Story
CHINA- 5-6 Years Old, House Trained, Skin Issues, Good with Older Kids & Dogs.    China was surrendered due to no fault of her own.  China does have some skin issues and fur loss as you can see, which we are checking out here with our vet. She was able to roam free in the home with no issues. She is said to enjoy balls, frisbees, plush squeaky toys, and tug toys, super playful girl!  She has been known to escape her yard a few times, so we recommend a privacy fence or leash walks for this adventurous girl. She is describes as very smart, friendly, loving affection. She has been friendly and playful with older kids and dogs. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 4, 2025, 10:59 am

Meet Snowbell &#226&#157&#132&#239&#184&#143 SNOWBELL - 1-5 years old, 35 pounds, sweet by shy, nervous in new situations   Stunning Snowbell is a sweet young girl with the body almost like a fox, light tan fur, straight up ears and a sit that is commanding!   She is smart, knows several commands, and is really really treat motivated!   Snowbell is looking to be the only pet in an adult home.    She can be very nervous at first and slow and proper introductions to new people is importnat.   Once she trusts you, her affectionate, gentle and silly sides shine through.   The first thing she did in the yard was some fantastic zoomies! She made me dizzy with all the running in circles! Silly girl!   Snowbell would benefit from continued daily training (get her mind moving!) and daily exercise and play time (get her body moving!)   She might push some buttons as she can act puppy-like so please be ready for some understanding and patience as she gets accustomed to her new house, family and routine.   With time, love, and understanding, Snowbell will be the most loyal companion you could ask for.  Snowbell is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet her and don't see her, please just ask.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 27, 2025, 9:36 am
