Story
Sammy is a 5-year-old, 63-lb neutered sweetheart who truly loves everyone. Kids, strangers, dogs, cats, chickens—you name it, Sammy is gentle, friendly, and affectionate. He’s confident, cuddly, fully house trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands. Sammy struggles with anxiety indoors and has a strong desire to roam, making a suburban setting unsafe for him. He would thrive in a farm or rural home with lots of safe space to explore, where his anxiety would likely subside.  With his dad about to deploy and mom working long hours, this boy needs a new home with someone who can help him fulfill his needs.  They love him enough to want what is best for him. Originally rescued from Puerto Rico after being hit by a car, Sammy recovered beautifully and has the biggest heart. He is the sweetest boy and deserves a home that fits his needs. If you have land, love, and room to roam—Sammy may be your perfect match. Complete one of our online adoption applications today!

Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hendrix is an almost 10 months old Black Mouth Cur. He was adopted from the animal shelter in May and has made a loving addition to our home. He gets along great with our 5 year old son and loves spending time outside. He is a very energetic dog, but once he tires himself out, he loves to lay across your lap and cuddle. We’re looking for a home where he will get plenty of time with his owner(s) and lots of outside space. Due to our jobs, we have to spend less and less time with Hendrix which makes him anxious and lonely. He needs plenty of attention and love. His favorite thing is having someone in the house with him majority of the time. He is crate trained, but prefers to roam about and follow his owner around the house. Perfect companion and outdoor loving dog.
