Dempsey is a big sweet lug of a dog. He really loves to play and body-slamming is part of his game! He has been neutered and is up to date on all of his vaccinations. He has completed his heartworm treatment, is heartworm negative and feeling fabulous! He is affectionate and likes to lie up against his human. He is very handsome and has funny asymmetrical ears. He has very pretty amber eyes that go all the way to his soul. Dempsey is a fun dog who likes to catch and fetch and chew on bones. He even entertains himself with toys and balls. He enjoys sleeping on his back and rolling on his back. He really likes kids, too. He’s a loving dog. He’s still a bit of youngster and doesn’t always appreciate his strength. He is very intent on getting what he wants and an experienced human companion would be ideal. Dempsey is a supersmart dog who is intense about what he’s doing. He would thrive in a situation where he could be busy during the day (even running with his human) and relax with the family at the end of the day. He would do well in a home with a child or children who would play with him with his toys and where he could curl up with them at night. Because he tends to be a little rough and doesn’t seem to know how strong he is, older children would be ideal. Dempsey is a countersurfer so a home with cluttered countertops would be great sport for him. And having to climb will not deter him either! He got on a counter in his foster home, on top of a fridge and ate an entire package of chocolate chips! So plan to keep all the tasty things put away. Maybe child locks?

Obedience training would be great for Dempsey and his new family, creating that bond that only comes from the trust that comes from that training.

Dempsey is a healthy, happy boy, very fit, neutered, housetrained and ready for his forever home.

DEMPSEY MUST GO TO A HOME WITHOUT CATS. Dempsey was adopted but returned to his foster because his adopters had cats. They think Dempsey is an awesome dog and will be happy to tell other potential adopters about their positive experiences with him.

Taylor is a young adult border collie, born in March 2008. She is spayed, vaccinated and on monthly heartworm preventative. This is a very smart and loving dog - she knows "sit", "down" and "go to jail", which means go to your crate. She is great with people, even young children. She loves to please, and is a fast learner.

Taylor has shown some aggression towards her current owner's female dog on a few occasions - this is most likely territorial aggression. Her lifestyle has been somewhat sedentary and she needs a more active home and a job to do - she will most likely excel at some form of canine sport. She would do well as an only dog or with a male dog as a companion.

Lily is 2 years old, spayed, current on all shots, on HW preventative.

She is house trained, crate trained, but usually spends the day outside (when I am at work) and comes in and out the rest of the time (I work from home a lot). She get along well with other dogs (she is submissive here). Plays a little rough with our goats, but stays clear of the horses. She sleeps with us at night (on their bed) and will let you know if she needs to go out.

Lily has learned several commands, such as "touch (where she touches her nose to my finger)", "let's go to bed" (they have their own twin size bed in our bedroom, but she will jump up and lay with me from time to time), "want to go out or go potty or go see", "where's your toy", "where's the cat", "where's Katie (one of our dogs)". She isn't a snuggler, she likes to have her own space to lay around, but from time to time she will get on the couch beside me. She likes to play rough with the other dogs, but is gentle with us. She can run like the wind!

Call or email 256-775-7691 or djdurham@ymail.com. Lily is located in Cullman, AL, and her requested adoption donation is $75.00
