Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Lenny   Lenny is a wonderful boy with an excellent temperament and a calm, laid-back personality. Most of the time he’s relaxed and easygoing — until it’s time for a walk! Then you’ll be treated to some happy barking and his adorable little dance that shows just how excited he is to get moving   Lenny does have some separation anxiety, so he would thrive best in a home where someone is home most of the time or able to take him along with them. With the right setup, he is an incredibly loyal and loving companion.   He’s done great with every dog he’s met so far and has shown polite, well-mannered behavior around small children. He’s more drawn to women, but is respectful with men as well — a quick hello and he’s ready to move on. While he hasn’t been tested with cats, he’s been easily managed around them.   Lenny already knows sit, lay down, and give paw, and he walks beautifully on a leash with no pulling. He’s very respectful in the home and hasn’t attempted to get on furniture, even when other dogs do. His appetite is normal, and he’s currently doing well on a weight-management diet with some added steamed chicken.   Lenny is a truly special boy who will make an amazing companion for the right home — especially one looking for a calm, devoted shadow who just wants to be near his person.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 21, 2025, 11:52 am

Story
Meet and love (that's an order, and you'll thank me for it!) Bobo - who will absolutely learn a new name if it's said with love. /// Bobo wants to say this about herself: "Hi! *wriggle wriggle* I'm SO HAPPY *wriggle wriggle* to MEET YOU!!! *wriggle wriggle wriggle wriggle*" /// Ok, she's a little speechless while she's wriggling. This younger (about a year and a half) border collie is a charming, happy, and playful girl. She makes friends by getting them to chase her in a vigorous game of tag. At the vet's office, the techs found her charming and sweet. She's basically house trained, learning about the delights of peanut butter, contemplating how leashes work, and eagerly comes when called. /// She does well with most dogs, although some seem to take offense to her very enthusiastic behavior. (She still is leaning about personal boundaries and some dogs don't like their boundaries invaded that much.) /// Her energy level is on the high side, but she actually can settle down after getting to run around a while. /// When she's not running laps (a really good agility candidate), she will entertain you with her antics, from finding random items to play with, to climbing in your lap, to chasing- and catching- her tail! /// She really wants a playmate or two, one that can handle her antics with humor. /// Don't you have room enough on your lap and in your heart for her? 💕💕 /// And she is house trained, crate trained, and learning about not using the leash to trip her human. Her former owners said she was good with cats and children, but was too energetic. Her energy levels would probably be too much for little children without a lot of pre-training. She would probably freak a cat out with her chaotic energy.
