Jake

This smart fellow, attractive in his jet-black shorthair coat with white markings, is a large, 2-year-old, Labrador Retriever-mix. Friendly, very active — quite a bit of it is pent up energy — Jake will do best with loving, active owner(s) who will spend time with him, give him plenty exercise/play, take him with them on their outings, preferably on a leash or in a fenced area, give obedience training and, of course, a good forever home. For more information about Jake, ID No. 1435, see Facebook’s ENC Shelter Dog page. He’s available at the shelter.

 

Misty

This sweet girl, pretty in her gray, shorthair coat with white markings, is a 6-year-old, pit bull terrier mix. Friendly and on the plump side, Misty is listed as large, but her size is more medium/large. She will do best with loving, active owner(s) who will spend time with her, give her plenty of age related exercise/play, take her with them on their outings, preferably on a leash or in a fenced area, give obedience training and, of course, a good forever home.  For more information about Misty, ID No. 1386, see Facebook’s ENC Shelter Dog page; she’s available at the shelter.
