Story
Blackbird is a happy guy who loves to play ball. He would need to meet any other dogs, but he enjoys (10 and up) kids and did we mention playing ball. When he runs his ears flop, its the cutest thing. This boy was in a home and liked one dog but not the other, he also has some resources guarding issues. We think he would do best as an only dog untill a good trust and bond can be had. He does best with men.**Please fill out an application found on our website under "adopt a pet" and send it in to start adoption process.**All Dog Adoption Fee's are $175 Cats are $100Includes initial Vaccinations, De-Worming, Flea Meds, Heartworm Testing, & Spay/Neuter

Story
Dolores was found on a country rd. We think she was used for breeding then after a few litters, dumped. She doesn't seem to like other dogs, but once in a home and she de stresses that may change. She does love people, and wants to be touched and loved on. Although she is laid back, being a bull terrier still needs her outside exercise time to get some energy out.She is great on leash.**Please fill out an application found on our website under "adopt a pet" and send it in to start adoption process.**All Dog Adoption Fee's are $175 Cats are $100Includes initial Vaccinations, De-Worming, Flea Meds, Heartworm Testing, & Spay/Neuter
