Max, terrier mix

Max is a darling male terrier mix currently residing at Bull luv able Paws and Chi Wawas Rescue.

Max loves other dogs. He is looking for cat-free family. He has been vaccinated and neutered. No need to worry: He is already house-trained.

Max's current caretakers say:

This boy is as cute as they get. Max is good with people and other dogs! Max needs a home with a yard and with a doggie sibling. He loves to run around play outside and sunbathe. He can be a little apprehensive with some men, so a patient home who is willing to work with him on that is a must! Max will need continued socializing with other dogs to gain confidence!

Libby, hound mix

Libby is a female hound mix being kept at Cody's Friends Rescue.

Libby is a social animal — she loves other dogs. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She already has had all of her shots, and she is spayed.

Notes from Libby's caretakers:

Libby has come out of her shell after some loving and giving her some space. She is a gorgeous girl with beautiful hazel eyes. She is 5 or 6 months old but not hyper at all. She is low key and mild-mannered. She will be a little shy at first but with TLC and support, she will be a great addition to any home. She is happy and alert.

Otis, bloodhound

Otis is a male bloodhound dog being cared for at South Central Bloodhound Club.

Otis does great with children — he's a real "people pet." Have no fear: He's already house-trained. He has been vaccinated and neutered.

Otis' current caretakers say:

Otis was adopted 5 years ago but his owner was recently arrested.  Otis used to be fostered with other dogs but we're more comfortable moving him to an only dog home for now. He has an odd behavior where he has to have a night light; he can't be left in the dark. (Yes his eyes are fine on exam).

Bree, Australian shepherd mix

Bree is a female Australian shepherd mix in the care of Cody's Friends Rescue.

Bree likes to socialize, and she gets along well with other dogs. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She is already vaccinated and spayed.

From Bree's current caretaker:

Bree  is shy and timid but learning how to trust. She is a gorgeous dog. Bree gets along with other dogs but is not a player thus far. She is warming up to humans. She will take some patience but she will be a great best friend. She would probably do best in a quieter home with older children.

Beauty, corgi and Labrador retriever mix

Beauty is an adorable female corgi and Labrador retriever mix in the care of Cody's Friends Rescue.

Beauty gets along well with other dogs. Beauty is looking for a home without small children. She's already house-trained. Beauty is spayed and vaccinated.

Beauty's current caretakers say:

Beauty is a Lab/Corgi mix, with maybe with a little Chow-Chow thrown in. She's very much still a puppy: Playful and rambunctious and up for any kind of nonsense! She will benefit from some training and structure to learn proper manners around the little humans, so for now we're recommending an adult-only environment.  She's improving every day!

Callie is a sweet female Labrador retriever and terrier mix in the care of Cody's Friends Rescue.

Here's what Callie's friends at Cody's Friends Rescue think of her:

Callie is the most awesome, loveable sweet dog ever! She is a bit timid but just melts into your body when she is given the chance and just wants love. She gets along with all dogs and has zero aggression with anyone or anything. She is a total jewel.
