Story

Zuko is a one year old mixed breed boy. He is half Pittbull/ 1/4 German Shepherd, 1/4 sheep dog. He is a very sweet playful boy who needs manners. He needs training and attention and he will make a great dog. He submits to his alpha mom and shows no signs of aggression. Good around small kids, just a big dog who likes to jump on you. Circumstances have changed and he and his mom (other post) spend 18 hours a day in a run with a poor quality of life. He and his mom like to escape from the run. Need a home where they get attention they deserve. The mom is not bonded to him and they do not need to go together.

Story

Valley is a young, energetic dog. Her favorite activity is cuddling in the lap of her trusted person. She's incredibly smart and eager to learn—especially when treats are involved! So far, she knows the commands "sit" and "down." Valley has a lot of energy and has gotten along with dogs in the shelter, but she can be too much for some dogs, so shelter staff recommends a slow introduction to any resident dogs.
