Story
Que came from a rescue. Que is bashful at first, after a slow intro and time he warms up to being the best dog, loves to give kisses, rub up against you and be your constant companion. A great back yard guardian for homes. An ideal setting for Que would be an adult family or with older teenagers. He is great as an only dog, but has been introduced to a few female dogs and was fine, but not with males. He is doggie door trained, house broken and is an indoor dog and can be left alone without a problem. He is approximately 3 years old and Weighs 70 lbs, has the most beautiful black coat. He loves to play, and loves his walks, but what is nice is he will sleep or lay back when you do. Que needs leash training, which I was not able to do being in a wheelchair. He gets very excitable when he sees another dog, cat or rabbits but nothing training won't take care of with a firm hand. He has Heartworm and is being treated, all meds will be supplied, needs no special treatment or care.

Story
Hi! My name is Mbappe (pronounced M bah pay). My name is a good one because there is a soccer ball player with that name and I’m black and white simuttlar to a soccer ball. Plus I’m athletic and active! I am a girl dog. I’ve had 10 days of training with Bark Dog Training. So I learned a few things. I know SIT, DOWN, and walking on a stringy thing, hmmmm the humans call them leashes. It makes sure your human is attached to you. I am also house & crate trained. I get along well with other dogs & kids (not tested with cats). I am a typical active pup and of course, I still enjoy to exercise my chompers, as an avid chewer, expect to take me to the Pet Store to pick out many hard bones. Many! I can be a bit shy on first introductions, but warm up fast. I would love an active family that will also continue with my training because my brain still has so much room in there for more words that make my body do things for treats. You know! In case you’re interested in how I came out to have these ears and adorable tuxedo, here’s what my ingredients are: She has had a DNA done and is 64% Pit Bull, 15.5% Great Pyrenees, 10% lab, 5% blue heeler, and 5% Staffordshire. I think they forgot 99% good girl! And I’m black and white not blue so what’s that about!?! I can’t wait to meet you, remember, I need a brief warm up so don’t expect immediate wiggles! You will get them though. Basics: Mbappe- spayed female, chipped, vaccinated, 7 months, large, black/white, Pitbull mix, great with dogs and kids, not cat tested, potty and crate trained, shy at first but warms up quick, doing training class, active How To Adopt: Please sign up to adopt me.

Story
Lucy is turning four years old in October! I literally found her on the side of the road when she was about three months old. I took her in and we became fast friends, so she spent the next 3.5 years with me! Our lives have both changed and unfortunately this has caused her to act out in the past. As long as she's kept active and loved, she's the gentlest, cuddliest dog! She's sweet, cuddly, doesn't bark (almost ever), and is great on walks. She's strong and will try to lead you, but when she learns your pace and mannerisms, she's great.

Reef is an adorable puppy with a sweet disposition and a goofy personality. He’s looking for a loving home where he can grow, learn, and share his boundless affection and playful spirit.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a sweet, goofy puppy, Reef is eager to meet you.

Axelby is a 4-year-old Pit Bull with a tender heart. He`s a bit shy and sensitive, so he would do best in a home with kids 10 and up who can give him the gentle patience he needs. Once he`s comfortable, Axelby`s sweet and loving nature shines through, making him a wonderful companion. He has met a couple dogs and is a bit standoffish, and may prefer to be the only dog in the home. Axelby can`t wait to find his forever home and snuggle up on the couch! Might it be with you?

Meet Emmie! Such a softie girl feeling a little worried with the recent transitions in her life, and so eager to meet her new family! A curious girl who is ready to find new adventures with her new favorite people, Emmie would benefit from a home that can go at her pace and provide her with a predictable routine as she settles in and builds a relationship with her family.Our volunteers tell us that when they first meet Emmie, she may seem a bit timid and unsure, but she responds well to patience and speaking to her in a calm and gentle manner. And once she is leashed up for her walks, she's ready to go. They have told us she is smart and sits politely for treats even when they don't ask her to do so. She likes scratches behind her ears and down her neck and if they stop too soon, well she may just let them know they aren't done yet.Emmie successfully lived with other dogs in her previous home and may enjoy a canine buddy in her new home. Don't miss out on this cutie, how can you resist those cute little teeth!? Primary Color: White Weight: 59.2 Age: 3yrs 4mths 0wks
