Story
I rescued patch from the local shelter about 5 years ago. He was either 6 or 9 months old then. He has been with us since then. He is about 90 lbs and sometimes doesn’t know his own strength. He rarely barks except to tell you he is ready for a walk or you are not going fast enough to come pet him. He loves car rides and being the center of attention. He does shed a lot so he is better for a farm or somewhere he can be outside. He currently has a fenced in back yard with a doggie door leading into a pen inside a shop with AC

Story
Sweet, adventurous, and eager to learn- Hope is ready for her next big adventure!If you're looking for an active, loving companion who is always down for a road trip (especially for a Pup Cup!), Hope might just be your perfect match. Hope is a sweet, incredibly smart girl with a huge heart and very little to say-she's a wonderfully low-barking companion in the house! She thrives on engagement, loves to play, and settles in wonderfully once she knows what's expected of her.Hope has a joyful, high-energy enthusiasm for life! Because she can get overly excited during playtime, she'll do best in a home without small children or senior family members who might get knocked over by a playful bump. She isn't aggressive in the slightest-just a big, happy turn-on-the-jets kind of dog who is still learning to calibrate her excitement!Routine Care: Hope has a mild breathing condition that is easily managed with a simple pill given twice a day (morning and evening).Come and meet her for yourself!

Story
We got Pogo at a shelter when he was about 1 year old. He will be 5 years old this year. Pogo is a loving, intelligent, loyal, and sweet boy. Although he is on the more anxious side and startles easily at times he is a joy to be around. We trained him ourselves and he learned quickly. Pogo aims to be obedient. He loves to cuddle, play, and will follow you everywhere you go.
