Story
Arlo loves to run and play outside, he also love to cuddle and be a lazy boy. He needs someone that can give him firm direction and proper correction. Arlo has a protective nature and would do better in a calm environment with little change. Would not do well with young children. I am unsure how he would do with other dogs besides my other one now. He doesn’t do well letting my other dog have his own space which has caused issues. He is also crate trained and goes in well with a treat.

Story
Love isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. And Relay has the heart and soul to go the distance by your side! Relay is a fun and happy go lucky guy who takes life in stride. He just doesn't want to hear any jokes about three-legged relay races - he already knows them all! This fun loving tri-pod loves to play with his dog friends here at the shelter and would likely do well in a home with another dog. Relay has a rough and rowdy play style. Meet and greets are recommended for any potential canine siblings to make sure they and Relay would be a good match. If you are looking for a confident adventure buddy, Relay is your boy! He is always up for a game of fetch or tug or to head out on a walk or hike. Relay is an active dog that would do best in an active home to help keep his mind and body busy. Looking for a brewery or restaurant buddy? Relay has been a favorite to take on doggie day outs from the shelter where he loves to hang out on patios and enjoy some good company! When he’s not working on his fitness, Relay loves to snuggle up with his favorite humans and his “emotional support ball”. He’s sweet and snuggly and his heart is as big as his blocky head! So don’t walk – RUN - to meet this sweet handsome and athletic boy today! He’d love to pass the baton to a family of his own to love! If you’re interested in meeting Relay, race now to his adoption application and fill that out to schedule a meet and greet. Please note that meet and greets are by appointment only. Relay is 3 years old and weighs 61 lbs. All of our animals come fully vetted so he is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines and preventatives.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, my name is Remy and I love to run and play in the yard.  I would make a great running partner since I have lots of energy.  I'm not a fan of kitties but I do like some dogs, with a slow introduction.  I would do best with older kids since I get very excited and might knock the little ones down by accident.  I am anxiously looking for my forever home and I hope you are the one that will give me a chance.  I am still pretty young and have lots of love to give.  Remy's adoption fee is $175; he is neutered, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on all of his vaccines. If you are interested in meeting Remy, please contact us at adoption@ihadro.org or, you can find an adoption application at www.ihadro.org/formVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2024, 12:22 am
