Greg and his siblings were abandoned at 7 weeks old, they were dropped over someone's fence while they were out of town.

He is great with kids and other dogs. He has already been started on Flea and tick prevention plus heart guard. Greg is always ready for an adventure and is ready to meet his new family.

Story
Teeny tiny Georgia is a peach of a pup. She is just 7 lbs and is 5 ears old. Georgia came from a hoarding situation, so she needs another dog in the home to feel well, at home! She is shy at first but has not been nippy. She lets you pick her up and snuggle her and will come out of her shell more and more with a gentle loving home. She is working on potty training and does not like to be crated. Gorgia can also climb so she will not do well with a chain link fence All our dogs/cats are vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, on preventions, and spayed/neutered if old enough.
