Dakota, German shepherd
This friendly girl would do best in a home with older children and needs a fenced yard. She gets along with other dogs but sometimes play rough. She still has work to do on her house manners and will require a patient owner with the time to train her.
Baby Lacy, Plott hound and Airedale terrier mix
Baby Lucy is a big girl and not even a year old. She is not good walking with a leash and collar yet and will require some training. From what we've observed, she is an obedient and very chill dog.
Graham Cracker, chihuahua and miniature pinscher mix
This friendly, playful chihuahua weighs about 10 pounds. He's super sweet, loves to be held and seems to be good around other dogs. This Graham Cracker could be the affectionate treat your home needs.
Julie James, American bulldog
Julie is a sweet, happy pooch that weighs about 65 pounds. She enjoys playtime, especially with her favorite toys. Although she has lived with a large male dog, we are not sure how she'll fare around new dogs.
Susie, Shih Tzu
Susie is a happy healthy senior girl that is looking for her perfect forever home. She had her eyes surgically removed due to severe glaucoma. We work to rehabilitate and rehome dogs like Susie who have special needs and have been dealt different circumstances in life. Apply today to adopt her.
