Story
Bella is a sweet dog. She would be excellent with a young family with children, or an elderly individual or a couple. She loves to play, and enjoys her bone. She has a great demeanor and is a happy dog who brings happiness to the home. Bella has been raised with us since she was a puppy about 6 years ago, and is accustom to being the only pet in the home. She would do well to love the humans in her life, but would not enjoy sharing the "limelight" in a home that has other indoor pets. We are moving and not able to take her to the new home.

Story
Jaxx was love at first sight! He had the same coloring as our dog along with big paws!! DNA testing revealed he is a German Shepherd/American Bully mix and only 9% Border Collie as we were told. Jaxx has outgrown our family. He is a big, 90lb lug of a puppy (born May 2025). There is no such thing as personal space. Laughter is his invitation to smother you with kisses! He loves to play with our dog and cat too. Needs a home where he can freely enjoy the outdoors and an owner that can harness his strength!

Story
Memphis was picked up by animal control and not claimed. We can't figure out why as he is super friendly, smart and listens well. He loves toys, taking walks and running laps around the play yard. He likes treats but takes them only after getting some pets from the volunteers. He seems genuinely happy to meet people and solicits attention from visitors. He recently went to Tractor Supply and did amazing! He sat politely and let people pet him. He got right into the vehicle and loved to hang his head out the window. He did move about the vehicle so we recommend a doggie seatbelt when traveling. Memphis has shown some resource guarding behaviors towards other dogs when it comes to food so we recommend that he eats in a separate room at dinner time. He has also bristled up and lunged at other male dogs so we will require a meet-n-greet with any resident dogs to see if they are a match. Cats are also a no-no as he gets fixated on them and we believe he would chase them if they ran. It's possible that he's just curious but we aren't willing to risk it. Memphis is very clean in his kennel indicating that he could be potty trained. As with any dog, he will need time to learn his new person's schedule but we believe he will quickly adjust. Dogs like Memphis have a ton of hair and will need daily brushing and twice a year deshedding to keep his fur from matting. We are guessing him at 3.5 years old. If you're looking for an active, friendly, smart dog... Memphis is your guy!
