Story
Lyanna is a happy girl with a goofy personality. She has brought so much joy and happiness to my life for the last 3 years. She is an absolute lover girl but has recently begun resource guarding against my oldest female pup and they are no longer able to get along. Ly is energetic, loving, and smart. She enjoys going on runs/walks and meeting new people. Ly would thrive in a home with no other pets and older children. Lyanna is food motivated and understands basic commands. She is potty trained and does great on walks. She is spayed and has no medical conditions or dietary restrictions.

Story
Hi… my name is Sadie💛 I don’t remember how I ended up alone in an orange field, but I remember how it felt to finally be safe. A kind family took me in, and for a little while, I got to feel what it’s like to have a home. I loved the little ones the most—I stayed close, watched over them, and made sure they were always okay. But something I didn’t understand happened… I wasn’t allowed to stay. My family tried so hard to keep me, hiding me from their land owner, he didn't like doggos like my self I guess. So they had to bring me here to a shelter. I was really scared… I didn’t want to be left again. I’m a good girl, I promise. I’m gentle, loving, and I already know things like “sit” and “paw.” I’m house-trained, and potty trained. I like to play, but I’m just as happy laying next to you, keeping you company. I’m especially good with babies and kids—I take that job very seriously. Here is My Youtube Playlist - https://tinyurl.com/Saving-SadyWe will Sponsor her and assist with cost!!!
