Story
The white chihuahua has 8 years and has developed a tumor on one of her breast. It is too expensive and it hurts my heart having to give her away for financial reasons and I’m moving away. She is a very lazy and cuddling dog. She is also great with kids, and gets tired after long walks, she’s okay with showers but doesn’t love them.

Story
Roy is a sweet GSP boy!Meet Roy!  This poor guy has had a string of bad luck.  Roy was hit by a car at the end of December, then ended up at the shelter where it was determined that he has a broken hip.  After being rescued 3 weeks later, he was taken to the vet and tested positive for Ehrlichia, in addition to having kennel cough, so he will be on antibiotics for at least a month.  Once he’s cleared for surgery, he will have the necessary surgery to repair his hip.  Despite all he’s been through Roy is all smiles and his foster mom says that he’s too good to be true.  Stay tuned for more on this sweet boy.

Story
Flaco is a handsome GSP gentleman!Meet Flaco! This handsome 8 year-old fella is the perfect age for a GSP – still plenty of energy, but past the crazy stage. He’s described by his foster home as sweet, calm and easygoing. His ideal home will still get him plenty of exercise and also plenty of cuddle time! Due to resource guarding with other dogs, Flaco needs to be the only dog in his home. He can also resort to trying to escape if not properly exercised and left alone. A home that can be home with him a lot is preferred.  A training session with a positive reinforcement trainer will be a required condition of adoption for Flaco. Please complete our adoption questionnaire to meet this sweet shorthair gentleman!
