Story
Meet Bruce! Bruce is around 4 years old and is a pit/boxer mix. This playful and energetic pup is completely house trained—never has an accident! He’s also a zoomies expert, and loves to spend his time sprinting outside. Bruce was surrendered with another dog, but we are unsure how he does with cats and he would prefer a home without young kids. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, reliable companion, Bruce is ready to make your home his own!

Story
Athena is a 2.5-year-old, 45-pound mix. Athena was at the Clinton County Animal Shelter when we adopted her in April. She rides well in cars, can be left on her own in the house, is house trained, and knows several commands including clicker training. She loves a fenced yard to run around in and goes for walks. She is fine being bathed, brushed, and getting nail trims. Athena is very affectionate once she gets to know you. She does extremely well with females and starts a bit leery of males. We worked with a trainer to help her get over her fear of males. Unfortunately, she is still afraid of the two males in our home, though training has greatly reduced this. Since being in our home, she has gotten used to males visiting. Ideally, Athena would live with in a home with females.

Story
Sophie is a super sweet and cuddly 80 lb dog who loves people but also enjoys spending time independently. While she may tolerate calm, submissive dogs, she tends to be dominant and is generally not well suited for multi-dog households. She is about 4.5 years old. She interacts very well with people of all ages and is friendly with children, though she may become overexcited and jump when greeting. Sophie is fully house trained and crate trained. She does not show food aggression. Sophie has a strong prey drive and will chase small animals. Her behavior with cats is unknown. She is a loving, energetic dog who thrives on human companionship and structure, but requires supervision and a home that can manage her energy. Sophie is up to date on all vaccinations and preventatives.
