Story
Layla is a very sweet girl. She loves to go on rides and be any where you are. She will be your shadow. She loves to play and she is very energetic. We think shes about a 4 years old. She does NOT get along with small animals other than dogs. She has a very high prey drive and attacks cats, ducks, chickens, anything small she can go after. She has not been around large animals other than dogs so that part is unknown. Due to her high energy and drive she will need an experienced home. She does have basic commands down but needs someone with patience to keep on her and her manners. She loves kids. She is great with them and gentle. All he wants to do is run around with them and protect them.

Story
Nala is about 2.5 years old and was found abandoned at a fire station. She is a sweet, loving girl, who adores her chew toys. She is house trained and very well behaved. She is non-reactive and does very well with other dogs. When she was found, she was suffering from a severe ear infection. She has since recovered with no serious ear damage. She is on year round allergy medication called Apolquil and she is doing excellent on it. Nala will do well around children and with time, will be good around cats. Right now, she just does not know what to make of them. She will thrive in a home that can shower her with love and have her as an indoor dog.  ##1870210##

We rescued Skyler with her 3 pups, plus (total of 18) from a hoarding situation where because of not being responsible to get their dogs spayed or neutered resulted in over 38 dogs/puppies in need of an emergency Rescue! Skyler is a 2 yr. old Terrier mix weighing about 9 lbs.! She is house trained & uses the doggy door! She does have anxiety separation so when you leave her, she does scream! She loves my husband & wants to be with him always or at least in her sight! She plays well with other dogs & kids but really wants a stable committed furever home, preferably someone that stays home with her! She will dart if she gets a chance so needs harness & leash training! Groomer required! Her vaccines are up to date and she is microchipped, she will be spayed and get her rabies shot, before her adoption is completed. PRE-SCREENING, APPLICATION, VET REFERENCES & FENCED YARD REQUIRED.
