This sweet energetic but couch potato pup is Ash and he is a bully breed. He just turned 1 year old on June 3rd. Ash is a gentle giant but very goofy and still thinks he's a lap dog. We are no longer able to care for him and are looking for a loving and forever home for Ash. If you have any questions please submit your application and we will be happy to answer them.

Story
Penny will be 2 in October. She is a great dog. She's great with kids, dogs, and cats. She has some separation anxiety and is kennel trained. I got her from a friend who recently passed away so this has been a very hard decision, but it is what is best for my family at the time. She needs someone who has time to play and run. She is a beautiful, smart, sweet girl and deserves more than I am able to give her.

Story
Tina Mae Turner is a petite 8-month-old female Terrier mix with a big heart and a playful, loving personality. We took her from a neighbor after learning that her littermates were bullying her and attacking her near food. She needed safety and gentle care, and she has blossomed into a sweet, lively little dog who loves attention, companionship, and play. Tina is smart, sensitive, spunky, loving, and very social. She would thrive in a stable home where she can have a secure fenced yard and another friendly young dog to play with and learn from. Tina would be a wonderful match. The reason we are looking for a new home is NOT because of her personality. Tina has had severe reactions to tick bites since spring arrived, and our rural property has woods and creeks, with heavy tick exposure that we can’t eliminate. She needs a low-tick environment with a manicured, fenced yard. Tina deserves a compassionate, attentive home where she can feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Can send videos!
