Meet Sleepy & Buddy â Our Very Own âBig Red Dogs!â If you grew up loving Clifford the Big Red Dog, we may have the real-life version⦠**times TWO!**Meet Sleepy and Buddy, two handsome 8-month-old Saint Bernard/Coonhound mixes who are looking for something theyâve never truly had before â **families of their own.**These boys came to us as part of a humane investigation case, and their start in life meant they missed out on many of the experiences and lessons most puppies get when they're little.So while Sleepy and Buddy may look like BIG 8-month-old dogs, think of them as 8-week-old puppies in extra-large bodies. House training? Theyâre learning.Leash manners? Theyâre learning.Living in a home? That may be new, too.Knowing whatâs expected of them? **Thatâs where you come in.**They aren't bad dogs, and they aren't too old to learn. Quite the opposite.**Sleepy and Buddy have a fresh, clean slate and an entirely new start to life.**Their adopters will have the amazing opportunity to teach them all the things they should have learned as little puppies â and introduce them to all the good things they may have missed.Toys. Treats. Walks. Adventures. Comfy beds. Routines. Training. And, most importantly, **what it feels like to belong to someone.**With a Saint Bernard mom and a Coonhound dad, these boys aren't exactly going to be pocket-sized. They are big, goofy puppies with big paws, big personalities and LOTS of growing and learning still ahead of them. **Big dogs. Big paws. Big potential.****Lots to learn and a lifetime ahead to learn it.**Clifford taught us that sometimes **love makes you grow.**Sleepy and Buddy have already done plenty of growing on the outside.**Now they need families who will help them grow on the inside. **Their first chapter wasn't the one we would have chosen for them.But that chapter is over.Sleepy and Buddy are ready for their BIG RED DOG beginning.**Could you be the person who shows one of them just how good life can be?**Few can resist a puppy. These adorable, soft bundles of energy are similar to four-legged children with tails. And like children, puppies need a lot of time, care, love, and patience. A puppy will depend on you for frequent and regular feedings and walks, for guidance and training, and for much of your time and your love. Before you plunge into puppy parenthood, make sure to research! There are many rewards to caring for a puppy, but there are also many requirements. Puppy classes are highly recommended for socialization and a positive transition into your home. Puppies love to learn how to be the best dog for your family!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings. Dogs are individuals and have personality conflicts, just like us. Play groups do not guarantee that territorial or resource guarding issues will not surface in the home. While play groups do help us get to know the dog's better, once they are adopted their new environments and new relationships will influence their behavior in ways we cannot predict.Your puppyâs adoption fee includes:- Current age-appropriate CORE Vaccines (Rabies/DHPP/Bordetella)- Heartworm Tested- Current on NexGard PLUS Monthly Preventative Chew (Flea/Tick/Heartworm Preventative & Dewormer)- Spaying or Neutering- 24-Petwatch MicrochipAdoption fee: $185.00Per state law, ALL ADOPTERS must purchase a non-refundable 2026 dog license at time of adoption for any canine three months and older.
