Breed: Catahoula mix Age: 4 months Weight: will grow to medium size about 50 lbs. Good with dogs:yes Good with cats:yes Good with kids:yes Energy Level: puppy energy Available for Adoption: Your application must be approved prior to meeting any dog. PUPPIES GROW INTO the expectations of their families through consistent love, caring and training. Puppies cannot be adopted to homes where they are left alone for more than 3-4 hours. Families with children must have established boundaries for both the puppy and the children. PLEASE REMEMBER: The specific breed of any dog abandoned to a shelter or rescue is only the best informed determination of rescue in agreement with our veterinarians. Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities Forget about your worries and your strife I mean the bare necessities Old Mother Nature's recipes That brings the bare necessities of life Wherever I wander, wherever I roam I couldn't be fonder of my big home. - from ' The Bare Necessities' (sung by Baloo) Disney's 'The Jungle Book" Sadly, many pups are simply dropped off at overcrowded shelters because the owner thinks they are sick and won't take them to see a vet. This is what happened to this absolutely precious boy Baloo. Baloo is 4 month old Catahoula mix weighing 25 lbs, he likely will not get any bigger than 50 lbs when full grown. Our sweet Baloo was dumped at a southern shelter because the humans who failed him thought he was going to die. Turns out all he needed was some routine medicine for parasites. This was probably the best thing that so far had ever happened to Baloo. He got the medicine he needed and was pulled by rescue and placed in a loving foster home where he has thrived. Baloo is doing great with house and crate training. He's a cuddle bug to the max and loves everyone he meets. Baloo is great with other dogs, cats, and he's really good with kids. Like most puppies, he loves to run and play so a family who wants to take him on daily adventures and enjoys playing would be a great fit. Baloo is already neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, current on preventatives and micro chipped. Baloo may very well be perfectly happy with the bare necessities but we think he deserves so much more! We would love to see Baloo make his way into his forever family's hearts and home where he will be loved, adored, and truly be a part of the family. Baloo has a lot of love and loyalty to give and he'd sure like to share it with...you! If you would like to make Baloo part of your family, please email kgorman2989@gmail.com

Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Age: 2 years old Weight: 85 lbs. Good with dogs: Only dog, please!

Belle is one big girl, weighing in at 85lbs., but despite her size, she is as gentle as can be! During the first few minutes of meeting, you will notice Belle is on the shy side and may keep her distance, which is very typical as being reserved is something her breed is known for. However, after a few minutes, she will warm up and will want to be pet and shown affection. Then after a few days, she will be running around the yard playing with her squeaky toys! Her perfect family would be ready to show her lots of TLC while she settles into her new home, and would be somewhat experienced or at least familiar with her breed. Belle has many stereotypical Great Pyrenees traits, including being independent yet loyal. She is looking for a yard to play in that is fenced-in to keep her safe from wanting to explore too far.

You will find that Brady is an excellent walker who will stay loyally by your side without pulling and shows great behavior towards other walkers. After the walk, Brady is content to lay on the floor and chew a bone or spend time with his family. This pup also gets along stupendously well with other dogs, so he would appreciate having a doggy sibling or friend to play with! He spends a lot of his time wrestling with his foster sibling. A fenced-in yard would be perfect for him to run around in! Additionally, Brady can use a doggy door and likes sunbathing on the porch. Squirrels and rabbits greatly excite him, but he is untested with cats. When given a treat or at meal time, Brady is extremely gentle and well-behaved. He also has an enormous heart, so he will develop a connection with your family in an instant! His favorite activities are snuggling, resting his head on members of his family, and belly rubs. Do not be surprised if he wants to cuddle up with you in bed! Due to this bond, he will need owners that will dedicate the time to properly introduce him to strangers who come into his house, as he is protective and shows guarding behavior towards unannounced visitors. Brady does not show this behavior towards anything else, and once comfortable with strangers, he is extremely pleasant. With the proper care, training, and love, Brady can be an amazing dog that is sure to bring happiness to your family!

Meet Brinley! She is a beautiful pup who is just a year old! Brinley enjoys the company of people but is very shy at first. She quickly gains more confidence when around other dogs, which is why we are requiring that she share her home with a four-legged sibling! Brinley also requires a fenced-in yard, as she is easily spooked and could be at risk to take off if ever loose in a non-enclosed area. Once she gets comfortable, she clearly shows how much she loves you. However, this process is going to take lots of time, patience, and TLC from her new family. She would do best in a quiet home with minimal commotion. Squeaky toys are her favorite, but she does not care too much for tennis balls. Perhaps her new family can teach her how to appreciate fetch! She is ready to find her forever home! If you would like more information on Brinley, please contact Debbie at DebbieDoubledog@gmail.com.

Though Outlaw is extremely gentle and does excellent with kids (he loves when they give him belly rubs!), we suggest that he go to a home without very young children, as his transition into a new home should be free from lots of loud noises and quick, shuffling feet.

Patches loves kids and just wants to play, but he does tend to roughhouse a bit more than very young children are able to handle, such as playful mouthing or ankle-biting during chase. He has been getting the hang of doing his business outside, though his family should expect to follow through with potty training as he is not 100% there yet. Patches does excellent walking on-leash and you will be able to tell that he knows he has mastered this skill, as he will proudly prance alongside you during your afternoon strolls. With love, training, and guidance, Patches will be the ultimate canine companion! If you would like more information about Patches, contact Debbie at DebbieDoubleDog@gmail.com

Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix Age: 10 years old Weight: 62 pounds God with Dogs: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Good with Cats: No Energy Level: Medium Sabir is a sweet senior boy with a lot of life yet to live! Often among the saddest things we see in rescue are the older dogs who are abandoned by their owners. Poor Sabir was relinquished to a high kill shelter at nine years old because his family could no longer keep him. Sabir was very confused and of course depressed to find himself in a loud shelter with many other dogs in an unfamiliar environment, far from anything he had known before. This sweet boy also has some major dental issues from years of neglect that have left him not feeling up to par. We are in the process of addressing his needs, all of which will be completed prior to adoption. Sabir is an energetic senior, he does well with other dogs that are not aggressive or overly dominant with him, he rides well in the car, and loves to play fetch. He knows how to 'Sit' and take treats very politely. We are seeking a loving family that will dote on this sweet boy and include him in activities, making him a part of the family and showing him the kind of love he so deserves. If interested in Sabir, please contact Summer at: summer.doubledogrescue@gmail.com

Meet Sadie! What a sweet and playful girl she is! Sadie is approximately 6 months old and just has the most beautiful coat that will catch your eye as soon as you see her. She is simply a stunning pup who needs a family! She would be excellent in a large family with kids or with just a single active owner. She is not picky as long as she gets plenty of playtime, exercise, love, and attention! Sadie enjoys playing with other dogs and loves her toys. She is expecting plenty of new toys to chew on in her new home as well! A family who will bring her on daily walks and will play with her in the yard every afternoon would make her so happy. It would also be best that her new family is not gone long hours all day every day, as she will require basic obedience and potty training and will not be able to make much progress by being home alone most of the day. To show you how much she loves you, Sadie will give you lots of kisses so be prepared! This girl is full of love! If you would like more information on Sadie, please contact Rose at RoseDDR9@gmail.com.

Meet Sapphire! With eyes as striking as hers, it is no wonder why you stopped to read more about her! Sapphire is about to turn a year old in just a couple short months. She would love to have a family of her own to celebrate with by then! Perhaps they could even celebrate her Gotcha Day and her birthday all at once! Almost-one-year-old Sapphire is a beautiful mix of Catahoula and Shepherd. That means she is intelligent and will easily reach her full potential with routine and proper training. Her breed mixes are known for requiring lots of mental stimulation, especially when left alone. Interactive and puzzle toys are excellent for giving these pups a job on their downtime, such as anytime they are not outside playing, on a walk, or having a doggy wrestle match in the living room. Sapphire will be happiest when playing and spending time with you, but she also appreciates a good nap! She is looking forward to making many new memories with her forever family. If you would like more information about Sapphire, please contact Sarah at SarahDoubleDog@gmail.com

Meet Sir Isaac Newton! He is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog and Shepherd mix who is looking for a family to call his own! Newton loves to be around people, but is a bit of a shy guy at first. Poor Newton came to the shelter as a stray and it really took a toll on his initial bubbly personality. He became confused, scared, and went from the always happy boy to the always timid boy. But now, he is still a little shy at first, but quickly warms up and becomes best friends with everyone! Playtime with other dogs is his favorite way to release some energy and get his daily exercise in. He has not had any interest in squeaky toys or tennis balls, but perhaps he will find a favorite toy when his new family takes him shopping for the first time. Newton does the most adorable full-body wiggle when he sees a familiar face. He will surely show you every time you walk through the door after a long day at work. If you would like more information on Sir Isaac Newton, please contact Rose at RoseDDR9@gmail.com.

So I looked off the edge of the world I saw the girl who changed everything That's when I met Winnie I wanted to be her sailor's tattoo Her gravity pulled up my sad remains I've loved you so long, Winnie I want to be your sailor's tattoo.-from 'Winnie' by Neko Case Will your love for Winnie lead to a tattoo? Probably not but we bet you'll have her forever tattooed in your heart. Winnie is a beautiful 4 month old Catahoula mix who currently weighs 25 lbs and we don't expect she will get any bigger than 50 lbs when full grown. Winnie was surrendered to an overcrowded chaotic southern shelter expecting that she would die. Humans failed this pretty little girl by not getting her the medical treatment she needed, and yes she very well could have died. Thankfully she was immediately pulled by rescue and taken for an exam. Turned out she simply needed to be treated for some common but preventable parasites. All is well now for our sweet Winnie and things will just keep getting better! Winnie, like most pups, is happy go lucky, playful, and cuddly. She has done wonderful with her house and crate training and continues to learn what being loved and cared for is all about. Winnie is great with everyone she meets. She is very good with other dogs, cats, and she is definitely kid friendly. This precious pooch is already spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, current on preventatives, and micro chipped. The only thing missing in her life now is her very own forever family and home. We can't help but believe that her sweet demeanor and love of life will make her the girl that will change so many things for the better. We know Winnie's happily forever after is just around the corner. The only question is will you be the greatest chapter in her story? If you would like to make Winnie part of your family please email: kgorman2989@gmail.com
