Animals pat life

Bella is a 4 year old American Stafford Terrier / Boxer / Afghan Hound mix (we’ve had her DNA tested) who weighs around 80 pounds. We adopted her from a shelter when she was 4 to 5 months old.   She has a redish/brown short hair with minimum shedding.   She has been spayed, is up to date on all her shots, and has been micro-chipped.      She has gone through obedience training with two private trainers in our home and is well trained on all basic commands and leash walking.   She has also gone through the “Fearful Fido” Class at Animal Friends.   She is crate trained and house trained and does very well for even long periods of time without any accidents. We have had no chewing problems and she demonstrates no destructive behavior.   She is invisible fence trained as well.   She is a quiet dog that only barks on occasion or when strangers enter the house or when she sees other dogs.   She has a medium energy level and is as happy laying at your feet as she is going for a walk.   When s

In honor of Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month, we would like to share a wonderful success story of a shelter dogs who found his forever home!  Here is an awesome success story that demonstrates the love and compassion that shelter animals are capable of! Havoc Many of us can relate to having a house full of four-legged family members, just like Dawn and Mark Lubbart. They are avid Animal Friends supporters, having adopted from us multiple times. Thirteen years ago they adopted their first dog, Thor, who quickly became the love of their lives.  Next they added Cyclops, a wonderful puppy who unfortunately developed seizures. Without missing a beat, Dawn and Mark worked with him and bonded closely with their poor baby boy. After many trials and errors, they figured it out and Cyclops has been seizure-free for quite some time! In May of 2015, a month after having to send their beloved Thor over the Rainbow Bridge, this wonderful couple decided to adopt again. After spending over three hours with E
