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.

I am trying to help my daughter. A single mom of 1 with 1 on the way. Small children startle Nala and she is reactive. This is dangerous for a little one. The whole situation is stressing my daughter out which is not good in her current condition. I have 2 dogs already or she would be mine. She is house trained, crate trained and a wonderful alert dog. I really want her to have a good home, she is loyal and loves much

Blitz, and Bailey were brought into the kennel during the big snowstorm with subzero temperatures. Luckily we were able to get them to the Kennel before anything terrible happened to them. They’re such very happy and well behaved dogs. They are sharing a kennel and they seem to get along perfectly.

Story
CAIN IS OUR LONGEST RESIDENT! He came to us late summer 2025. That’s a really long time for a dog to be in a kennel. He’s starting to show signs of distress from living in the kennel for so long. He’s losing weight and needs a quiet, calm place to be able to relax. Cain is a vibrant young dog who loves life. He’s got a lot of energy and excitement for Life. He loves spending time with the volunteers taking long walks or playing in the play yard. He’s a beautiful blue gray color. He’s a medium size dog so he’s easy to handle. Cain would love to have a home for the upcoming holidays. If you’d like more information on him email us at sableadoptions1681@gmail.com
