Story
We adopted Mary last November. She was very timid but got along well with our farm. When family came over with their dog something changed. Mary will become very aggressive near other dogs now. She does not want to play with our beagle anymore and is becoming defensive and territorial. 4 times now in 2 months she attacked the beagle. Around people she is an absolute charm. She rolls over for rubs. She will cuddle. Clipping nails and bathing is easy. Mary is a beautiful dog unless there are other dogs nearby. The prior owner gave us access to Mary's past veterinary visits. She did have a major stomach surgery so we feed her 2 separate ti.es a day and limit water intake so she does not over drink. She loves our farm and spends most of her time exploring the yard.

Story
Sumo is a sweet little guy with a big heart. He is approx. 10 months old and weighs 35 lbs. Sumo is fun size, with a full size personality. This adorable pup is all about play and fun. Sumo plays well with other dogs, cats are unknown. He may be frightened by very small children, so a home with older kids may be best for him. He has his puppy vaccinations done. Upon adoption, he will be microchipped to his new owner. And he will come with a neuter certificate to be used locally that covers the cost.

Story
Who’s looking for a super cute bestie? Because this little dude is ready to clock in for the position. Monkey is the kind of pup who believes every dog he meets is simply a friend he hasn’t played with yet. He’s bouncy, playful, and full of happy wiggles, but he’s also a champion cuddler once the zoomies are out of his system. Basically, he’s the whole package—fun, affectionate, and at that perfect age where he’s ready to grow up with his very own person. Monkey is healthy, happy, and ready to start his next adventure. His vaccinations are up to date and he’s been wormed. When he heads home with his new family, he’ll also be microchipped and registered, plus he’ll come with a neuter certificate to be used locally that covers the cost. All that’s missing is the human who realizes their life could use a little more tail wagging and laughter. Fill out an application today and come meet the little guy who might just steal your heart. 🐾

Hi, I'm Sandy, a 10-month-old Australian Shepherd mix and just a gorgeous girl. 🐕 I'm already housetrained and smart as a whip, which means I'm ready to learn and grow alongside my new family. I'm affectionate, friendly, and get along great with other dogs. I am a gentle little soul who just wants to see what's up. I'd be happy to follow you around as you go about your day or I am happy to just hang out with my favorite toy. At just 26 lbs, I'm the perfect medium-sized companion for active families. Come meet me and let's start our adventure together! ✨
