Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rescued this baby from a bad situation, but am not able to keep her myself. She’s around 9 weeks old, very sweet and eager to please. She has had her first round of puppy vaccines, been dewormed and is currently on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. She’s currently sharing a house with another dog, cats and small child so she should be able to blend flawlessly into any household. She’s doing well with house and crate-training plus some basic commands. Very food motivated so I’m confident she’ll be easy to mold into your ideal companion.

Male, 3 yrs 6 mos
Helena, AL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jaxon, a 3 year old, 50lb boy, was heartbreakingly dumped in a neighborhood and found wandering the woods, covered in scars and severely malnourished. But from the moment he was called, he came running with a wagging tail—and he hasn’t stopped spreading love since. Now fully recovered, Jaxon is neutered, potty trained, and crate trained. He walks well on a leash, enjoys baths, and adores chewing on his favorite bone treats. Despite his rough start, Jaxon has a sweet, puppy-like temperament. He’s wonderful with children, gentle with small dogs, and even respectfully waits his turn at mealtime. He’s still learning some house manners but responds well to gentle guidance. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and playful snuggle buddy, Jaxon just might be your perfect match. Jaxon’s adoption fee is $300, which includes his neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. Visit www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to fill out an application.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This beautiful pittie girl has truly lived up to her name. When she first came into rescue, she was in heartbreaking shape—mange, skin infections, painful ears and eyes, and a spirit so broken she could barely lift her head. But with time, love, and care in her foster home, Queen has blossomed into the snuggly, loyal companion she was always meant to be. Queen adores other dogs, does wonderfully with cats, and is gentle with children. She is still a little leery of men, so she would thrive best in a female-led household. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body—this girl is all sweetness and cuddles. She’s house trained, crate trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. Queen’s absolute favorite place is right beside her person, whether that’s curled up on the couch for movie night or following you around the house just to be near you. If you’ve been searching for a gentle, affectionate soul who will be your constant companion, Queen is your girl. Adoption fee: $300 (includes spay, microchip, vaccines, and parasite prevention) Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com Transport to Hagerstown, Maryland or Newtown, Pennsylvania available for $165 transport fee plus cost of health certificate.

Jackie is a playful, energetic, and loving dog. She has more energy than she knows what to do with, so she gets anxious. She can play a little aggressive and doesnt fully understand cues to back off. With that said, although she meant no harm, she does having a biting incident on her record, and doesnt get along well with small animals or small children. She needs an active family- she would love to go on walks and hikes. She loves attention, and cuddles, stealing all the room on your bed, play fighting, and chewing on toys. Shes would make a very loyal companion for an active family that could take her on all the walks and hikes.
