Story
Bentley is a loving, energetic, and extremely friendly big fluff. He loves going to the dog park to socialize and play fetch but also loves laying around the house. We have a toddler who he is amazing with but unfortunately has developed severe allergies to him. He is so smart, well trained, and deserves a family that is able to give him tons of affection. He’d love to accompany you on a run or hike!

Story
Ruby is a sweet dog, she is very skittish and does not do well with other dogs or strangers. She has high anxiety around other dogs. She doesn’t know normal commands even after training. She is very sweet with our other chiweenie, but does try to dominate her. She would be best in a no other pet household with tons of attention, patience and time. She is a barker and has cause many issues, and does ok on a harness/leash.

Story
Archie is good with most other dogs, and is getting better everyday! He loves engaging and learning new things, and has earned his AKC Trick Dog Novice certification! He is a great hiking and running partner as well. Archie is a pure puppy. He needs continued guidance in settling when he is over excited. He can be nervous when meeting new people, but does well with structure. CRCCS will be happy to show you how Archie prefers to be introduced and settled! Archie needs someone with a very active lifestyle, that can also continue his structure both in public, and in the home. He would enjoy having another playful companion to help burn some of that extra energy!
