Story
Jack is a five year old Golden Doodle who is an amazing companion. He loves to be active on walks, runs, and anything outdoors. He was adopted in Frostproof, Florida and has been with me since he was 8 weeks old. He has been around a lot of kids throughout his life (my nieces and nephews) and is always making new puppy friends at the dog parks. Jack is eager to please, very smart and well behaved once he knows you. Jack does not usually bark throughout the day, and his temperament although he gets really excited when meeting new people and still jumps sometimes is pretty easy going when it's just you and him at home. He does have bounds of energy and for the first ten minutes of meeting a new person will jump and be all over the place . He then settles down and lies down within 10 minutes.

Story
WOOF! I'M CARTER, a sweet, loving and happy 4-year-old Doberman/Shepherd mix who needs a foster or forever home. I love humans and being around my person or people. I was originally rescued from a California shelter and am now am in Washington! I am house-trained and crate trained (I love my crate) I love running, playing with my squeaky toys, going for walks and snuggling with humans. If you let me, I'll share your bed! I have an easygoing and funny personality, and am looking for someone to offer me a safe and comfortable home. I would do well with a fenced yard as I love to do the zoomies! I'm super smart and I learn quickly: I know the commands of "easy" (when I'm getting a treat), "stay" and I am learning to sit on command. I'm very receptive to training and am food motivated and super smart! I'm good with other dogs and love to wrestle, and I learned quickly to be with horses in a respective way. Still, I would thrive as an only pet, only because I love attention from humans so much! I would do well in an active, calm, family-oriented environment, with a single person, a couple or a family. I love kids, and would love to wrestle with teenagers! I can also be low energy as I love to lay around and relax, too. I can pull on a leash during walks, and be protective of the home and my people, but those are my only traits that could use a little work. :) Overall, I'm a wonderful dog who deserves a great home. I am a gentle giant who will thrive in a home where he’s given structure and consistent training. With love and some minor training, I will be an amazing companion. I weigh 68 lbs.Please email for an application! I'm currently in Washington, but can be transported to North Dakota soon.
