This handsome young man is Guinness, our 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix.  He's got a lot of energy and affection for people.  Cattle Dogs are one of the most intelligent breeds and need to be part of the action! They are loyal, protective and alert. This wonderful boy walks well on his leash and is completely house trained.  Guinness loves to play.  He can catch a ball in mid-air and enjoys all types of toys.  He also likes to just relax, be pet, and chew on a rawhide.  Obedience training, a 6 foot privacy fence, and children 6+ are required for Guinness.  Come meet this lively fellow! Guinness is present on Sundays for interviews, but on Wednesdays, please call for an appointment.

 

 

 

This sweet girl is Dolly.  She is about 1 year old and very playful and snuggly.  Her markings are a beautiful copper color and she’s SO soft.  Children who live with Dolly should be at least 5 years old and Dolly’s yard should have a 5 foot privacy fence so she can play safely.  Dolly has excellent house manners.  She is house trained, crate trained and quiet in the home.  Obedience training is required for this little lady so that she becomes even better behaved.  She gets along well with other dogs, too!  Please come in during adoption hours and spend a little time with Dolly – she will steal your heart!

 

 

 

 

Bonita - is a precious, little angel!  She is a 1 year old female Chihuahua who is calm, quiet, affectionate, and loves to be cuddled.  She is very playful and will fetch small toys – she’s really adorable when she plays!  Children at Bonita’s house should be 8+ and she would like a home where she isn’t left alone for long periods of time.  Bo loves human companionship – more than that of other dogs.  Included here is some breed research that might prove helpful: The Chihuahua is a good companion dog. Courageous, extremely lively, proud and adventurous, they enjoy affection. Chihuahua's can be strong-willed without the proper human leadership. Socialize them well. An owner who realizes this and treats the Chihuahua no differently than they would a large breed, becoming a clear pack leader, will get an appealing temperament out of this wonderful little dog, finding them to be very good companions.

 

 

 

Skippy is a fun fellow!  He is a 1 year old Terrier mix who will keep you on your toes and make a great playmate for the whole family.  He’s cute as a button and very good natured.  Skippy’s new home should come with a fenced yard and children who are 5 years or older.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This sweet little guy is Spencer.  He is a one year old terrier mix who is quite a lot of fun to be around.  He is energetic, but he also LOVES to be cuddled and pet.  He’s very gentle and good natured.  Children who live with Spencer should be 5 years or older.  Spencer’s new home should have a fenced yard so he can run around and play.  He would also like to go to obedience training to bond with his new family and learn all of his basic commands.  Please come visit with Spencer and let him give you some sweet kisses – your heart will melt!

REMEMBER: A dog is not a toy or an object, it is a living, loving, caring, FEELING being. Adoption means making him/her an important part of your family, and committing to it's care for ALL of the rest of it's life.
