Story

Frankie is a beautiful dog inside and out. He loves his toys and loves to play. He is ok with other dogs but prefers to be number 1. He is treat motivated and know his commands sit, stay, etc. he does well on leash but can be a puller if distracted. He loves to ride in the car especially when the window is cracked just enough to put his head out for the breeze. He is good with grooming but is not super fond of the brush around is bottom. He is not a super fan of being left alone for hours. He can be rambunctious with visitors and children. Once they are no longer new visitors he will go about his business. He does not like to be hugged. He is a herder and will herd you. So why am I rehoming him? I recently had back surgery and 7 weeks postop I fell resulting in permanent damage and can no long care him. I want to find him a home where he will be the only dog and an inside dog. He has never been an outside dog. He requires regular grooming and regular brushing.

Brad Pitt

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Brad Pitt was dumped in our neighborhood Christmas Eve 2023. The vet told us he was roughly a year old. We posted him on Facebook pages. We notified vet offices in our area. When we didn’t get any responses, we decided to get him ready for adoption. He’s been fixed and he’s up-to-date on shots. We got him microchipped. Unfortunately our two dogs will not allow him to integrate into our home setting. Currently, Brad stays in a downstairs bedroom and we take him to puppy daycare three times a week. We want to find him a home where he can integrate and not be separated. He is a sweet, handsome boy looking for his forever home.

Meet Cleo! This 5 year old min pin mix is about 12 pounds and absolutely beautiful!! She is also a little escape artist and escaped for several weeks!
