Story
Henny likes all the attention on her and gets jealous easily. She is super lovable and will sit on a lap and give hugs. She loves to cuddle, she gets really excited when she sees other dogs, cats and her favorite are squirrels. She is strong and might try to chase ine of these animals so a tight grip and some muscle is needed to hold her back. She is very smart and learned magic tricks when she was a puppy however other command have been challenging including potty time so a little bit of love and training could make her the perfect companion although she is just perfect already.!

Hi I'm River and I am a happy girl. My foster mom says I'm a very good girl. I love cuddles and sleeping in really funny positions.

I sleep all night in my kennel and when mom takes me outside I go potty. I love chasing a tennis ball too.

Story
Odin is about 70 pounds, crate and potty trained and very rarely has accidents in the house. He is super active, likes to play fetch and tug of war. He likes kids but due to his size and exuberance, he may do better with bigger kids. He also is mouthy when playing and jumps up. He thinks he is a lap dog and will definitely try to sit and lay on you. He has been to doggy daycare and gets along fine with the dogs and people there. He is anxious around new people and anytime he meets someone new he barks at them. He also gets anxious at the vet.  He is very sweet with his people but wary of others. He will do great with a family that is active and can take him on long walks. He is also very smart and trainable. He’s definitely food motivated. He can sit, stay, lay down and roll over.    Odin’s adoption fee is $100.00 which includes all shots, neuter, microchip and 1 month of heartworm preventative.

Story
Meet Fetch, he is a sweet little guy, said to be a Beafle / American Eskimo per the DNA results.   He was originally in a home with many, many dogs and under socialized with people. because of his previous surroundings, he is shy at first and barks, but once you grab a ball to play fetch or sit down to let him sniff and then request pets, he will be your best friend for life!!    Fetch is super playful, loves fetch, just learned that he is enjoying the pond to cool off with the other dogs.      He  is great in his crate, he goes right in (with a treat or his ball). He has done well with the six other dogs in the foster home, but we did take time to slowly integrate, as you know one little guy compared to six new dogs can be overwhelming…..especially after coming from a hoarding house. Consider bringing Fetch into your life; he promises to fill it with joy and endless games of fetch and will look   for belly rubs     Fetch's adoption fee is $200.00 which includes all shots, neuter, microchip and 1 month of heartworm preventative.
