Hi, my name is Polly. I’m a very sweet and happy Hound who would love to be your new friend. I’m a very good girl who loves everyone. I like other dogs, I’m well behaved and potty trained. I really enjoy going for walks, but I’m not overly active and don’t need tons of exercise. I hope you’ll come and visit me soon.

Story
Nyx is a petite 2-year-old girl who would love to find her new forever home. She is a little shy right now because this is all so new to her, but once she gets to know you, she's so much happier. She's a good girl who is potty trained and crate trained. Nyx might do well with a male canine friend who is her size or bigger, but no smaller or female dogs for her. She's your typical Pittie: a big baby who wants nothing more than to snuggle under a blankie and get some love.

She loves her people so much, but she can be super protective of her toys and food so a home without kids or other animals is the best home for her. She loves to go for walks and really loves snuggle time. Blossom would be a very loyal friend for an adult only home and hopes you will consider her for adoption.My Age: 5 yearsOther dogs: To play with, but not live withCats: NoKids: Teenagers and up**My adoption fee has been partially sponsored!

Story
Pepper is a happy 2-year-old Lab mix who loves everyone he meets. He has lived with young children and did very well with them. Pepper hasn't lived with other animals so we aren't sure how he would do with them. He would have to meet any dog he might live with prior to adoption. He loves attention from his people and just wants to please.
