Story
JD is a lover! We have had him since a pup and he turns 10 this September. We went back and forth on if we could keep him, but with the addition of our daughter and future children we cannot give him the attention, time, and love that he needs and deserves. He loves to be active as well as cuddle in bed. He is great to take on runs because he likes to move fast. He is very smart. He is also very food driven. He does not get along with our toddler and it has become difficult to give them both what they need. He is used to going to the bathroom outside 3-4 times a day. We want him to find a safe home with someone who can be better dog parents than us. He is truly a loving dog, but with our lifestyle deserves more. He is still so energetic and agile, you would not believe he will be 10. If you want cuddles, love, and a buddy who always wants to hang out JD is a great dog for you.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Dottie’s story has become the norm. Her owner went to a nursing home and Dottie was left homeless. Her owner loved her a lot…with food, so Dottie is currently on a weight loss journey. She has gone through a lot in a short period of time, but she hasn’t let it get her down. This 4 yr old is past the puppy stage and is potty and crate trained, but would really enjoy sleeping in bed with her new family. She loves meeting people and will show her appreciation by flipping over for a belly rub. Can you be her happily ever after? Adoption fee $400. If you are interested in Dottie please fill out an application at www.adoptablefriends.org
