Story
Meet Snoopy! Snoopy is a beautiful, 6-year-old Labrador Retriever mix weighing between 50–60 lbs. She is a sweet girl who is completely accustomed to an outdoor lifestyle. She currently lives happily in a spacious outdoor pen with her own dog house. Snoopy is a loyal, wonderful companion. Snoopy’s Ideal Home: • Outdoor Lifestyle: Snoopy is a true outdoor girl and needs a home where she can continue living outside. She is not suited for an indoor routine but thrives when she has a secure outdoor kennel, a large pen, or a farm to hang out on. • No Small Pets: Like a true Lab mix, Snoopy has a strong, natural prey drive. She loves to chase cats, chickens, and other small animals, so her new property must be entirely free of small pets. Snoopy's brother, Trouble, is also up for adoption! While they can be adopted separately, they have spent their whole lives together and would absolutely love to find a home where they can stay side-by-side.

Story
Meet Leo! This handsome Goldendoodle is a sweet, curious boy with a big personality and plenty of puppy energy. He loves being around his people and is always ready for some fun, especially a good game of fetch. Once he’s burned off some energy, his favorite place to settle is right at your feet. Leo loves having his people nearby and may bark when they’re out of sight, so he’s still learning that being alone is okay. His foster family is working with him on socialization and all the important puppy basics, including potty training, leash walking, grooming, and basic commands. Leo is an active, curious pup who would love a family that will continue his training and include him in their everyday adventures. He has lots to learn, but he also has lots of love to give and is ready to grow up alongside his forever family. Leo’s adoption fee is $400 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. If you’d like to make Leo part of your family, apply today at fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com. This puppy is too young to be altered. A $100 deposit is due at the time of adoption. Once Leo is neutered, the deposit will be refunded.

Story
Meet Jax! We believe he is 1-3 years old. We rescued him from a kill shelter thinking he could be cat friendly. However, after three months of trying to work with his cat reactive behavior, he’s not made enough improvement for us to be comfortable around our cats. He is a very sweet, obedient, and a fun dog, We’ve had a great time with him and if it weren’t for our cats we would keep this precious baby. He is crate trained, does well on leash, travels well, sleeps in his crate, takes commands well, doesn’t chew, doesn’t jump on people, and we will provide a crate, toys, bed, and 4 months of heartworm/flea/tick preventative to whomever adopts him.

Story
Buddy is 7 or 8 and just lost his owner to cancer. Very laid back and chill but gets the zoomies. Needs large yard with or without a fence. It’s used to staying in his own yard without a leash. Very sweet dog. My other dogs don’t like his large size so we are trying to find him a new home.
