Story
Remmi is a three-year-old female pit bull looking for a home where she can receive the time, attention, and consistent care she deserves.She’s a shy, laid-back girl who spends much of her time lounging around. She has anxiety and would benefit from a patient owner who gives her time to feel comfortable and settle in. She does well with cats and other dogs, is house-trained, and goes to the bathroom outside without issues. She’s also very food-motivated and isn’t a picky eater. Remmi has received her vaccinations, but she is not spayed. This is a difficult decision. I work full time and have become responsible for her care without the support I expected. I don’t have the time or energy to meet her needs consistently, and I want to find someone who can give her the care and companionship she deserves.

Story
Sheamus is a seven year old plott hound. He is wonderful with other dogs and has lived with them almost his entire life. He is professionally trained, walks perfectly on a leash, and loves going for walks. He is also a huge cuddle bug who thrives around people. Sheamus is reliable when left alone for a full workday; while he was crate-trained as a young dog, he now lounges around the house comfortably without needing supervision. He also loves hanging outside in the backyard while occasionally playing fetch with his favorite tennis balls. He currently lives with a fenced in back yard but previously did just fine on a long lead before the fence was established. He travels well in the car and has never had any issues. Other than one ear infection when he was two he has never needed the vet for any reason other than regular well checks.

Camryn was found on a very busy highway scared and dodging cars. Despite being very under weight and in rough condition at intake he has been a sweeetheart since day one. He is slowly gaining weight and thriving while learning how to be a happy pup with all his other puppy friends in foster care. We are working on potty and crate training. His Grey eyes and blue features are captivating while his long uncoordinated legs are comical.

Story
~ All puppies require Mandatory Training upon adoption for obedience and socialization.<br/>~ I havent had a lot of life experience yet and need a patient family who can help me learn about the world. <br/><br/>This puppy sure is cute! But puppies are a lot of work - many are not housebroken and require positive training, exercise and socialization. Please ensure that you have the time and patience to dedicate to this youngster. Our adoption counselors are here to guide you through the process and find the best puppy for you and your family!
