Story
Lydia is still on the hunt for a perfect home. Very high energy, needs to be an only pet, not good with other dogs or cats (which is why she is needing a new home). Sweet girl, loves people, would need a fenced in yard as she will run and run. 2 years old and spayed. I worry about a home with small children as she has a high prey drive. Asking a small rehoming/adoption fee as I want to insure she goes to a good home. She's a good girl, just not suited for our home as we already had dogs and cats, and now and infant and I dont want her set up for failure. She was bottle fed by me from a week old so she is very loved just not the right fit, she will come with her crate blanket and toys. Message me for any more info!

Story
Hero is a big boy who loves to walk, eat treats and play. He is very smart and knows multiple commands like sit, place, lay down, shake, and speak. Hero has had some negative experiences with other dogs while on walks but gets along just fine with both cats and other dogs in the home. Because of his past experiences, Hero can be defensive with dogs he doesn't know. He is very trainable and with time this could be overcome. Reach out to schedule a meet up with Hero!

Story
Archie is a handsome friendly, happy fellow 14weeks old. He looks just like the old time RCA puppy advertisement ad. He has current puppy shots and been dewormed. A record is documenting this that goes with him. He is totally cage trained. Ask him to go into cage, he bounces right in. Is doing very well with his potty training. Use to going out into a fenced yard with doggie door. Plays well with other dogs. Been around cats and is super with all people. He is VERY smart and active. Archie would be a good jogging buddy or perhaps trained for agility course. Would love to share more about his character if interested. With 1/4 poodle in him, he shows no sign of shedding. His tail, cute cute, curls up on his back. He is my foster pup that I am falling in ❤️ with. He needs a home soon! 😊 For more info on adopting Archie, PLEASE call Kathy at 618 383 5253 or email katsresq@gmail.com.
