He’s very easygoing, loves everyone, and would be the happiest little man just to snuggle with you all day long. He’s not a fan of being in a crate, but being an older guy, he’s perfectly content snoozing away on the couch until you get home.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 14, 2024, 4:37 pm

Sadly her owner passed away and she is back with Proverbs to find a new forever family. Maybelle is a package deal with her dog sister, Mimi. While not blood relatives, they have been together from the start and are a bonded pair. This sweet girl can play for hours with other dogs, but wants to be near her humans & Mimi. She is a hound mix, so she does let her nose get the best of her. A fully secure fenced in back yard is needed. If she’s not playing, she’s sleeping. This beautiful girl is great with dogs & humans. Her foster mom doesn’t not have children or cats. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 14, 2024, 4:37 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Miss Abby Zee is as sweet as they come! She loves her people and other dogs.  Abby absolutely LOVES playing with toys (particularly chew toys and squeaky toys), she will happily squeak or chew for hours on end with the world’s biggest smile plastered on her face. Poor girl doesn’t quite understand gravity though and regularly gets confused when she drops her toy off the couch—only to immediately do it again.  If you’re looking for a potty trained, leash trained, crate trained dog with endless love to give, Abby is the girl for you. Plus, she even knows basic commands!  All she needs to be happy is her people— she doesn’t care if that means an apartment or a fenced in back yard. She loves to curl up on the couch for a movie night. And when you’re up for an adventure, Abby is too! She is an excellent copilot and does so well in the car.  If you’re ready to make a lifelong commitment, you can’t go wrong with Abby Zee. She promises countless laughs, snuggles and love.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 14, 2024, 4:37 pm
