Story
We adopted Nelly in December of 2023 and she’s about 2 years old now. She is a big, beautiful girl with a lot of energy and a lot of love to give. She’s also very strong willed, smart, and needs constructive ways to channel that intelligence. She’s very capable and quick to learn commands (already knows a few) and is food motivated. She will need an experienced owner who is familiar with the breed and can give her adequate attention, exercise, and regular grooming. She could benefit from some professional training and she needs works with walking on a leash. She is house broken and kennel trained. She loves to run free any chance she gets so a fenced in yard is a must (she hasn’t jumped a standard height fence with us). She does well with young kids, not tested with cats, and would love another doggie companion. Nelly comes with an extra large kennel and many other supplies.

Story
I got cobra from a family friend about 2 years ago. I am not able to bring him with me whenever I move so I am looking for a dog loving family. He loves to play with other dogs although I’m not sure about cats, because I do not own one. He loves the outdoors and car rides. He loves to get cuddles all the time.

Pull the Lever! WRONG LEVER!" Much like the frustration of Yzma from Emperor's New Groove, we can't understand why Kuzco isn't adopted yet. This 11-month-old, 70-pound pup is fully potty trained and has lived in a home his entire life. He's ready to find his new groove and bring joy to his forever family. Kuzco is good with dogs and kids. Could you help Kuzco find his new groove and take him home today? Kuzco is fully healthy and up to date on his vaccines. His adoption fee is currently $175, and we have adoption specials monthly; be sure to check in with us at info@mehs.org to learn of any specials!
