Story
When we found Dixie she had almost no hair. Her skin was horribly infected and painful. With baths and medications she is now well under control and pretty easy to maintain. She will need continued care to not end up with issues again as there are likely underlying allergies involved. She’s easy to treat and takes her baths well. Dixie is in a foster home with other dogs and cats. She is a great dog!  She gets a little too attached to her person and con sometimes not want to share that person but it is trainable. She’s a smart girl and listens well. She does not like to be in trouble.  If you would like to meet this darling girl please email or text us.

Meet Gloria, a young canine with a heart full of sweetness. Her mellow nature makes caring for her a joyful task. She was shy when she first came to us, a little hesitant, a bit unsure.

Her shy nature would benefit from a patient and kind home that will help her adjust to her new home at her own pace.

Story
Meet Xena!   She is a sweet, quiet, and gentle Pit Bull mix with medium to low energy. She loves to be with her people but also loves to snooze when left alone. Xena is very affectionate and gives cute nose bumps when she wants attention. She is crate trained, house trained, and sometimes jumps on furniture but understands the “off” command very well. She also loves a good sturdy chew toy and will keep herself entertained. She does well on leash with a little guidance and needs a 20-30 minute walk twice a day. She rarely ever barks or whines and is an overall very polite and easy dog. She would do best in a calm home without children or small pets. She would do well with other calm dogs her size or larger, with slow and proper introduction. She’s such a loyal loving dog and can’t wait to find her forever home. Interested in adopting this pet?
