Summer is just around the corner! Camping, fishing, hiking and all kinds of water activities are in the plans. Do you have everything you need? Well there is one more thing to check off your list...a little furry friend to hang out with you on all your adventures! Little miss Chevelle absolutely adores any kind of water sport you are in to. She would love to be your water companion. Being a Black Lab, it is second nature to this little sweet girl. Chevelle is a 9 month old pup that cant wait to have a person of her own to swim around with. She is 30 lbs now but probably wont get a whole lot bigger. She will be up to date on her vaccinations, wormed and microchipped. She will also bring along a spay certificate that covers the cost of her spay. But you will have to supply the floaties. Don't miss out on this little black beauty girl.

Story
Who’s looking for a super cute bestie? Because this little dude is ready to clock in for the position. Monkey is the kind of pup who believes every dog he meets is simply a friend he hasn’t played with yet. He’s bouncy, playful, and full of happy wiggles, but he’s also a champion cuddler once the zoomies are out of his system. Basically, he’s the whole package—fun, affectionate, and at that perfect age where he’s ready to grow up with his very own person. Monkey is healthy, happy, and ready to start his next adventure. His vaccinations are up to date and he’s been wormed. When he heads home with his new family, he’ll also be microchipped and registered, plus he’ll come with a neuter certificate to be used locally that covers the cost. All that’s missing is the human who realizes their life could use a little more tail wagging and laughter. Fill out an application today and come meet the little guy who might just steal your heart. 🐾

Story
My husband was killed in a car accident on April 2, and since then I have been doing everything I can to hold things together for our family. For the past several weeks, I have been actively trying to rehome three 6 month old Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd dogs. I have posted in multiple Facebook groups, shared posts through friends, and reached out anywhere I could think of. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find placement for them. I am shocked no one has taken them. They have been with cows, chickens, goats, and they are wonderful with kids. They are great protecting livestock and keeping coyotes away. I am struggling mentally and emotionally with the sudden loss of my husband, and I am also trying to care for our 9-year-old son through this unimaginable time. The dogs are wonderful and no bad behaviors, I just need help. The fluffy white/brown and brown one are male. The female is short hair with brown ears.
