Story
Bentley is a beautiful Boston terrier/lab mix from what I gather. He was a stray when I found him. I took him to the vet to get an initial once over just to make sure he was okay. He has updated vaccines only because he is so young so I doubt hehad any. He has had a few pee incidents inside only because he seems very young still. He is a sweet ball of energy and absolutely ADORES cuddles. If you want a companion that always follows you everywhere then Bentley is perfect for your home. I wanted to keep him but I am a college student that lives in student housing with a pet already. I have a cat and he seems skittish of my kitty but don’t get along because he is so playful! Nothing wrong with that of course, but I know he deserves to go to a home with more space than I have and one thats filled with as much love as I have for this cutie pie already. No adoption fee because I don;t think there should be a price for finding him a loving home that he so very much deserves.

Story
We rescued Maverick a few weeks ago from his previous situation where was chained outside. We brought him to the vet where he received all his vaccines and flea medicine. He had some skin problems from fleas but they have healed nicely. He has adjusted well to living inside and sleeping in his crate. Maverick loves to cuddle and give kisses (if he could crawl under your skin he would) and will rarely leave your side. We are so sad to see Maverick go but unfortunately due to his past he needs a home without cats. He gets along great with our other pit bull Cooper. Maverick will make a wonderful addition to the right family!

Story
Blitzen was rescued from the Hall County Animal Shelter in December (hence the name:) He has gotten along great with our other dog (male) but he is not doing well with my busy schedule. I do NOT want to take him back to the shelter so I I'm trying to find him a good home. He is crate trained now, but we went through a good 3 months of high anxiety before finally going in willingly. Blitzen likes to be with another dog or with his person and will bark if you're away from him too long. I am out most of the day and I feel horrible and having to be in a crate. He is in need of someone home more who wants to cuddle and play with him. He will need additional training. He picked up sit pretty good and does great when being fed. I would say no to having him around cats because he loves to lunge after squirrels when on the leash. Overall Blitzen is a super sweet, adorable, and spirited pup not afraid to speak his mind lol. Please come meet him and see why we rescued him from the shelter
