Although AirTags seem like a simple and affordable way to keep track of your furry friends, experts caution against it. Try these alternatives instead.

DAISY - ADOPTED



My name is Daisy and I am a 3 year old Hound. Like a true hound with big soft velvety ears and a nose that will hunt out snacks on the counter if you leave them out. Now you might think that I am a high energy high needs type of gal but I am not. I match the energy of my home and if you are being lazy then I will be lazy too. I do like to go out and about to sniff all the things. My foster parents love me and say that I am a great girl and if you have a bit of hound experience that would be perfect however I would actually be a good hound starter dog as I am not super duper high maintenance… I just will absolutely eat all things off your counter if you leave them out.

I am good with other dogs and love curling up on the couch with my hound foster brother. He is pretty great to hang out with. I can have another dog in my home or be an only dog. It's alright with me. I've never been around cats but I would probably not like to live with them, it's kinda in our nature to chase small things that move fast and cats are dodgy little things sometimes. I would be fine with kids as long as they are fine with a big goofy hound cuddling up with them for snuggles.

I do go in my crate when I am home alone and I am fine in there. I like to have a nice fuzzy blanket or bed in there for snuggling, I am all about the comfort. I'm learning how to ask how to go out but if let outside on a schedule I will not have any accidents. I would love to have a nice backyard to lay out in the sun. I am not super loud as most people might think but I do let out a good hound bay every now and then when I want to. I have ZERO recall so no off leash for me please. I do however love a good car ride and you can find me curled up in the back seat just waiting till we get to our destination.

If you think that you would be the perfect home for me please fill out the application on the website!

Please be sure to read all the details before applying.

An adoption fee applies for me, $500. I have been spayed, I am vaccinated with my age appropriate vaccinations, been dewormed, been given flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and will come with 30 days of free pet insurance as well as my health certificate.

BRUNO - ADOPTED



Bruno is my name and I am looking for a family to give me my second chance. I am a young guy who is about a year old and I am a Labradoodle, heavy on the Lab lacking on the doodle part. I am supposed to start with all the good things about me and then all the not so great things about me… so please bear with me. I was purchased as a cute puppy and then left in the shelter when I became too much and had little training given to me. Really my ideal home would be a momma who wants to give me all the love in the world and take me on adventures.

I am very much a Lab in all things play. I like to wrestle with other dogs, I like to wrestle with my humans and I love to jump and run. I am learning how to play in water and think that it is pretty neat. Now I am also a bit resource guardy with men, my foster mom can take things away from me but if my foster dad tries no way! We are working on this and I will do a trade but I do eat in my crate so that I feel safe. I am a bit nervous around new people sometimes but that is because I just didn't get much socialization as a little guy. Once I bond with you though we are going to be best friends. I gotta say I do get uncomfortable in large crowds and with a lot of people around so I am looking for a family who is not going to overwhelm me and will have patience for me.I am good with dog savvy kitties but will need to be taught how to behave around them at first. I would be best in a home without younger kiddos.

I love to cuddle, I love to play, I love to go on walks and adventures. I walk pretty great on my leash and have a pretty good recall as well. I travel great in the car too. I am learning to run and play with toys and think it's fun to chase a ball but not to bring it back. I am house trained and only had 2 accidents while transitioning to my foster home. I also am crate trained and hang out in there when my foster mom says I need a bit of a break or its time to eat.

If you think that you would be the perfect home for me please fill out the application on the website!

Please be sure to read all the details before applying.
