Story
It’s summertime, which is also Green Bean time. This 11-month, 45-pound hound/terrier mix loves to romp around outside, when it’s warm and dry. When it’s not, he’d much prefer to snuggle in your lap and shower you with kisses. Green Bean is a very smart pup who is highly trainable. He aced the basics like crate, potty, and general commands. He still needs some work with leashes, but what he really wants is someone to help him become a fetch master. To get himself ready, he takes his ball to the top of the hill and chases it as it bounce down. Things Green Bean doesn’t like, besides cold weather and wet grass, include standing to eat or using a dog bowl. Instead, he lays down, tips the food out, and enjoys a leisurely meal and peaceful nap at the same time. (You know you would if you could.) Green Bean is good with kids and enjoys playing with both big and small dogs. But what makes Green Bean really excited is seeing his person. When he sees his person, tail wiggles are just not enough. This clown wiggles his whole self. And when he does, you can’t help but smile. Green Bean is a summer loving, couch cuddling, bum wiggling, mischief making, ball of kiss giving joy who anyone would be lucky to come home to.  All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home.

Story
Meet Meco. The vet believes he is around 2-4 years old and an American Bulldog. This beautiful boy enjoys long naps during the day, and is so cute when he snuggles with his stuffed toys. Meco enjoys a good walk and is fully house broken.  Meco enjoys the outdoors;  riding on the ranger or mower for rides are favorite treats.  He is affectionate, knows many commands and listens well. Pleasing his person is VERY important to him. He's a lower energy dog most of the time but does really enjoy his outdoor time!  All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home.

Story
HI! I’m Rory . . unless my foster mom wants my full attention and then she uses my full name – Rorschach. I’m about 2 years old and I love ALL the things! I love food, treats, flowers, people, heck I even love my cage . . .well you get the idea, I am a lover! I am house trained and live riding in the car, I can doggie paddle, I know my basic commands and I am so smart I bet I could even learn more if you want to teach me. I love to play and then play a nice long nap. I value my beauty sleep so at bedtime I’ll go right into my crate. I am always the last one up in the morning and prefer a nice 8 to 10 hours to ensure I maintain this adorable face. Don’t forget, the name is Rory and I sit when asked, I’ve learned down and even shake, wanna see me do it?! Fill out an application and ask for a visit with me, the one with the heart shaped blot next to my tail - I bet you’ll fall in love, just like I will!  All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home.
