Story
Fezzik....how do we even begin to describe a dog like him? Fezz is a 4 year old brown/grey Staffordshire bull terrier. He is large and in charge and looking for love. Weighing in at an impressive 87 pounds, he`s big and happy and friendly and snorty, but he`s also strong and stubborn so he needs someone who can physically manage him. This behavior becomes the most pronounced when he has attached himself to his favorite toy-of-the-day; he resource-guards it until the thrill wears off so staff has learned to leave him alone while he gets it out of his system. When the adrenaline has subsided, the chosen toy is left in shambles and he`s ready to socialize once again. He is very motivated....for attention, for toys, for SQUEAKER toys, for food.....as long as it`s not fruit. This man won`t miss a meal but he draws the line at the healthy stuff! Fezzik loves all the outdoor things, too....playing in the water, rolling around in the grass, army-crawling to scratch his belly on the ground. Staff reports that he`s a leg lifter outside, that he does the cutest little tap dance when he`s excited, and that he`s pretty easy to please and entertain. Because Fezzik can guard his toys and food until he`s decided he`s done, he is not for a first-time dog owner. Fezz would be a great companion for someone with dog experience who can handle a big lug like him and can read his cues and give him space when he wants it.

Story
We are needing to rehome our sweet Phoebe. Phoebe was born (we were told) in Feb 2018, but we have no official documentation of her birth date. She is 6.5 years old and weighs about 50 pounds. When we adopted her we were told she is a border collie/boxer mix. We did get her DNA tested a few years ago because we were curious and the results are shown in the pictures. She has 2 sides to her: cuddly, lazy, couch potato and happy, excited, puppy-like-energy. If you want a cuddle dog, she’s the dog for you. She is the cuddliest, sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. She loves curling up on the couch or in bed with you. On the flip side, she loves to run and play and is pure muscle. She has been known to jump and climb! We haven’t had the time the past few years since having babies to give her to attention, training, and exercise that she needs and deserves.

Story
This handsome guy is Bob the Builder! He is a 2 year old English Bulldog. He was picked up as a stray with large sores all over his back that appeared to be some kind of chemical burn. Since he has been here with us he has improved exponentially! He still has some progress to make but he isn`t letting that slow him down. He LOVES all the attention he can get and as many treats as he can convince you to give him!
