Story
This is Buddy, he is the sweetest, smartest dog i’ve ever met he loves humans. If you already have a pet, (specifically dog or cat) that’s calm and not dominant, i think Buddy would do amazing with a dog or cat like that. He does not do well with dominate or high energy. With his behavior, it seems like he has had rough past experiences with dogs and abuse from old owners. i’ve seen him play non aggressively and i’ve seen him be aggressive towards dogs who are dominant, his aggression seems to be out of fear a little bit- almost as if he feels a constant need to protect himself. We are completely unaware of his past. HE IS FOOD AGGRESSIVE AND TOY AGGRESIVE TOWARDS PETS!With correct training and proper attention i’m sure he can thrive with whoever decides to be his forever home. I’d be glad to help you with it too. I know for a fact he is still very EASILY teachable because we’ve taught him new things already, it took him a day! He also adapts very well and quickly to new environments.

Loves attention. Loves to run. Little wild. Is a really good dog. Just needs worked with. Knows some commands. I really don’t want to rehome him, as he is my baby, but he deserves the best and my small yard is not enough room for him to run. I would love updates and pictures on him.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Loves to run. Farm or large yard would be beneficial but not necessary. Fenced in would be beneficial. As she’s an escape artist. She’s a BFG. Big friendly giant. She loves being a lap dog if she gets away with it. I would love updates on her, pictures, whatever. To know how she’s doing. I really don’t want to rehome her, as she is my baby, but she deserves the best and my small yard is not enough room for her. Otherwise she’s pretty easy going.

Story
Meet Trudy! I am full of life and energy. Pointers are known for their wonderful use of their nose to find birds and prey. I love to use my nose so games of hiding food or scented objects would be great fun. I am learning some basic skills to start obedience training and already know how to sit. Having an experienced owner that understands my breed would best. Stop in soon to meet me. I am micro chipped just like all my HPC friends.

Meet Bella! I am a happy Labrador that is full of life. I would love a family that is willing to spend time with me and train me as I am eager to learn. Labradors are known for the loyalty to family.
