Story
Budro is a 6 year old Blue Heeler. I got Budro in Kentucky back when he was just a little pup. He has a ton of energy, so we are hoping he will find a new home with plenty of space to run around and play. He is somewhat protective when around our house, he will bark when people outside of his inner circle come around. He is good with other dogs, he goes to boarding and has a blast. We have not had him around any small children since he was a puppy so we are unsure of how he will react. He does like to chew on fabric items like pillows, blankets, sheets, etc. when he is inside the house. He is a sweet boy and a very loyal. I think anyone who knows this breed well would be happy to have him.

Story
Jack is two years old and has made incredible progress over the past year while working with a behavior specialist and trainer. He knows, understands, and reliably follows 16 different commands—a testament to how smart and capable he is. Through his training, Jack has overcome resource guarding and built strong skills, but he still does best when he has one clear, consistent person as his handler. It’s become clear that Jack thrives most in a single-person home, where expectations and leadership are simple and predictable for him. For the right person, Jack will be an incredibly loyal and loving companion. He forms deep bonds and truly gives his whole heart to his person. He loves playing chase with his toys, going on walks where he can practice his commands, and, of course, enjoying tasty snacks. Jack is a bright, devoted dog who will flourish with someone looking for a one-on-one best friend. We will cover his vitamins for life and a month of training to help you bond.

MEET CHARLOTTE! 🐾 This sweet 10-year-old pitbull mix is looking for her forever home. She is spayed and current on a Rabies vaccine. Formerly underweight, she’s currently 38#, full of confidence, and deserves a loving, safe environment to enjoy her golden years. She has a gentle temperament, walks well on a harness, and gets along well with our clinic cat. If you're ready to open your heart to a lovable senior and can provide a low maintenance environment, Charlotte is your girl! Charlotte is heartworm positive but is receiving treatment and is in good spirits. Any additional medical needs can be discussed at the request of the potential adopter. We are a vet clinic and are only taking calls and answering emails during operating hours. We will get back to you as soon as possible!

Carter is a fun, friendly, loving little dog. He is also very playful and very nosy and likes to be next to you all the time. Carter is looking for a loving home with a family that can give him lots of playtime and lots of personal time he would love to become the perfect addition to the right families home. Carter will be 1 the beginning of march. Due to my health and having to move, I cannot no longer care for him, but want to find someone that loves him just as much as I do..

Princessa is 1 year old and the sweetest dog and so full of Iove. I unfortunately just went through a breakup and can no longer house the dog due to my apartment restrictions and she stayed at my exs house when I adopted her from a friend who found her on the side of the road. Please if anyone can give this precious puppy a good life it would mean so much. This is heartbreaking 💔 I fell in love with this dog but I cant get kicked out of my apartment. Thank you so much in advance.
