Rocky originally came to us from a shelter in Arkansas. Rocky may be blind, but that doesn't slow him down one bit. He knows basic commands and can learn the layout of a house fairly quickly and navigate it on his own. He will get up on the sofa when invited. Getting down he gauges distance and nails it! He does the same with getting in and out of cars. He trusts his human completely, loves to go on walks and would do best in a calmer home where he is with someone most of the day. Don't let his blindness fool you: this guy is full of life and love and adventure.

Hi! My name is Nikki and this is my story. I was in a shelter and they told me my time was running out. I was surrendered to the shelter because my mom and dad lost their home, and I had no place to go. When I got to the shelter I was very confused but eventually went to live with a wonderful foster mom. Foster mom says I am a mess, but I am the sweetest mess ever! I will give you sad eyes and smooches. All I want is to snuggle and play. I am learning my manners because it makes everyone happy. All I want now is my very own family to snuggle with and make happy!

Hi there I'm Coa! I'm a young pup with a little bit of a strange start to life. When my family was unable to care for us any longer, I ended up in a shelter. My eye was in bad shape, and I had to have it removed, but do you really need two? I'm now living with my foster dad, and he is great! He takes me on lots of runs and we frequently go camping together. I don't climb on the furniture, and I can sleep through the night next to your bed politely like a champ! My rescuers were also very impressed with me when I kindly let a little kid give me a bath! If you have what it takes to love, care for and handle a big big boy like me, please let my rescuers know!
