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

Story
Meet Froot Loop, the gentle gem of her litter! Out of Honey Nut’s five puppies, she’s the calmest and most easygoing of the bunch. Froot Loop can be a little shy in new surroundings, but once she feels safe, her sweet personality truly shines. She’s playful and loving with her siblings, and when she warms up to you, she becomes the best snuggle companion you could ask for. You’ll often catch her with her adorable little tongue sticking out, even when her mouth is closed — it’s just part of her charm! Froot Loop would do wonderfully in a patient, gentle home that gives her time to come out of her shell. In return, she’ll give you endless love, quiet companionship, and those irresistible puppy snuggles. * Calm and gentle temperament * Playful with other puppies * Shy at first but very loving * Great snuggler * Adorable tongue-out smile _____________ Ready to adopt?
