💚Bowie is our little Starman!⚡️ He's the only boy in his litter, and is in sweet, playful puppy mode! Bowie still has a lot of room to grow; he will be a large breed dog once fully grown. Bowie needs his forever person to teach him all of the ways it takes to be a good dog. Bowie is a pretty intelligent little guy. With a lot of love, some good chew toys, and a lot of patience for a growing puppy, you will be gaining a most wonderful forever friend in Bowie!💚
You can meet Bowie at our Main Ranch location during adoption hours.

💚J.J. & Emily are still looking for their forever homes! For now, they're in a fantastic foster home together. Both are playful, rambunctious, funny and loving. Emily is the more outgoing of the two, and JJ takes her time, and then learns from her sister. Both are learning to walk on leash, and working on potty-training. So far, they're doing good, working on all of their training. And after their walks they love to play some more until they're ready to nap!💚

💚Saint lives up to his name, because this 8lb cutie is an angel! 👏😇 He can be plenty shy at a first meeting, but he is very sweet, and has a playful side. He gets along well with dogs his size, like his spunky brother Benson. Saint is looking for a home where he can play and then relax in a big comfy space all his own. We pray this little Saint finds his forever home soon!💚
You can meet Saint at our Main Ranch location.
