Story
Riley and her sister were taken from their home because they were not treating them right. Both girls are very much underweight and were living of trash in the yard. They were out on tie out cables. Both girls are sweet as ever and want all the attention they can get. Riley is such a all of fun and energy. Would do best in an active family with another doggie friend. Riley does play rough with other dogs so she will need another rough playmate or a tolerating dog. She is not mean towards cats but may accidentally hurt one with her energy and play style. She is spayed, house trained and fully up to date. She has been here over a year now and would really like to find a home soon! Really enjoys belly rubs! Adoption fee is $100

Story
On 8/31/2023 we went to a home and saved 11 dogs from being starved to death. There were 4 adults and 7 pups. The pup were almost 6 months old and were the size and weight of 3 month old babies. The owners were joking around and saying "they look fine "that's their breed. Meanwhile these puppies were skin stretched over bone. Some were so weak they couldn't walk. Momma was caged out back with no shelter, food or water. We saved them just in time. Another day or two a few of the puppies would have passed away. We held them for months and months till court was held. The owner was charged and we gained custody of the dogs. We were to grateful to finally own these precious souls and find them good homes like they should have had to begin with. Beamer is such a ham and a big chunky monkey now. He is very playful and loves to get a good belly rub. He has a bit of stranger danger from his past trauma so whoever adopts him will need to spend some time with him prior to taking him home. Once he trust you he loves you forever! He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. Partially house trained. Dog selective so meet and greet required. Adoption fee is $100
