Story
This is Kevin. He showed up at our house in NE Alabama on July 23, 2023. He was skin and bones, covered in ticks and fleas, only weighed 22lbs, and was just pitiful. Now he is full of life, UTD, HW neg, on flea prevention and the sweetest boy ever! He loves playing with our dogs and he knows sit, wait, go, and shake. Kevin is ready to go to rescue or directly to an approved home. #rescuedog Please share with rescues and friends. **Transportation can be arranged** Thank you #findkevinahome

All her brothers and sisters have gone north and have been adopted. All her friend from the Rail Road gang (7 to be exact) have been adopted, her other friends from the Patriots Group have been adopted and many more that came and went before heifers arrival and after her arrival. WHY!? Heifer is the sweetest and most loving, smartest and most outgoing personality of any pups I have ever known. She and he siblings were all hand raise from the day they were born. She is now going on 6 months of age and she is STILL waiting for her furever home. Heifer is completely vetted, up to date on all her shots, she has been on flea/tick/heartworm prevention since she was 8 weeks old and she is spayed. She has been friends with many dogs that have come and gone from her foster home and is the most welcoming to new comers than anyone. She will make a great companion to any family.
