Story
​Meet an incredibly sweet, large terrier mix who is looking for a fresh start after being found abandoned. He is already neutered, fully house-trained, and has very low-energy—making him the ultimate laid-back companion. Because his history with other pets and kids is unknown, he is looking for a calm, mature, adults-only home where he can snooze the day away by your side. If you have room on your couch for a gentle giant, he’s ready to meet you!

Story
This is Sweetie. She was living with my in laws until their health declined and one passed away. Sweetie is use to be an only dog in the house and does better being the only dog. She is a jumper so a high fenced in yard would be best. She knows how to “place” (go to her bed). And walks ok on a leash. She is an awesome dog but with three of our own dogs - we can’t give her the attention and love she deserves. She really is an amazing dog, we want to make sure she goes to q family and not a kill shelter.We love her and want her to findnher forever home We are willing to also include sweeties crate and food bowl.

Story
Hi, I'm Bruno. I'm 4 years old and only had one owner. I would love to be adopted with my brother, Caesar. I do get a little anxious sometimes in new environments. Otherwise, I LOVE cuddles, getting and receiving hugs, playing tag, receiving fruits and veggies as treats and watching you around the house. I'm really an indoor dog but am used to a fenced yard. I like going for walks at the park and getting an occasional pup cup! Ready to cuddle up with me? Call or text my current human! She can answer all your questions.
