Tunka is looking for a new place to hang his leash and call home. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to meet him. He has not been dog tested but he hasn’t shown any negative signs through the fencing with other dogs! 😊

needing home
We have 3 pups, roughly 10 weeks old, available for adoption. Unsure of breed, but mom appears to be a terrier mix of some sort. Mom is also looking for a home. Not much is known about mom or where she came from, just that she is very shy but loving and will need patience and slow introductions. Please reach out with questions or if you would like to meet them.
