Story
Bailey is looking for a new forever home. She’s absolutely amazing to people and nice to other dogs. She can NOT be around cats or chickens! She is around 4 years old. She is an escape artist. She can dig tunnels all day long. She would be an excellent inside dog. I have had her since she was little bitty and I love her so much but I’ve exhausted all of my options and she is needing a household that can give her everything she needs to be successful and stay out of trouble. She really is a good girl.  The most loyal dog I have ever seen. But she is very mischievous….  She needs someone that can keep a close eye on her.  if you would like to take her into your family, let me know.💕

Story
Fancy is a beautiful fawn full-breed French Bulldog with a heart as big as her personality. Born July 3, 2022, she is spunky, playful, affectionate, and happiest when she’s cuddled up beside her people. Fancy truly loves everyone she meets and has never met a stranger. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and takes monthly Simparica Trio. She loves car rides, camping, beach trips (as long as it’s not too hot), and does wonderfully on long road trips with potty breaks. She is leash and crate trained and knows “go to bed.” Fancy does well with children, though toddlers should be supervised because she can get a little enthusiastic when playing. She sleeps with the adults and loves being close to her family. I have had Fancy for 2½ wonderful years, and rehoming her is an incredibly difficult decision. Life circumstances have changed, and I can no longer give her the home she deserves. She is a true treasure, and my biggest wish is to find her a loving family who will cherish her.

Story
Maisy (blue brindle and white, 30lbs) is a little more independent than her sisters but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love people and attention. She will keep track of her foster while she keeps her eyes and nose looking for trouble.   This litter of 4 girls was born 3-25-23. The daddy is a chihuahua/Dauschund mix and the mother is a big bully breed mix. These puppies are gentle and social, smart, and not going to be large. They have learned to kennel, house training is a work in progress that their new families need to take seriously since these girls are still learning and need patience and help getting it right. Weight listed is from the day pup was spayed on 9-6-23, she will likely not exceed 35-40lbs.

Hoss is a 70lb Catahoula mix born in 2019, we think. Fully vetted, heart worm negative. Playful and loving with lots of enthusiasm. Hoss is treat motivated and been through training with Mark McKibben. Hoss is very active and needs a yard that he can burn off his excess energy.  Small children might get knocked over with Hoss' zest for life. He would not be best with other small animals.
