Meet Kai
Mixed Male
Partially Sponsored Adoption to Approved Homes!
Meet Kai! He is not your typical lab mix. He is very strong, very high energy, stubborn and a picky eater. He walks well on a leash but will need a very active family. He gets bored easy and always needs something to engage him. He is very intelligent and protective of everything he loves. He would do best in a family with no small children because he is big and goofy and doesn't realize his size. He would do best as an only dog or someone that understands dog behavior. Because he is an attention hog and gets jealous easily. If you have the need for a bull-headed big lab mix boy, Kai is your dog. Get me your application ASAP.

Gaia
Meet the gorgeous Princess Gaia! She is an extremely vocal girl that loves to hear herself sing and is also extremely energetic! She isn’t the most fond girl of other dogs, so I’m thinking she wants a solo career singing to the beat of her own band. She is exceptionally sweet and would do best in a home with no children and an active lifestyle. She would require a fully fenced yard and no apartments or rentals due to the breed or size restrictions from most landlords.
If you would like to meet Princess Gaia, please get me your application ADAP.

Zeus

Zeus is Heart Worm positive and is currently undergoing treatment. We are looking for a foster to adopt or foster home for him during his treatment. He will need a quiet home, no small children or to be overly exerted. If you are interested, please get me your application ASAP.

Meet Chowder
female, altered one year old, potty and crate trained
Meet Chowder. Chowder is a very strong spirited young girl that is a very quick learner and needs help with training. She is very high energy, and a fenced yard is a requirement. The perfect fit for Chowder would be a very active lifestyle person or couple that would want a dog to be a companion to go on car rides and play ball or take on walks or go camping. Chowder is dog selective so would do best as an only dog home. Since she is so strong, I would say an adult only home at this point. She will be going to dog training classes soon as well. To meet Chowder or learn more about her, please contact me ASAP. SL268240
