Lumberton, MS
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Found her five or six years ago, wandering , lost on backroad near my home. I brought her with me and she has been here since then. Big Gurl had puppies 3.5 years ago. Father is part Pitt and Lab. I have two female siblings also living with me. My aim is to find Big Gurl an inside home with more human contact than I can give her. I can't bring her inside due to two small dogs. The outside accommodations are very nice but she needs more attention overall. She is a little rough with the two sibling females and probably needs to be a single pet for an adult. Well behaved at vet visits. No growling at other dogs. Loves the people in the waitng room and the staff.loves the FedEx driver who brings her treats. There wasn't an objective for my true reason listed in the drop down. I put relocating just to continue.Actually, she needs an inside home and more attention. Another reason is, I am her only provider and a senior person. She needs a good home with assurance of continued care. Thank you

Story
I rescued this sweet dog from work. I work in an industrial plant and she showed up at Christmas and hung out for several weeks. I didn't realize she was pregnant at the time but she delivered 8 beautiful pups. I have found them homes but still need to find Momma a good home. The vet says Hazel is not much over a year old. She is up to date on all her shots and was recently spayed. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle. She is young and likes to play. Unfortunately my 2 other dogs are older and small and don't want to play. She loves to play with the dogs across the street so she would do well with other dogs that like to play. She loves her toys and non agressive and non destructive. My wife is older and has Metal and Physical dissabilities and unfortunately Hazel is more than she can deal with at this young age. She loves kids and would make a great family pet. She does like to chase my cat. She has never hurt the cat but she just can't help herself if the cat starts ru

Uno was found wandering the streets with his momma and brother. They county was going to “dispose” of them when North Star Rescue stepped in to save them. He is sooooo well behaved. He doesn’t jump and always sits when being pet. Loves his toys and is able to be off leash. This big ball of love is friends with dogs of all breeds, cats and kids. He is also potty trained and loves being outdoors.

Even though this goofy boy sometimes acts like a dumb jock , he picks up on learning quickly. Clyde is super sweet, with moderate energy. He would make a family that loves hiking, camping or any out doors activity a really great pet.

Story
Author & Cowboy 7 month old basset hounds Must be adopted together. ( they love each other) ❤️ . These are two of the sweetest boys. They love to play and follow their person around. Both get along with other dogs and cats. Bassets are notorious for chasing smells and wondering off, so if you’re looking to adopt this pair of cuteness you MUST have a fenced in yard or underground fencing to keep them safe and secure. These dogs are loud, so if you’re looking for quiet these aren’t for you. These pups love the outdoors and have always had free range of their yard. They are kenneled at night. They aren’t house broken. These two enjoy sitting and even crawling into your lap when our playing, they like to have the ball tossed to them as well. When outside doing laps they will follow me until I’m finished or until something else catches their attention! 😂
