Story
Brindle Pitt looking for a new forever home. We rescued him a little over 2 years ago and never had a problem. (He did show aggression at the rescue place he was at towards other dogs, they believe he was used for fighting as he has a few scars on his legs but he was found on the side of the road) He did a meet and greet with our 2 little pups (chihuahuas) with no problem (his aggression was towards larger dogs) he has lived with them for almost 3 years with no problem. He just recently started showing small signs of aggression and we came home to my little pup dead. He had killed him. he just hasn’t been the same since. He shows absolutely no signs of aggression with kids or people at all only other animals. He would do great in a home where he is by himself.

Story
Taz is an adorable terrier mix who is looking for an active family who enjoys long walks and lots of toy play. Taz would love to share a home with another active, fun loving dog that is med size of larger. He is still learning and sometimes his play can get a little rough although he is living with both big and little dogs right now. When Taz came into rescue he was a wild child and thought that he ran the world. He is a quick learner, loves kids, is great in a crate, has been neutered, utd on vaccines, microchipped clear on he and Lyme and is on hw preventative. Jax would do best with a fenced yard and would make an awesome agility dog. If you’re looking for a dog that energetic and fun loving you need to meet this guy. Has a terrier cost that seems to be non shedding.

Story
Brimo is once again looking for what will hopefully be his forever home. This poor boy has been failed by humans more than once but that doesn’t stop him from being a sweet, loving boy. Brimo was left tied in an alley as a 3 month old puppy.He was adopted and then returned after months because his new owner had problems bonding with him. She preferred rotties. Brimo was with rescue for months with no interest so we sent him to a board and train facility for 8 wks of training just to make him more adorable. Once again he was adopted and after 3 months was returned last week because the adopter lived with his parents and his Dad refused to even speak to poor Brimo. This dog deserves so much more than life has given him so far. He still has a big puppy mentality, is good with kids loves to go for rides is a great hiking partner. He is good with other dogs but might be too much for a small dog. He’s not a fan of cats. A fenced yard would be the icing on the cake for this guy. If you are looking for a wonderful, loving dog and are ready to make a serious commitment to a great animal please make an appointment to meet Brimo.

Mickey is a beautiful young shaggy mix pup with a wonderful temperament. He is happy and outgoing despite being picked up as a stray. Mickey had a gorgeous blonde terrier coat that will require very little grooming. He needs a little work walking on a lead and would love to have a fenced yard to burn off some energy. He is being neutered Oct3 and will be hw and lyme tested, utd on vaccines and microchipped. Mickey is good with other dogs, great with kids but a little rough with small ones, not sure about cats. He seems to be housebroken and is crate trained.
