Story
Meet Leo! Looking for a big-hearted, big-pawed best friend? Leo is your guy! At 3 years old and a solid 100 pounds of pure love, this handsome hunk is ready to steal your heart (and probably your spot on the couch!). Leo is full of kisses and adores being around his people. He’s a smart boy who listens well, is completely house-trained, and doesn’t even need a crate. He’s happiest going for car rides, soaking up adventures, or simply lounging by your side. Because of his size and his enthusiasm for life, Leo would do best in a home without other pets and with older kids who can handle his playful energy. Cats? Leo says “no thank you!” If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal, lovable, goofy best friend who will shower you with affection every single day—Leo is the one! Apply today to meet this gentle giant and make him part of your family!

Story
Lila is a 7 month old terrier mix of some sort. She is thin, long legged and scruffy. She recently came to us from a shelter in Kentucky. Lila was very shy when she came in but is opening up in her foster home! Her foster says "Lila is a goofy girl who loves to play. She does great with other dogs and would love to be in a home with a canine playmate. She is doing her best with potty training but will need lots of patience, support and understanding to be successful". She currently lives with large dogs, cats, and small children and does well with everyone! This sweet girl needs somewhere where she can open up and show her true self. She needs someone to understand that she is starting over and needs patience while she learns.  If you are viewing this pet's profile on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet,.please use the application link at the bottom of the profile to apply.
