We adopted Nala as a puppy from the Dane County Humane Society 7 years ago. She is an energetic, playful dog who loves people and has done well with other dogs in the past. She is looking for a home that can provide her with plenty of exercise and activities. She's a well-behaved dog, with limited skills and training included. She is also crate trained, knows how to "heel", sit, lay down, shake, settle and also can catch a frisbee which she loves playing with. Her other favorite is tug of war. Her high energy levels and requirements for exercise and attention has become a challenge with our newborn baby and we want to find a home that is a perfect fit for her. It is better for Nala that she finds a home that is well-suited for her.

6yo, 40lb Hobbs is a sweet little guy. He was a rescue that has done well in our household for years until the recent arrival of our baby. The transition has not gone well and he deserves to have a home where he can receive the love and attention he needs. He does well with routine and a job to do, fetch is his favorite, has no prey drive, crated at night but will sleep whether door is open or closed, walks well on a leash, indifferent to other dogs in passing, house trained but needs structure. Very smart, very trainable. Would not do well in a home with babies/toddlers Important - Experience with working dogs will serve you well - the maintenance of these types of breeds is unlike most others and it is important that negative reinforcement to control behavior is not used.

Pepperoni was part of a litter of eight puppies rescued several months ago. He was adopted together with one of his siblings, but circumstances have changed and Pepperoni is in need of a new forever home! He is crate-trained, housebroken, neutered, and has been through a beginner obedience class. Their mom says he is a quick learner, very obedient, and likes to track things. That tracking includes chasing cats, so Pepperoni needs a home with no cats or other small pets. He likes kids but can knock down smaller children while he is loving them. Apply to adopt Pepperoni at ricopetrecovery.org. Adoption fee is $250.
