Bodhi

9-yr-old Border Collie/Corgi mix

Bodhi is a 9-yr-old Border Collie/Corgi mix weighing approximately 35 pounds. This poor boy was kept in an outdoor kennel for over 2 years. He finally was adopted only to have the adopter lose her home and he ended up back but this time on death row. We rescued him at the 11th hour. Understandably he doesn’t totally trust people until he feels comfortable with them. The adopter said that he was lovable, happy and friendly and would even sit on the couch with her and watch TV. He has gotten better adjusted and is happy to be living indoors. His adoption donation is $150 which includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip. He is heartworm negative and on monthly prevention. He has been through so much and is waiting anxiously for his Forever Home.

Cheez

2-year-old Bully mix

Cheez is a 2-year-old Bully mix weighing approximately 30 pounds. He was adopted a year ago and just returned when the owner was moving out of state and was unable to take him. Cheez has had a difficult life. He was rescued from a high kill shelter shortly before his time was up. He had been a bait dog who lived outdoors in a tent and was forced to fight. He really is not a fighter, he actually is very timid. However, he does have to be the only pet. His adoption donation is $250 which includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip. He is heartworm negative and on monthly preventative.

Kash

8-yr-old Corgi mix

Kash is an 8-yr-old Corgi mix weighing 22 pounds. This boy is all muscle! He Is very handsome with his brindle coat and strong body. He is very protective of his owners and does not get along with strangers or other dogs. There was an incident where a minor bite occurred. He was lovable and great in the home but he felt he had to protect his owner when he was being walked. So he is best in a quiet home with a fenced in yard. His adoption donation is $100 which includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip. He is heartworm negative and on monthly prevention. He has great potential so please give him a chance.  

Scooby Doo

3-yr-old Dachshund/Hound mix

Scooby Doo is a 3-yr-old Dachshund/Hound mix weighing 18 pounds. This handsome boy has the body of a Dachshund and the head of a hound, definitely unique. He is a friendly, active, happy, affectionate boy. He gets along with mellow dogs but not hyper ones. He loves people. He has not been cat or child-tested. He is food aggressive so has to be fed separately. He loves to run and play in the yard. His adoption donation is $300 which includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip. Please come to meet this handsome boy.  Don’t forget his Scooby Snacks! Yum!
