Whether it’s playtime, learning new things, or soaking up affection, Sammy is happiest when he’s by your side. If you’re looking for a fun, loving companion who’s ready to grow and learn with you, Sammy could be the perfect match!

Story
****Matana has been with longer than we would like, so she has been added to our Lonely Hearts Club. Her adoption fee has been reduced to $100****Hello there! My name is Matana. My name means precious gift, which is perfect because I have been told that I am a precious bundle of joy! I can be shy at first, but once I warm up, I have a waggy tail, a big smile, and love to lean in for pets. So, if you are looking for the gift of a new friend this season, look no further! I`m your girl! Come on down to meet me to see for yourself! I just know we will be instant best friends!Restricitons: I cannot go home with cats and I may do best as the only dog in the home. I will need a slow introduction to other dog friends!Medical History: I appear to be a healthy adult, but it`s always a good idea to set up an appointment with your vet soon after adoption so we can meet each other! I have a mild ear infection which is being treated with medication and is getting better! I am currently on medication to manage my stress and anxiety in the shelter. Many dogs who are given these medications in the shelter do not need them outside the shelter, though we do think I will do best if I continue these medications at least until I am very well settled into my new environment.Weight: ~ 64 lbsAdoption Fee: $100 + tax

I am a semi energetic happy gal that LOVES my people unconditionally. I do like other dogs and cats. I like daily walks, car rides, toys, dog beds and hanging out with my humans. I am house trained and crate trained. (but much prefer being free and hanging out with my humans ....do you work from home?) I will require daily walks and some dog training. No children under 6 yrs of age. I am NOT an apartment or condo dog. I am a family pet!

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sasha is being fostered in PA. Sasha needs to be an only dog. She does not like active dogs Sasha can ONLY be adopted to a home with older children or all adults. Sasha is NOT good with cats. Sasha is spayed. Christmas time is here, soon a new year will dawn, and I’m still patiently waiting for my furever home and that special family to give me lots of love and belly rubs. I enjoy walks and will do OK without a fenced yard if you take me out on walking adventures. If you have a fenced yard I will run and play with you. I just enjoy the company of peeps. I don’t care to be with other dogs, just be by myself with my humans. I am a good girl in the house…unless you leave tasty morsels of food on the counter. Then I may just have to help myself! I know Sit, Down, am learning Wait, but I don’t really want to wait, hee hee. I also do pretty well on a leash. I’m still working on some other things like no jumping up on my peeps. I just want to greet and say Hi and give kisses and hugs to my peeps. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
