Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound lists available dogs and puppies as of May 14

The Highland County Dog Pound has the following dogs available for adoption or rescue pulls as of May 14, listed courtesy of the Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound.

(1) Casper: Casper is a suspected shepherd mix who came in as a stray. Casper had been staying in the same spot on the side of a busy roadway for two days due to not wanting to leave his friend who didn’t make it. Casper was so happy to see us. He is pretty skinny for his size, weighing only 43 lbs. He is very young, between 1-2.

(2) Indigo: Indigo is a bully breed mix who weighs around 40 lbs and is around 1 year old. She is a very sweet girl and seems to be good with other dogs.

(3) Shadow: Shadow is a mix who weighs around 60 lbs. She came to us as a stray. He loves people and seems good with other dogs.

(4) Bonnie: Bonnie is a pit mix around 2 years old and weighs around 40 lbs. We got her as a stray who had six puppies. She is a pretty sweet girl who loves outside time. She has been fine with other dogs.

(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 pit mix.

(6) Diesel: Diesel is a pit mix who came to us as a stray. He is very friendly and loves to play and get loved on. He has done well with other dogs at the pound. Diesel has been with a foster for a few months, and she reports he has been very good with her dogs and cats. He is short and stocky, weighing around 50 lbs. Intake date: 4/29/24.

(7) Simba: Simba is a mix who came to us as a stray. He is around 3 years old and weighs 40 lbs. He is very friendly and seems to do well with dogs.

(8) Teddy: Teddy came to us as a stray. He is around 3 years old and weighs around 30 lbs. He is very friendly and does well with other dogs.

(9) Bella: Bella came to us as an owner surrender after her owner had to start traveling for work (truck driver). She is 3 years old. He said she was a Bernese Mountain Dog, but I am going to say a mix. She has been around cats and children. She actually came in with a male dog and has been fine with other dogs here. She weighs 85 lbs.

(10) Millie: Millie is a husky who also weighs 50 lbs. and is estimated at 1-2 years old. Millie and Mocha are very similar in everything except for the darker and lighter colors. She is very friendly and does fine with other dogs.

(11) Mocha: Mocha is a husky weighing 50 lbs. She is 1-2 years old. She is very friendly but also very dramatic (normal husky) and loves to talk to you. She was brought in as a stray with Millie, who you'll also see. Mocha doesn’t exactly like being on a leash. She instead chooses to lie down and wants you to carry her.

(12) Flopsy: Flopsy is a beautiful pit girl who is 2-3 years old and weighs 55 lbs. Flopsy got her name because when you go to pet her, she flops on the ground wanting all the belly rubs you will give her. She loves people and has a very loving personality. This sweet girl has never shown any type of aggression, and she seems to be OK with other dogs. Intake date: 3/8/24.
