Story
Maverick is a 9-month-old red heeler mix with black mouth cur, born on January 4, 2024. Due to our limited space and time constraints, especially with another baby on the way, we need to find him a new home. We love Maverick but need to do what’s best for him. He’s an energetic dog who would thrive in a larger yard and maybe even some dog siblings to keep him entertained, though not required. He is crate trained, house trained, and gets along well with our cat, other dogs, and our 2-year-old. His shots are up to date and he was just neutered last month.

Story
Meet Chandra, the black and white beauty with a heart as big as her sweet, soulful eyes. Chandra and her sister Furbie have a heart-wrenching tale to tell, a story of resilience and the unwavering bond between siblings. These two pups came to us with a history of neglect, as their previous owners failed to adjust their collars as they grew, resulting in embedded collars causing deep, painful wounds. It's a heartbreaking reminder of the importance of responsible pet ownership. Despite the hardships they've faced, Chandra and Furbie remain incredibly loving and gentle. They adore making new friends, revel in playtime in the yard, and have an undeniable affinity for cuddles and treats. These young, medium-sized pups won't grow much bigger, making them the perfect companions for any loving home. Whether adopted together or separately, Chandra and Furbie are ready to embark on a new chapter filled with warmth and care. They can be adopted together or separately. Their journey to find a forever home may have been tough, but their spirits are unbroken, and they are deserving of the love and spoils that a committed family can provide. Come meet Chandra and Furbie today and be a part of their heartwarming journey towards a brighter future. By adopting me today you will save the life of two pets -- you'll save me and that will make room for the Shelter to rescue and save another pet.
