Story
Sapphire has a great personality. She’s always happy and loves to lick. She has allergies to weed/feedchemicals used on grass. So she is currently growing her hair back since we found out the cause. We use special probiotic sensitive skin shampoo. She is a natural herder. She would do best with yard to run and great with little children. She loves all the pet, but is not constantly needy for them and/or attention like her littermate Athena.

Story
T-Boy is 4 yrs. old, will be 5 on Jan. 22. 2025. He is a miniature Schnauzer/Yorkie mix, approximately 15 lbs. The most sweet and loveable little guy. He is house potty-trained, but is inconsistent. He will go for weeks without a mishap, but then have accidents. Weather is an issue as he does not like to go outside when it's raining, so I make sure to have a puppy pad for him on rainy days. We adopted him in Jan. 2022 from a shelter in north Louisiana to have as a buddy for our (now 8 yr. old) miniature Schnauzer and they immediately accepted each other. My husband was retired and home all day to tend to both. My husband recently passed away, but I continue to work full-time 5 days a week. It has become overwhelming to tend to 2 dogs, so, with a heavy heart, I feel I need to let T-Boy be with and loved by another pet parent. He is up-to-date on vaccinations and in great health. All his vet records will accompany him.

Story
Hello! My name is Atlas and I’m a 6 year old GSD/husky mix. I was adopted from some lady that couldn’t take care of me when I was a baby. I rarely bark and love running all around the back yard! I also enjoy couch sleeps and cuddles. As I am just a 115 lb lap dog… I currently have 3 human siblings (5mo, 9yo, 13yo) and I love playing with them! I’m just a little too rough with the baby.. I'm an only dog and like it that way. Hmm. What else.. OOOUUU I absolutely LOVE chewing.. anything. All the things. So I usually get the good chew toys and the deer antlers. My perfect home would be a place I’d get decent amount attention but not too much cause I like to nap. Also would love lots and lots of room to run with NO leash/lead. If you got that and wanna love on me, give us a ring! Bye for now!

Story
Toby joined our family around Christmas 3 years ago, bringing warmth and joy to our home as a college buddy and best friend. Toby is an incredible dog who has brought so much love and laughter into our lives. He’s the kind of dog who will happily snuggle up with you, play when you’re up for it, or just lounge around to keep you company. Toby is a goofy, affectionate dog with a big heart! He’s wonderful with kids and even cats! While he got along well with our former dog, he can sometimes feel anxious or reactive around unfamiliar dogs, so his ideal home might be one where he is the only dog. One of Toby’s best qualities is his great behavior- he has NEVER been destructive, so you can trust that your shoes and furniture are safe! He's house-trained, respectful, and just a joy to be around. Our hearts are heavy knowing we cant take Toby with us on our upcoming move, but we’re hopeful that he’ll find a family that will cherish him as much as us! *We’d be happy to provide his things!
