Meet Powell, a super cute male beagle/hound mix puppy! Mama Paulina is a beagle mix, weighing about 35 lbs. We don't know who dad is, but we think he may be a Plott hound or similar. We expect Powell and his siblings to grow to medium sized dogs. Powell is a typical happy, playful puppy who loves everyone! Good with dogs, cats, people, and kids. Young puppies are like blank slates who, with proper training and socialization, will grow into wonderful dogs. The P puppies are medically up to date (age appropriate), and are ready for their furever homes. We are accepting applications on them now! ##2187816##

Story

Meet Millie, a super cute 8 month old spayed female poodle/doodle mix, weighing about 50 lbs! Millie is a sweet, happy girl who is good with other dogs, people, and kids (we recommend older kids as she is a big girl who is not aware of her size, and she may unintentionally knock over a small child). She has not been cat tested, so we are unsure ho she would do with cats. She is housebroken, she uses a dog door at her foster home in TN. She currently attends doggie daycare and does great with dogs of all sizes and ages! She is crate trained but does not love the crate. She has some separation anxiety, which her foster mom has been working on her with. She is learning that the crate is a safe space where she gets special treats! Apply to meet this sweet girl today! ##2189542##

Ellie is around 2-3 years old, she weighs approximately 45lbs, Right now, she is still in animal control as she is looking for her forever home, her time there is limited so if you are interested her in her, please contact us immediately, she has been sweet with everybody she has met in animal control. She also does well with all other dogs, her best friend is moose, and although they are not a bonded pair, if you were looking for two dogs, they would be perfect together.
