Vasi, shepherd mix
Vasi is a charming female shepherd mix currently housed at K-9 Lifesavers.
Vasi loves kids, dogs and cats. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she's been spayed. She has mastered her house-training etiquette.
Here's what Vasi's friends at K-9 Lifesavers think of her:
Vasi was adopted from K-9 Lifesavers a couple of years ago. At the time, she was very shy and timid and had no idea how to play. Over time, she gradually understood that she could run, play and enjoy the company of other dogs. She began to smile. Vasi walks well on leash, she rarely notices squirrels and her favorite thing in the world is to be with her people. Vasi is fine in a home with a cat. Vasi would love a family that has time to give her lots of attention and love and one that will be patient while she adjusts to her life and home.

Blue, American bulldog and terrier mix
Blue is a sweet male American bulldog and terrier mix in the care of K-9 Lifesavers.
Blue is the life of the party — he'll get along great with your other dogs. He's already neutered and vaccinated. He's also house-trained.
More about Blue:
I am a handsome boy and I know it. I love kisses, snuggles and being in your personal space. I am good with kids, but can sometimes get too excited, so I may not be so good with little ones, as I tend to knock them down. I love to play with other dogs, as long as they want to play with me. If you're looking for a stud and a cuddle bug, I'm your boy.

Phil, German shepherd and Basset hound mix
Phil is a male German shepherd and Basset hound mix being cared for at East Coast Corgi Rescue.
Phil needs special time to bond with you. He'll need a home free of other dogs and children. He's already house-trained and he has been vaccinated.
More about Phil:
I’m shy at first when I meet new people, and I may take a little bit of time to warm up to you. I can be protective of my family and home, and little children scare the Milk-Bones out of me. But my foster mama says that once I get over my shyness, I am very playful and I love to cuddle.

McGuyver, beagle mix
McGuyver is a sweet male beagle mix currently housed at City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties.
McGuyver is eager to make friends. He is already neutered, and he has all his shots. He is already house-trained.
Here's what McGuyver's friends at City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties think of him:
He would do best as an only dog or with a larger, mellow dog. And because he's anxious, he'd do best in a home without children. McGuyver is a sweet boy who loves to snuggle in bed and play fetch. He's playful, but also calm and good in a crate. He has a beautiful full coat and a happy smile. McGuyver is fearful, but is doing great with the help of medication and needs a family that will build on this progress.

Molly, beagle mix
Molly is a female beagle mix being cared for at K-9 Lifesavers.
Molly will get along great with your cats. No other dogs, please. Molly is looking for a home without small children. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she has been spayed.
From Molly's current caretaker:
Sweet Molly's person passed away and she is in need of a new home. She absolutely loves a relaxed household where she can lounge and have her own space. She would prefer a home with older (teenage) children or an adults-only home without too much commotion. Molly is a mellow girl who likes leisurely walks and doesn't demand constant attention.

Boh, boxer and hound mix
Boh is a male boxer and hound mix being kept at K-9 Lifesavers.
Boh loves other dogs. He's been neutered and vaccinated. He's already house-trained.
Boh's current caretakers say:
This boy is the whole package. He's house-trained, crate-trained, familiar with doggy daycare, gets along with other dogs and is great with kids. He is a big, happy, exuberant boy, so he would likely do better with slightly bigger kiddos so he won't accidentally knock them over. He knows basic commands, but needs some leash training. He loves to run in the yard and would do best in a home with a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs.
