Sandy came to us under a seizer from a owner who was incarcerated. she is a very good dog and loves to carry her toy balls or her food bowl around. She is always happy to see you, and loves to go on walks and chill out in the grass and soak up the sun. She doesn't seem to mind the dogs here in the kennel, we do not know how she is with cats. She has done well with children around us. She is very clean in her kennel.

Story
Bubba came to us as a dumb. He was left outside of an apartment in a kennel. He was very scared when he came to us. He does have some issues with certain dogs, most generally if he has an issue it is because the other dog became aggressive first. He does have issues with peeing out of excitement. But he loves to go on walks, he does his best to be clean in his kennel. We do not know how he is with cats or children.

Story
Buddy came to the shelter under an investigation case. The conditions he was living in where not good at all. He is normally pretty clean in his kennel for where he came from. With ats he is not horrible, he was just never exposed to them before, it would be a learning process. He is very shy at first but warms up to you and is the biggest cuddler. He is doing well with walking on a leash now. and has come a long way since he came to us.
