Story
Lexi & Haley are sisters and we had them since they were 3 weeks old. Haley is the brown one with the floppy ear, she was born like that and Lexi is the black one. They are 10 years old and we never had any problems with them. They will lick you to death and love smelling you. Never hurt anyone or another animal. Unfortunately our family has come into some health problems and can no longer care for them like they deserve. They need to stay together since it will be cruel to separate them now. Lexi loves to just sit next to you and watch while her sister plays around. Haley is more active. It is going to be very difficult to see them go but at this moment we are doing what is best for their interest and need them to have a happy home.

Story
Cora came to me from a rescue in Arkansas a few Christmases ago. Our best guest is that she is 2 1/2 years old. For the most part she is a good dog. She loves to sit with you and sleep on her blankie at the end of your bed. She does not like to be bothered when she eats but she sits until you tell her it’s “ok.” I feel she may be ok with another dog, but she would prefer a childless home. She is up to date with all her shots.
