Story
Ben & Jerry here to be your sweet treat dessert!Just like the ice cream, you can never have too much of these boys either. Ben and Jerry came in as strays together. Both are estimated to be 11 months old, are similar looking, and same size - so although there is no proof, we believe that they are brothers. With that being said, they do not need to be adopted together. Ben and Jerry would be plenty happy separated as long as they know their brother also has a safe and happy home.They do well with each other and other dogs from what we have seen so far. We have not yet tested them with cats, but if an interested application had cats we certainly will check that before sending them home. These boy are both between 55 and 60 pounds. They are more of a high energy dog, so they certainly would like a dog or human who wants to play with them. Don't let the high energy scare you, it just means there is more fun to be had!

Story
Well Hello it's me... 🍑 Peach !Peaches...Sweet peach....Peachy pie.....Sweet potato peach parfait.....One friend even calls me Peach crush. I'm all that AND more. I tell you -once you meet me- you'll be crushing on me for sure. I'm a delight.I hear it's my season. 🍑I mean really -when is it NOT peach season?!🍑🧡They say I should tell you about myself and how I came to be miss HSWC peach blossom queen. Well I seem to have gotten myself into a real peach of a situation and not the good sweet kind. I found myself out wandering and then was brought here to this boarding school for exceptional individuals. Some of these yappers are real show offs. I'm not into all that bragging. But I'm pretty popular. I guess that why I was voted queen. 👑I come bouncing out like -"hey what's going on." Are you a friend or not? Then I figure out who's who and what my game is. I figure things out pretty quickly.🍑I'm neat in my kennel.🍑Sweet peach personality.🍑Beautiful appearance, shiny coat with colorful markings. 🍑I'm figuring out who I want to play with: Easy and chill, no problem, small and playful ok. 🍑I'm Young and highly training motivated and the best part is - I'm just grown past that high maintenance, needy puppy stage! 🍑I have medium energy -just right for outdoor adventures. 🍑I'm an active peach, but once exercise is done I love cuddles and affection. 🍑I wait patiently in my kennel for attention.🍑I'm working on building my confidence so I can be my best self. 🍑Peach perfect shape-47 pint sized pounds! 🟢I like people. Friendly and fun.🟡I may run to check out new things but I lack confidence when I get there.🟡Cautious with cats. I'm Unsure if they can be trusted as friend or foe. Avoid them Is my plan.I'm looking for my own orchard and a nice family that will be there for me. You are formally invited to attend our peach festival and meet me so our friendship adventures can begin!🧡🍑🧡🍑🧡🍑🧡🍑🧡 Primary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 51.2 Age: 2yrs 6mths 2wks

Story
Gobble Gobble Gobble Thanksgiving is here and I am the main attraction!Hi I'm Gobbles! They said I was a silly boy so I needed a silly name. I am a one year old, pitty mix, who is currently 43 pounds. Which makes me the perfect medium size dog for any family. Speaking of family, we don't know about my past family, because I came in as a stray. However, I currently like dogs, cats, kids, and all humans! So I would be happy to join any family!I know Thanksgiving is soon, so I might not be able to be your Turkey-pal but the other holidays are right around the corner and I was told you can have some Gobbles Turkey any time!Come meet me, I can't wait to meet you!

At just 3 months old, this Lab/Pitty mix is already stealing hearts faster than the Grinch stole presents. Don't worry though-Baby Bricky's only robbing you of personal space and emotional stability via excessive cuteness. • Crate trained: He sleeps like Cindy Lou Who on Christmas Eve-peaceful, adorable, zero complaints. • Dog friendly: LOVES other pups and is always down for a playdate. • Cat reactions: Gives them "...and you are??" side-eye but politely moves on. Drama-free king. • Potty training: Still learning! But c'mon... he's basically a toddler with paws. • Toy enthusiast: Runs around joyfully like he just stole the roast beast. • Belly-up sleeper: ACTUALLY REQUESTS rubs both conscious and unconscious. Zero boundaries. 10/10 respect that energy.If you're looking for a furry little Whoville addition this holiday season, meet Baby Bricky-because some pets don't just grow hearts three sizes... they make yours do it too.  Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 15.2 Age: 0yrs 3mths 1wks
