                                        Jericho
    Jericho is one of the most unique looking dogs we have ever met.  He is short and stocky with the body shape of a Basset Hound with a medium length wire haired coat.  His face looks like a Schn with the scruffy beard and eye brows.  A very cool dog, he is estimated to be between a year and a half to two years old.  However, because he was found as a stray he has all of the "puppy traits" and needs all of the basic training.  A fenced in yard is a MUST for this little man.  Playful, friendly and fun he is good with other dogs and respects cats.  He would do best in an experienced home that is willing to work with him on his basic training.  He will become the best dog ever!  Because of his playfulness, he still is a bit of a jumper so we suggest a home with children over the age of 8 yrs old would be best.
    If you are interested in more information or would like to give Jericho his new forever home, please fill out the adoption application located on the right side of this page.  Once received, one of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer any questions you may have at that time.
Heidi
                                           Heidi
    Heidi is about a year old (we believe possibly less than a year old). Brindle and White Boxer Mix.   She is good w/ other dogs, playful.  High energy, a fenced in back yard would be a must for this little girl.  She won't hurt kitties, but she wants to play with them so much that the kitties don't seem to want to play with her and leave.  She would do best in an active home with children over the age of 10 yrs old.  Only because she is so playful that she may knock over the younger ones by accident.  Heidi is being fostered in a home with many other animals both large and small and gets along with all of them.  She loves to play with the horses while they are being taken care of.  She is very smart and learning her commands quickly.
    If you would like more information on our little Heidi, please fill out the adoption application located on the right side of this page.  Once recieved, one of our volunteers will call you and be able to answer all your questions at that time.

Meet Mattie...she is a female, energetic, happy and playful eight month old puppy.
She will be a medium size dog when she is full grown.
Mattie is both crate trained and house broken. 
She is good with other dogs, cats, and kids.  Due to Mattie's energetic personality we recommend that she be placed in a home with kids who are 10 years and older.
Mattie is still working on her basic obedience skills.
Due to Mattie's energetic nature we prefer to place her in a home with a fenced backyard.
Overall she is a very good girl!
