This is Bronson, our 2 year old Amstaff mix. If his pic looks like a mug shot it's because he just came in and he's very sad, so of course, he will be counting on you to come in and rescue him. We don't have a good feel for his personality yet since he's still be pretty scared, but we will be sure to update when he settles in a little. Bronson will require breed knowledge, dog school and a fenced yard. Children 8 and up. Oh yea, and no cats.

 

 

 

 

This is Rufus, a 1.5 year old male American Staffordshire Terrier mix.  He's a good boy - very gentle and affectionate.  Rufus is happy and healthy - already neutered and all set to find a loving, forever home.  He'd like his children to be age 7 and up and to be the best dog he can possibly be, he's required to have some obedience training.  If you'd like to meet sweet Rufus, please do some breed research, have a fenced yard, and come in during adoption hours.  He will be very pleased to make your acquaintance!

 

 

 

 

This handsome young man is Guinness, our 1 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. An excellent guard dog. Brave and trustworthy. Very good in the obedience ring as well as in herding and agility. Can be obedience trained to a very high level. Firm training from the start and a lot of daily leadership, along with daily mental and physical exercise will produce a fine and happy pet.  Australian Cattle Dogs are absolutely loyal and obedient to their master, but are sometimes a one-person dog.  Obedience training, a 6 foot privacy fence, and children 6+ are required for Guinness.  Come meet this lively fellow!

 

 

 

 

Nikko is a 4 month old male Labrador mix.  He has all the sweet qualities that Labs are known for.  He is gentle, snugly, and playful.  He loves to be loved!  He is a very smart puppy and learns new commands quickly.  He is good with other dogs, and he is respectful and well behaved around cats - he has been great with Jasmine - he is also very good in the car. Nikko will need a fenced yard for his protection, puppy training to be a true gentleman, and his children should be 6+.  Nikko is just starting his life and it would be so wonderful for him to grow up in a home with a family rather than an animal shelter.
 

 

 

 

Juno is a 4 month old Shepherd / Husky mix.  This mixed breed makes a wonderful, well-rounded pet.  Juno loves to play - typical puppy.  He is beautiful and growing up quickly.  He loves attention and likes to be pet.  Because of his energy level, children should be 10+.  He will be required to have a fenced yard and puppy obedience school so he can learn all of his manners.  Juno may still need a little help with house training.  Please come and meet Juno - he would so like to get out of the kennel and into a real home with a loving family who will care for him all of his life.
 

 

 

Kira is a beautiful young lady.  She is a Yellow Laborador / American Staffordshire Terrier mix.  At 1 year old, she is very playful, yet loving.  She likes to snuggle and be pet and showered with affection.  She walks well on a leash, is house trained, and yearning for her forever home with a loving family.  Could that family be yours?  To be a good match for Kira, you need to be prepared by having a fenced yard, have children that are 7 or over, and agree to take Kira to obedience training to help her be the most perfect pet!  Come see for yourself how pretty and sweet our Kira is.
 

 

 

 

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.
