COUTESY POST FOR REHOMING

This is copper! He’s just under a year and a half old and a ball of energy!! He does well with other animals (dogs/cats). Copper jumps HIGH which might make it difficult to have him around small children.
He knows roll over and sit pretty and is crate and potty trained 100%. He is a VERY quick learner and would make a great agility dog and outside partner. He is a medium sized dog and looks like a forever puppy 🐶 he loves to snuggle and play fetch!!! .

COURTESY POST FOR REHOMING
He's sweet, loves affection and has not had any issues with kids or other cats at this time (we have two adult cats, but separated from the kitten most of the time). He does have a bad eye, which we are treating in hopes it will heal.

COURTESY POST FOR REHOMING
This is Dozer! He’s a 1-year-old Great Dane, German Shepherd, and Blue Heeler mix, weighing approximately 90 pounds. He’s housebroken, up to date on his vaccinations, and not neutered. He’s good with children and other dogs. His last interaction with a cat was when he was a puppy.

Unfortunately, I received unexpected notice that I have to leave tomorrow, October 20, for work, and I have no idea how long I’ll be gone. I’ve been desperately trying to find him a safe, loving home before I leave.

Dozer means absolutely everything to me, and having to rehome him is heartbreaking. I just want to make sure he’s somewhere safe and loved.

I’m located in Rincon, Georgia, and I’m open to rescue placement as well.
