Story
I saved cole from Memphis animal services because he was about to be euthanized. I already have other animals and i just cant afford another dog, nor do i have the time to properly care for him anymore. Cole is an amazing dog, he is great with big and small dogs, as well as cats. He is off leash trained and knows sit and down. He loves to dances for food and loves to be loved on. Cole did come from a shelter very fearful so he would need a home that knows how to deal with scared dogs. Once he gets used to you he is your best friend and is always by your side wanting to play.

Story
We found Bruno wandering near a library in Cordova, TN. His skin was in terrible condition and we noticed his legs were deformed. His legs are getting stronger, his skin condition is resolved, he has been neutered, and is also up to date on shots. He is a sweet dog, good with my eight-year-old and our cats. Our little dogs will get in his cage and bark at him and that bothers him. But as long as they are playing in the yard, he is fine.
