Story

Rocky is a wonderful dog! I hate to see him go but he is too hyper for my mom and she is just not comfortable with having this big of a dog at home. He doesn’t destroy anything and doesn’t have any accidents in the house. I just feel like he would be better suited with a home that is more active. He loves to run outside and he loves to play with his toys, he is a very active dog and I sadly cannot meet every need of his. He is a hugeee cuddle bug and wants to be under you as much as u let him. He knows sit, go home, (I tell him that to get off my bed and go to his because I dont allow him on my bed due to shedding), and he knows how to bring his toy to you when playing fetch! Hes really not a bad dog at all he just needs a home that has the time to play with him more and is maybe more of a nature household. He would be great as like a farm dog or if there was a back yard her would have a ball! I’ll be moving out of my parents home soon and just won’t be able to take him with me.

He’s affectionate, charming, and knows how to work those puppy eyes for extra snuggles.Rascal is as easygoing as they come—he gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and even cats.

Story

Say hello to Archie!! This cutie is three years old, UTD on all vaccinations, neutered, completed heartworm treatment and on Nexguard. Archie is definitely a house dog. After he does his business, he looks in the windows until you come for him! Archie loves his people. He runs in reverse in front of you so he knows exactly where you are going - it is adorable. He loves to sit on his bottom next to you, and lean against your shoulder while getting belly rubs. He loves stuffed toys and is learning to retrieve a tennis ball. This sweet baby is ready for a foster or adopter. He loves to play with other dogs. Archie does bark when strangers enter the house. This seems to be more from fear than aggression. Please consider this pup to be a top notch pet and a friend for life.This cutie pie was almost completely shut down when pulled from the pound. He didn’t eat or drink for two days and was lifeless in my lap. Things began to slowly change the third day. Archie liked ear rubs. His appetite began to return and a glimmer of personality started to sparkle. After two weeks with us, he is perfectly happy with non stop petting in my lap! He hops backward if he wants to get away quickly! Archie’s loves chew toys and piles them up in his favorite chair. He gets along really well with our senior JRT. This baby won’t let you get out of sight!! He needs more time in a good foster home to maintain trust. Boarding would be devastating to his progress. He is currently on heartworm treatment and is the most compliant pill taker I have ever seen. Listen to your heart and step up for Archie.I received a call about Archie who was being held at an animal shelter in Mississippi. He wasn’t adjusting and was shutting down. I picked him up and brought him home. He collapsed in my lap, not responding but obviously grateful for comfort. Archie is blossoming quickly. His visit to the vet revealed he is 22 pounds and3-5 years old. He received all of his shots and was neutered. He is receiving treatment for hookworms and is heartworm positive. Despite having a couple of health issues, Archie is beginning to shine. He has become an active, wiggly young fellow. Archie wants to be a lap dog but is so excited, he stands and wiggles instead! He shakes hands!! He isn’t a big barker.His appetite has improved and he eats well now. Archie takes his meds easily. He would love playmates. He tries to play with our elderly JRT, but Scout says nope. I haven’t been able to expose him to children, so no recommendation on that. I think after he settles down he will be a great pet. He is already doing well on a leash.
