Story
You won't find a more handsome, intelligent or silly boy than Sidney. He is about 3.5 years old and weighs 84 lbs. Sidney is a very intelligent fellow, he learns quicky and is anxious to please. He will do well with a job and/or a lot of stimulation, long walks and hikes. He will do well with an experienced dog person. Sidney loves meeting new people. He has done well with large dogs he has met, however he is would not be good with small dogs or cats. Sidney does show some barrier reactivity, however, when the barrier is removed (whether it is a crate, fence or car window) he shows absolutely no issues. Because Sidney likes a lot of activity, he will need a securely fenced yard (must be a physical fence, not an electric or invisible system) He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and on monthly treatment for flea/ticks and heartworm prevention Sidney is currently located in the Middle TN area but transport is included in the adoption fee for approved adopter If you are interested in Sidney, email cox_ann@bellsouth.net for an application

Sean Connery is such a sweet boy. He is timid at first, but warms up very quickly. He loves attention and is very responsive. This handsome fellow is crate trained and house trained. He loves to run and play, so will need either a securely fenced yard, or an active person to take him for walks and hikes.

Story
MEET CARDI! Cardi is the BEST girl! An ACC shelter survivor in NYC for 7 months (a shelter staff and volunteer fav) ... now in upstate NY in foster doing great! Cardi foster mom says about this special girl ... "Cardi is a sensitive, empathetic girl who has been waiting over a year for someone to see how perfect she is. After growing up in a crate and spending 7 months in the NYC shelter, she's shown incredible resilience and love for people. The person who adopts her will be rewarded with the most loyal, empathetic pup who becomes more confident and goofy every day. She loves her walks and hikes, but is also perfectly happy to curl up by your side and let you work: she just wants to be a part of whatever her people are doing. Cardi should be the only dog in the home and would love somewhere quiet and relaxed. She's spayed, vaccinated, crate trained, walks nicely on the leash and is a 100% certified lovebug. She also comes with the world's best ear bonnet!" Cardi is about 4 yrs old and weighs about 65 lbs. She is UTD and spayed. House trained. Have questions? Want to visit? Please contact reboundhounds@gmail.com and her rescue will get right back to you, thanks! CARDI IS IN SAUGERTIES, NY
