Story
This handsome guy is around a year old and was found on a rural country road. We believe he may have been dumped off as he stayed in the same spot for over a week. A great person used our live trap and trapped him hoping to make him one of her pack, however, her dogs would not accept Duke and he ended up with us and is now seeking a forever family. He seems to like other dogs and even the barn cats here he wasn't too concerned with. We aren't sure he has ever lived indoors, but really sticks with you once he knows you are a friend.  ##2672086##

Story
We got Milo from a rescue when he was 6 weeks old, he is about 1yr 5mo now. He has had professional obedience training, where he stayed with the trainer for 6 weeks. He is high energy and needs a family that will play with him and either takes him on daily runs or has a place for him to run. He is an aggressive chewer, but does well if provided with toys. He is very loving and thrives on attention. He has had exposure to other dogs and cats and interacts well. He has been around younger children and interacts well with them also. He is crate trained and sleeps in the crate every night. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Bored & frustrated jealous anytime she thinks I'm giving attention to other dog. will chew eat destroy anything she gets in her mouth also a jumper tho not on people as much as just up in air IV has lots of potential needs lots of love n attention that she'll give back She does need "reinforcement" training cuz I can't be consistent as needed.

Story
Teddy is a very kind, kid friendly dog who loves to play but also loves to lounge around and relax. He is about 2 years old and 60lbs and has a silly clumsy personality that will make you laugh. He is very affectionate and loves to give licks to all his friends. He will bask in any attention you give him. His calm temperament and fairly quiet nature makes him a great companion, in and out of the home. He is kennel trained but would love a home that has friends to play with!

Blu is a 1.5-year-old bundle of joy with a whole lot of love to give. He’s super affectionate and thrives on attention, always ready to lean in for pets or show off his goofy side. Playtime is one of his favorite things, and his happy, playful energy is contagious. Blu *loves* food (obviously) and is friendly, good-natured, and easy to be around. He also walks well, making him a great companion for strolls or adventures. We’re still getting to know Blu, but so far he’s showing himself to be a sweet, fun-loving dog who would make a wonderful addition to a lucky home. 🐾
