Story
Hi, I'm Beth but my foster parents call me Bunny. I am colored like a Rottie, with lots and lots of puppy energy, and barks like a hound dog. She is pottie trained and enjoys racing around the backyard playing keep-away with the rest of her pack; especially with crinkle and squeaky toys. Bunny enjoys being sung to using her name ("Every BUNNY loves some BUNNY sometime"). Bunny wants her forever home to have lots and lots of cuddles and lots of lap time. She expects to sleep next to, touching, her favorite human. In return she will guard and protect her new family from all dangers. ##2706756##

She is a Mini Schnauzer who came from the Monticello impound. She is microchipped & current on meds. Very polite, petite, and quiet little lady. Gets along well with other dogs and people. Potty training is a work in progress. Cuddles are a must in her forever home. Especially cheek to cheek cuddles. She is losing her hearing and vision due to her age, but would still love to spend her golden years with you!   ##2723601##

Meet Lexie! She is a happy, energetic 6-year-old Beagle mix weighing about 45 pounds. A very loyal dog that loves to follow you around the house and lay at your feet. Lexie's favorite activities include chasing balls or the flirt pole and going on walks and hikes. Needs an adult household without any children or cats. She gets anxious around small children and bit our toddler. Enjoys the company of other dogs in the home but is reactive to strange dogs when on leash. Lexie has an indomitable spirit and boundless happy energy!

Story
Mya was 1 year old when we adopted her in 2022. She’s a good Girl. We adopted her for our daughters. With one child heading off to college and one who is crazy busy all the time we just don’t have the time to give Mya the attention she deserves. Mya does just about anything for a treat. She knows how to sit, lay down, target, shake, and many other fun tricks. She is potty trained. She never has an accident inside even when our busy schedules neglect to let her out properly. She loves pets and people. She is great with our girls and loves to run around and play with her stuffy. She doesn’t jump on people or growl. She does bark occasionally but it’s a one time bark to let you know she needs to go potty. We love Mya and we just want to see her go to a good home who will love her as well. Somewhere with a fenced yard she can run and play. A home that will give her lots of love and attention. All the things she used to get here before our lives got so busy.
