Story
We adopted Nelly in December of 2023 and she’s about 2 years old now. She is a big, beautiful girl with a lot of energy and a lot of love to give. She’s also very strong willed, smart, and needs constructive ways to channel that intelligence. She’s very capable and quick to learn commands (already knows a few) and is food motivated. She will need an experienced owner who is familiar with the breed and can give her adequate attention, exercise, and regular grooming. She could benefit from some professional training and she needs works with walking on a leash. She is house broken and kennel trained. She loves to run free any chance she gets so a fenced in yard is a must (she hasn’t jumped a standard height fence with us). She does well with young kids, not tested with cats, and would love another doggie companion. Nelly comes with an extra large kennel and many other supplies.

Story
I got cobra from a family friend about 2 years ago. I am not able to bring him with me whenever I move so I am looking for a dog loving family. He loves to play with other dogs although I’m not sure about cats, because I do not own one. He loves the outdoors and car rides. He loves to get cuddles all the time.

Story
Debuting Today: Get your application in quickly for this amazing girl. Libby, Libster, Libby Lou Libby is the best girl. If she has a fault, it's she just loves to run and play ball, all day. Saved from being euthanized at a rural pound, for having demodectic mange, Libby is 100% healthy and seeking her Furever home. We have no idea what breed she is, other than striking.. Libby is about 2 yrs old 65lbs, spayed, chipped and all vaccines are current, she is housebroken. Libby would love to have a playmate, she is dog, cat and kid friendly. An active family to hike and walk would be a dream come true for her. She does require a secure fenced yard, as she is an explorer. Libby can clear a 4' fence and can climb a 6' chain link. She would make a wonderful agility dog, with time and training. If you're in the market for a loving, loyal and unique companion Libby is your girl.
