Story
Kane is looking for a new home. Overall he does great with other dogs, cats and kids. The reason why we are rehoming is my other dogs have been picking on him. He is an active dog but is completely fine laying on the couch and hanging out. He is very shy in the beginning but when he warms up, he’s the biggest cuddle bug. Potty trained and crate trained.

Story
A portion of Coco's adoption fee has been sponsored by her friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $275.00 will be applied during the contract process Hi, my name is Coco! From the Foster: A typical day with Coco, I am home with Coco all day, with the exception of appointments, errands, etc. After nearly 2 years in our home, Coco has settled in and become a delightful companion dog. She gets along well with, and seems to take cues from, my black lab with a calm temperament. I have modified living arrangements such that the cats are kept separate from her- she seems to have high prey drive and due to limited vision perhaps cant really tell them apart from a squirrel. I had hoped after this long hearing and smelling them, and occasionally seeing them through the gate, she would have become accustomed to them, but alas she is just not a kitty dog. I keep Coco's medication pretty consistent, aiming for 12 hours apart. Coco and Lucy (my resident dog) both sleep on my bed all night. They don't get up until I do, and are great about going right outside and then in to eat and Coco has her oral meds, eye meds, and insulin. She is a champ taking her meds, doesn't resist at all. Throughout the day, Coco and Lucy go between my office and bedroom, taking long naps (they are 9 after all). Coco loves to race outside into the fenced yard with Lucy and search for real or imagined critters. The only thing that deters her is rain! A strange sound or presence will get her raising the alarm, but she settles down quickly and back to her sniffing and taking long luxurious naps in the sun. She may alarm due to her limited vision, but no significant limitations. Coco loves to be where I am, and would rather tag along in the car than be left behind, but thanks to occasional medication and my very mellow black lab, she is feeling more secure and safe as time goes on. She does fine out of the crate in the house, does not chew on unacceptable items, and can wait several hours to go outside. She has never had an accident indoors. Coco loves a long walk, especially a leisurely sniffari. Due to a lot of training, she is not nearly as concerned about other dogs out on walks as she used to be. I try not to get too close for comfort for her, and help her feel safe and confident. SHH can set an adopter up with ongoing training, too. She is pretty stressed, though, if she cant get out of perceived threat area, so instead of dog parks or busy recreation areas, we stick with the familiar neighborhood and a quiet regional nature park. Evenings are super-relaxed. Right after eating their dinner, both pups settle in for reading, watching a movie, or going to bed early. Coco loves to lay on the couch next to a warm body. She isn't a lap dog, not a hugger, but does love to snuggle. Through the course of my veterinary care at The Bond Between it was found that I have diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and mature cataracts. Luckily, my foster and the doctors at The Bond Between and BluePearl took great care of me, and I am now ready to find my forever home! I had surgery for my cataracts, and I can see much better now. Future adopters should know that due to my multiple endocrine diseases, I will need to continue to work with a primary veterinarian, as well as an internal medicine specialist (I am currently under the care of Dr. Mazepa at BluePearl.) To manage my diabetes, my adopter will need to administer insulin everyday, as well as monitor my glucose levels with the guidance of a veterinarian. I am also on medication for my hypothyroidism. It is recommended that discuss with my future vet clinic about recommended follows ups and labwork (CBC, chemistry, UA, Fructosamine and T4).

Story
A portion of Aldridge's adoption fee has been sponsored by his friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $375.00 will be applied during the contract process Hi, my name is Aldridge. I also go by Bubba, Aldi, and Alds! I am a big, goofy, energetic, funny guy and I would love to find a forever home, so let me tell you a little more about myself. I have been in my current foster home for a little over 8 months now! I love to go on walks, the longer the better, and a few a day would be nice too...I have a lot of energy. I can get pretty excited and with that comes a whole jumble of noises, I get so excited I just cannot hide it! Some dogs can be scared of my excitement, and I can be a little overbearing sometimes (I don't know what personal space is) so slow intros work best for me! I can also be a little picky, so not all dogs are for me but hey that's okay! I have some quirks as my foster mom would say, for example, I can be reactive towards skateboards, delivery trucks, and a few other things, but my foster mom and I are working on it and I have improved since I first got here! I am also not a fan of little kids...they just are not for me! I prefer big kiddos and adults as I can be as some would call a bull in a china shop! I love my stuffed squeaker toys, balls, and ropes. On walks my foster mom calls me the hunter because when I catch a squirrel or bunny scent, it's go time, laser focused and on the prowl! I sometimes even try to climb trees, it makes my foster mom laugh! If there is someone or something outside the window don't worry I will make you aware! I love to use my doggy voice! I know that I can be a lot, but I have come so far and I am really hoping there is someone out there for me! Thanks for reading a little bit about me! -Love Aldridge Check out my video: https://youtube.com/shorts/Tesf09LvU6A?feature=share History: From a shelter in Alabama

Story
A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by my friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $475.00 will be applied during the contract process. Hi, I'm Greg! I came from one of our Tribal Partners! Greg is looking for a special person or family to adopt him. Greg loves playing and interacting with people, learning new training cues, and spending time outside. He's fully potty trained and is fine left out of his crate at night and while we're gone. Greg can get a little mouthy when he plays and sometimes forgets his size. For that reason, he'd be best in a home without young kids. Greg's biggest challenge is his reactivity while outside. This means he'll bark, jump, and get really stressed when he sees another dog, any small critter, or cats. We've been making progress but he'll likely always need more personal space. Shortly after arriving at The Bond Between, Greg was diagnosed with Renal (Kidney) Dysplasia. This means his kidneys didn't fully develop, are working really hard to keep up, and will eventually fail. To make things easier on his kidneys and slow their deterioration, Greg now eats a prescription diet which he absolutely loves. He visits the vet several times a year to check his kidney function and has been doing fantastic! Watching Greg's fun and playful spirit, you'd never guess he had a medical condition. He LOVES tennis balls and squeaky toys and wants to bring happiness to the lives of everyone he meets. What will help Greg thrive in the future? Someone who knows about or is willing to learn about reactive dogs. An adopter who understands that Greg isn't the type of dog you can take to the neighborhood coffee shop or busy lake for a walk. He's not a big fan of car rides either, but loves being outside in a more private outdoor environment. Someone who is okay with the cost of his current and future medical needs. An adopter who will love him! He has lots of love to give and is such a good, sweet boy!

Story
A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by my friends at Tito's Handmade Vodka. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $375.00 will be applied during the contract process. Hi there! I'm Bloom, a lovable foxhound with a heart full of joy and a tail that never stops wagging. House Trained and Low Maintenance: I'm potty trained and can hang out in the house without needing a crate. I'm a good girl and just love to relax on the couch or curl up next to you for some Netflix time. Toys and games are fun, especially a good game of tug! Playful Explorer: I adore running around in fenced-in areas where I can sniff and explore to my heart's content. It's pure joy to see me running free! Great with Kids and Dogs: I'm good with kids and used to having little ones around. I get along best with other dogs smaller than me.. I'm currently best friends with a Saint Bernard, but I can be selective with larger dogs. I can also get a bit jealous when other dogs are playing, so I'd be happiest with one other dog or as the only pup in the home. Feline Friendly: I've done well with dog-savvy cats but would need to avoid homes with cats that aren't used to dogs. Unique Reactions: I'm a very expressive girl and react to new people, other dogs, and passing cars with my enthusiastic hound bark. When going on walks I will pull on the leash when something catches my attention, so I'll thrive in a home with a strong handler and a tall (6ft) privacy fence or private land where I can feel secure and happy. Special Support: I'm on medication, which helps me stay calm and relaxed. I'll need a family who's comfortable with giving this medication (I love treats so they are a great hiding place for pills).

Story
A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by my friends at Tito's Handmade Vodka. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $375.00 will be applied during the contract process. Hi, my name is Rocket! I'm an owner surrender from Minnesota. From the foster: It's now been six months since we started fostering Rocket, and here at home we call her Mary Lou! She is doing amazing at learning and growing! She's been working hard, and it shows. She was off of the adoptable dog list during this time but she's come a long way and is now ready to find her loving forever home. Anxiety is still something she deals with, and may always deal with to a degree, but medications (both Rx and over the counter) are really helping her out. Slow introductions with people continue to be necessary although she relaxes much more quickly than she did when she first arrived at our home. It'll take some more time, but we think this won't always be an issue for her. (and see note about TBB offering training to help with this included as part of her adoption!) She is an energetic puppy and loves to play hard with her toys and run around the yard, and then she crashes just as hard for a nap. Her rumbly snores are so cute! The couch is her favorite spot for naps, and she sleeps in bed with us at night. She likes to lay back-to-back or spoon with you. Mary Lou loves to be close by and will follow you all over the house. Regarding playing, she has now mastered 'shake' and is almost there with 'drop it' when we throw her tennis balls. She also knows 'sit' and 'stay', and - depending on her mood - she comes when called. Treats are a big motivator for her. Because she likes to be around her people so much, she doesn't like to be left alone for too long. She is not destructive at all and she doesn't have accidents, she just gets lonely. Fortunately for flexible work schedules, Mary Lou hasn't been home alone for more than about a 5 hour stretch. Even when we just pop out for a quick errand she is thrilled when we return home. Things we continue to work on: * Meeting people. As I mentioned above, this is improving! And once she feels safe, she loves the attention and having more friends to play with. * She still doesn't do great on walks. We're working on it, and this is something the trainer can help with as well. * Mary Lou has not been introduced to cats or other dogs yet. We have lots of bunnies, squirrels, and chipmunks in our yard, and she doesn't chase them. She seems to have a low hunting drive. A few times we've seen her just stop and look at the baby bunnies with her tail wagging. I think that with the right introduction she would probably be ok (and would likely love) living with a cat. Dog introductions will take more work. Mary Lou requires a fenced yard and someone who will take the time to finish helping her feel safe, and show her how great life can be. She is uncomfortable around loud noise and would prefer a quieter home. Mary Lou will thrive being part of a family that isn't gone for long periods of time. At this point, continuing with her anxiety protocol is also necessary. It's possible with training and growing out of puppyhood that it won't always be part of her life. Sweet and silly, Mary Lou is an absolutely amazing dog and is 1000% worth the effort. Literally every day we say that we wish we could keep her as part of our family. If you are looking for a cuddly friend who will love you with her whole heart and will make you laugh multiple times a day, Mary Lou is the girl for you. * Are you thinking about putting in an application for me but you're seeing that I may need some help with training? Not to worry! My adoption comes with training support because The Bond Between wants to help me and my forever family. They know that some dogs need some extra support after adoption and they are all about setting me up for success. You can ask to speak to a trainer if you'd like more information about it. The trainer will tell you that I am worth it! *
