Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Sweet, mellow tempered dog who loves to play. She will play rough with other dogs but is not aggressive. Loves to run. She loves cuddles and will want to sleep on your bed with you. If you don't have round handles on your doors you will need something to keep your bedroom door shut, otherwise she opens the door, pulls back your blanket and sheets and will sleep on your pillows. Responsive to her name, nicknames, commands, and cues. She understands not to pass the yellow grids on the sidewalk and will go when you say "cross" and stop at "wait". She pulls the leash but has gotten better. I have little time for her, which has caused her to take special interest in the sliding glass door where she'll bark at neighbors passing by. When we go on our daily walk she has a lot of energy, so she pulls, wants to smell everything, and does zoomies in the small dog park. I would like for her to have a yard to play in. She's not sensitive to the cold, but will need coconut oil for her dry skin.

Story
Pepper is the sweetest pup ever. Super affectionate and gentle. She loves kids and the elderly (and people in general) and will protect the home. She loves to lay in the sun and will do anything for food. She can sit, stay, wave, shake, and keep a treat on her paw til you tell her to "get it". She is fully house trained and does great indoors and out. Our family is experiencing some very challenging health issues requiring us to travel. Pepper is needing a more stable routine and cannot travel with us. Looking for a family that wants a companion. She does especially well with kids who want a pet to give all their love to. She is the sweetest dog and will be your very best friend. Have listed an adoption fee, but if you think Pepper is a good fit for your family, we would be willing to wave it. Just want the right home for our beloved dog. She deserves a good life.

Story
Hunter is a very loving mixed breed dog. Hunter was dumped along the highway about 3 years ago and I kept him as a companion to my other dog. They get along great! Since, I acquired Hunter, he has received regular checks at the vet and is very healthy. He is house trained, does not chew and does good with kids. He weighs approximately 80 pounds. I am anticipating alot of travel soon and need to rehome him and my other dog also. I prefer they go together, but will consider good individual homes. Hunter will come with at least one month of food, collar, leash, indoor bed, flea/tick meds and heartwormer meds.
