Leia is the sweetest dog I’ve ever met. House trained, crate trained and good with other dogs. I’ve never seen her growl or show any signs of aggression. I’m looking for someone who has time for her. Unfortunately due to work/ scheduling I cannot give her the time nor love she deserves.

Story
Remy is our very own "Diva," fur-baby. We acquired her from a family member who is also a breeder. She is a few months passed 2y/o. Born 11/10/2022. Our ideal new home for her would be one full of love, and affection. She is full of energy and loves kids. Nothing excites her more than the sound of kids' laughter along with her food bowl being filled. She is house-trained and is familiar with basic commands. She is also very protective and will most assuredly alert you to someone pulling up in the driveway. A quick sniff for recognition purposes and she's back to minding her own business. Call her name and she can't get to you quick enough in her mind so be prepared for the quick sound of paws hurrying in your direction for some kisses and belly rubs.

Story
Dixie is a sweet, almost 10-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/hound mix with wonderful manners and a calm, people-loving temperament. She's fully potty trained, knows all her basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, come, and more), and enjoys nothing more than being close to her family. Her favorite things include gentle attention, exploring outdoors, and soaking up the sunshine. She gets along well with other dogs and cats in the home, though she isn't especially playful with them and prefers human companionship. Dixie is active and happy to go for walks or runs, spend time in a fenced yard, or relax outside, but she'll always choose being indoors with her people when they're home. She maintains a healthy 55 lbs and eats standard dry food at her own pace. Dixie is up to date on all care, including her rabies vaccine, which is valid through 2027. She does experience some separation anxiety and can become stressed in boarding or vet environments, so she prefers to not be left alone for hours.
