Her birthday is December 12 2024 she was rescued by this agency and I later adopted her when she was just 8 weeks old. She enjoys being outside, loves bones and chew toys although they never last. And hearing she is a good girl.

Story
Bexley is a six year-old female purebred, short legged Jack Russell terrier. She has a companion Douglas, who is a 10 year-old half beagle half Jack Russell. They have been together since Bexley came to the house when she was eight weeks old. It would be great if they could be adopted together. Bexley loves to go on walks and chase squirrels. She is both friendly and timid, while Douglas is more laid-back and food motivated. Both dogs are healthy and up-to-date on shots. If you’re interested, please contact me.

Story
9 year old female Black Lab Mix named Willow we are looking to rehome. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old and she has been loved all of her life. Unfortunately, with our growing family we are having a hard time finding time for her and want her to have the best life for her remaining years. We have a 2 year old daughter and a new born boy now. She hasn't been a issue around either but she does like her space. Our 2 year has a hard time giving her the space she wants and I fear she may end up biting her. I don't believe she ever would, but she has shown signs that she is uncomfortable. Willow is microchipped and has had all vaccines up until this last year. She gets simparica trio each month and has never had any health issues other than an eye infection that was resolved when she was around 3.
