Story
I am very energetic and need exercise. I am a very affectionate dog and always want to cuddle. I will crawl right into your lap for a hug. I was raised with another dog and we have always played well together. I play rowdy, but I am good natured. I have no history of biting. I prefer to play chase and tug. I like kids, but need to be watched closely with little kids, due to my playful nature. I can get very excitable when people come to the door and need correction. I am fearful of loud noises (thunder and fireworks). I warm up to new people within minutes when encouraged by someone I trust to meet the new person. I shed throughout the year and have a short single coat.

Story
Young, single male looking for long term commitment and love! About me: I crave approval and affection. I'm willing to give you my all if you can give me a little patience and time to get to know you. I am very social and friends with all the dogs at the park! I even like cats. I'm happy to go out anywhere, anytime or just chill and snuggle on the couch. I'm not a picky eater and am always grateful for a good meal. I love treats but prefer affection from my people even more. I am a protector of my home and pack. I really wish to please so I listen well and learn quickly. All of my human foster family agree that I'm sweet, charming, and smart - a total catch! Why am I am still available after almost a year of searching? I've been actively improving myself for months with leash manners and socialization with humans. I do have a microchip and am up to date on all vaccinations. The assets I'll come with are a kennel, bed, toys, clothes, and food. Let's meet!

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I took Stella and Galaxy in as a foster for a family member short term and that has turned to them retracting ownership and I cannot afford nor care for these girls appropriately and they deserve better. I am hoping to see both girls adopted together as they are bonded sisters and enjoy each others company. They enjoy a lot of time outdoors and an absolute ton of snuggling. Both girls are very loving and caring for people. They do fairly well with people in general (they like to hug). Galaxy is not the biggest fan of photos, I will get some soon.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She has a lot of energy. I am a single mom and I have to work a lot. I cannot walk her enough and I do not have a yard. She needs more attention. She is sweet. Non aggressive. She will bark at strangers but has never even shown any aggression toward a person, child, or another dog. She will in fact roll on her stomach if approached by another dog. She is three. I keep trying to make it work, but I feel bad for Courtney because it’s not fair to her. She would be less energetic if she was walked more. The Great Dane side of her needs it.

Looking for a loving home for this guy. His name is Polo, and he's a 11-month-old Husky/Lab mix. He is neutered, vaccines up to date, crate trained, and good around children. Reason for re-homing: Our child has a severe pet allergy that has gotten worse over the 9 months we've had Polo.
