Story
Gibbs is a 6 year old pit mix that loves to play. He is Skittish with strangers, and prefers women. He does well with children. He is Crate and house trained, with several other commands mixed in. He needs a yard to run and play in. Crazy smart, spunky, and a playful goof. He loves to talk, and the idea of fetch, but is still learning to give the ball back. Gets along with puppies, but is unsure of other adult dogs. He usually does okay if there is a boundary and the other dogs don't come up to fast. He Enjoys car rides, and does really good, he even knows how to roll the window down. He enjoys tummy scratches, side pats, a good cuddle, and thinks hes lap dog. When playing, he likes to be close to his person. He will smile when nervous and enjoys giving love nibbles to his person. He is food driven, with food allergies. Will be UTD on shots before going to a new home. Will come with all his toys, blanket, and crate

Story
Pretty mellow dog, not spayed but up to date on shots as of 3/23/2024. Has been around young kids (2-7yo) and a cat. Loves the outdoors (walks, playing in water, and rope/chewy toys). Two different colored eyes. Born 11/30/2023. A bit of a jumpy girl, but understands not to jump on kiddos. When encountering other animals (such as other dogs or cats) on walks, she mostly will ignore them or look at you for direction. Crate/kennel trained, sleeps in there at night. Does have a bit of separation anxiety (chewer) but thrives with her pack. Definitely could use some training in manners and leash manners, but does know commands such as sit lay down shake leave it and kennel. Very laid back for a husky mix, and really not vocal much. Looking for a home that can give her structure or a job to do, preferably with another large breed dog but not a requirement with an experienced owner. Rehoming due to landlord dog breed policy change.

Story
Meet Cotton Candy! Meet the sweetest, funniest, goofiest boy around. Cotton is a little over a year old and full of Aussie energy. Cotton is looking for a family that has a great sense of humor and an understanding of the needs of this fun breed.Cotton is a double merle as is evident by his fluffy, white coat. It also can impact vision and hearing. In Cotton’s case he is completely deaf but does have some vision- mainly shadows. But this has ZERO effect on this boy and the wonderful life he will live!Cotton loves playing with other dogs and is generally fantastic with them- he is still a young, male Aussie that can’t always read other dog’s signals. Occasionally, he irks his companions but he’s a quick study and rarely repeats a misstep. He has been as respectful as he’s able to with the resident cats. Cotton loves all humans he meets- big and small!Cotton is a good boy in his crate and has (knocks on wood) figured out house training like a champ. Cotton loves to go for runs with his foster dad and is great at it. He’d be a wonderful training companion. Cotton is an active boy and needs to keep his brain and body busy. He’s smart and willing. Training him is a joy!Cotton is looking for a family that will encourage, train and help him continue to live a wonderfully full life. Herding dog knowledge is helpful but not necessary if you are willing and able to provide him the stimulation he needs. He does need another, welcoming dog in his new home. The give him a familiar, easy way to learn his new environment.Cotton will be endless laughs and the occasional head shake for his new family. They will truly be the lucky ones!So cute! Super cute!Cotton has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccinations. He has also tested negative for heartworm disease. His adoption fee is $450.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you have questions about Cotton or would like to meet him.

Story
Rosie! Rosie! Rosie!! This girl is joy personified. She is happy, playful, energetic and so very willing!Rosie loves being out and exploring the world. She throughly enjoys her runs with her foster dad and could easily spend the whole day wrestling and playing with her foster buddies. She has been fantastic with all the other dogs in her foster home. She has shown interest in the cats but just because they were new to her. Rosie adores kids of all ages. She is not always spatially aware of how long her body and tail are- so little kids may inadvertently get bumped.Rosie has been wonderful in the house and good in her crate. She’s is a champ at laying by your feet once she settles in.Rosie is really looking for a family to include her in life! She wants to go and see all the things you do! She wants to hike and sniff. Please reach out if you are looking for a wonderful girl who will quickly wiggle into your heart!Rosie has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccinations. She has also tested negative for heartworm disease.Her adoption fee is $300.00 plus sales tax.Please submit an adoption application if you would like to give Rosie a home.
