Oliver, Plott hound and terrier mix
He is not a chewer, and knows which toys are his. He is a cuddler and loves just about everyone he meets.
Lucy, Labrador retriever mix
She loves to pick random things up (bowls, towels, etc.) and run around with them. Lucy rides well in the car and settles very nicely. She loves looking out the windows.
Sophia, boxer and Italian greyhound mix
She will need plenty of safe toys to play with and a secure fenced yard to run around in.
Willow, Labrador retriever
She loves to play tug of war with ropes and stuffed animals, and although she has a lot of puppy energy, she loves to give kisses and cuddle.
Karly, wirehaired dachshund and terrier mix
She is very sweet and gives kisses.
