Story

Meet Oliver (Ollie) our sweet 15 year old minimature poodle/chinese crested mix who is looking for a loving home where he can spend his golden years getting all the attention and companionship he deserves.Ollie has been our beloved family dog for over 10 years. He is incredibly sweet, cuddly, affectionate, and loves being close to people. He definetely has a stubborn side and knows what he wants (sometimes won't take a walk, will lay on the floor), but that is just what makes Ollie, Ollie.At 15 years old, Ollie does have some special needs. He is blind and has high blood pressure, which is managed with two medications a day. He also is quite stubborn so does have incontenence issues (he wears a diaper to pee) and does sometimes have number 2 accidents in the house. Despite his age and some medical needs, he is doing well and is a happy older guy who just needs a little more care, patience, and supervision we are unable to give with full time in person work and older parents.

Story

Coco was a 6 month old when we rescued her from the Louisianna in Nov 2017. She's a wonderfully chill & easy going dog to have. She's intelligent & schmoochie, very low maintenance & very easy going, especially around people. She loves looking for squirrels & loves sunbathing & snuggling under blankets in bed with her owners. I'm looking for a home where she can be loved & fussed, walked regularly & really appreciated. She's in superb health with a totally clean bill of health as of just a few weeks ago. She's been very caringly looked after, including monthly Heartgard & NexGard, annual check-ups & shots. Everyone loves her.Why I selected No to Good with dogs: She is really excellent with some dogs - super playful & lovely & they are her best friends. She is indifferent to most dogs, & she is unfriendly towards some dogs too, which is. She's just picky who she likes or doesn't like. We've no had much interaction with cats so I'm assuming also not good, but again hard to say. Thanks

Story

Hereeeeeeeee`s Rocket!!!!! Rocket is a high energy man whose personality packs a big punch! He is a young, exuberant guy who is still learning things like basic manners and leash etiquette and would love an adopter who is excited to continue his positive reinforcement training journey. Rocket is looking to be the only pet at home and could potentially live with older kids who are comfortable with a large, rowdy dog and are excited to participate in his training.

MESSI

American Pit Bull Terrier

Story

Say hello to Messi! This striking young dog is hoping to find some adopters with a lifestyle just like his! In Messi`s dream home, he would get to live an active lifestyle where he has lots of time to run, play, and get out his energy! Messi will need some help learning the ropes when it comes to basic dog skills, but is a smart boy that loves to train. Messi has never met a human he doesn`t like, and also is a big fan of dogs! Messi is a rowdy and intense playmate, so his dog friends would have to match his vibe! Messi struggles seeing dogs on walks when he isn`t able to play and roughhouse with them, so would do best in an area that`s not very dog dense or that has quiet areas where he can get outside without distractions from other dogs. If Messi sounds up your alley, he may just be your guy!

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Large, 40 LBS, striking dog, grey coat, mixed - she is wonderful, but moderately high energy & smart (2 years~). Likely a better fit for a home with a yard and/or a moderately physically active household, read: will give her an outlet for her energy, she loves to run with other dogs, be with her people, and enrichment activities. Interested in placing her in a home with someone who understands dog behavior. She is shy and slow to warm. Off-leash: She is friendly with other dogs her size or smaller who are mellow, playful. Once she she warms up, she will run and play with other dogs. On-leash: She is skittish and has made a lot of progress, but a potential adopter needs to be aware that she has anxiety on the leash that is very different from her behavior off leash. For example, I will cross the street with her when I see a dog or person approaching us.note: She has gone through a couple obedience classes and is highly trainable, she knows recall, basic commands, sit/down
