Story

Bodhi loves just about everyone, is energetic but can be chill too, LOVES car rides and going places, and rarely barks. He loves treats and pets. He loves his kitties and visitors. Walks are a breeze. His one special need is that he has pretty bad separation anxiety. According to his DNA profile, he's half pittie, quarter GSD, and a quarter bulldog (English and American). He's smart and sweet, and always makes you feel loved. He's 66ish pounds, and the adoption fee is a donation to a local shelter of your choice. I will be working more, and my other human will be working soon so he will be alone a lot more at a time when it's really difficult to find someone to check on him. He needs someone financially stable who maybe works from home or can take him to work with them, and who will use his crate to keep him safe (the crate comes with him) when they are not home. My finances are shaky, and I won't be able to be home much soon.

Story

Jesùs, or Sùs for short, is a sweet loving dog that gets along with all animals and humans! He is 3 years old and is the perfect amount of play and laziness ;) Unfortunately he has severe allergies and has been difficult for us to keep up with. He requires a special diet and is on immunotherapy and apoquel to keep his allergies at bay. We have had him allergy tested so we have his full profile list of all he is allergic to so you know what foods and allergens to avoid. We have 3 busy kids and it has just been too hard to keep up with his needs. He needs someone or a family that can make sure he doesn't have lapses in meds so he can have the best quality of life!

LunaHusky Spayed Female45 lbs. I was adopted and brought back to the shelter due to running over to the neighbor`s house and eating their cat`s food.The last year I have primarily been an outside dog and was fine with it.I like kids and dogs so would be fine in a busy household.I am a very sweet and friendly girlI really love getting pets and attention Like most huskies, I do like to escape my space and have a taste of freedom I would do best with a fenced in yard or a way to keep me contained outsideI also sing the songs of my fellow huskies.

Story

StellaSiberian HuskyLife before the shelter was rough, my owner had a fire and my sister and I had nowhere to go. My sister has found her forever home but I`m still searching. I had heartworm when I first got here but I have been cleared and gotten a clean bill of health! I wasn`t properly socialized so I`m a little backwards but with time and patience, I`m sure I will make a great companion and bond hard with my person. A home with other k9 friends would be best, I get along great with them and they will help build my confidence. I do know how to walk on a leash but don`t like going very far from my place (the shelter). A quiet home with no tiny humans would be best since I`m awkward and new things are hard for me. I`ve been in the shelter searching for my perfect home for some time, so if you`re willing to get to know me, I`d be happy to oblige.

Story

GRACE - REDUCED ADOPTION FEEPug mix12 yrs oldHi, my name is Grace and I came to the shelter when my long time owner passed away. Everyone is very nice and tells me how good i am. I love ice cream, car rides, lots of attention and cuddling. I do walk well on a leash and would love to find someplace quiet and comfortable to just relax and snuggle. I was adopted out by a nice older couple and unfortunately was brought back due to needing a walker to get around and me being underfoot. They were afraid I might trip them so I`m back at the shelter again. If you have a quiet home and need a companion, please come and meet me.

Story

AndreTerrier/Mastiff MixI weigh in at a whopping 85 pounds. I came to the shelter as a stray.I was very shy when first coming into the shelter. Now I am feeling more comfortable and can get the Zoomies when separated out for training sessions. I also love to get my belly rubbed.Recently, I was a return adoption due to biting the other dog in the home over a rawhide. So a meet and greet is a must, and no rawhides given in the home.I do notice cats, squirrels, and birds on my walk and can be tough to handle when I see them.I am dog selective here at the shelter. Mellow females are my favorite. Come in and meet me; after a few belly rubs you`ll fall in love!
