Feral kittens in tree. The mother had four kittens which she brought to the front of my yard one by one every few days. These two liked to sleep together in the tree when they were very young. Now they sleep in chairs on my patio and/or in a dog house filled with straw.

Sadie is a 3-1/2 year old female Pointer mix. She is spayed and has been tested, vaccinated and microchipped.

This lovely and intelligent girl is a graduate of the Coffeewood Canines inmate training program. She is house-broken, crate-trained and responds to a variety of commands including: Come, Sit, Stay, No, Down and she "heels" to the left when walking.

She has been trained using the praise/reward system along with verbal commands.

Sadie is quiet in nature, but very social with other dogs and humans. NO CATS or CHICKENS!

Sadie bonds closely with her people and is attentive. Sadie is an indoor dog best suited for a home with a laid-back atmosphere.

Hugo is an 8-year-old, male, Pitbull Terrier mix. He is neutered, vaccinated, tested and microchipped. He was turned into the shelter by his former family when they were no longer able to care for him.

Hugo is an affectionate dog who loves to be near people at all times --- especially when they are rubbing his belly or scratching his back. Pet him and he will be happy.

Hugo is calm and laid back. He walks well on a leash and doesn't play much, preferring to sit at your feet and lean on your legs.

However, he is a STRONG guy and can easily knock over little kids without meaning to. He will be a fantastic family pet and forever friend.
