Story
WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for JAX!! Jax was part of a family before being surrendered to an extremely high kill shelter! He quickly moved to the euthanasia list because of overcrowding, and all odds were stacked against him being a black bully breed. Thankfully a networker obtained these home videos, and that's what saved his life and got him out of the shelter system! Jax is a AMAZING, loving, good boy, that loves to cuddle! His energy level is low to medium. He gets along with smaller dogs, or larger easy going dogs, Jax would do great in a home with adults or older children, but not a fan of cats. Loves walks and exploring the world! Can you help Jax to be part of a family again? The VERY first step is completing an application on-line.

WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for SWEET GRACIE!! This sweet, gentle, loving little soul, who should be enjoying her golden years, was dumped at a high kill shelter and left to die alone! NO WAY!!! We got this little lady out of there, had her medically treated for the horrible upper respiratory infection she picked up at the shelter, and one of our amazing fosters nursed her back to health! Gracie is well mannered, sweet, cuddly, kind, gentle, loving, potty trained, and just a sweet little lady, ready to enjoy her golden years with someone to love! Gracie is a bit hard of hearing, and a bit visually impaired, but that doesn't hold her back! Other than that she is medically sound. Can you be Gracie's person and share her golden years with her?

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Focused, determined and powerful. Monte is the most lovable bull in a china shop you will meet.  Monte knows many commands including: come, sit, down, stay, heel, and place.   Although he is trained, Monte is a very excitable/energetic boy who will need lots of walks and play time.  He is not aggressive with other dogs, but can become over-stimulated, so would be best as the only dog in the home and without young children.     Monte is a big boy and has lots of personality.  He is great with people and loves everyone he meets.  You just have to watch out for his whole body wiggle and whip of a tail!   There is never a dull moment when Monte is around.  Monte will need a home where his training will be reinforced with structure and exercise, and where he can give all the love and cuddles you want!    *Please complete our online application for further consideration.  We do best fit for both dog and family, and completing an application is not a guarantee of approval.  July 14, 2024, 12:54 pm

Story
Hey fans, Elvis here. What’s that? I’m a hunka, hunka burning love. Well, you got that right. Just look at me.  My mesmerizing eyes, my gorgeous amber coat, the cutest ears ever and muscles that don’t quit. The volunteers say I am the complete package and I’d have to agree. WOOF! Boy, they know me from nose to tail.  I am a little aloof, but love to be loved. Rub my ears, give me a treat and I melt, but spending quality time with my family means the world to me.. I look forward to my daily walks and start off cautiously checking out my surroundings and sniffing all the fabulous smells. Move slowly, give me a little time and space and once I feel grounded it’s giddy up and go, go, go. I do have a little, secret, I also like to jog. When I get the urge, off I go trotting along with the wind in my ears, a smile on my face and you in tow. These short bursts, often called High Intensity Training (HIT), make me one good looking pup and is great for your health too. It’s a win, win for you and me. Another little secret.. I do need to be the only pet in the home.  No dogs or cats and no dog beach/dog park.  You see, I'm ok being around other dogs, but I'm not one to share my personal space!  I have even worked with a trainer on how to be well behaved, and you will definitely need to be on board to continue my awesome training! So dear friends, if you are looking for a hunka, hunka burning love who has it going on, I am the family member for you. Trust me, you won’t regret it. I will fill your hearts with endless love, wags and kisses and you get to say, “ Elvis is in the house!” *no other pets/adult home only/no apartment! Need big dog experience, no first time dog owners!  *Please complete our online application for further consideration.  We do best fit for both dog and family, and completing an application is not a guarantee of approval.July 14, 2024, 12:54 pm
