Story
Hero came to us after he was found by a local animal lover with 2 broken legs. This is a nice, friendly boy who is good with people, other dogs & cats. His approx. birth date is 01/01/18 and he currently weighs 41#. We did not see either parent and are guessing at breed based on physical attributes. We had both legs corrected at the price of $7000 and the results were great. The surgeon stated that the legs were broken most likely by a bat and that they were definitely broken at least 2 weeks apart. Someone did very bad things to this nice boy. Hero has been in foster and is House Trained. He has also graduated from basic obedience and is ready to move up to Dog 3 Obedience Class! Hero can be very possessive of his people and can be dog selective. We are recommending his as an only dog in an adult home. He has been vet. checked, neutered, micro chipped, is up to date on routine shots & wormings including rabies, and has been treated with flea & heart worm preventative per our protocol And heart worm tested negative.His adoption donation is $300 and needs to be cash, certified check, money order or a debit/credit card. There is a 3% processing fee when using a debit/credit card. We do not ship or transport.Please email for an application if you would like to provide this nice kid with his forever home. ##580807##

Story
Mr. Stallone loves his one on one time with the volunteers. He is super sweet and loves to cuddle and overall is a pretty chill guy. He would probably choose a back scratch over a ball (but as he gets more comfortable, we'll see if that continues to be the case). He had a bit of a rough start at the shelter with sore hind legs, but is on a joint supplement now for his hips. He does have a slight heart murmur that needs to be monitored, but no treatment at this time and it doesn't slow him down one bit. He is not a super high energy dog. He would be fine with backyard time and maybe a short walk for some exercise, depending on his joint supplement. He does bark at the other dogs in the shelter when they pass by, but this has gotten SOOOO much better as he has settled in to his routine with the volunteers. He is much more accepting of the other dogs and is less reactive to them. He will need to meet any potential brothers/sisters to make sure they are ok together. He did live with 8 cats before coming to the shelter, so we feel very confident that he would do well in a house with cats. If you are looking for a dog to hang out that doesn't need hours of play time, Stallone would be a good match for you.  ##2472380##

Story
Meet Leo! Looking for a big-hearted, big-pawed best friend? Leo is your guy! At 3 years old and a solid 100 pounds of pure love, this handsome hunk is ready to steal your heart (and probably your spot on the couch!). Leo is full of kisses and adores being around his people. He’s a smart boy who listens well, is completely house-trained, and doesn’t even need a crate. He’s happiest going for car rides, soaking up adventures, or simply lounging by your side. Because of his size and his enthusiasm for life, Leo would do best in a home without other pets and with older kids who can handle his playful energy. Cats? Leo says “no thank you!” If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal, lovable, goofy best friend who will shower you with affection every single day—Leo is the one! Apply today to meet this gentle giant and make him part of your family!

Story
Meet Cooper! This handsome 3-year-old pit mix is the total package—sweet, goofy, and full of personality! Cooper is housebroken and currently weighing in around 60 lbs of pure love (and maybe a little mischief).   He’s great with older kids, though his enthusiasm might be a bit much for the littles. Cooper’s idea of fun is zoomies in the yard, not road trips or bubble baths—so if you’re searching for a car companion or a water buddy, he’s not your guy. But if you want a loyal best friend who’ll keep you smiling (and your floors clean thanks to being house-trained), Cooper’s your dude!   Come meet Cooper and let him wiggle his way into your heart If you are viewing this pet's profile on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet,.please use the application link at the bottom of the profile to apply. Clicking the "Ask About" button does not submit an application.
