(1) George: George is a black and tan coonhound who is around 3 years old. He currently weighs 50 lbs, but he is very skinny. George does have some skin issues, as you can probably see in the pictures. He is a very sweet dog who had most likely been used for hunting at one point in his life. George is very stressed out and not doing well here in the shelter.

(2) Lexi: Lexi is a Shepherd/Doberman mix who is 7 years old. She weighs around 50 lbs. She has been around cats and kids and other dogs. She was an owner surrender due to her owner having to move.

(3) Casper: Casper is a male shepherd mix who came in as a stray.

 (5) Bones: Bones came to us after his owner passed away. A woman who cared for the owner said that Bones was a stray that had showed up. He got his name because he was exactly that, skin and BONES. Bones is a young, loving mixed breed.

(15) Weezy:  Weezy is a female mixed breed who came to us as a stray. Weezy is around a year old and weighs 35 lbs. Weezy is very friendly and seems to be OK with other dogs. Weezy got her name because she was born with a smaller trachea than normal, so it makes her wheeze all the time. The vet said it doesn't seem to hurt her or anything as of right now. She is very energetic and loves to play.
