Story
Maverick is a 5/6 year old shepherd mix. We rescued him when he was nearly one year old. He has been a part of our family with our older dog who is 9 and our now almost 2 year old daughter. He is the most sweet, loving boy and wants nothing more than to lay on you and cuddle or run outside and play. He is fully trained and is a good listener. However, mav has A LOT of anxiety. He barks when people walk by the house, he needs a LOT of time to trust people coming into the home (will bark and pace). So he needs someone who is patient. Most importantly, he must be the only dog. He has begun guarding our daughter and his food, and takes this out on our older dog pretty severely. So he MUST be in a loving home where he is the ONLY DOG. Mav really is the sweetest boy and we want him to go to another loving home.

Story
Utah is a funny, good, energetic young dog full of love. I believe he is mainly coonhound but I’m unsure if he is full bred. Utah is potty trained, does good on a leash if you use a harness, and enjoys walks, balls, snow, and playing with his brother. Unfortunately I got a new job that requires I’m away from home more than Utah needs so I’m looking for a loving person that will give Utah all the love I have. Utah is great with other dogs, kids, and I was told is good with cats. Please consider letting Utah become a part of your loving family!

Story
Meet Oliver! Oliver was admitted to the shelter in June of 2020 as an owner surrender. Oliver is a vocal pup that likes to talk and sing. When he's out of his kennel, he enjoys sniffing around and checking out his environment as typical hound mixes do. He likes to be pet and get attention. He does well for photoshoots and enjoys posing pretty! He knows a few commands like sit and paw and would love to learn more! He is a very smart boy. In the shelter environment, he seems to be scared of cats, but has made friends with other dogs through the fence. Due to his temperament and size, Oliver would do best in an adult home or a home with older children. If you're looking for a faithful companion, Oliver may be the one for you.Good with/Lived with:Dogs: Selective.Cats: Selective.Kids: Older 13+Activity Level: MediumWeight: 70-75 lbs.

Story
Hi there! I'm Sapphire and I'm really happy to meet you! I was brought to the shelter in July of 2021. I came in with a bunch of other Pit Bulls, all of which have been adopted. I don't really understand why I am the only one still here. I am a lot of fun! I really like playing in water, so if you ever wanted a buddy to go swimming with, please take me! When I'm not playing in the pool I like to keep active in other ways, like getting the zoomies and sprinting around or playing with toys. While I am a super sweet girl, I will need an experienced owner to continue to work with me and get that energy under control! Because of this I would not do well in a house with children, as I can get very rambunctious. I am also dog selective, but not necessarily opposed to a furry friend! However, I cannot go to a home with cats! So, if you have the space for my energy and the patience to help me channel it into other activities I'd love to meet you! I am a super sweet girl.Activity level: highWeight: 60 lbs Primary Color: Blue Secondary Color: White Age: 6yrs 0mths 0wks

Story
Buddy is an inquisitive 5-year-old lab/hound mix. He absolutely loves to be outside, nose to the ground, exploring his surroundings. It takes some time for Buddy to get used to a person and he can be a really protective dog when it comes to those he is fond of. Once he gets to know you, Buddy loves to spend time with you. He is content to be around other dogs and loves to take a nap. He has the perfect energy balance of excitement when outside, but calm and quiet inside. Due to his protective nature, Buddy has a couple of biting incidents in his history. He would benefit from a force free trainer and leash training as well. If you think you can provide Buddy with a forever home, please reach out and contact Four Footed Friends at (724) 349-1144 or fourfootedfriends82@gmail.com. You can also visit https://www.fourfootedfriends.org/ for more information on our organization and other pets we have available for adoption.
