Story
This handsome guy is such a sweet boy outside of his kennel. He’s affectionate and calm and enjoys being pet. He enjoys his time out with the volunteers so much that he really does not like to go back to his kennel.Hector was introduced to several dogs at the kennel and he was such a good sport. He played with them and was gentle and respectful. He was very tolerant of the young pups who were jumping all over him and he enjoyed the calmer ones who just wanted calm play with him. He’s got this really laid back personality. He will just sit or lay next to you for hours getting pets and getting under coat brushed out. He’s really a super chill beautiful soul. He’s desperately hoping to find a way out of here soon!Hector was introduced to cats and was indifferent. We would need to officially test him with any dogs in the home and introduce him slowly to any cats in the house. We can’t say enough good things about Hector!

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

These pups are in McKeesport, Pennsylvania too!

Kaya is a very special young lady. She is shy at first but once she warms up to you she will cuddle, play, anything you like. Kaya is 40lbs.She is very smart. She learns extremely fast.Kaya is crate trained, and she will hide inside her crate until she knows she is safe. Once she is alone with you though she bonds.Kaya is so soft and cuddly, she is getting used to being brushed, and she found out she likes a bath. Kaya is housebroken. She Loves playing with all the dogs here, doesn't mind my 2 cats...not sure if she will chase because my cats stand their ground, and lived in a home with young children. Kaya is lazy if you want, or energetic, she's perfect.The family that had her could not keep her due to their new trailer park not allowing Kaya's breed. She was spayed April 13th and is ready to go Home and show someone alot of love.Kaya is beautiful inside and out. She has so much love to give and the best hugs. She will touch her cheek to yours for her special hug. Warms the heart.
