Story
Meet Beau, a big, beautiful heart wrapped in 100 lbs of gentleness. Born May 5, 2024, this 2 year old Bull Terrier Mix has grown into the sweetest little boy. He was lovingly raised by his 75 year old human, however her health has declined and is needing to find him a new home filled with the same love he's always known. Beau is wonderful with children and happily flops on top of the people he adores. He greets everyone with a smile, a wagging tail, and an eagerness to make a friend. He's neutered, fully vetted, housebroken, and in great health. In his younger months, Beau received professional training through Dog Training Elite, giving him a solid foundation of good manners. To make his transition even smoother, Beau is attending a 3week boot camp with Modern K9 Solutions. He's working hard and learning new skills, so his future family can feel assured they're welcoming an exceptional companion into their home. Beau is ready to bring joy, warmth, and his giant teddy bear heart to a family who will cherish him.

Story
Peanut was an 8 year old male stray we adopted in November who had heartworm. The facility we got him from covered the cost of the originaL round of medicine. Over the last few months, I have been forced to move from a home with a fenced in yard to a townhome. Household went from 6 to 1 and I am not home very often since the divorce I have gotten a few additional jobs. Found out yesterday the original treatment did not work and he needs another round that I cannot afford. Is very docile and friendly like a little old man but doesn’t like cats or other small animals.
