Story
Bella is the sweetest girl. She's active and playful so will need someone able play with her, at the same time she is a great cuddle buddy. Her sweet and silly personality will keep you entertained forever. She will be 8 this year, around June is her birthday. She just deserves so much more then what I can provide right now, I just hope to see her go to a loving home.

Story
Hello Lab lovers. This fine young fellow is Tyson. He is a 6 month old Black Lab + Great Dane mix-educated guess by both vets seen. He is now fully vaccinated, dewormed, started on flea protection & has had a 2nd nail trimming. And may I just say he has an AWESOME set of ears. It has been recommended for his muscle & bone development that neutering be done at 9 months. *The fee for this will be covered if adoption happens prior. He is learning basic commands & is being walked exercised daily. We will ease into the dog park. He likes other dogs & people. He was rescued at 2 months of age after having been abandoned in an apartment complex parking lot in the middle of a 20' night, March '24. The rescuers were no longer able to keep him due to canine size restrictions. I am now fostering him. Since he will outgrow my small backyard & short fence, the search for a home has started. All supplies come with him, along with the affection of those who have cared for him. 🐾🖤🐾
