Story
Copper is a very good and well mannered dog. I just do not have the time anymore with how much I work to give him the attention that he deserves as well as I live in condo and he needs a yard to run around. He is absolutely great with all people, including children and other animals such as cats/dogs. He listens very well, potty trained, and crate trained as much as he would love to sleep with you. I truly just want him to go to a good and loving home to someone that would take care of him.

Ollie is a sweet, loving 6-year-old Blue Heeler mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s loyal, affectionate, a great listener, and loves being around people. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and children. He’s also quite the little chatterbox and loves to let everyone know what’s going on! Ollie deserves a loving home where he can be someone’s best friend and enjoy many more happy years together.

Story
🐾 Meet Savannah! 🐾 At just 4 months old, Savannah is ready to find the loving forever home she deserves! This sweet mixed-breed girl found herself at a local shelter after being dropped off, but her story doesn't end there. She was given a second chance when a rescue brought her into their care. Savannah is a playful, happy puppy who loves her toys and enjoys making new friends. We suspect she may have some hound in her mix, as she is very food motivated! Treats are definitely the way to her heart, which should make training a fun and rewarding experience. She does well with other dogs and kids, making her a wonderful addition to a family looking for a fun-loving new companion. She’s already off to a great start! Savannah is crate trained and is working hard on her potty training. She is also spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and microchipped. Now all Savannah needs is a family to call her own! Could that be you? ❤️ If you're looking for a sweet puppy to fill your home with love, laughter, and plenty of playtime, Savannah may be your perfect match!
