Maddie

I'm Maddie! I'm a loving 45lb, 3.5 year old Whippet/Pitbull mix. Not to brag, but I am extremely smart. I am house-trained, crate-trained, and know many commands; sit, down, paw, wait. I'm willing to learn more too if you have a treat, a toy, or some love- I'm not picky. I also love walks and can go for miles and miles. I do not pull on my leash because I want to be right next to you the whole time, not in front. What kind of walk would it be if I'm not even next to you?! This makes me a great running partner! I sometimes get a little too excited if I see something cool, but with a little reminding I'm right back at your side.

Boots

Meet Boots! We are pretty certain there is a Yorkshire Terrier and Pappion his family tree. He's 3 years old and weighs in at 4.6 pounds! He loves to ear rubs, chin scratches, belly rubs and string cheese. Boots enjoys the company of other dogs and people. Boots requires a little warm up time when he meets new people. But if you give him some string cheese, he will put you on the VIP list. Once you are on the VIP list, Boots will become your velcro dog. Boots is crate trained and so far he appears to be house trained. Due to his size, we are discouraging placement with children under the age of 8.
