Story
Koffee was born March 3rd. She was one of 8. My friend could not take care of all the pets so we offered to help. We received her in May, after her puppy shots were administered. Unfortunately, because she is our first and only dog, we were unaware of how much time she required. We are away from the house for about ten hours. This means she is by herself the majority of the day and we have not been able to house train her. She gets along well with our two cats and all three of my children. She is very friendly and loving. She does get excited when she’s running around outside or when we get home.

Story
Gregor is a regal name for a statesman type cattle dog/heeler gent who weighs about 40 lbs now full grown. Gregor is the picture of brains mixed with beefcake with a fab coat and amazing markings mixed in and eyes that speak of his wisdom. Gregor is a really nice guy who does very nicely with other dogs, male and female alike and mixes the energy of a heeler with the maturity of any adult making him a prize of a dog. Gregor would do best in a home that is very active and will stimulate his mind as well as his body on a regular basis. He does wonderfully in his crate and is not overly barky or vocal. So if you are looking for the good looks, great report card marks and companionship of a true gentleman, Gregor is your guy!

Story
If you’re looking for a canine companion who also happens to be as sweet as a treat, you have got to meet Parfait! This lovely hound mix is a devoted and affectionate girl who forms strong bonds with her people. And like any good parfait, she has plenty of wonderful layers to discover! Parfait absolutely adores her people and does wonderfully with children. While in foster, she formed a special bond with a 7-year-old and was never far from her side. She is house-trained when kept on a schedule, loves to cuddle, and is happiest when she can be close to the people she loves. Parfait is still getting the hang of car rides and is working on her crate training, but she is making progress. When she’s not spending time with her favorite people, she enjoys playing with squeaky toys and chewing on her favorite dog bones. With her sweet nature, loyalty, and affectionate personality, Parfait would make a wonderful best friend for someone looking for a loving companion to share life with. If you’re ready to add a little sweetness to your life, Parfait is waiting to meet you! Make an appointment today!

Story
We will allow that Jason might look like your basic black and white lab mix gent, but he's much more than basic in so many ways. Let's start with his size which is about 21 lbs and doesn't have lots more to grow though he does definitely need to fill out. Moving on, he does THE most adorable "arrrooooooo" when you talk to him that truly seem to mean he is talking right on back. He is SO much fun to boot and does really well playing, wrestling and keeping up with all the hub and bub at Saving Grace. Jason would fit well into most families and does not even take up much room. He is working on extra meals to make up for all he has missed and spiffing up the shine on his coat that comes from TLC which is not something he has had much of yet in his life. He is really good in his crate and keeps it clean and with a medium energy level is easily made happy with some regular walkies. He, and his "arrrroooo" are ready to join your in your home and life.

Story
Not sure a tuxedo ever looked this good, but Adam sure does wear his with style and when you add in that curled tail and those perky ears, it is absolutely swoon worthy! Adam is a small guy for an adult, weighing about 40 lbs now and is a terrier mix. He is a shy man who does great with other dogs and absolutely warms with some kindness and a soft hand. He would be a great dog for folks looking for a young yet mild and not crazy guy who is happy with run of the mill walks and lots of together time to feel cozy and at home. He would do really well in a home with other dogs to help build his confidence, but training and lots of reinforcement can do that even if he is a solo guy. Adam is wonderful in his crate, doesn't bark and carry on and is just super easy to be around. Adam is looking for his very own Garden of Eden and just knows his people are out there looking for him too! *Sleepover feedback: Adam is such a sweet dog who loves to cuddle and play. He is good on a leash and loves to go on walks and be outside. Adam would do really well in a house with a backyard where he would have a lot of room to run around. I let him sleep in my bed, and he loved to cuddle all night and slept well.
