Story
We have only had this beautiful girl for about a month. She has came from home where she has been abused she acts like she has been beat and mistreated she is so very sweet but so scared. She is such a good little dog. She is house trained and spayed. Her front teeth have been chewed down to the roots but he back teeth are fine, the vet thought it could have been where she was left in a cage or kennel for so long. I just want to find her a good calm loving home that she deserves. She loves to be outside and very calm when indoors.

Story
We adopted Jeff from a kill shelter in 2018 who stated he was a year old then. So he is approximately a little over 2 now. He was very nervous when we first got him but has got better about that. He still has some separation anxiety, although, and chews up things that my husband touches. He has been a farm dog since we got him and allowed to him be free on our land. He has been around chickens, cats, cows, and horses and does well. We hope someone takes him in who has the time to love him and better help his anxiety. He’s a very loving, caring dog that just needs more time spent with him.

Story
Ruby is approximately 2 years old. She is a Redbone Coonhound mix. She LOVES to run, play fetch (she'll fetch for hours) and chase squirrels in the yard. We have a 1.5 acre fenced in yard for Ruby and she will run around it for hours! In the evenings, she loves to cuddle inside with us (she has the softest fur), and is so loving and sweet. She loves affection. She is friendly to all people and plays with our other dog. She gets very excited to meet new people, so she's still learning not to jump. We are searching for a new home for Ruby because, due to financial reasons, we have to sell our house and move into a rental for a while. We know that Ruby needs a big outdoor space to play and we just can't give her that anymore. We just can't allow her to be cooped up in a small rental unit all day and then have nowhere to run; she wouldn't be happy. I won't adopt her out to anyone who is going to keep her in a crate. She needs a lot of outdoor time, space to run and play, and lots of love.
