Story
This is Ace. He was my dads dog but my dad could no longer take care of him and we took him to find him a home. He is slightly aggressive with other dogs and I don't have access to any of his past medical records. But he's playful and goofy and he loves to run but he's not fully trained and doesnt have good recall. He also has accidents if hes under stress but otherwise he is potty trained.

Introducing Rory! This fluffy cloud of a dog is ready to find her new home! Rory came to us when her previous owners were no longer able to care for her. They did tell us that she is a "Pomsky" which is explains the fluff! Rory would would prefer a home with older children that can respect her space. She has done well with calmer dogs in the shelter setting, but would do best in a home without feline friends. Come meet this sweet girl today! Primary Color: White Weight: 37.6 Age: 7yrs 11mths 4wks
