Glenn Dale is a sweet and loving big country boy. He likes nothing better than shaking your hand and getting some loving ear scratches. Those big amber eyes will steal your heart. He loves people and other dogs, especially if they are as easy-going as he is, and they want to play. This big lug is crate-trained and will happily spend the night on a soft bed inside his kennel. He is very devoted and will follow you like a shadow.

Lily loves meeting other dogs and has never shown aggression towards any animal or human. She loves love! She could easily be pet all day and does not get tired of cuddles, and could be in bed all day. Be warned: she snores!

Story
Rufio is a 1 year and 6 month old rescue Samoyed. I've had him since he was around 4 months old. He is a very smart, loyal dog. I have two other dogs, a male and female. Rufio gets along with my female incredibly well. He also does well with kids, as he loves my niece very much. When we first got Rufio, he did well with my male. Up until a few months ago, he started to get aggressive towards my male. Rufio also deals with anxiety, which could be a factor in this. Rufio needs a calm, loving environment. He would do well with another female dog. *Adoption fee is to insure Rufio gets an owner who is dedicated to taking care of him and his special needs*

Story
Gus is an almost 5 year old bulldog with a heart of gold. He’s a 70 lb cuddle bug who is gentle with my cat, great with people and kids. He likes to play with dogs at the dog park, but at daycare he tends to be a little fresh with other dogs. He does much better with female dogs one on one. He does have allergies and takes Apoquel daily which has helped tremendously. He has a lot of energy for a bully and loves to play fetch, and then will crash right on your lap at the end of the night. Unfortunately I am traveling a lot for work these days and my schedule is becoming too busy to keep up with his needs. It breaks my heart because he is such a good dog and I love him, but he ultimately just deserves someone who can spend more time with him.
