Story

Holly is a cute, affectionate and active young dog, look at those ears ! She doesn't miss anything. She loves people, but should ideally only live with adults and older children due to her activity level. She is dog selective in a defensive way, she becomes uneasy when an unknown dog approaches. Her new owner(s) would ideally be experienced with bully breed dogs. She is very active and will need an owner(s) who can give her enough exercise to wear her out, like a runner !! She needs a securely fenced yard with a 6 ft privacy fence, as she likes to leap and jump in her play. She is about 4 yrs old and 35 lbs, a great snuggle size; she's also good on a leash. She's been fully vetted, including spay, vaccines and deworming. She's very playful and loves her toys including old buckets, balls, kongs, antlers, beef bones and anything that can be thrown or she can kick around. She's sweet and playful, and will make a great pet for the right person. Please contact us with any questions, and to meet this sweet girl.

Story

Nikki is one of the most lovable pitties you'll ever meet. She's roughly 13 years old but still had the energy of a pup. She abandoned at about 2 years and was adopted by me but now my my job responsibilities have pulled me away from home more and more to where I'm not able to give her the proper care that she needs and am trying to find a family environment for her to where she'll get the love and attention that she loves and needs. Nikki loves to be played with and get all the attention from anyone that will give it to her. She's non aggressive towards humans and loves kids! It takes her time to acclimate to other dogs but with time does adjust just doesn't care to be bothered. She's a senior dog and has a deteriorating left eye but that doesn't stop her at all. Nikki loves her bed and will never say no to a comfy place to call her bed. I hate to see her go. She's my companion but I need to do what's best for her and get her the continued love that she needs.

Story

Meet Burly! What a sweet boy! He is a large, goofy guy who loves walks and attention. Despite being so big and strong, he is surprisingly gentle taking treats. Once his nose hits the ground he is on the move. He loves new smells and places to explore. He will happily return to you for treats. Burly would love a fenced-in yard or frequent leash walks for exercise and enrichment.Burly is a big, happy dude who loves to have fun! He loves to run and play with toys. He knows how to sit, and would love to learn some more tricks and manners. Burly is eager to please, especially if it involves cookies. He just wants a person and home to call his own. He has so much love to give. He's just waiting for his second chance. Call about this lovable guy today!We have noticed that Burly likes cats a little too much (will chase them), so we recommend he go into a home with none. He is curious but scared of chickens. Burly has done well with playing after very long and slow introductions. He can be unsure of new dogs, and needs to go at his pace. He doesn't like to share food or water bowls with other dogs. He should probably be the only pet in the home, but he would be the PERFECT family pet.He is current on all his age-appropriate vaccines, and preventatives, microchipped and neutered. Since being with us for more than 6 months, we consider him one our Lonely Hearts which makes his adoption $0 for the summer because he is being sponsored.

Duncan

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Duncan! This adorable tripod is friendly, loves to play, and enjoys head rubs. Duncan loves long walks as well where he can explore. Despite one missing leg, he really is such a perfect pup. Duncan cannot wait for his forever family to come pick him up! So please, if you find this guy as charming as we do, come meet him today!Duncan came to us as a stray with his front left leg amputated, but we unfortunately do not know why. This however does not slow this big boy down. He is incredibly sweet with every person he has met, even when he was scared of the new environment. Adoption fee paid for and sponsored by a donor. Recently written by his previous adopter: returned after two fights with the resident dog. We are at this time recommending him to be an only dog. "Duncan, AKA Dunky Bear and Funky Dunky, is the sweetest, most loyal, and loving 3-legged wonder you'll ever meet. Duncan truly defies all odds with his personality being so pure, while missing a whole limb! Duncan LOVES attention and cuddles, and despite his size, thinks he's a teeny tiny lap dog! He will lick you to death, so you don't have to worry about bath time anymore (for his humans at least), because someone isn't a fan of bath time for himself! Unfortunately, Duncan can be easily stressed, and has had a couple of incidents with other dogs in the home, so he would be best with being the only pup, or a meet-and-greet because he does seem dog-selective, but who can blame him? He seems to have been through so much in his little life, yet is still such a sweetheart. He would gladly do anything for his human, as he has shown to be very loyal! He is very curious, so redirection is necessary sometimes, but he is easily redirected and is very very smart! He is house-trained, and is very food motivated! He loves his treats, chew toys, and anything else he can play with, even if it's not always a toy! He is a truly one-of-a-kind, and he deserves the world! Please give this wonderful, loving, and full-of-life baby a chance!" Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 64 Age: 5yrs 9mths 1wks
