Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound lists available dogs and puppies as of May 6

The Highland County Dog Pound has the following dogs available for adoption or rescue pulls as of May 6, listed courtesy of the Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound.

Pull transport date is May 9.

(1) Sprout: Sprout is a mixed breed who weighs around 45-50 Ibs and is about 1 year old. Sprout gets his name because … well, he is just goofy, and the way he runs will make your heart melt. He is the sweetest boy who just wants to be loved on and played with. Sprout seems to be just fine with other dogs.

(2) Bandit: Bandit is a mixed breed who weighs 47 lbs. He loves everyone, and he has done fine with other dogs he has been around.

(3) Taz: Taz came back to us as an owner surrender at no fault of his own because the owners had to move and could not take him. Taz is a Catahoula mix who is 1 year old. Taz weighs 50l bs, and he is already neutered. Taz is up to date on all vaccines, including rabies. His previous owner said he is fine with other dogs.

(4) Jimmy: Jimmy is a handsome boy that weighs around 60 lbs. Jimmy LOVES attention, and he will keep bugging you until you give it to him. He would do best in a home without other dogs.

(5) Melony: Pouty face Melony is a pointer mix who is about 6-8 years old. She is a very sweet girl who weighs 55 lbs. Melony is good with other dogs. Once you meet her, she will steal your heart by the pouty face she gives. A $125 donation toward spaying goes with Melony to her rescue.

(6) Bear: Bear is a 4-year-old German Shepherd that weighs 72 lbs. He seems to do OK with other dogs at the pound. Previous owner also says he is good with cats and that he loves to run and play with a ball. He is possibly a little food protective, but that may be due to his previous environment.

(7) Bud: Bud came to us as a stray. We think he may be a beagle/red hound mix. Bud weighs 50 lbs. but is very petite. Bud is also neutered. This guy will steal your heart with his beautiful brown eyes. Bud seems to be OK with dogs here at the pound, but a slow introduction is a must. He is also shy of people he does not see on a daily basis.

(8) Zeppelin: Zeppelin is estimated to be 1-2 years old. He weighs 58 lbs. He loves to play with other dogs and has a ton of energy.

(9) Flopsy: Flopsy is a beautiful pit bull 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 with a slow introduction.

(10) Panther: Panther is a 52 lb. male pit bull around the age of 3. He is not good with other dogs, but he has a great personality.

(11) Gabby: She so deserves a chance, she is too nice to have been here for so long. Gabby is a mixed breed sweetheart who weighs 60 lbs. and would be best in an only-dog home. She is very loving and gets so excited to see you she wants to give you kisses. A donor wishes to help with the cost of her spaying at your veterinary clinic.

(12) Milo: Milo is a husky that is estimated to be around 3-4 years old. He weighs 44 lbs. He does great with other dogs. He is a very sweet boy and seems to learn very quickly as long as he gets attention when he does something good.

(13) Champ: Champ is a pit mix who is 2-3 years old and weighs 48 lbs.  He is a very pretty tan color with white on his chest. We don’t know what Champ had to go through before he came to the shelter, but we do know that he is not OK with any dogs and would be good for a home where he was the only dog.

(14) Hank: Hank was owner surrendered and we think he is a boxer mix and he weighs 78 lbs., and he is 8-9 years old. He is very loving to people, but he is not good with small dogs. With larger dogs, he would be fine.

(15) Oatis: Oatis is a sweet pit mix who is approximately 2-3 years old and he weighs 42 pounds. He seems to do fine with other dogs as he does not really pay attention to them.

(16) Jade: Jade is one of a kind with her beautiful one brown and one bright blue eye. She is a German Shepherd/husky mix who is estimated at 1-2 years old and weighs 53 lbs. From what we can tell, Jade does not like other dogs.

(17) Freddy: Freddy is an estimated 2-year-old lab mix that came to us as a stray. Freddy weighs 55 pounds. He seems to be fine with other dogs. He would benefit from spending some time walking on a leash. He loves the attention.

(18) Lewis: Lewis is a chihuahua/Jack Russell mix who is about 5-6 years old. Lewis weighs 17 lbs. and is a very sweet boy. He loves to try and give kisses. Lewis can be rather aggressive toward other dogs, but he has lived with a bigger dog.

(19) Winston #2:  Winston is approximately 4 years old and he weighs 48 lbs. He is a pit bull. He does great with other dogs and has a ton of energy.

(20) Winston #1: We think Winston might be a Lab mix. He is about 1-2 years old and weighs 46 lbs. He definitely has a lot of energy but is a sweet boy who loves people. He appears to be fine with other dogs.

(21) Delilah: Delilah is a mixed breed who is very loving. She needs time to warm up to you but once she does she will be your best friend. She has been good with other dogs here at the pound. Delilah is 4 years old, and she weighs 43 pounds.

(22) Scooby: Scooby is a mixed breed boy who weighs 68 lbs. Scooby is an owner surrender who is 3 years old, and he is neutered. His previous owner says he has never been around cats. He has been around kids and would prefer older children. He has also been around dogs and would prefer medium-large dogs.

(23) Storm: Storm is a male Bluetick Coonhound who is around 3 years old and weighs 46 lbs. This beautiful boy loves to run and play. He seems to be fine with other dogs.

(24) Azalea: Azalea is estimated to be 3-4 years old, and she weighs 53 lbs. She is a sweet and loving girl who will come right up to you to be loved on. Please consider adding this sweet girl to your home.

(25) Hopper: Hopper lives up to her name, as she loves to hop around outside and play. She is a very sweet girl with a lot of energy. She is likely around 1-2 years old and weighs 44 lbs.

(26) Daisey: We think Daisey may be an English Coonhound Mix. She is around 5-7 years old. Daisey is such a sweet girl who craves love and affection. We think Daisey would be OK with other dogs who are calm and wouldn't pay much attention to her. She would need time to warm up to them. Daisey weighs around 40 lbs.

(27) Gracie: We think Gracie is about a year old and only weighs 28 lbs. This petite little girl is one of the sweetest you will ever meet. She loves to play with other dogs and does great with everyone she has been in contact with. 

(28) 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 that we have had him around here at the pound, and he came in with a female. He is short and stocky, weighing around 45 lbs.
