Story
Danner is a 2 year, 3 month old handsome red boy. This smiling boy weighs approximately 55 lbs and is the sweetest, gentle but playful boy you will meet. He has one of the saddest stories. This sweet boy was on death row. He was set for euthanasia in April of 2023, as a 3-month-old puppy. An amazing person pulled him from the euthanasia list, but with no rescue backing or help, they just wanted to make sure he wasn’t euthanized. a Danner has patiently waited over a year for his forever family. He has grown up in a home he didn’t know wasn’t his forever one. He gets along great with other dogs and doesn’t even mind cats, he does NOT have a high prey drive. Danner’s favorite activities involve laying around in the house, playing with toys and being free in the yard to sunbathe or just run around and stretch out. This awesome boy is a diamond in the ruff. He is so calm but entertaining, just wants to be in your arms and get lots of pets. He will be your most loyal companion, your shadow and your best friend. Danner will follow you around everywhere he can if allowed. He is not a leader, and would do fantastic with another dog in the home to be friends with or to learn how to be a true house dog. He is mostly crate and house trained. Danner would do great with a medium active household as he loves his walks, would do great on shorter runs (he has never been on a run, but he could get the hang of it!). He would thrive on going on adventures and exploring the outdoors. He is still a puppy at heart and does need proper training and stimulation to make him the best version of himself. Danner has waited over 2 years for his home, please help us help him find it. Adoption fee includes: Spay or neuter, current negative heart worm test, current parvo/distemper vaccines, bordatella (kennel cough), rabies vaccination, flea/tick and heart worm prevention, dewormer, microchip, and a health certificate from a vet giving him a clean bill of health PRIOR to adoption.

Story
It breaks my heart to post this, but I’m looking to rehome my sweet dog. He was rescued from Arkansas and Ive had him since he was just 5 months old. He will be 5 this upcoming October. Hes grown into a loving, loyal companion. Hes very sweet, loves to cuddle, and has a big personality. He does love to bark, but its all part of his charm. He needs a few minutes to warm up to other dogs, but once he does, hes incredibly friendly and playful. Im moving and currently in school, and I know he deserves more time and attention than I can give right now. I just want him to go to a home where he’ll be as loved as he is now.
