Story
Rocky has been through a lot most of his life and will need a patient and kind owner who is willing to give Rocky time to adapt to his new home. Rocky is a very friendly dude but may be shy when meeting new people for the first time. He can especially be wary of big, loud men. Rocky has a difficult past but is looking forward to a bright future! Once comfortable, he loves all the attention. His previous owner mentioned that he enjoys bath time and loves to join in on water fun! Rocky is an active dog who will thrive best with having a positive outlet for his energy. He enjoys having toys and regular enrichment! Rocky is a smart boy who appreciates keeping his brain busy too! We anticipate him enjoying dog puzzles and he loves stuffed kongs. Rocky was overall a well mannered gentleman on his previous home. His only flaw was that he would chew on kids toys and sometimes shoes when left alone outside of his crate. Rocky is crate trained and recommend keeping up with it; not just to ensure good behaviors when alone but to also provide him with a safe place of his own. Rocky is potty trained and will sit at the door when he needs to go out. He also knows the cues “sit”, “stay”, “down”, “off”, “treat”, “come”, “leave it”, “fetch”, “okay” and he walks well on a leash! Rocky had done well with the children in his previous home and is said to be a very loyal companion. He wants nothing more than to make his family happy! Rocky has done well with other dogs and is always excited to see the other dogs in the shelter. We have done a couple dog meet and greets too, which he has done great with. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! He has been around livestock with no issues but it is unknown how he does with cats and other small animals. We do suspect that he would chase them! Rocky is a very good boy and we are so proud of how far he has come. Again, Rocky will need time to adapt to his new home and please be prepared to provide him with that time!

Story
Fisher was brought to the as a stray with his friend Starfish. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate his owner, so he is here, eagerly waiting to find his forever home! Fisher is an active dog who will thrive best with having a positive outlet for his energy. He is a happy guy who would benefit from keeping both his body and brain active! We do not have any background information on Fisher; it is unknown if he has lived with children or other dogs. During his time in the shelter Fisher has loved meeting new people and is happy to do so. He has not been reactive towards other dogs and may do well with another friend! We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed. Fisher is always so excited to get out of his kennel, over time he has begun playing tug with his leash when it is time to go outside. To curb this behavior we have offered him a toy to carry instead, he walks on a leash much better now! It can be difficult to tell if a dog is fully potty trained in the shelter environment. Fisher is asking for some grace while he adapts and continues to learn in his new home! Fisher does take treats gently and knows the cue “sit”. Fisher has done great with handling and loves a good scratching! You may notice that he is shedding so much right now and would benefit from a good brushing. Luckily, he loves it! Fisher is such a good boy who simply needs to get out of the shelter so he can be the best version of himself. If you feel that Fisher would be a good fit for your home, we would love for you to come and meet him!

Story
Rex came to us in pretty rough shape and was in desperate need of medical attention. We spent quite some time with him, working towards making him feel better and we are happy to report that he is a happy, healthy puppy again! Rex is such a tough, resilient young dog who absolutely deserves to find the best home. During his time in the shelter Rex has been such a good boy. He does great with handling and has taken everything we`ve thrown at him like a champ. Rex enjoys learning and is a people pleaser, which may help with any additional training he may need! Rex has been friendly towards other dogs and always has a friendly demeanor when seeing them. He may enjoy having a friend in his new home. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Now that Rex is feeling better, he has proven to be active and loves to play! Going on walks is probably his favorite thing but he is also a ball dog and loves to chase tennis balls around. He will be happiest with regular exercise. Rex is also very snuggly. When he is wanting some love, he will often rest his head in peoples laps. We find this to be so sweet! Rex does walk pretty well on a leash but may need some redirection from time to time as he does like to jump up for a hug. He also knows the cues `sit` and `down`. We adore Rex and know that if you meet him, you will too! If you feel that Rex would be a good fit for your home, we encourage you to come by and meet him!

Story
Puddle is a young and active boy who enjoys making new friends! He originally arrived to the shelter with another friend, his age too so we assume they were brothers! Puddle and Poncho were attached at the hip and got along great. Puddle has not been reactive towards other dogs in the shelter and would most likely enjoy a doggy friend in his new home. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Puddle is a big love bug and just wants to be hugged and told he’s such a good boy. He is a people pleaser and always feels so guilty when he thinks he’s done something wrong. A gentle and patient owner would be best for sweet Puddle. He is happy to go on walks and has really LOVED the shelter`s little agility equipment. If you`re interested in dog agility Puddle might just have what it takes! He will be happiest with having a positive outlet for his energy. Since Puddle came to the shelter as a stray we do not know if he has lived with other animals or children. Introductions should be taken slowly! Considering he does have a social but submissive personality we are hopeful he could make a great addition to most homes! Puddle may not be completely potty trained, but it can be difficult to tell in a shelter environment. Please be sure to give him time to adapt to his new home! Puddle has walked great on a leash and knows the cue “sit”. Puddle is such a fun guy to spend time with, and we absolutely adore his sweetness. We would love for you to come by and meet him!

Story
Pudding is a very sweet girl who loves to please her people! When she first met shelter staff, she was very shy and needs words of encouragement to help her feel more comfortable. She has turned into such a bubbly and happy girl! Since Pudding was brought to us as a stray we do not know if she has lived with other animals or children. During her time in the shelter, she has been friendly towards other dogs and appears to want to make friends! We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed. Pudding will need time to adapt to her new home and please don`t feel discouraged if she needs a moment to get to know you a little better. She really is such a sweet girl! Pudding can be very derpy at times; her body can`t always keep up with her legs! She has enjoyed discovering new toys and seems to favor stuffies and rubber toys. She will love a yard to galop in and will be happiest with regular exercise. Pudding is well mannered and seems to be a smart cookie! She appears to be potty trained and knows the cues `sit` and `lay down`. She does walk well on a leash, but you may have to let her get her wiggles out before going on a nice stroll! Pudding is such a good girlie. She deserves the most loving home and would be so grateful to meet you!
