Story
He does not have a dominant or aggressive bone in his body. He is fantastic with other dogs! He is NOT good with cats so if he goes to a home with cats, I recommend separating him from them. He could definitely use more training but otherwise, he is a sweet and playful boy.

We have had Roscoe since he was born basically. My sisters dog is his mother. He has been grown up around other animals but has become unpredictable and bitten 4 times. 3 dogs and a cat. He has been raised with children. Very playful but loves to nap and cuddle. I’d be happy to answer more specific questions if you have any.

Dante is a gentle giant of a dog.  He's young and has more legs than he knows what to do with; but one thing he does know is how to hop up onto a lap and beg for some love!   He's sweet, and rambunctious but also a bit timid and looks to his people when he's in an unfamiliar situation.  Dante was found running at large and just waiting for the right people to come so he can run into their hearts!  Come Dante and all of his friends on Saturday's and Sunday's from 2-4pm!January 19, 2025, 3:56 pm

Story
Josie is the sweetest little girl you could ask for.  She's very young; just over 1.  Her mother is Cinnamon.  We can't even begin to guess the breed; she's a slim built medium sized dog who just wants to cuddle and play.  She stayed in a foster for several weeks while she recovered from her spay and a toe amputation and in the foster home she lived with 2 other dogs and a few cats.  She was great with the dogs and timid with the cats.   She's got a wonderful temperment and is just a delightful young girl.  April 7, 2025, 3:03 pm

Story
Beautiful brindle Susie is a 2 year old gal who needs a good home! Requirements: 1) Must give frequent belly rubs 2) Must accept that Susie Q is likely to love you so much, she becomes a Velcro dog. She is dog selective. Must have meet n greet with your dog. Her adoption fee includes spay, microchip, vaccines, and heartworm free/on prevention. Come meet sweet Susie! She has been here for weeks with NO interest at all. She tends to get too excited when someone is coming to see her, and it can be a little off putting! But when she calms down, she's so, so, so, sooooo loving! In a different environment, she will be a totally different dog. She really needs out of here. Can you be her hero?November 3, 2024, 3:56 pm
