Story
You won't find a more handsome, intelligent or silly boy than Sidney. He is about 4 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. 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 anncox.newemail@aol.com for an application

Story
MEET MARINA! This absolutely adorable and incredibly sweet staffy is ready for her forever! Marina is a true shelter survivor, she came out of that situation, ready, resilient and really up to whatever life had in store. Owned by one owner since puppyhood, her guardian could no longer take care of her. Her foster mom and dad are charmed by her ... they say ... "she adores her humans and loves to cuddle up next to you for a nap and belly rubs!". Marina LOVES her humans! She LOVES her playtime, fetch and tug of war. Marina LOVES her daily walks (great on leash) but also LOVES her downtime on the couch getting snuggles. Marina is a terrific canine! Playful, energetic, affectionate. She knows commands sit, stay, off, and leave. She is house and crate trained. Marina is a people pleaser! So easy to train. Ideal home for Marina? One that loves and cares for her of course, a home committed to her forever. A home that will give this active pup daily sufficient exercise to keep her happy and balanced. A home where she can be solo pup. Marina is UTD and spayed. She is four yrs old and weighs about 47 lbs. Have questions? Want to visit? Please contact reboundhounds@gmail.con and her rescue will get right back to you, thanks! MARINA IS IN THE ROCHESTER, NY AREA.

Story
MEET MAX! This very handsome boy (check out the two colored eyes!) is seeking his forever. Max is super sweet with his humans and friendly with strangers. This active, playful boy loves being outdoors, going on walks and hikes and going on adventures. He especially loves car rides! And his jolly ball and collagen sticks. Ideal home for Max? One that loves and cares for him of course, a home committed to him forever. An active home that will give him the daily exercise he needs to stay happy and balanced. A home that loves, respects and understands this breed, and will continue his training to become the best canine he can be. Though fine with kids, he can be a bit "jumpy", so kids over 12 or adult only home is preferred. Max is with other dogs in his foster and can be in his future home (with intros, of course), or will be fine as solo pup. No cats. Max is house and crate trained. He is about four yrs old and weighs about 70 lbs. UTD and neutered. Have questions? Want to visit? Please contact reboundhounds@gmail.com and we get back to you right away, thanks! MAX IS IN SALEM, NY (upstate).
