Maverick is a very loving and caring dog that will never leave your side. He is excellent with other animals and kids I’ve never had an issue with that. He is very energetic and loves to give kisses. I can no longer have Maverick due to my living situation with work anymore so I am looking for someone who will take very good care of him.

Story
Lucky....is exactly that, a very Lucky boy that we found him. He was in a terrible situation as a small puppy. But then came the day we plopped him in the backseat and it was all fun and games from then on. Lucky absolutely loves playing with all people and all dogs, even the ones that don't want to play. He is a very happy boy! He is a puppy and is still working on potty training but he is doing really well. He knows he is supposed to go outside. He is crate trained, and ready for his future with his loving new family. He deserves the best and we will make sure he gets the best too. There will be a vet check and homecheck after filling out an application at the time of a meet and greet. Thank you for your interest! Lucky cant wait to meet you...he will show you his wiggles!

Story
Kaya is a very special young lady. She is shy at first but once she warms up to you she will cuddle, play, anything you like. Kaya is 30lbs. She is very smart. She has learned sit, and she jumps about 3 feet up into her favorite crate every night. She is crate trained, and she will hide inside her crate until she knows she is safe. Kaya is so soft and cuddly, she is getting used to being brushed, and she found out she likes a bath. Kaya was not housebroken when she first came here, but we took the time and learned quickly. She Loves playing with all the dogs here, doesn't mind my 2 cats, and lived in a home with young children. The family that had her could not keep her due to their new trailer park not allowing Kaya's breed. So I am fostering her for however long it takes. She does have an appt to be spayed in the near future. Kaya is beautiful inside and out. She has so much love to give. She will touch her cheek to yours for her special hug. Warms the heart.

Story
Sheba is absolutely as perfect as they come. Sheba's Dad had to give her up due to being an Amputee. She needs to have some fun which she would not be able to do in his situation. Sheba turned 5yrs old in January. She is an old soul and absolutely loves her people. She loves playing with all the dogs here because they are bigger, she does not like small dogs or cats. Sheba does pull on her leash so a fenced in yard would be best. She goes outside and does her business right away, but she likes to be able to see her person or she will sit at the door and wait. I cant think of anything negative about this girl. She is absolutely beautiful. She loves her squeaking balls, she loves to sleep, she just wants to be with you, beside your feet or next to you on the sofa. She is a big girl, last weighed in at about 100lbs. Are you the love of her life? She has so much love to give, she will gaze at you with loving eyes. Like I said she is perfect. Come meet her and find out for yourself.

Bash is a friendly happy guy! He’s got the cutest disposition. He’s a big boy but doesn’t know it. We think he’s got some hound dog mixed in there with who knows what else. All we know is that he’s a good boy who loves attention and is going to be a great pet
