Story
Mack was found as a stray with a younger boxer who has found his own home. Mack would love to be next. He's a little scared of new things but once he feels comfortable he's such a wonderful goofball. He's still a little unsure of the leash but is happy to follow and learn it. He seems like he has some house training. Outside in the play yards he loves prancing around and playing with people and we believe he'd be a great walking companion. He works for treats and pets which will be great for training him in his new home. When he's happy his big ole tail is spinning and he gets a cute little underbite smile that no one can resist. If you think Mack could be the pup to be your sidekick come check him out!

Story
Lucy was found as a stray. She spent a few weeks on the run, avoiding humans until one lovely person started feeding her and gaining her trust. Since she's been with us she has been very trusting and does very well on leash. We recommend that her adopter start off with her leashed at all times outdoors to make sure she doesn't decide to run off again. She's looking for a family that will make her want to leave her roaming days behind her.

Story
Ollie is a very sweet boy who came to us as a stray. He just loves to love. When he first meets people here he's all excited and trying to give kisses. Once he's corrected and gets that energy out he's happy to get snuggles and curl up near people to snooze. He has done very well around other dogs with the limited interactions we've had with him so far. When he first arrived he had injuries that looked like he'd been attacked by another dog and he did so well with his treatment and recovery. He loves peanut butter and eats it so fast that he didn't even notice his medication hidden in it! If you have a big heart and want a companion with a heart just as big come check Ollie out. If you have been wanting a couch potato who will give you undying love, Ollie is your boy!

Story
Wrangler is a gentle boy who came to us as a stray. He's a little scared right now being in a new strange environment but he does so well letting us work with him and love on him. He loves to go play outside with humans and enjoys getting his hair brushed. We are still getting to know him and will update as we know more but if you'd like to meet him and see for yourself come on out.
