Story
Who is ready to snuggle into the holiday season with a new best friend and sofa surfer? We are thrilled to introduce the new love of your life ...💗🌸Harli🌸💗This girl has it all! ✅🟢Wanna play? She is your girl! ✅🟢 How about hikes in the forrest? Yupper pupper! Her favorite part of walks is finding bushes and leaf piles to explore. We gets our business done real quick when we find the right grove of thistle! ✅🟢 Maybe just some snuggling, cuddling and the best hugs ever you say? ⬆️ Stop the search-this is the gal for you !!✅✅ easy car rider. She never tells you how to drive! 🏁✅🌕She is a short burst of medium energy walker. Being cooped up is not for her. She likes to move around and be a busy bee but sadly her 6x4 kennel gets her a little stir crazy. When she gets out for walks she does pull a bit at first. Once the potty break is done she settles down for a much easier walk. She walks easily on the harness lead and training collar with her favorite volunteers.She does not require long walks, but frequent outings will benefit her more. She will need daily walks to get out and smell the world.Frequent breaks to stop-drop-and roll into your lap for cuddles and hugs are mandatory. ✅🟢💗 Almost as important as her exercise, is her need to have her LOVE tank refilled. She is desperate to give and receive love. She will be so excited to see you. She gets her feelings hurt when the staff and volunteers walk by her without giving her love. How can they deprive her of the love she needs she wonders? Do they noT know her tank is close to empty? She devises a plan. "I will stand up and tell them my tank is empty."Nope didn't work."I will move my bed around ....that will surely tell them i am now critically low on love."Still nothing? (Ok she steps up her game. ) "Singing ...that should do it. "Yup here they come ready to pour the love on me... "wait where you going? no. I wasn't asking for food."Sigh.... So misunderstood!Please come and ask for Harli. Everyone that has spent a nice car ride, social event, and adoption event with her says the same thing. "This girl is all about love! "Can you help us fill her tank? You will not be disappointed. She is an all around good girl. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Perfect compact size. Beautiful coat. Loves wearing costumes...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Play group Queen! Best friends with. Boots and Burton....Now that play group is a fun show!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️She has Excitable energy out of the gate with dogs and cats, but can be redirected and can calm down.She's spent time in a home with cats. She will chase the cats that run and play. She can ignore cats that sit and chill. She's responds to correction from her hooman and is working on "leave it." She will need her hooman to help her manage her passions. Leash training inside the home will help with this process. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️She Loves her yard and playing in her pool.....But she loves you more!!❤️❤️Please get your app in don't make her wait for your love!

Story
Welcome to the super dome! Was that super or supper? Yum sign me yup for both. Extra supper please and I've got all the supers ✅✅ checked. 🦮49 pounds...handsome hunk looking for love.Hobbies:Not sure about game hunting but i loves games and hunting for treats so I guess game hunting works! Retrieving is over rated. Chase me is better play. Voted most likely to work in customer service or as a Walmart greeter. This super Lab Loves everybody! Skills:✅Super skilled at smiling -watch out for those pointy things as I say hi. My teefs can't stop. ✅Super excited to meet you. ✅Super trainable! ✅Super fine energy for all day play. 🍟Super size those fries and let's get outta here. I've got training to do and games to play and treats to hunt. I've got jumping beans packed and my lickity licks ready. Just a little help with my hocus pocus to focus and I'll be golden.....Wait I thought I was in the lab? Good as gold? You bet. That's better. Things I'm working on. ✅ Sit. yes. Got it. ❓Down? Only after a super supper and I fall over. ❓Laughing while jumping. (apparently not something hoomans like.)❓Licking enthusiastically with accidental teeth. (also not popular. )Ok I have a few manners to work on. But I really try to be a good boy. But it's hard when I'm so full of wiggles to get out. Maybe you could help me control my exploding wiggles. I know I can go from goodest to bestest boy in no time! 👍✅ animals...if they can handle my energy and smiling habits.👍❤️✅hoomans. I Will probably do better with hoomans with height so they can jump like me (recommending 12 plus years old) with the understanding that the jumping is part of his self directed exercise program right now and may need leash restrictions in the house to correct.🦮Labradors thrive in company and adore extra attention and playing games with their owners. 🦮Many Labradors are happiest when they have something to gnaw on, so dog-safe chew toys are a great investment.With TLC -training love and commitment this athlete will be your best friend to adventure with! Stop by and get your Free licks and fill out that Chico app before he picks a new best friend. You don't want to miss out on this handsome guy😎 Primary Color: Yellow Weight: 64 Age: 2yrs 5mths 3wks

Story
Hello and pleased to meet you. I'm Funyun! That's right a fun- youngin! I'm as fun as a bag of you guessed it... Funyuns! Here's a bit about me:My Background:I have lived my life with my dog Mom and a hooman. Then my mom got taken and my hooman took me to stay at this other place and would come by to visit. Then one day he didn't come anymore and I had to leave. So now I'm here. I'm meeting lots of nice hoomans. 🐶 I came in with two younger pups that I stayed with some at the place. I don't mind walking by the other yappers here. 🫒I am 63 pounds.⏳I need some time to learn new things. If someone could be patient with me and help me build my confidence, I will be the best dog.💡 I am smart and willing to please my hooman. ❎I am not fan of cats. I have had very limited experiences with things beyond the length of my leash. Cats are one of those things I don't know about and when they make their hissy sound and smack my face I get upset. I would like to find a new home where I can live inside WITHOUT cats. ❎ I'm a bit timid with creeky doors and the sounds inside the house. Learning basic training should help my fears go away.🏡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👧 Since I've always only lived by myself and one hooman, I may not do well in a large house with alot of activity and kids. It is not what I am used to right now. Hobbies: ✅Exploring on my easy medium walks. I have so much to catch up on. ✅Sharing snacks. I'll let you have the Funyuns. I'll take the milkbones. ✅Hanging out.✅Just being with a hooman who loves me.That's about it for me. Please come and visit me. It might take a few visit until I really connect with you, I've been moved around a bit. I'll try not to be any trouble for you, give me a chance to love you! I won't let you down.👍✅hoomans👍✅🐶👎❌ 🐈‍⬛🙀😿👎creeky doors make me nervous. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 63.2 Age: 5yrs 7mths 0wks

Story
BumbleBee has arrived here on planet HSWC along with 2 other Autobots, they are posing as dogs so they can blend in. BumbleBee is a sweet fella who has had some modifications done to streamline his ears. Maybe to reduce the air resistance and run faster. BumbleBee has been designed with a beautiful coat and a sweet personality. As he tries to figure things out on this new planet he is working his way into the hearts of the staff and volunteers. He is staying under the radar, trying to be a low key observer of our community. He presents himself timid, then friendly, with a hint of humor. As he expands his friend base we hope to learn all of his secrets. Come out and watch the transformation from autobot to loyal best friend. He has been through alot with his two companions. It would seem they were previously kept inside and well taken care of before they were dumped together. Possibly mother/ sister and father family unit. They keep their kennels neat and are respectful of others.Bumble has met some cats and seemed to be inquisitive but timid. He's processing what they are. His new leader will need to teach him the purpose of the fuzzy friends. Positive reinforcement is essential to success with Bumble. He might have come from a harsh environment. He is learning to love. Learning to see the good in people. All things new need to go slowly as he transitions to your world. Separating and low key are the keys to Bumble's Success. The two week transition shut down will be important for him to understand what is expected and not become overwhelmed. We know he is excited to see Mom/sister. But beyond that relationship he will need time to adjust to other dogs. He may not have had the best father son relationship. 😻✔️ok with cats🐶 ✔️ok with Mom/Sister dogs.❓other dogs unknown.He seems excited and curious as he passes by other dogs. Easy to walk up the kennels.🚖 ✔️Sweet personality. ❤️ All the charm of a vintage camero- Good looks and zippy around town! ✔️Housetrained.🚫no groups of people. Too much, too soon might be more than he can process right now🚫no young kids right now. Very timid.🚫👋no fast hands. Even when he knows you, quick movements are still startling and cause this fine fella to transform back into a scared autobot. 🍔food will always be high value item for him. He came to this planet thin. Feed separately. Understanding that he might have had an abrupt owner previously. Trust is coming but it takesT TimeL LoveC consistencyAnd patience.He will become the best, most loyal friend❤️ Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 54.2 Age: 2yrs 4mths 2wks

Story
They call me Timberland so I guess I've got big boots to fill for such a funsize little guy! I came here with my buddy Heinz and he seems to be doing well for himself and making a lot of friends here. Me on the other hand? I like my own space. I mean like A LOT of space I just cant help but feel like there's so much more waiting for me outside these kennel walls. My favorite time of day is when I get to hang out with my walkers outside. I walk just like a gentleman with my head high and might even turn a trick if you've got a little treat in exchange. When the lights go down and all my walker friends go home I dream of a quiet home I can go to. Maybe someplace where there's no other dogs barking and no cats hissing at me? If I had some time to get comfortable and confident in my own home and my own skin, then I'm sure there will be more furry friends out there for me in the near future.

🎵 "Our Boots is made for walking, 🎵 and that's just where she starts, 🎵 and one of these days she's going to 🎵 walk into your heart"👢👢👢👢👢Super sweet personality. Always happy. Cuddle maniac. Warning: you won't be able to get work done or chores or move off the sofa from underneath this 33 pound love bug. 🥾🥾🥾Spirited. Smart.Highly trainable.Needs to be taught how to manage her excitement. 🐶😸✔️Showing good manners right now with other animals. 🐾🐾🐾🐾Starts off low energy and ends up medium-high when she gets her zoomies warmed up.33 pounds.Boots is a young gal who is trying to figure things out based on her limited experience with life. When you meet her she will appear timid and unsure lacking confidence to know what the proper response is. She will cuddle in your lap and she is the perfect size to snuggle right under your arm. You will be hooked. The more you love on her, the more excited she will become. Not knowing how to temper that excitement she will being to bounce around and you will wonder how this sweet love bug just turned into a butterfly. Training will help her become confident, know the rules and expectations. The cuddling is the easy part, the sit for 7 seconds is going to be her challenge. She will be a wonderful companion, best friend and snuggle buddy. With boundaries in place, she will become her best self.
