Story
🎅🎁 Hello everyone, I am Prancer! 🎁🎅 My foster mom says I am the most laid back out of all of my brothers and sisters... While I do love running with the pack, I am most happy snuggled up in a soft bed, or in a cozy lap. I really love calm days, and would be perfect (or PAWfect) in a home where I can chill. I am working on my crate training and potty training right now, and I am doing a great job! My current foster has other dogs, cats, and kids over 5, and I am doing great with all of them too! All I want for Christmas is a home of my own! Could that be your home?!

I would love a home that is fun, maybe a little loud, and chaotic would even be fine for a fun loving fella like me!

Story
🌟 Meet Butch! 🌟 An approximately 5 year old Boxer/American Bulldog mix. Who is fully vetted. Below is some abbreviated details from his foster mom who is also a dog trainer ☺️ Butch is a sweet, goofy boy who’s settling beautifully into his foster home. He hopped right into the car on day one and is already working on his leash manners. He starts out energetic but quickly relaxes and walks calmly. He’s friendly and curious on walks no barking or pulling. At home, Butch took to the crate right away and even sleeps through the night in it. He loves food, shows no resource guarding, and has been friendly with everyone he’s met. Dog intros in his foster home are starting slow, but so far he’s been respectful and calm. He has been introduced to ither dogs and cats & did very well. But his foster mom will make sure of this. Butch ended up at the shelter as a stray with a companion. No one ever came to claim him, and his buddy was adopted. Leaving Butch to be alone in the shelter. Butch does have a growth on his leg, that has been evaluated by our veterinarian, it is not cancerous & is just an overgrown skin tag. He is a happy & healthy boy. He has great personality and is on track to be an amazing, well-mannered family dog.

Story
Nala has been a great dog that is loving, friendly, and very kind towards others. She has never shown any signs of aggression. She was raised around kids since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. She also has been around our family cat and we have never had any issues with that. We would love to keep her but unfortunately due to hardship we are forced to move out of state and are going to be moving in with family members who do not have the capacity to take on a large dog, its going to be a tight space with 2 families as is. We really would just love to see Nala go to a loving and caring family that will continue to love her as much as we have.
