Story
Looking for a beautiful dog? How about a smart dog with lots of energy for walks, hikes and play? You’re in luck: Bandit has it all. Besides being gorgeous, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and receiving preventative. He’s an adult with a puppy's playful personality (yes, that means lots of toys to keep him busy, besides an organized plan to make sure he gets plenty of exercise.). He’s smart, affectionate, and loves attention. He responds well to positive training methods and learns fast. He does not do well with cats, but loves people of all sizes.

Story
Poncho, is such a sweet dog! We got him at 8 weeks old and has been the companion to our other outside farm dog! He is really good tempered and loves kids and other dogs! I have never had him around cats so I don't know how he would react! He has never been inside but I do believe he would like it inside. He is a little over a year old and has been neutered and is up to date on all his shots! And is currently on flea medicine. Unfortunately he started killing our chickens, ducks and turkeys. We have tried everything to train him or to teach him not to do it, but unfortunately he just won't stop and since we live on a farm we just can't keep him! I would love for him to go to a loving home that would give him the love and attention he deserves. He also needs room to run!
