Story
Drew is approximately 6 years old and has had the unfortunate history of rehoming and shelter life. Despite that, he is well-trained and has a relaxed personality. You can see in his eyes he wants to be your devoted companion and have that loyalty and security in return. He loves being part of the family, car rides and napping. He does well with two short walks a day and likes the structure of predictable routines. A fenced yard may suffice for outside exercise too. Drew learns quickly but can be distracted by other dogs, not in his household. He can play fetch, heel, and obey most commands. He "waits" to begin eating or to go out the door. He does well with the crate and respects any gates or boundaries. And though he is big, he especially loves curling up in his cozy bed with a blanket. He likes to be near his human companion but is not needy. He is protective and loving and hopefully will get that same protection and love from his next home.

Story
Buster came to us one evening with some injuries from being hit by a car and looked like he hadn't eaten in a while. We took him in, fed him, and doctored his wounds until we were able to get him to the vet. Buster is now back in good health and the most loving dog you will ever meet. He loves to run and play. He enjoys walks around the neighborhood, loves people in general, and loves water. He loves car rides. Buster needs a yard that he can run around and enjoy and someone who can take up a little more time with him. Buster is very active and well-behaved. He has had his shots, microchipped and has been neutered. We only want the best for him and for him to find his forever, loving home.

Story
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to the gorgeous Natasha! A beautiful 4 year old boxer mix dog that life has not treated very well; however, and despite how much she has suffered in her short life, her heart has had the ability to forgive and love people again, especially teenagers. And she proves it by giving you her paw when you get home, wagging her hips and tail at a speed that will surprise you!Tasha loves toys! She enjoys chewing on them and her greatest trophy is to find the squeaker and destroy it! She is also very good at playing fetch, making her an excellent playmate. That is why it is very important for her future family to have a fence yard and a male dogs to play with, considering that she gets along better with our dog Copper than with Maggie.When we are sitting at the table, Tasha will sit next to you and start talking, making sounds that will convince you to give her something from your plate, giving her paw as a thank you.We don't know what has happened in her past, but she gets very nervous when she sees someone running, so you must get her attention using a pet corrector and she will obey you immediately. Tasha also reacts to squirrels and bunnies, so it is recommended to be careful when walking.She is potty trained, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm free and ready to fill your life with pure love and tenderness. If you are strongly interested to give this diamond in the rough a second chance, please write to her foster mom at joshei@hotmail.com.Thank you for reading the story of a baby girl of which it is impossible not to fall in love with!
