Story
Mufasa came to the rescue from a county animal control agency as a stray. He was rescue only due to being heartworm positive. We are having him treated for heart worms, and neutered. Mufasa is amazingly cuggly, snuggly, loves affection, and attention. He is housetrained, and sleeps quietly all night. He loves to lay around in the house, and he is very quiet indoors. He would make a great family pet or a companion dog, we also believe he would make a great trained therapy dog.

Story
PB for Pretty Boy. He was a stray. He was found to be shot with a BB gun, abused and scared of sharp noises and quick movements. He is extremely skittish and will run when frightened. He will need a secure fenced yard! As being retired we have gotten to know him well. He is house broken. He is not a barker. He won't bark outside even when he hears other dogs. We had him nurtured so it wouldn't be a stressful with going to a new home. He would do best in a calm home. He has no training for commands nor vocabulary He has never shown any aggression. I can put my hand in his food bowl. He would do well in a calm home. A military veteran could take advantage of free obedience training. He gets along with dogs, cats and people if they behave. He has never growled or shown his teeth. He is looking for love, trust and a fun environment. His potty breaks are approximately 12 hours apart. He is satisfied during the day inside with a bone to keep him amused. No regrets with this sweet dog!

Buster is a 10 year old black long haired German Shepherd. He was raised from a pup with children (3 boys). He has lived with adult male person the last few years and this person can no longer meet the dogs needs. A divorce has caused a lack of care. We would like him to go to a home with fenced yard so he can run.

Story
Hi. I am Frederick. I am a 2-year-old combo platter of a dog and weigh about 64 pounds. I am a pretty chill guy, but I get very excited the first time I meet someone. After a few minutes, I will be in your lap giving you sloppy kisses in return for ear scratches and cuddles. I get very attached to my humans and think that I am the only game in town. So, I prefer that I am the only dog (or child) in the house.

Story
I am a one-year-old, very energetic American Bulldog/lab mix. I absolutely love walks and runs and raise my paw to all my caregivers to take me out first. Being part labrador I absolutely love the water. I am overjoyed to find any sprinkler or even puddle that I encounter. I would absolutely love it if I could try to swim in the lake. I am also very partial to running up and down ramps in the play area. I bet that if someone trained me to run an obstacle course, I would win competitions (especially if I get a treat). I really need someone who is active as I am because I have energy to burn!!. I really want to please my humans, but I need someone who will train me. I can be a bit particular so if you have other dog(s) in your home please, bring them by the shelter so we can meet.
