Meet Jake, a striking 2-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer mix with a white and brown spotted coat! 🐕 I'm neutered, energetic, and smart as a whip—ready to bring playful joy to an active home. I get along great with other dogs and cats, making me a wonderful fit for multi-pet families. I do best in a home without young children due to my size and playfulness, but if you're looking for an adventurous companion who loves to play, I'm your guy! My adoption fee is $200, and I can't wait to meet you. Apply at havenandheartrescue.org

Hi, I'm Bear, a striking 3-year-old black and white Mastiff mix who's ready to steal your heart! 🐾 I'm a big guy at 88 pounds with an even bigger personality—affectionate, loyal, and playful, with smarts to match. I'm already neutered and housetrained, so I'm set up for success in my forever home, and I do wonderfully with kids.
