Blue, American bulldog and terrier mix
Blue is a darling male American bulldog and terrier mix currently housed at K-9 Lifesavers.
Blue gets along well with other dogs. He's neutered and vaccinated. He's already house-trained.
More about Blue:
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.

Here's what Rachel's friends at K-9 Lifesavers think of her:
Ever since she was a puppy, she had tummy issues, and after multiple trips to the vet, she was diagnosed with pancreatic issues. She is on medication and a special diet and her tummy is now in perfect shape. She is a wonderful sweet girl, who has been in foster home with children and other dogs and is well socialized, friendly and adorable.

Phil, German shepherd and Basset hound mix
Phil is a sweet male German shepherd and Basset hound mix currently residing at East Coast Corgi Rescue.
Phil wants to be your one and only: He'll need a home free of other dogs and children. He is already house-trained. Phil is 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 has been vaccinated and neutered. He's already house-trained.
McGuyver's current caretakers say:
McGuyver is friendly, affectionate, energetic, a snuggler, playful, goofy. He would do best as an only dog or with a larger mellow dog. 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.

Toby, terrier mix
Toby is an adorable male terrier mix being cared for at K-9 Lifesavers.
Toby is a social butterfly, and he'll get along with your other dogs. No need to worry: He has already been house-trained. Toby is already neutered and vaccinated.
Notes from Toby's caretakers:
Toby is a bundle of fun. He is an outgoing fella once he gets to know you. He can be a little timid with new people, but it doesn't take him long to warm up. Toby is currently in a foster home with another dog and is doing great. He is new at this whole living with another dog thing, so he is still learning his boundaries ... but he can be redirected pretty easily.
