This poor girl was taken in by a city animal control along with 3 others and put at a vet clinic till they could find somewhere for them to go but no one wanted them so the vet was going to euthanize them and I was able to get homes for 3 of them but no one wanted Callie because she was pregnant, I picked her up on a Friday and she had her pups that next morning 6 healthy babies. Callie needs a soft landing and lots of love she is a great dog.

Story
Finn is a very friendly and smart dog. He’s been around people his whole life and has never had any issues nor with pets or children. Unfortunately with my work schedule I’m not able to give him the time and care that I should, so I’m looking for someone that will love and give him the attention he deserves. He does have heart worms, but is medicated for it with a once-a-month pill and has only been getting better.

Story
Blade is a 2 1/2 year old lab mix. He is full of energy and always looking to play. He needs more attention than we are able to provide him with our busy schedules. He is neutered and caught up on shots. We are looking to move sometime in late spring or early summer and since he is 40 lb, he is too big for all the places we have found so far. He has lived with another dog his whole life, he is used to small/med dogs. He loves going on walks, and enjoys playing fetch. Blade plays with smaller children fairly well, he just gets a bit to excited at times and can knocked them over. Blade is house trained but prefers to be out doors more than anything. He is very lovable. He can be quiet when he wants to be. He loves treats especially when he does what is asked of him. Other than that he is a very loving dog and he would make anyone love him as well. He has a crate, leash, collar, some toys and food bowl and a whole bag of dog food that will be going with him.
