Story
I bought her from a breeder when she was 8 weeks old and she is 9 months today. She loves to run around and would do best with other dogs and a big yard. She is house trained and crate trained. She loves to chew on bones/toys and play. She loves snuggling, snoozing and snoring. She is very sweet and does not bark much. I have only heard her bark a few times. She is a good girl and would do really well on a farm or somewhere that has plenty of room for her to run around.

Story
Sweet, cuddly, and full of energy. She is 3 years old and beautiful. She is great with kids however due to her size and energy level older kids are recommended. She can easy chill out on the couch with you or go for 2 mile walk. She gets along great with other dogs, no experience with any other animals though. She would require a fence or leash while outdoors as she is still working on recall. She has anxiety to fireworks but with trazadone handles it well. She does have some Resource guarding so a separate feeding area is best.

Hi, Meet Taizoo, my dog. He is one year old. Very friendly and good with humans and animals both. Sweet little boy. I’m moving back to my home country due to my health issues and I cannot afford to pay to take him with me since it cost more than 10000 to take him back with me. I m looking for a loving home who will love him and keep him safe. Thank you

I'm Kenny, a 3-year-old fawn-colored mixed breed boy, and I'm ready to find my forever home! 🐕 At 55 pounds, I'm a solid, strapping guy who's already neutered and ready to settle in with you. I'm a gentle soul with a loyal heart and a sharp mind — I'm the kind of dog who'll stick by your side through thick and thin. Come visit me at the shelter and let's see if we're a perfect match! ❤️
