Story
This is Craig, almost 7 months old cattle dog mix. He started off shy but now has come into his own and is vibrant and full of life. He is very high energy so would do best in an active home. He loves cuddles whether it is with his foster siblings or of the human kind. He can play for hours whether it is with his foster siblings or fetch. He doesn't discriminate with toys, he will chew and chase after them all. He is crate trained and doing great with house training. He knows sit and working on other basic skills. If you're looking to add to your pack or wanting to start, consider little guy Craig!

🚨New Pup Alert🚨 Shoto is a fun and loving little guy. He loves to play with his foster siblings and with toys. Shoto will come and cuddle and wants lots of belly rubs. He is crate trained and does well. When he know you are home he is excited to get out and give you love. He is working very hard on potty training with a doggy door and is just having some small accidents in the house. Shoto is learning sit and takes treats really well. He came to us with a scarred area that has grown back almost all of the hair on his neck. He cannot wait to find his forever home!

Story
Meet Maggie, aka Maggie may, Mag Pie, or Waggy Maggie. She is a 4 yr old American bulldog mix (maybe some boxer in her?) with the biggest heart for humans and naps. She is a fan of her morning and evening walks, cuddle time with her humans, and play time with fetch or tug o war. She is great on a leash, off leash in the yard, or in the car where she enjoys taking in all of the scenery. Maggie may do best in a home where she gets all the love and attention.
