Story
Willow is a young adult female. She’s had a rocky start on life. As a puppy she severely abused and dumped at the local shelter. An elderly couple adopted her and absolutely adored her. When they eventually had to move in with family, the family would not allow the dog to come so she ended up in need of a home. Again. She’s an amazing girl who loves car rides, enjoys laying at your feet or snuggling. Will chase a ball and get the zoomies but also curls up on the couch to snooze! She loves chew bones and stuffed kongs! Food is the way to her heart. She biggest downfall is that she takes a bit to warm up to new people. But once she is comfortable she’s your best buddy! She will always be somewhat leery of strangers. She would make an excellent truckers companion! She is crate trained and house broken. She does get along with some other dogs but not all. She’s never been around cats.

This big goofy love bug is an absolute sweetheart who’s ready to steal your heart! Sid is the kind of pup who wants to be as close to his people as possible — cuddles are truly his favorite thing in the world. He does great with other dogs and enjoys making new doggy friends (a meet & greet is a must), and he can do well with some respectful cats too. Sid would thrive in a home with older children who can match his big puppy energy and playful spirit. He walks well on a leash, and has been working on basic commands while in our care. Fully vetted and ready for adoption, Sid is the type of dog who will fill your home with laughter, love, and nonstop snuggles.
