Story
Hi there! I'm Mr. Bluey. Aren't I handsome?! Look at my gorgeous green eyes! I am only about a year old and my friends at Tails don't know too much about my past. However, I have shown them that I am likely crate and house trained as I keep my run clean and immediately go potty outside when I am taken out. I have also shown them that I have likely had some training as I will sit, lay down and paw for treats. I am a smart boy who is eager to please! I am also very friendly and will lean into you for pets. I especially enjoy butt scratches. I would love to meet you!

Story
Greetings! I'm Bubba Gump, a 2 year old Giant Schnauzer/Weimaraner mix, weighing in at 70lbs. I find myself in need of a home and I'm hoping you'll help. I'm a friendly guy, I'm house-trained and I don't tear up the furniture or destroy the curtains when left alone in the home. I'm also a smart guy, knowing several commands. I enjoy having my soft coat brushed and hanging outside and playing. Because I can be rather possessive about my food and treats, I probably shouldn't live with young kids. Stop by Tails and meet me today!
