Story
BONDED PAIR WITH LULU! PLEASE SEE LISTING FOR LULU! LULU AND DUKE MAY POTENTIALLY BE ADOPTED SEPARATELY, BUT IT IS PREFERRED THAT THEY ARE ADOPTED TOGETHER! Duke and Lulu are a bonded pair who came into rescue following the death of their owner and loss of their home. As expected after all the changes in their environment and family dynamic the past six months, they seek lots of attention. Both are affectionate, playful and eager to please and would do well in a structured environment with humans who can give them the time and attention they need. Duke seems to be the strong silent type – sitting back observing and taking his cues from Lulu. He warms up right away, while she needs a little time to get comfortable with new people. Both travel in the car extremely well, are crate trained, and have lived peacefully with several inside/outside cats. Their roommates/caretakers report they have high prey drive and do not like Chihuahuas. As far as exposure to children, they have only encountered a 12YO nephew a few times. They both listen considerably well,but could use general manners reinforcement and leash work. If you’re looking to add a pair of loveable, entertaining, in-your-face Danes to your family, then these two are for you! Stay tuned for updates. Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.

Story
Oakley came into rescue through a veterinary office. He is a very under weight, neutered 5 1/2 yrs old and will need time to decompress. He is unknown to young children. However, he is good with children 11 years and up. He appears to like all dogs of every size and shape and loves to play with them. He is not aware of his size so he will need direction when playing too rough. He will have a training contract as he loves to go for walks. However, if given enough lead he will pull you over. He is unknown with cats. If you have a home, would like to meet this boy, and are willing to give him a couch to sleep on, please let us know. Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.

Story
❗️ Handsome puppy alert ❗️Meet Francisco! He is a 6 month old hound mix who is originally a Southern boy. Baby boy was found with his siblings on a property down in Georgia where they were very sick with URI’s. Francisco doesn’t let his past drag him down, though! He loves to romp around play, snuggle with his humans, and has a big appetite. Just like his sibling Franny, he is good with any and all humans, and even enjoys fellow doggie friends! Would you be a good fit for Francisco? Complete an application for him and schedule a time to meet him!

Story
Franny is hoping she doesn’t have to wait much longer for her furever home to come along ❤️‍🩹 She’s a 6 month old hound mix, and is as beautiful as she is sweet! Pretty girl was found with her siblings on a property down in Georgia where they were sick with URI’s. Franny has been flourishing in her foster home and is more than ready for a home of her own! She loves to play, is a snuggle queen, and also enjoys watching tv (and her foster lizard sibling!). She is good with any and all humans, and even enjoys fellow doggie friends! Would you be a good fit for Franny? Complete an application for her and schedule a time to meet her!
