Check out all the cute 🥰 🐶

Cider, Mocha, and Cocoa are absolutely precious and they want to go home with you! Just in time for the holidays!

These 7ish week old lab mixes (with something small) are just perfect. ❤️🐶 Mocha is an outgoing and energetic little girl! Cocoa is a sweet and laidback girl! Cider is a timid and cautious little boy!

They’ve been dewormed, microchipped, and will get their first puppy vaccine this week.

Adorable 6 month old hound puppy… Boone!

This handsome guy is pretty cool once he warms up to you. He thrives with consistency and loves routine. He gets along with all the other dogs, cats and even pigs! He’s definitely submissive, and at times, completely oblivious to the other dogs body language. He gets nervous around new people but it fades with trust and consistency.
Boone is crate trained, although he does still “excited tinkle”. He’s close to 100% house trained and kind of getting the hang of leash walking. He’s also microchipped, neutered and up to date with core vaccines and dewormer.
This most handsome hound is ready to meet his forever people who understand that he needs a very slow introduction to everything. ❤️🐶

Call or text 252-232-8228 for an appointment to meet Boone!

Our main man Bravo isn’t feeling well this morning. He’s displaying signs of colic which is an emergency, especially for a guy his age. The vet is here and he’s receiving treatment ❤️ thank you Dr. Shanna with The Oaks Equine and Farm Service!

Please donate to our sweet old man’s care 🙏❤️🐴 he has become everyone’s favorite lesson pony and we need help!

Stay tuned for updates 🤞🙏

5:00pm update: Bravo has improved from this morning! He is in much better spirits, passing gas, and some liquid stool. He is, of course, not out of the woods, but these are all great signs. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers while we check on him around the clock overnight.

Midnight update: more meds and his third very small helping of “Timothy soup”. He’s still in good spirits and on his feet. ❤️

Morning update: he’s nickering for more soup, has one nicely formed p**p, and he’s going back out to graze 🤞

Monday update: our guy seems back to normal! 🤞❤️🐴
