Story
Gilligan is a fantastic dog, he has a great personality and and very loving. I like to describe him like the3rd hyena off of the lion king lol the only issue he ever has is he needs to eat separate from any dog/child or anything because he used to be bullied in a kennel and has attacked our child trying to help feed him. Just feed him separately and everything will be perfect ! Would be great at hunting as well, please someone come love my sweet boy 🩵

Story
Remi is 11 months old. She has been to puppy training, house trained, and crate trained. Unfortunately at this time we cannot keep her. We have other dogs and cannot give her the attention she is needing. She has a very sweet and funny personality. Couch potato most of the time. She is still young so spurts of puppy energy is to be expected. Best if you have time and room for a XL breed. Continued training would be recommended as she is not done growing.

Story
Reese is a 1.3 year old American Bully, he is a well loved member of the family and loves his human sister (8 year old daughter) and gets along very well with other dogs but hasn’t been around cats. He is very well behaved when he has routine and a yard to run in and get energy out, he loves to snuggle and he right by your side when he’s not playing ball. He’s never shown aggression, and it’s working in his potty training when routine is implemented. Unfortunately I’ve had to move from a house to a small apartment and it’s just become too burdensome for me to rebuild my life the way I need to. He’s a great dog that deserves the best family/owner and someone who can offer him more time and space to live his best life.

Story
Meet Cherry 🍒 2 year old, Mixed breed, 30lbs, female Cherry came to us a few months ago after she was abandoned in a parking lot with cardboard box full of newborn pups. Luckily a Good Samaritan picked her up and got her to safety. She had 8 beautiful pups and she was such a good mommy. Now it’s her turn to find a forever home! She is on the submissive side and good with other dogs. She is house trained, although we do think she has never lived indoors with a family. We are working on her confidence and she will need a patient home. Cherry is very sweet and loves her belly rubbed. We believe she may be a Mountain Cur mix. Cherry is now current on vaccines, heart worm tested negative, spay, and microchipped. We are accepting applications at https://form.jotform.com/secondhandpaws/app

Story
Welcome back Jax (Newton) ❤️ Born 5/19/23, approximately 20lbs, neutered male Introducing Jax! Jax is looking for a new family, he was adopted as a puppy but was returned to rescue. Jax is a Mountain Cur/ Australian Cattle Dog and Rat Terrier mix, which means he is driven and craves attention. He has an eagerness to please that we don’t see in many dogs, making him a fantastic dog for someone who enjoys the outdoors, such as hiking, walking, camping or just a leisure walk around the neighborhood. Jax would also excel at agility or a similar activity, he is a quick and agile guy. Jax can be a bit possessive of his person and his toys so he needs a person who while give him clear direction and corrections. He responds very well to verbal commands, he knows what is expected, but he likes to push those boundaries sometimes, he is still young after all. Jax is totally house and crate trained. He walks well on a leash and knows several commands such as sit, down, shake, drop it and stay. If Jax sounds like he would be a good fit for your life, he would love to meet you! He current on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. We are accepting applications at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SHPA/Dog
