Story
This spotted cutie is Waylon!Waylon was recently surrendered from a multi-dog household after his previous family could no longer care for him. He is a friendly, energetic pup who is looking for an active home ready to keep both his brain and body busy. Waylon has been an absolute angel with our staff and has been easy to handle. He can be a little anxious when meeting new people, but offer him a treat and you’ll quickly become his new best friend.Despite his large size, Waylon is surprisingly well-mannered on leash and has done excellent in a securely fenced area. He is probably not a good candidate for a tie-out. Waylon is still working on house-training, but he is young, smart, and very eager to please, making him a great candidate for continued training.We do not know if Waylon has experience with cats or young children, but given his friendly nature, we believe he could do well with proper introductions.Waylon is available for immediate adoption and ready to find a family that can keep up with his fun-loving, adventurous spirit!

Binx is a 1 year old Aussie mix. She was caught after she was dumped on a state road. She has a badly injured leg. It is now healed. We did an Embark DNA test on her. The results are in the photos. She is a very sweet active girl. She requires an active home. A family that could do agility with her would be the best for her. She must have a secured fenced in yard. Binx is spayed, up to date on shots, rabies and heartworm negative and on prevention. She walks good on a leash and knows her basic commands. She loves to snuggle in bed with you. She gets a little anxious in a crate but enjoys a kong to help her relax. Her adoption fee is $425 ##2575367##

Silas was rescued at 12 weeks of age. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle and give kisses. He does well with houstraining if he is walked every couple of hours. His birthdate is 5/18/2022. He started agility training in the back yard and caught on to a couple of things. He is very intelligent. He loves to play in his kiddie pool when the weather is nice outside. Silas does need a lot attention as aussies are very smart and need a job to do. He loves puzzle toys He quickly becomes someone's friend after they greet him with a treat. As a herding dog, he does not do well with cats or other small animals as he thinks of them as a job to chase. He does do well with other dogs. Silas needs a new home as his current mom has been diagnosed with serious health conditions and is no longer capable of caring for a dog with high energy. He will go home with a bag of food and his favorite toys.
