Story
PB for Pretty Boy. He was a stray. He was found to be shot with a BB gun, abused and scared of sharp noises and quick movements. He is extremely skittish and will run when frightened. He will need a secure fenced yard! As being retired we have gotten to know him well. He is house broken. He is not a barker. He won't bark outside even when he hears other dogs. We had him nurtured so it wouldn't be a stressful with going to a new home. He would do best in a calm home. He has no training for commands nor vocabulary He has never shown any aggression. I can put my hand in his food bowl. He would do well in a calm home. A military veteran could take advantage of free obedience training. He gets along with dogs, cats and people if they behave. He has never growled or shown his teeth. He is looking for love, trust and a fun environment. His potty breaks are approximately 12 hours apart. He is satisfied during the day inside with a bone to keep him amused. No regrets with this sweet dog!

Story
My name is Rex. I am a roughly 4 year old American bulldog mix. I am up to date on all vaccines as well as flea tick and heartworm meds. I am very playful and energetic but listen well provided I'm getting the exercise I need. Although I am energetic I do enjoy cuddling with my people and givng kisses. I've never had opportunity to be around kids or cats for an extended period of time so im not sure how I will do. I know basic obedience and am crate trained. However I definitely need work on leash manners as I usually work off lead with an e collar. I can be get overwhelmed on leash when I see another dog but all my encounters with other dogs have been positive. My favorite activities are running and playing with any tug toy. I would love to find a home with somone that has the desire to work obedience and has space for me to run and play.

Story
contact foster parent at lashleydunc11@aol.comIndy is a sweet boy approx 3 years old. He walks nicely on leash with a harness; loves to play with toys - and occasionally will take one on his walks! He’s energetic and playful, but also loves to lay in the grass and chill. Indy is good in the car, smart and trainable- he already knows ‘sit’ and ‘down’ . Indy has been here too long and needs to find his forever home soon!-loves children-housebroken and crate trained-non-destructive-dog friendly*-cat tolerant-great dog for a variety of familiesIndy is really fun dog with a great off button. He loves to get out and play; would in fact make the perfect running companion or even sport dog. However if chilling on the couch all day is more your speed, he is game for that too! He will just expect cuddles; personal space is not in his vocabulary. He thrives off human attention and love! He is a smart boy and has his unique quirks too. He loves long grass and standing on outdoor furniture (he learned that we in fact cannot stand on the inside dining table but foster mom does not care if I stand on the outdoor table, pool box, pool recliner or anything else outside). Really, he is probably part billy goat without the headbutts to your gonads. So if you ever wanted a pet goat but your stinky HOA won`t let you have one......*He loves playing with other dogs! He does have a rough style of play so would need to be with another dog that can match that or be tolerant of that. However he is not a fan of sharing his beloved toys or food. So separate feeding areas and toy times needed.He is learning his cat manners. He seems to want to play but he is a bit too rough to play with a cat; we are working on this.And finally, Indy is absolutely great with children. He is very attentive to their needs; even carefully keeping small ones away from sharp corners and stairs.Indy would do great as a single dog or with neutral doggy siblings. I can absolutely pictures him living it up in a bachelor pad or with a young family. He would honestly be great at both.Last note; Indy has some mad hops. He needs at least a 4.5 ft tall fence if let out in a fenced area.

Story
Hi, my name is Bear and I am a three year old male, mastiff and boxer mix. I love being an indoor couch potato! I also love going for walks outdoors on my leash. I am a big boy who is well over 90 lbs, but identifies as a tiny dog! I’m completely vetted & micro-chipped. I would be happiest as an only pet because I am a big sweet love bug who craves the total attention of everyone & I don’t realize my own strength. If you would be interested in giving me a forever home, here is some information you would need to know: My adoption fee would be $175, to cover a portion of my expenses for the rescue. The rescue will also provide some essentials I would need in my new home.
