Look Who Wants A Home For Christmas...

Check out these wonderful dogs and puppies!

The wonderful dogs and puppies below are looking for forever families, is that you?:

Lacy, Female, Hound mix, about 10 weeks old

Lacy is a striking puppy with beautiful patches of brindle on her face and paws! She is a tiny thing (for now), but that doesn't let it stop her. She is adventurous and loves to explore her surroundings, inside and out.

Lacy hasn't met a dog that she doesn't like! She is always ready to play with her foster siblings and isn't afraid of dogs much bigger than her. She also LOVES people. She is extremely friendly and is always eager to be scooped up so she can wiggle and happily gives out tons of kisses. She even gets carried around by small kids and enjoys it!

Ciroc, Female, about 4-5 months old, Lab/Hound/Mix

Ciroc is a very happy puppy that loves to explore and play. She is very smart and cuddly and loves to romp around the house and play with the other dogs in her foster family. She even plays nice with the cat! She is a good puppy that listens well and is quickly catching on to housebreaking.

Ace Jordan, Male, About 4 Months Old, Lab/Aussie/Heinz 57!

Ace Jordan is a sweet 4 month old male pup. He is very loving and loves to run to you for affection. He does well with other puppies and dogs and has not been around cats. He is mostly housebroken, sleeps through the night and adapts well to change. Ace is working on basic commands and catching on quickly. He does well in crate when needed during the day and has been sleeping through the night in his crate. Ace Jordan will be a great addition to any family!

Hank the Tank! Male, Approx. 40-50 lbs., Pit Mix, Approx. 3-5 yrs old

Hank the Tank is a handsome boy who traveled to safety from a high kill shelter in Arkansas. He arrived here and has been making us all smile and laugh with his amazing personality! He really enjoys looking at his reflection in the mirror and making grunting noises as he sniffs the ground. He also snores while he sleeps!!

Tank is just that, a short and stocky boy who is ALL DOG! He loves to play with other dogs that are his size or larger. He does NOT do well with animals that are smaller than he is. This includes small dogs, cats, birds and small animals such as lizards, squirrels and chipmunks.

Tank LOVES people and enjoys cuddling and being close to his family. He has great house behaviors and would be an excellent addition to any family! He is housebroken, crate trained and walks well on a leash.

Falcor, Male, Approx. 9 mths-1 yr old, About 65-70 lbs., English Setter/Lab/Mutt

Falcor is a big sweet submissive baby, 95% house broken and listens very well. He is very responsive to his foster dad and just wants to please him! He loves to play with other dogs and is very affectionate towards people. Falcor is a bit too interested in his foster home's cat and while he enjoys a good chase, when he's tired out, he loves to snuggle up and take a nap with her.

He’s learning quickly to stay off counters and to be careful with his mouth when he's playing. He still has plenty of puppy in him and will find trouble when not supervised. As with any dog his age, he will need a family who can continue his training to make him into a great canine citizen. With his eagerness to please, we don't think that he will be hard to continue training.
