Say hello to Keizer!  This handsome boy has a great smile and a personality too!  I looked through the photos his foster Mom sent me and I feel like he's going to get adopted pretty quickly, so let me give you the details.  Keizer is a 1-year-old 57-lb dog.   He is fully grown. He's so handsome and I had to make sure you saw his smiling face, but he has a great personality too.  He is easygoing and playful.  He is potty trained and is still leash training but weather has been delaying that. Before you run to fill out an application (pssst... above on the website under the "ADOPTION" tab) ....I want you to know that you'll probably have competition.  Oh, and also, he has 3 sisters - Lizzie, Aria still available too.  Just enough puppy in him still to be playful and ready to find his forever home!All our dogs will come to you spayed and fully vetted.Please fill out our adoption application form at https://www.4dogsfarmrescue.org/adoption ##1880597##

Story
My name is Bell and I’m a 2-year-old Lab/Pointer mix.  I’m pretty adorable, huh? That’s what my foster parents say. I weigh 55 pounds and am a super smart and very sweet gal. I am fully grown. I love meeting new people and am a major cuddle bug. I’m done very well with leash training and am a happy go lucky pup who will be a great addition to any loving family. I was rescued with my siblings that are also up for adoption. We were found outside of a mechanic shop. I would do best with a family that is prepared for the rewards and challenges of raising a young puppy.  I have been cat tested and approvedAll our dogs will come to you spayed and fully vetted.Adoption Fee:  $475.00You can fill out our adoption application form at https://www.4dogsfarmrescue.org/adoption ##1911846##
