Story
Puppy breath!! Hi, I’m Cole, (red collar) from the Olympic Litter. I am 10 weeks old and a happy, healthy boy. I weigh over 8 pounds. I had my first puppy shots and my microchip is available at adoption. My pretty Momma was rescued by Adopt A Golden Birmingham and her first vet check revealed she was pregnant with us. Surprise! She’s a dainty lady with a white coat and a sweet face, and Papa was a rolling stone. I’m a big boy and leader of the pack but I’m very calm and LOVE to be held and cuddled. I have 7 brothers and sisters and two have already found their forever home. I cannot wait to find mine! We all can’t wait. Everybody tells us we are precious little bundles of joy. Please pick me!

Maddie is a 7 month old Border Collie / Bernard mix. I took her in to find her forever home when her owner didn't want her and allowed her and siblings to run neighborhood. This pretty little girl is a sweet natured, energetic, and very smart. She loves being pet and loved on. She is good with kids, other dogs, and cats (she trys to play with our cat) She is a little shy at first until she gets to know you. She is looking for a home with a fenced in back yard so she can run and play. She is also crate trained at bedtime.

Story
Our dog is gentle and kind especially good with young children. She is a purebred mini Australian Shepherd from a sheep farm. She is 3 1/2 years old and we have been her only owners. Due to an increased traveling work schedule for 2025 and kids very involved with activities. We are out of town every single week. We feel guilty, leaving our dog constantly at the vet to be boarded. She loves the outdoors and activities with family members. She is healthy and active. She is house trained. She is our only pet so not sure how she would be around other pets. She is great for a family that wants to skip the puppy stage and have a healthy young adult dog to join their family. She is great for long walks and hikes.

Story
I found this sweet dog outside our shop. He is likely under one year old, and is literally the sweetest dog I’ve ever met. He gets along amazing with my two other pitbulls, he is very submissive and playful. He just wants love and affection more than any other dog I’ve ever had, and clearly just wants a home and to please the owner.
