Peaches

Breed: Wire Haired Terrier mix
Sex: Female, spayed
Estimated Birth Date: 12/1/2016
Size: Small. She weighs 36 pounds but needs to be 25
Good With Kids: Possibly
Good With Cats: Unknown
Good With Dogs: Fine, but not interested in playing
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Peaches will do best in a calm and quiet home with one or possibly two humans. She hasn’t been well socialized so doesn’t enjoy company or loud noises. Since she is a velcro dog, her person shouldn’t be gone for long periods of time. She’s not really interested in playing with other dogs but has lived with other dogs in the past. She LOVES her walks which will be helpful in trying to get her to a healthy weight. She has lived with a child in the home but would probably be best without one in the home as she adjusts to her new life.

Additional Information: Peaches was surrendered because her owner was having some health issues and could no longer care for her. Peaches was raised with another dogs but wasn’t exposed to other people or dogs outside the home. She is a little nervous meeting new people but is very attached to her person. She knows some commands-sit, leave it, come, gentle, no, inside, outside. She is terrified of fireworks; her new owner will have to be very careful with her on the 4th of July.

Harley

Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: 4/1/2021
Size: Currently 29 pounds but could be around 50 pounds when full grown (this is an estimate!)
Good With Kids: Unknown but most likely fine. He tends to be mouthy like a typical puppy but doesn’t bite.
Good With Cats: Unknown. Due to his age, he could learn to leave them alone. In the interim, his breed instincts may cause him to chase them
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: In progress
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Harley is reactive to tone of voice; he cowers at raised voices. Calm and quiet voices will keep him calm and responsive to you. Positive reinforcement is a must when training him. Aussies are very intelligent dogs and will require exercise and mental stimulation. He loves spending time with his people, taking a walk or snuggling on the couch. He will gaze at you adoringly when you’re making dinner, lay his head in your lap during quiet time, and expect hugs after a night in his crate.

Additional Information: Harley is learning to walk on a leash and is doing quite well. He does not appreciate the leash being attached to his collar; he requires a harness instead. He likes to steal clothes and shoes so be sure to keep these items picked up. Gently take the contraband and give him an acceptable toy instead.

Levi

Breed: Beagle/Catahoula Leopard Dog mix
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birthdate: 6/1/2015
Size: Large. He currently weighs 65 pounds but needs to be closer to 50 pounds
Good With Kids: No
Good With Cats: No
Good With Dogs: No
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Levi just wants to be loved. He is very affectionate and likes to be with his people. He will howl a little in his crate when he gets lonely so apartment life is not for him. He loves going on walks and needs a walking buddy to help him shed those unwanted pounds. He likes to go to the dog park and play with other dogs.

Additional Information: Levi was adopted from us in June 2018. Levi’s world was turned upside down when his humans added a baby to the home. His family no longer had enough time for him so they returned him to us. This very smart boy knows a number of commands, including-sit, down, jump up, paw. He walks really well on a leash and loves going on car rides.
