Story
Zander is a playful dog who loves to go on walks and play tug of war. He is affectionate and waits patiently in his kennel for his chance to go outside to walk. He's pretty energetic and would make a great hiking/running buddy! He is dog friendly, and would make a good playmate for another young energetic pup. Zander loves people of any age, but would do better with older children due to his rowdiness and size. He is treat motivated and eager to learn, with consistency there isn't anything you couldn't teach this boy!

Be aware, if your dog is territorial, they may butt heads.  Due to Buddy's size and energy level he would be best in a home with older children or ones who are used to larger high energy dogs.  He's been through training, is 100% crate trained, and loves to be loved on. Buddy is heartworm  negative, up to date on vaccines, preventatives, neutered, and microchipped.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 27, 2024, 8:59 am

Story
Nova is a sweet older girl who has recently completed her heartworm treatment, and now she's all set to embark on her next adventure - finding her forever home! This lovely lady is an absolute gem who adores people, toys, and of course, delicious snacks. One of Nova's favorite pastimes is cuddling up with her humans and showering them with love and affection. She's a true people person and thrives on companionship. Nova's gentle demeanor and affectionate nature make her the perfect cuddle buddy for cozy nights in. When it comes to toys, Nova is obsessed! Whether it's a squeaky toy, a plushie, or a chew toy, she's always up for some playtime fun. These toys not only bring her joy but also help keep her calm and content, especially during her recovery period. While Nova is an absolute sweetheart with people, she prefers to be the only furry friend in the household. She's not too keen on sharing the spotlight with other animals and would thrive as the sole pet, receiving all the attention and love she deserves.
