Story
Kennedy is currently in a foster home! If you are interested in her, please contact the shelter to schedule a meet and greet. Kennedy is a very sweet, affectionate and outgoing girlie. She is an active dog who would benefit from a big yard to run and play in, fenced in of course is a bonus! Kennedy can be anxious at times and would be best suited in a home that does not require her to be alone for long periods of time. Kennedy has done great with children. Very gentle and loving. She just loves love! Kennedys foster home has other dogs in it and she has done wonderful with them. She has really enjoyed playing with the puppies and is incredibly tolerable! Kennedy is potty trained and is always on her best behavior in her foster home. She is not crate trained yet but has done well when left alone for short periods of time. Kennedy is walking much better on a leash and has taken to positive reinforcement well! She knows the cue “sit” and is currently working on “down” because she does tend to jump up for a hug! Kennedy could make such a great family dog, and she is already used to the family lifestyle. Her foster family adores her and want nothing more than to see her happy and loved! If you feel that Kennedy may be a good fit for your home, we would love for you to meet her.

Story
Zoe is such a good girl, and we are so shocked that she hasn’t been adopted yet. She has been in the shelter for over a month; we promise she is so worth meeting! Zoe has a happy and goofy personality. She is becoming a little stressed in the shelter but still has a little pip in her step and is staying humble! Zoe is very friendly and loves all the attention she can get. We are not sure if she has lived with children; we encourage adopters to bring their children with them when they come to meet her! Zoe did arrive to the shelter with her sister Roo, and they get along great. Zoe may do well with another friend in her adoptive home, and we can provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Zoe loves to go bye bye and is always happy to go on an adventure. She has been out on a couple Miles for Mutts adventures and has done great each time! She has even had the opportunity to go out with her sister. Zoe is very cuddly but also playful and will thrive best in home that can provide her with regular exercise! Zoe is potty trained but will have accidents if ignored. She is not crate trained and may benefit from crate training because she, on occasion, would chew things that weren’t hers when left alone. Zoe also walks well on a leash and knows the cues “sit”, “down”, “treat”,” come”. We absolutely adore Zoe and want nothing more than to see her happy in a loving home. If you feel that your home would be a good fit for Zoe, we would love for you to come by and meet her!

Story
Information provided to us by her foster family!Lilly is a firecracker with a big personality and an even bigger heart! She’s a high-energy pup who loves to run, play, and wrestle—sometimes a little too rough for her doggy friends. Because of her dominant nature, she’ll need a confident owner who can continue working on her manners and socialization.Despite her bold personality, Lilly is also incredibly loving and sensitive. She adores her people and will happily follow you around the house, always wanting to be part of the action. She’s very food-motivated, which makes training fun, and she’s already mastering “sit”. However, she’s still working on “off” and will need consistency to break her habit of jumping up for attention. Potty training is still a work in progress for Lilly. She needs close supervision, as she will potty on furniture if she isn’t watched. A structured routine and positive reinforcement will help her continue to improve in this area. Lilly would do best in a home with older children who can help guide her training and handle her high energy. She would thrive best being adopted separately from her littermate so she can bond deeply with her new family and receive the one-on-one attention she needs.Lilly is looking for a family that understands her spirited, playful nature and is ready to provide guidance, patience, and lots of love.

Story
Dixie arrived to the shelter as a stray; when she first arrived, she was very scared and shut down. After a couple days of getting to know Dixie, she began opening up and becoming the sweetest girl! Now, Dixie is super excited to see staff. She loves attention and being praised! Dixie may be a little shy when meeting new people for the first time but tends to warm up quickly, especially with words of encouragement. She loves to be called a good girl! Dixie has been on her best behavior in the shelter but is becoming a little stressed. She appears to be mostly potty trained and knows the cue `sit`. She walks well on a leash too but may need some encouragement when going into new environments. We do not know if Dixie has lived with other animals or children. We encourage adopters to bring their children with them when they come to meet her. Dixie has not been reactive towards other dogs and tends to light up when seeing the other dogs. She does raise her hackles when seeing other dogs initially but has always been friendly. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Dixie is a relatively mellow girl, but she will appreciate regular exercise. Please keep in mind that Dixie will need time to adapt to her new home. If you feel that your home would be a good fit for Dixie, we would love for you to meet her!

Story
Grizz was recently returned to the shelter through no fault of his home, unfortunately his owners` children had dog allergies. Grizz is an active dog who will thrive best with having a positive outlet for his energy. He has been on a couple Miles for Mutts outings and is always excited to go on an adventure! He loves everything about the great outdoors and could make such a great companion to an active person! He loves toys and is happy to play a good game of tug too. Grizz was reported to have great manners in his previous home. He is potty trained and will scratch at the door when he needs to go out. He is also crate trained and was originally crated when alone because he was a counter surfer but his most recent owner had no issues with leaving him free in the home when alone! Grizz can be excited on a leash but typically calms down after he gets his wiggles out. He knows the cues “sit”, “stay”, “come” “ drop it” and “treat”. Grizz is a people pleaser and loves to learn! Physical exercise is of course great, but he will also appreciate mental stimulation in the form of enrichment! We imagine him being great at dog puzzles. Grizz is very snuggly and cuddly. He loves spending quality time with his people and is happy to be included in whatever it is you`re doing! It is unknown how Grizz would do with small animals, but we do imagine he would be a little too excited with them. Grizz has done well with other dogs and enjoys playing. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Grizz did great with the children in his previous home. He was reported to be gentle and loves all the pets and attention! If you feel that your home would be a good fit for Grizz, we would love for you to come by and meet him.
