Story
Leland is a very smart/alert boy at about 1 1/2 years old...Still puppy energy but also extremely willing to please...So, he does pay attention to people and is able to figure things out on his own very fast!!! He is a pleasure to be around on top of being a cutie!!! Leland was rescued from a High Kill Shelter, and was maybe part of a backyard breeding facility...Anyway, he is now safe! Healthy! and looking for a fun, dynamic and loving forever home!

Story
Mr. Higgiebottoms - Fostered in Las Vegas Hello! My name is Mr. Higgiebottoms but that is much too formal for my friends. You can call me Higgie. I'm a sweet old dude who was adopted from the shelter at 4 years old and then turned back into the shelter 10 years later as a big hot mess. A Purposeful Rescue knows when there is some magic happening under that hot mess and made sure I got my ticket out of there! I got some much needed TLC which included a groom and full vetting (you should see how clean my dull chompers are now). I am being fostered in Las Vegas which means you need to be able to travel there to meet me. I'm living with a houseful of other quirky retirees and I like to try and snuggle in bed with them. In general, I prefer the company of mellow dogs as I don't hear well and my vision is also a little cloudy so rambunctious dogs startle me. After losing my first family, I desperately want to be loved and to have a person. If you're looking for a new BFF, I can be that BFF!
