Story
Our well trained, loving, playful Klifford needs a home that will have the time and space to give him the extra love and attention Great Danes require. We have young kids and busy work schedules that sadly don’t allow us to give him the attention he deserves. Saying goodbye to him will be extremely hard, but for his quality of life, we know it’s best. He will be the best addition to any family!

Meet These Sweet Pups — Ready for Their Forever Home! You haven’t experienced unconditional puppy love until you’ve met these little ones — playful, gentle, and full of heart, just waiting for someone to love them. These puppies are currently living in a foster home, and despite a rough start to life, they’ve shown nothing but sweetness, resilience, and hope. Each one is spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. They are social, friendly dogs who do well with other dogs and people — the kind that instantly melts into your lap and makes themselves at home. While shy at first, theyu warm up quickly and once they trust you, they’re snuggle-bugs, playful pals, and loyal companions all in one. These pups deserve a loving, patient, and caring home that will give them a second chance — and fill them with all the belly rubs, treats, walks, and cuddles they deserve. The adoption fee is $450. If you think you could be the perfect match, please fill out an application at www.secondleashonlife.org. Tani – 9-Week-Old Female (Border Collie/Boxer Mix)Tani is a gentle sweetheart with a soft, loving nature. She adores being held, melts into your arms, and is happiest close to her humans. She’s playful but calm, friendly with other dogs, and has an easygoing personality.Tani is perfect for someone wanting a tender, affectionate companion who loves to be loved. ##2602364##

Story
Marilyn is a sweet scruffy 3-year-old female terrier mix!  Marilyn and Mason were rescued from the shelter together, and at this time, they appear to be bonded. We are ideally looking for a home who could adopt both of them together (ask about our "2-for-1" adoption process). Marilyn is more shy and timid, whereas Mason is more bouncy and outgoing. They both play well with other dogs, but can both be a little shy around humans. Mason is more quick to warm up to people than Marilyn is, but Mason really helps Marilyn come out of her shell and helps her gain her confidence.  Professional photos by Kelsey Swann Photography - https://kelseyswannphotography.shootproof.com/ ##2600221##
