We need to rehome Bane! He is a beagle/bulldog/boxer mix! He is a good talk he would just be best as an only dog or animal. He knows sit and is potty trained. He needs an active life..he loves to go for walks and play outside. He whines when he needs to go out to potty or wants food and water. He does great with our 9 and 7 year old...he has grown up with them! He is a great dog just needs to be in an only animal. Please feel free to message me with any questions. We want the best possible home for him. We are asking $50 to make sure he goes to a good home!!

Story
Scout is 4 years old. He has always been an inside dog that lives in the country and would not do good unsupervised outdoors. When Scout was born there was only one grandchild in the family, now there are 6. For the last 6 mo he has low keyed growled at the children when they visit which obviously has their parents extremely concerned. He has never bit them due to being separated at all times now but that leaves him alone too much and he deserves better than that. Scout definitely has potential to be wonderful in an environment that is best for him. He has always done very well in the house and prefers to be in his kennel at night. We have had several labs before Scout so we are not unfamiliar with the breed, please be kind with questions. This is not a quick decision on our part however an unfortunate injury to my husband months ago and an ailing parent has us here and has also haulted consistency in training, no doubt he will be quick to relearn and be back to his best self.

Story
🐾Dasher has been working with our friends at Perfect Pet. 🐾He is a very friendly boy who knows his basic obedience commands like walking nicely on a leash, sit, down, come, and place. He is muzzle trained. Dasher would prefer a home by himself but would be okay to go to a home with a calm housemate through proper introduction and structured playtimes. Pushy or ill mannered dogs are a big trigger for him. He does great with people and loves to give snuggles and kisses as well as going for joy rides in the car. When he’s outside he loves to play ball, go on walks and run. When he’s inside he loves to lounge on the couch ready to cuddle. Dasher’s not a big barker either and keeps quiet most of the time. His new owners will need to be willing to put time into continuing his training and learning the commands he knows. Perfect Pet will do free lessons with his adoptive owners so you can learn everything this smart boy knows!Dasher would prefer a fenced in yard and a big comfy couch to lounge. ❤️He has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. If you are interested in adopting Dasher, please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application. When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered.

Story
Wiser… Look at this lovable guy! Wiser is an almost 5 years old terrier mix. He weighs about 70 lbs, is up to date on vaccines, is heartworm negative on heartworm prevention and is neutered. Wiser is a BIG time cuddle bug and loves to play. If he doesn’t have any furry friends to keep him company he will politely bring you one of his favorite toys to play with. He does great with other dogs big and small. A home without a cat would be best and a fenced in yard would be preferred.
