Story
**Pappas is one of our longest residents and has been in our rescue over TWO years. Transport is available anywhere within the continental US for serious adopters.** Pappas has two hearts and it frankly shows in the amount of love this boy has to give. The first heart is the one you would expect within his body, and the other is the cutest little pattern on the side of his chest. Pappas is a sweetheart who adores just about every human he has ever met. He likes to cuddle and will lay at your feet for hours while you work or watch TV. Check out Pappas' video playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVb0fq1O6Cwkme5a9p_jT7SSnVtisoWi4 Pappas is crate-trained and knows commands such as sit, lay down, and stay. He is also trained to stay on his bed when guests first enter the home! Pappas is house-trained and is generally not destructive with anything except his stuffed toys. Pappas previously participated in shelter playgroups for gentle play. Unfortunately, due to an incident while he was recovering from surgery, Pappas needs very slow introductions to new dog friends so that he can feel safe. Pappas is not recommended to live with cats or small dogs due to prey drive. Pappas came into Better World Rescue from Stockton Shelter, where he was saved within 2 minutes of his euthanasia deadline. He was almost a goner simply because he had a mass on his rear end. Thankfully our veterinarian has removed the mass with good margins and no further treatment is expected. His butt is looking good as new! Pappas has also had a very rough life and was a frequent flyer overall at Stockton Shelter. He had an FHO surgery and knee surgery due to both poor living situations and untreated traumatic injury prior to rescue. He walks a little funny but the surgery has greatly reduced his previous pain from these injuries. Pappas is microchipped, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations. All Better World Rescue dogs qualify for private and/or group training at no additional cost to help ensure a successful adoption. To meet Pappas, fill out our short adoption application: www.betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application Once an application is filled out, our volunteers will reach out to you within one business day to answer any questions and schedule a meet and greet.

Story
Akio is the ultimate velcro husky and has the fur to match. He will cling to you and be there to observe what you are doing every minute of the day. This boy does not mind sharing his bed with his humans and favorite children. He is an incredible cuddler and lives for affection. One of his favorite activities is getting all over belly rubs. Check out Akio's video playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVb0fq1O6Cwm_WmZYio3lFz7fX0tN3l__ Akio loves to play, whether it is chasing his ball around the yard or playing tug of rope with you. He gets morning zoomies where he loves to run around the house, up the stairs and then back again. He will fill your mornings with fun and play, starting off your day on the right foot. Akio is moderate energy, which is nice in a husky. He enjoys short walks, couch time, brushing, fetch and tug of war. His favorite toys are rope toys and balls! Akio currently lives with children and does great with them. He is a very affectionate boy. We believe Akio would also be fine with other dogs with slow introductions. He is polite and respectful when he sees them out and about at the vet office or groomers. We are not sure how Akio would do with cats as he does not currently live with any. Akio is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. All Better World Rescue dogs qualify for complimentary private and/or group training to help ensure a successful adoption. If you would like to meet Akio to see if he is a good fit for your family, please fill out our short adoption application: www.betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application Upon receipt of your application, one of our passionate volunteers will call within one business day to answer any questions and schedule a meet.

Story
Isla is a beautiful White German Shepherd who loves to play and run. She would love an athletic family to take her out for fun and adventures. Isla loves swimming, training sessions, grooming time and tug of war. Her favorite game by far though is keep away and she can play that game for hours! Isla is very friendly with people and does great with children! She can get over excited when meeting other dogs, and has prey drive towards cats, so at this time she is recommended to be an only dog. With slow introductions she may do well with another friendly dog. Isla is super smart and curious and is always ready to serve her humans to the best of her ability. She does great with training and picks up new skills quickly. Isla is currently working on her quiet voice when around other dogs and also to ignore the all-too tempting kitties. Isla is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. All Better World Rescue dogs qualify for complimentary private and/or group training to help ensure a successful adoption. If you would like to meet Isla to see if she is a good fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application: www.betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application Upon receipt of your application, one of our passionate volunteers will call you within one business day to answer any questions and schedule a meet.

Story
Montana is the sweetest dog to walk this planet. She loves EVERYONE and I mean everyone (except cats). She has zero stranger danger and thinks everyone is her friend. She is happy to exchange some super sweet kisses for a butt scratch or two! She is super eager to please and loves making her people happy. A well rounded girl who would do fantastic in most any home. Montana loves couch time, fetch, keep away/chase games, butt scratches, and car rides! Montana loves with other dogs and loves to play with them! Montana does not currently live with cats, but we do suspect her of some prey drive so we do not currently recommend her to live with any. Montana's favorite toys are squeaky stuffed toys and any kind of ball to throw around and chomp and chase. While Montana may only have three legs, she truly does not let it slow her down! She can keep up with all the other dogs and will romp and play with the best of them. Montana is house-trained and is eager to please. Montana is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. All Better World Rescue dogs qualify for complimentary private and/or group training to help ensure a successful adoption. If you would like to meet Montana to see if she is a good fit for your family, please fill out our short adoption application: www.betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application Upon receipt of your application, one of our passionate volunteers will call you within one business day to answer any questions and schedule a meet.

Story
Pupper aka Charlie, is a cuddle bug that loves his humans and getting a few head pets.

Pupper does well with cats and children and loves his couch time and short walks. He has moderate energy and is smart, vocal, loyal, and affectionate. Pupper does great with female dogs but he is a bit territorial, so male dogs are not recommended for him. Pupper is up to date on all vaccines, chipped, and neutered.
