Story
Meet Cora! Cora is a young Rottweiler mix that was heavily pregnant when she arrived at No Dogs Left Behind. She had six adorable puppies that are now finding families of their own.  Raising puppies is a lot of work so momma Cora is enjoying her new-found freedom and ready to find her people!  Cora is a high-energy dog that loves to be around her humans. When she gets excited, Cora still has a tendency to jump initially but has learned that lying down makes her foster parents happy. When she is calm, Cora enjoys laying next to (or on) her human. She is affectionate and likes to be pet and brushed. Cora loves playing tug or chasing after the ball with the resident dog. She walks well on the leash but does get excited and pulls if she passes another dog. Cora has started visiting outdoor patios and likes to supervise the nearby people and dogs.  Cora enjoys running around in her fenced yard and would love a home that has the time to meet her exercise needs. Outside, Cora thinks she is a guard dog. She no longer reacts to passing people or bikes but still barks at passing dogs.  Cora is interested in birds and squirrels and has fun chasing them out of the yard, protecting her foster family’s garden. Given her prey drive, we expect that Cora would chase cats and would likely not be a good fit for a home with other small animals.   Cora sleeps in the kennel at night and when her foster family is at work. She happily runs into the kennel for meals or a tasty treat. In the kennel, she is quiet and can often be seen lying on her back with her feet sticking straight up in the air. Cora loves to have a durable chew toy in the kennel.  Cora has had no accidents in her foster home and goes outside on a schedule. She is able to sleep through the night without issue. Foster dad lets her outside over lunch to potty and burn off a little energy. Then she returns to the kennel to nap or chew on a bone.  Cora is very smart and has picked up on training quickly. This girl loves to work and would be a good fit for someone that wants to get into canine sports!   Cora is working hard on her impulse control and would benefit from continued training. We think a family without a young kid would be best given her size and jumping for attention. Cora has done well with other dogs and wouldn’t mind a playful canine companion but wouldn’t complain about getting all the attention as an only-dog either. This young momma deserves a loving home to call her own and is excited to meet you!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
This is Shocka! She’s a Terrier mix born 8/22/2019. Shocka is a very loving, playful and trainable dog. Once she is comfortable around her human, you become her whole world. She loves to cuddle and receive belly rubs. Shocka is a short haired dog so she isn't a big fan of cold weather. During the winter months, she will not stay outside too long so short walks is all she is interested in. Anything below 50 degrees is not her thing. She is very much a warm loving dog. She will bask in the sunshine, keep your feet warm and will find the warmest part of your body to cuddle next to. Shocka is a very protective dog and will bark at anything or anyone who comes near you or your home. It is not recommended that her new family have shared walls. Delivery drivers always receive her warning barks even if they’re not delivering to your home. New people also stress her out. Shocka would not do well in a home who has different people visiting the home on a consistent basis. She has been known to bite when strangers get too close. A muzzle would be recommended when she is meeting new people for the first time. Vet visits are unique in that she does better when her human is in the room with her. She will often throw her arms around me in a hug during a vet visit. She is good with other dogs and cats. She is playful but very territorial when it comes to her food. I would recommend feeding her in her kennel to lower the risk of guarding. Shocka has a very adorable underbite and has a cute way of showing you her teeth when she knows she’s done something wrong. It is often difficult to remain annoyed with her when she smiles at you with her underbite. She loves to be petted and is very playful. She loves to chew toys and blankets. She has abandonment anxiety and will chew on things if you leave the home for too long. It is recommended you have lots of chew toys and blankets around to help. She always welcomes me at the door whenever I come home, sit for her treats and is a cuddle buddy at night. She would make an excellent companion and addition to your home as long as you can be patient as she works through some issues. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Hi everyone! I’m Buddy, a happy-go-lucky black Lab with a heart full of love! I was born in February 2022, and even though I had a bit of a rough start, I'm ready to find my forever family! When I was a little pup, walking was a challenge. But my amazing foster mom came along and helped me on my road to recovery! My back legs needed some extra attention. My right leg was a bit weak and didn't bend much, so I used to swing it when I walked. But my left leg? It's super strong and works great! I've been doing physical therapy, which is lots of fun and includes toe wiggles and games (I might have given my foster mom a few ticklish licks during our sessions!). It's important for me to keep my left leg strong, and my foster mom thinks working with a professional physical therapist would be awesome. I can walk and hop pretty well when I go slow, but when I get excited (which is pretty often!), I sometimes scoot around like a happy little wiggle worm! I'm still working on potty training, but my foster mom has a secret: my tail! It goes straight up when I need to go potty, so she knows it's time for a break. Most of the time, I'm just too busy playing to remember! Slippery floors can be a little tricky for me unless I have good traction, and while I can do stairs, I might need a hand going down (those railings can be a bit scary!). But you know what? My spirit is unbreakable! I love *everyone* – kids, adults, and other doggie friends! (I haven't met any cats yet). I do bark in my kennel when I want attention, food, a potty break, or just because I'm feeling chatty! So, a home without shared walls would be best for me. Car rides are awesome, as long as I’m safely buckled up or in my crate. I even have a special 'Help Em Up' harness for all our future adventures together! Are you ready to open your heart and home to a special needs pup with a heart of gold? I can't wait to meet you and give you all my love! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Hi! I'm Gypsy! I'm a beautiful golden retriever mix, about 3 years old (born 10/2021). I'm at that perfect age – not a crazy puppy, but not a slowpoke senior either! I've had a bit of a bumpy start in life, moving between homes a few times. But I'm ready for my *forever* home, and I'm hoping you're the one! My sweet golden eyes are hoping to convince you that I'm the missing piece in your family. Because of my past, I do have some anxiety, especially when kenneled for long periods. But don't worry! I take a daily anxiety medication that helps me feel much better. It's super easy – just hide it in a pill pocket with my morning meal, and I gobble it right down! It's *very* important that I get this medication *every* single morning. It's not something I can take occasionally, and I shouldn't stop taking it suddenly. My foster mom strongly recommends I stay on it for life to help me feel safe and secure after my rough start. I'm a fun-loving girl! I adore playing with toys, kids, and most other dogs. I can be a little bossy with *some* female dogs, but I get along fine with most. Cats? I'm curious at first sniff, but then I usually just ignore them. I've been around cats in other foster homes and done well. I'm a fantastic car rider – I love watching the world go by! I'm also crate trained (I might whine a little when you leave, but I settle down quickly) and house trained. I'm the perfect blend of cuddly and playful. I'll happily snuggle up with you on the couch for movie night, but I'm also ready for some zoomies in the yard or a good run! Won't you please give me my happy ending? I promise to be your loyal and loving companion forever and always. I'm just a brown-eyed girl, waiting for you!

Story
Hello! This is Lord Skippington, but we just call him Skippy. He is a sweet boy, but has his quirks. He does like to bark especially when someone arrives or one of the resident dogs barks. He is good with most dogs, but not all. He doesn't like dogs that are in his face. I haven't personally seen him around kids, but his last foster said he was good with them. He will go potty outside, but he does mark, therefore he wears a belly band in the house. He likes to relax on the couch, but also gets little spurts of energy and likes to play. He's very lovey and likes to give kisses. He sleeps with me, and he sleeps very well. He is small and fun and will be a great companion for someone. Are you his new family?

Story
Hey, I’m Polar. I’m a 2 year old, 55 pound terrier mix. I am 24 inches at the shoulders and 29 inches at head height. I am ohhh so sweet and such a joy to have around. I am learning to leave the resident cats alone. I take a bit to warm up to dogs who try to boss me around. I do okay on a leash. I am kennel and potty trained. I came from a shelter in Mexico where I spent almost a year waiting for my forever home but it never came. I think I will have better luck here. I am absolutely enjoying the cooler weather. I love love love being outside. I listen very well and have already caught on to “leave it,” “look,” “lay down” and “wait.” I have very good recall. My family in Mexico abandoned me and I was waiting for them to come home for two weeks. The rescue realized they weren’t coming home and I was taken in and saved. I have learned to gain confidence inside the home and have become super comfortable. I had hip dysplasia. The doctor decided to remove the balls at the top of my legs to help with pain. Hardwood floors and stairs are a challenge. I’m trying to figure out how to not slip and slide on them. Dog socks have been helping. Aside from taking things slowly in the house, I am an absolute angel (most of the time.) I never chew anything, even my toys unless they’re really crinkly. I just carry my toys around like they are my prize. I love playing ball but don’t always love giving you the ball. I will throw the ball to you or for myself sometimes. I am super treat motivated and have learned the words “go to your room” and “night night.” I will go right in. I am a very silly boy and would love to have a family of my own. I am currently on pain meds and wear a brace sometimes to help with my legs.    Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
