She’s s believed to be a rat terrier mix but it’s unsure. She’s very smart and learns very quickly but she is still a puppy so she’s quite energetic, therefore it is preferred she has a place to run around such as a backyard but not required. She’s about 10 months, and she knows sit and fetch. She’s house trained but still needs attention.

Story
I got Mimi from a flea market, she’s never had worms and she is the sweetest thing ever, she loves to play, eat, and cuddle. I wouldn’t say I really know if she’s potty trained completely. I got her July 5th, and since they never told me Mimi’s birthday, that’s her birthday for me now :) Mimi should be around 8 months. she is pretty small, I was told she is mixed with some type of husky? Mimi needs a home where she can play with others and be taken care of.

It breaks my heart to be considering Shiloh go. I am about to do a large cross country move and my life circumstances are not the best for her. She is the sweetest girl she was found under a house with her puppies then she went to the shelter where all of her puppies were rescued. She is the sweetest girl who just wants to cuddle and be loved. She is good with other dogs, people and quick learner.

Shadow is 3-4 year old bundle of joy! Unfortunately after a divorce he was left at my home. He is the most sweetest boy ever, get along with everyone and anything! LOVES other dogs. He is neutered and microchipped! He would be a great addition to anyone or any family. I work long hours with my job and cannot give him the love he needs! He also LOVES to be outdoors as he mainly out there with our outside dog who also hates the inside! He will cuddle up with you and give you all the kisses! He walks great on a leash and has never shown any signs of aggression!

Story
Shadow is a 3 year old spunky coon dog who would enjoy being your next hiking buddy! We only say an experience adopter because he can be a lot, he is really high energy but also such a sweetheart! He is also acclimated to be a family dog and does well with other animals as well. He is working on leash training as he's never been on a leash much before but doing great so far! He is a super high energy dog so small children will just need some direction as he does like to jump and doesn't like to be confined with hugging. He loves children though!! He is okay with the crate, but would honestly rather sleep outside. If he is in the crate and he barks, he has to use the potty! He is also house broken with no issues ever! Shadow would love to meet you and your family or farm anytime!!He does come with a crate, bowl, collar, leash, harness and a bark collar that he responds well with for barking and jumping.
