Dakota is an amiable 18-month-old 80-pound male mastiff mix who desperately needs a home. He has been neutered, has all his shots, has a microchip and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. He is definitely a people lover. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body but he is very athletic and sometimes doesn't realize how big he is when he's playing. However, his foster family has been working with him on containing his excitement better. He likes to wrestle with other dogs his size, lounge by the pool on hot days and gnaw on a bone when he can get one. With additional training, he would make an excellent service dog. Anyone interested in adopting Dakota can contact Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue.

She's gorgeous now, but when Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue found Angel, she had a collar embedded in her neck and someone had hacked her fur off with a razer. A collar becomes embedded when it's placed on a dog's neck when the dog is young and then no one bothers to loosen it as the dog matures. The too-tight collar actually becomes embedded in the dog's neck, causing open wounds and pain. Angel is a solid white semi long-haired German shepherd with beautiful brown eyes. She's about 2 years old. After her mistreatment, she's now slowly coming out of her shell. She would be best suited for someone who has a quiet lifestyle and not many visitors. She is not scared of people. She just cowers when she's introduced to new situations and becomes …
