Story
Bailey is 8 months old weighs 15lbs. I don’t think she will get much bigger. She listens very well. She is a sweet, cuddly fun playful puppy. She loves the outdoors. Loves to explore outside, chew on sticks, play fetch, play tug of war and run. I would love to see her go to someone who spends lots of time outdoors and who is home most of the time and has a big yard for her to run. Kids for her to play with would be a plus. I want her to be part of the family. She is so sweet and so smart. She knows how to sit and she loves her treats. She has somewhat long hair so she will need regular grooming appointments. She does jump to say hi. I’m trying to teach her not to. She’s just such a sweet pup so I will ask a lot of questions and want to see where you live before I rehome her. Please understand that, She deserves the best.

Story
Looking for a gentle giant to fill your home with love and laughter? Meet Brute, a 6-year-old Mastiff mix who might just be the world's biggest lapdog. Weighing in at a whopping 140 lbs., Brute is a big softie with an even bigger heart. Despite his name, he's more of a gentle teddy bear than a tough guy. What Makes Brute Special: Cuddle Champion: If snuggling were an Olympic sport, Brute would take home the gold. This lovable lug likes to be as close to his humans as possible. Forget personal space; Brute believes it's his job to keep you warm and loved at all times. Sweet as Pie: Don't let his size fool you—Brute is as sweet as they come. He's got a heart full of kindness and a calm demeanor that makes him the perfect companion for cozy nights in and lazy Sunday mornings. Stealthy Sofa Ninja: Think your couch is safe from Brute's snuggles? Think again! This big boy has mastered the art of sneaking onto the furniture for some extra cuddle time. He might be 140 lbs., but he moves with the grace of a cat… or at least he tries. He needs a one person and quiet household.

Come meet him today, but be warned: One look into those big, soulful eyes, and you’ll be a goner! P.S. He will need to be crated when gone as he doesn't like to be left alone.
