Give a dog a pool and he`ll swim forever! Pongo is our huggable, water dog that loves to play, fetching toys out of the water every time we throw them in! He knows how to sit and shake, and you may catch him putting his paw out to you because he wants you to hold his hand! Despite his good intentions, Pongo can be a rough player and would do best in an adult only home with someone ready to match his speed. ***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED******Thanks to generous donors, Pongo will go home with a FREE adoption success kit (includes a crate, collar, leash, and other goodies)!!!***

Story
Meet Dylan, a sweet but nervous pup who`s learning to trust and find comfort in his surroundings. He’s gentle with treats, often giving a little lick through the kennel door to say hello. Dylan can be a cautious walker, frequently looking back at the person walking him and sometimes weaving between their legs for reassurance. In new environments, Dylan takes his time to adjust, carefully sniffing around before he begins to relax a little. While he may be a bit shy at first, he’s always curious and will approach slowly to check things out. Dylan is still building confidence, but with patience and kindness, he’s making great strides and is sure to bond deeply with someone who can offer him a calm, understanding environment.
