He was picked up by us after he wandered into someone’s farm and they threatened him. We have had him about a year and now we can no longer care for him and want him to go somewhere he will be loved and cared for after being told shelters and rescues are full and nobody nearby can take him. We hope whoever decides to adopt him loves him just as much as we have.

Story
Winston is 6 years old. His nickname is Stoney. He loves going for walks and getting rubs and lots of cuddles. Would prefer an active adopter as he loves being outside with people. He barks at new people but just wants to be pet by them and will run up to people for pets. Very friendly pup. He does have anxiety and currently takes a daily anxiety medication. To help him sleep through the night since that’s when his anxiety peaks. He does great with other dogs. No experience with cats but I couldn’t see that being an issue. He’s a lover not a fighter. He also enjoys day care and has done great in a kennel with a daycare while we travel. He also does well in the car, loves to hang out the window catching all the wind in his hair. Comes with crate, leash, harness, toys, bowls, current anxiety medication ( hoping he won’t need anymore once in a new home)

Story
Lucky was a stray dog. She's been with us briefly but isn't a good fit. She prefers to be outdoors all the time. Furthermore, she loves treeing possums and squirrels. Lucky is up-to-date on all her shots. She is spayed and microchipped. We are looking for someone who would love an outdoor-type dog. She is house-trained but does make mistakes when pottying indoors. Most of the time she will bark to go out. She is good with other dogs, and cats. She is fine around chickens and ducks if in her own space next to them and will keep other critters away as she has for us. She needs outdoor space which we just don't have currently for her. If you are interested in her please contact us at 252-397-0767
