She quickly “claimed” her domain and set forth establishing the hierarchy with the four dogs. It didn’t take them long to realize who was now in charge. -Dean and Kaye Nipper

She watched our online listings and when Lexington became available, she acted fast and got her “man”! Lexington went home with the…
Someone finally saw Farrah for what she is — a highly adoptable dog stuck in a shelter for no good reason. Thank you so much for giving her a home (and for being repeat adopters from us). We know you will love her as much as we do!
