Story
Shellie was abandoned by owner at a boarding facility heartworm positive and unspayed. She has since then been spayed and treated for heartworms and recently tested negative. She is a velcrongirl who loves to ride with her person. She would be best suited as an only dog as she has become selective about other furfriends. SHELLIE will be the best sidekick anyone could ask for. If youre looking for a running buddy or ride along she is the perfect convenient size as a travel companion. Shellie is house trained and crate trained and loves indoors and outside time.

Story
Nevaeh is a sweet, loving, 8 year old Border Collie/Dutch Shepherd that we are unfortunately having to rehome due to moving from a house to a rental. She is picky with other dogs but coexists peacefully with cats (she's lived with 4 cats for years). Even though she is 8, she is still highly energetic and loves to have her time outside. Nevaeh would do best as a single dog due to her selectiveness with other dogs. She is good with older kids but not completely sure how she would do with young infants and toddlers. She is a loving companion who will be there for you when you're upset and will always put a smile on your face.

Their journey began when their parents, Millie and Brownie, were found living at a local farmers market. Residents told us they had been surviving there for at least two weeks, and we were asked to step in and help. We hired a professional trapper, safely brought them into our rescue, and thought everyone was finally safe. Then came the surprise... 4 boys 3 Girls Millie was pregnant! Which she was schedule for a spay on June 25th Just a short time later, she welcomed this beautiful litter into the world. Based on Mom and Dad's size, we believe these puppies are Collie mixes and expect them to mature to around 35 pounds or less. We're now accepting pre-adoption applications! Simply include the name of the puppy you're interested in on your application. About Mom & Dad Brownie (Dad) has already been neutered, fully vetted, and is currently undergoing treatment for heartworms using the slow-kill method. Millie (mom) will be spayed as soon as her puppies are weaned, her milk has dried up, and it is medically safe for her surgery.

Story
My old family gave up on me and could no longer take care of me. I like to sit in the back of my kennel and then the second I see you come running up to the gate. I love to be given treats, I will eat almost anything you hand me. I am a quick learner and have learned some of my basic commands. I like to get my nails trimmed and love baths. I have this cute look about me when I hear a sound I tilt my head to the side. I love to give kisses to kids and have met a couple of dog friends. I am so looking forward to being apart of your family. ##1785803##
