Story
Rocky is sweet, but honestly, none of us want to take care of him enough and we don’t have a fenced in yard. He’s 2 1/2. We’ve had him since 4 months old. He’s healthy. The main issue is that he pulls when we walk him and our six-year-old isn’t big enough to hold him back if he sees a rabbit. He is cuddly and protective and playful.

Story
Meet Nyla! She is a sweet, shy, gentle girl who survived a very rough start. Nyla came from a severely neglected litter and was rescued malnourished, scared, and very weak. Today she is calm, intelligent, and loving once she feels safe. She softly licks your hand, enjoys head scratches, and gets along well with other dogs. She loves to sniff and explore and would thrive with a family who enjoys walks or outdoor time. Because of early food scarcity, she may show light resource guarding (only gentle growls). She can also jump a 4-ft fence, so she must be on leash outdoors unless in a secure dog park or designated off-leash area. Nyla is not high energy but needs more attention, structure, and exercise than my parents can provide. She is still growing and has so much potential. Requirements: reference check, vet verification, and home check. Nyla deserves a patient, loving forever home.

Story
Dixie is a on the go dog. She loves ride in cars. She is pretty much likes outdoors but when it’s hot outside, she loves the inside better. She is a very vocal dog. She doesn’t bark much but she does howl to talk to you. She has two nicknames Pickens and hips because when she walks her little tissue jiggles, she’s great with my kids she wants to play with cats, but cats don’t like to play with her. She’s very curious to other animals she does sit on command and lays on command. She will give Paul when she wants to treat but she’s a very finicky dog when it comes to food she loves salmon and chicken and her best treat is peanut butter and cheese, so I’m just looking for someone who can give her the time and that I can’t give her where she can live the rest of her days out and bee happy I will miss her much but I can no longer take care of her anymore so hopefully someone can give her a loving home whereshe can get the exercise she needs and the time well spent.

Pitsky Labrador Retriever

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Stormy will be 9 years old in December. She is a beautiful tan color and weighs 60 lb. She is house and crate trained. She warms up very nicely to adult visitors. I'm not sure how she is with children except for watching them through her fence. She does not bark at them. She is not afraid of fireworks or sirens. She has a fenced in yard that she roams freely and loves to lay out in the sun. She does not dig or jump at the fence. She is definitely a cuddler and loves to have her belly petted. At 9 years old, she is pretty laid-back, loyal, and well behaved.

Labrador Retriever Boxer

Male, Adult

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Leroy was found abandoned on a farm in Hebron. He's healthy now and needs a forever home. We got him to a vet and nursed him back to health. Our vet said he's between 2 and 4 years old. He weighs 55 pounds; he's a big baby who loves company. Leroy is smart, learns quickly, and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. We have seen no signs of aggression at all. He is sad if we leave him alone, probably afraid of being abandoned again. We're working with him to stop jumping up. Other than that, he has zero bad habits. He loves to play and would make a wonderful companion or family pet. Leroy is a very sweet and handsome boy.
