Everest is a giant baby who loves cuddles, sleeping on a queen size bed and more cuddles. She is nervous around slick floors, but treats get her pretty much anywhere. She is protective around the house, yet very friendly with strangers. Loves kids and playing with her sister Dandy. She has learned a lot of commands, including sit, stay, come, crate, comida, down. She gets anxious when seeing other dogs around the house and is vocal though usually just wants to play.

Story
Maverick is an amazing and loving purebred German shepherd from Texas. He is 5 years old and is always in a great mood. He is so much fun to play with and always full of energy! He still thinks he’s a lap dog, and when he gets know you will love you with all of his heart. He is fully house trained, leash trained (still pulls a little bit), and e-collar trained (not shock collar). He has been around other dogs all of his life and children the last 3 years. He’s a great protector of the house and will make sure you know if someone is approaching. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you are interested in meeting this special boy

Story
It’s with heavy hearts that we are seeking a new home for Wally. He has been a part of our family for the past year after inheriting him from a deceased family member. Unfortunately, we’re relocating and unable to take him with us. Meet Wally Breed: Walker Coonhound Age: ~7 years Personality: Docile and laid-back, Wally is a gentle giant who loves to keep to himself but has a playful, curious streak. He is friendly with kids, other dogs, and cats. Needs: While he is primarily an indoor dog, Wally would thrive with outdoor space to explore. A large yard or open area is ideal, as he has a bit of an adventurous (and escape-prone!) spirit. Health: Up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My sweet Tusla would not be needing to be rehomed if it were it not for life circumstances beyond my means. She is amazingly sweet, intelligent, and food driven. She knows so many tricks I taught her from sit, lay down, spin, reverse the other way, paw, give the other paw, sit pretty, speak, whisper. She will get into food if it is accessible and she is left alone. She will get crafty and try to reach it. Best pay to prevent this is regular walks and mental stimulation when out like a freezer treat toy or lick pad. She is great on or off leash. She has great recall. Cannot be left outside without leash as she can wonder if there is no fence. She will chase and bark at other dogs but should not be homed with a dog that does not respect boundaries. She is living with 2 German shepherds now that struggle to respect her space. (not my dogs) She also has a fat tumor, no vet has expressed concerns for or asked to biopsy. I wanted to ask a precaution due to her older age, however I cannot.

Story
Meet Miley! Age: 6 Weight: 60lbs Good with dogs: does best with slow proper introductions Good with cats: no Good with kids: unknown but would likely be fine with respectful children Housetrained: yes Attributes: not destructive in the home, quiet, calm This middle aged brindle beauty is ready for her home! Miley is a wonderful housemate and has all the things you might be looking for in a dog. She's quiet, housetrained, and very respectful in the home. Miley loves car rides and going on long walks, so she will be requiring a home that will take her on lots of adventures! Miley has done well interacting with dogs but does best with slow proper introductions. She thinks cats are great fun to chase, so felines need not apply! We do not know how Miley does with kids, but given her temperament we think she'd do fine with respectful children. Miley loves people and really just wants to be wherever you are! She loves to spend time outside and would do best with a fenced yard. She can get overwhelmed with a lot of commotion on leash, so apartments are not a good fit for her. Miley is an all around good girl who is more than deserving of a home to call her own. So look no further than her if you're ready for your new best friend! Miley is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting her, please fill out an application on our website and we will get it to her foster family!
