Story
Sir Harrison aka Harry Is The sweetest most friendly pup! He is happy, well mannered and loves being where ever his foster peeps are. His fave activities include walks, hikes, watching TV, car rides, snuggles, and naps! We rescued him just in nick of time from a overcrowded southern shelter. When he arrived in VT at his vol foster home we were shocked at how bald, Calloused his underlying skin was and full of worms he was… well thats history now, he’s fully regained his handsome fur & he’s doing really well. Gets along great with all his foster peeps & foster siblings, he is quiet & well mannered. Loves “lap time”! If you are mature minded, emotionally & financially secure with a fenced yard and time to walk him every day then you might be a good match for him! We posted a video of him on youtube, checkout the link https://youtu.be/IKq5nf0xKz0?feature=shared Interested?

Story
We originally got Ragnar as a puppy from a rescue that brings animals from the south so his exact breed is unknown. As you can see from the picture he definitely has some coonhound in him and that shows in his personality as well. He is extremely curious with a nose that doesn't stop. His current home has 2 other dogs (one his size and a smaller one), a cat and a high energy 8 year old boy. He gets along with all of them and I would label him as playful with the cat. His only fault with cat is he doesn't realize the cat isn't interested in playing and is only 10 lbs. My only concern with other dogs in a perspective home would be that they wouldn't like his high energy. He does enjoy cuddling on the couch and isn't always a crazy goofball. He is always on a run when outside so his nose doesn't get the best of him. My neighbors don't mind noise but he will definitely need a bark collar in a residential neighborhood.

Story
Kane is a 7 year old pitbull bulldog mix he is a very sweet boy but sadly suffers from seizures. He has some permanent damage to his eye sight and at night has accidents because he still has small seizures while he sleeps. Unfortunately because of his eye sight he scares very easily and is uneasy on his feet. He will need a quiet patient home with no small children. I wish we didn't have to rehome him but w several small kids 1 being autistic the noises and quick movements scare him and he gets very defensive growling and barring his teeth because he can't see them. Our home is no longer what is best for him and we want him to have a happy quiet life
