Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This is Pinto, he is a social and friendly guy who loves his chewies, bones and stuffies. He is a car ride with with windows down kind of guy who could use a bit of help learning to be restrained on walks. He is crate trained an pretty chill being left alone for a few hours. He calls his kennel home and will go to his kennel when you tell him to "go home." Pinto is a big cuddle bug and lover, very smart and loves his kisses and hugs. He is a fan of watching westerns on TV and barking at the horses. He does well with older kids but isn't a fan of other dogs...maybe because he doesn't think he is one. Stop and meet this silly guy and maybe he will tell you what his favorite western is.

Story
Lilly loves to wear her pearls and is truly destined to be a pampered house hippo. She is an older pup who has some hip challenges so a soft bed is her preference to snoozing on the floor. When you walk up to her kennel, she may retreat to the back. Lilly is shy until she gets to know you...but once she does it is true friendship. This princess would prefer to be your only fur child so she gets all the love and attention she deserves. Can you make a girl's wishes come true?
