Story
Helen #24227 is a sweet female mixed breed weighing approximately 47lbs. She is spayed, up to date on shots, flea/tick, wormer, and is HEARTWORM NEGATIVE. She had a cherry eye successfully repaired when she was spayed. Helen’s colors appear different depending on the lighting. She is a very dark brindle. Sadly, she has spent 16 months in the shelter. She is estimated to be 3 years old now. She has playmates, and with proper introduction should be fine in a multi-dog home. She is quite playful and a dog with a matched energy level would be best. She has spent time with children and men and women. No problems with any. We do not have cats and have no way to evaluate behavior with them.

Story
Hank “Williams” #25121; male; mix breed; estimated age 2 years; approximate weight 55lbs. Hank and several others found themselves on their own when the owners abandoned them without food, water, or shelter. He is currently undergoing slow-kill heartworm treatment. He is neutered and fully vetted. Hank has lots of energy and needs a safe fenced yard where he can run it off! The shelter is a STRESSFUL place and causes a lot of over stimulation in dogs. Hank can be selective with his playmates. Applicants will be required to have a meet and greet with family members and other dogs.

Story
Meet Kayda - She just showed up at the shelter parking lot one day and "turned herself in". She has survived heartworms and is believed to be healthy. She does have a special need - she cannot be around other dogs. There is nobody she doesn't like (two-legged), but we are yet to find a dog that she can play with. If you are looking for a one and only dog, have a very secure fenced yard, and no need to take her walking, etc. give this girl a chance.

Story
Harley #25273; male; blue heeler; estimated age 5 years; approximate weight 52lbs. Harley had lived with his dad since he was a puppy. He was loved and well cared for until his owner’s health failed and he could no longer care for him. This sweet boy came into the shelter just in time for Thanksgiving dinner! He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and wormer. He tested heart worm positive and is currently undergoing slow-kill treatment. He is asymptomatic and doing great. He is a little intimidated by the loud shelter, but is adjusting. He will make a great family dog.

Sparky

Catahoula Leopard Dog Mixed Breed (Large)

Bolivar, TN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sparky #25161; male; mixed breed weighing approximately 60# and estimated to be 3 years old. This guy showed up at a factory in the north part of the county. He went into the office and made himself right at home. Too bad for him, but they couldn’t let him stay. He is one handsome guy! Sparky is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative and on prevention. He has lots of energy and will do best as an only dog with an active family or a secure fenced place to play. He is food motivated and with a little consistency he will be easily trained. We know the right home for him is out there somewhere! We do not have cats in our shelter and therefore cannot evaluate the dog’s reactions.

Story
Beth and her two sisters have grown up in the shelter. They came in as "teenage" puppies and are still with us. There is not a mean bone in this body! But, she and her sisters prefer other dogs over people. Again...NO AGGRESSION - they simply prefer other dogs. They are very athletic and would make great dogs on a farm. They will all require an adopter with patience to let them come around for petting in their own time. All three are beautiful girls - Monica, Evelyn, & Beth. They are do SO WELL with dogs that they are our "temperament testers".
