Story
Sammy came to us after rescue by the local Sheriff's Department. Sammy was chained up 24/7 and the chain was so embedded in his neck it caused a very deep gash that took extensive surgery to correct. He was so starved he weighed less than half what he should weigh. The prior owners are in jail. Sammy has come a long way, but from the moment of rescue, has been the happiest of dogs. He's in a stage of arrested puppy time, making up for all those months/years chained without freedom to run. His wound has recovered and he is now neutered. He is still learning to EAT SLOWLY as he was so hungry that he wants to wolf down all food. We feed him in aKONG so he has to work to get it out. He needs a home with safety, and lots and lots of exercise. He is NOT cats tested and is quite strong so will need care. He will always need to be walke with a HARNESS in order to protect his neck. He is such fun though, any home will be fortunate to add him as a companion.

Story
Shelby is ready to embark on a new chapter in her life with a forever family. At almost 6 years old and weighing around 80 lbs, Shelby is the perfect companion for those seeking a loyal and affectionate furry friend. She is house and crate trained, making her an ideal addition to any home. While Shelby is very easy to direct, a cat-free environment would be best suited for her. Having lacked attention in her previous life, she cherishes every moment of affection she receives. Although she tends to pull on a lead due to excitement, a harness helps manage her enthusiasm when going outside. Recently, Shelby has truly begun to embrace the joys of life. She gets along well with other dogs, enjoying their company during playful runs. As Shelby eagerly awaits her forever family, you can make her wait more enjoyable by donating a gift from her wishlist below. Your contribution will bring joy to Shelby's days as she patiently waits for her perfect home. Shelby is up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives, spayed and microchipped, and truly LOVES EVERYONE!
