Ivory, 1 years old (F) - Boxer Mix
Ivory is a super smart and energetic 42 pounds pup who loves to play and then settle in for a good snuggle session. She's the perfect combination of a cuddle bug and an active companion. She needs someone who is home a lot or has a good set up for leaving her, as she's not a fan of the crate. She would do best with an active family or individual who can keep up with her energy and give her plenty of exercise and attention. She is potty trained per her previous foster!
Dogs: Meet & Greet Required. Would do best with another high energy dog.
Cats: No cats or Small Animals
Kids: Children 12 + due to energy level & rough play at times
Other: Looking for a homebody that doesn't leave her for extended periods of time while she is adjusting to her new environment.

Coco, 2 years old (F) - Pit Mix
She’s a playful and affectionate girl, as she loves going on walks, chasing toys, and snuggling up on the couch. Coco truly has the perfect balance of playful energy and snuggly personality! Coco would make an amazing addition to any loving home - all she asks is to be the only pet in the home and meet any kiddos prior to going home with you.
