Story
Summer is just around the corner! Camping, fishing, hiking and all kinds of water activities are in the plans. Do you have everything you need? Well there is one more thing to check off your list...a little furry friend to hang out with you on all your adventures! Little miss Chevelle absolutely adores any kind of water sport you are in to. She would love to be your water companion. Being a Black Lab, it is second nature to this little sweet girl. Chevelle is a 9 month old pup that cant wait to have a person of her own to swim around with. She is 30 lbs now but probably wont get a whole lot bigger. She will be up to date on her vaccinations, wormed and microchipped. She will also bring along a spay certificate that covers the cost of her spay. But you will have to supply the floaties. Don't miss out on this little black beauty girl.

Mild mannered litter of 8. Great with young kids,very responsive to training and commands. Have their mother and pictures of father . I am a single mother and can not afford to keep the puppies with food and medical costs. Only asking rehoming fee to help make up the current costs of keeping everyone fed. They have great personalities and love playing with my 7 year old son. They have all been wormed.

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. 🐾

Robin

Australian Cattle Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Story
Robin is an approx. 2-year-old Heeler mix weighing 47 lbs, and she is textbook Heeler in all the best ways. She’s a little cautious when meeting new people — the thoughtful “let me check you out first” type — but once she decides you’re hers, game over. You don’t own a Heeler… they own you, and Robin takes that job very seriously. She is incredibly smart, loyal to her person, and happiest when she has a purpose. Walks, training, puzzles, learning new things — she loves having a job and using that brilliant brain of hers. This girl forms deep bonds and offers the kind of devotion that makes Heelers so special. Robin is housetrained, great with other dogs, and does well in social settings as long as canine friends respect her space. She’s tolerant of “in-your-face” dogs but would rather not be body-slammed with enthusiasm — manners matter to this lady. She’d likely do best with older kids who understand boundaries and dog etiquette. Cats are unknown. Robin is one of those quiet, hidden gems: not flashy at first glance, but once you earn her trust, she’s all heart, all loyalty, and all in. If you’re looking for a smart, steady companion who will choose you and mean it, Robin might just be your perfect match. 🐾 Robin will come with a rabies vaccination, worming, spay certificate and a microchip.
