Story
HELLO HELLO HELLLLLLLLLLLLLO! I`m TAZZZZZZZZ! I am a WILD WILD MAN. Well, I`m not a man I guess, I`m just a pup still and I have TONS of maturing and growing to still do. The humans say I`m gonna be a big boy, so I need someone well suited for my needs. I haven`t really received proper training or direction before, so I can be a bit of a handful. It`s not really my fault necessarily, I just like to have fun and think everything is a game. Nobody taught me not to jump up when I want things, or to not put your hand in my mouth because I`m excited. I`m still learning the ropes of life, and hoping someone patient can take their time teaching me. I am very fun, friendly, and playful. I`ll always keep things interesting and make you laugh a lot. If you have the time to dedicate to meeting all my high energy needs, I think I`ll make a good boy for someone. Just give me some time to shine and let`s go on this wild adventure called life together?See Taz on Tiktok: https://tinyurl.com/3nd5d7vr

Story
Hi there! I`m Cooper, your friendly neighborhood goofball. I`m a young pup full of curiosity and energy. I love to play and explore, though I can be a bit of a scaredy cat at times. I get excited and jump up to greet everyone, and I`m known to be a bit mouthy, but it`s all in good fun. I`ve lived with cats, dogs, and kids, so I`m used to a lively household. I`m also a big cuddler, and I love to snuggle up at the end of a playful day. You should adopt me because I promise to fill your life with laughter, love, and endless fun. I can`t wait to find my forever home with you!

Hey there, I`m Bruin! I`m a young, energetic, wild child with a zest for life. My days are filled with curiosity, exploration, and playfulness.

I never let anything slow me down. I`m the kind of dog who will keep you on your toes, make you laugh, and fill your life with excitement. If you`re looking for a fun-loving, courageous, and hilarious companion, I`m your guy! Adopt me and let`s start our adventure together! I am a special paws adoption, which means I do have medical needs that need tending to. I have impaired vision and an abnormal gait, but because of this, my adoption fee is totally up to you!

Story
Hello there, I`m Sable! As a senior dog, you wouldn`t know it though because I still have puppy energy. I`m a friendly soul, once I get to know you and I love to explore the great outdoors. So much so, that I tend to like to stay out there all of the time. My energy is contagious, and my loyalty is as steadfast as they come. I`m a bit selective about my dog friends and would likely do fine all on my own. I`d need a home with a fenced yard to satisfy my need for the outdoors. Apartments aren`t really my style, I need room to roam. I promise to bring joy, loyalty, and a sense of adventure to your life. Will you be my forever friend?4DX Test – Lyme +An IDEXX 4DX test was performed in shelter using whole blood, and a positive Lyme test result was noted. Rarely, false positive tests can occur. This test was performed as a part of routine wellness care, and this patient is not currently exhibiting any signs related to Lyme disease. This condition was transmitted by a tick bite from an infected tick, and there is no risk of transmission between dogs and other species (including humans). Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi from an infected tick. This patient has been given a prophylactic treatment course of Doxycycline (an antiobiotic). It is recommended that you follow up with your primary care veterinarian to establish a preventive healthcare plan post adoption, including tick prevention.

Story
Hi there. My name is Chinook.I`m a senior guy looking for a new place to crash. You see, my owner got really sick and had to leave me behind and unfortunately no one took care of me for some time. I was living outside with my other dog friend and we got food and water but that`s about it. When I came here I was super matted and had lots of skin issues but the great people here took really good care of me. I`m feeling so much better now and am on the road to recovery. I`m a special paws dog because I have lyme disease and hypothyroidism, which means that I need medication lifelong. But this also means my adoption fee is up to you!I am a husky mix who loves to love. I enjoy cuddling and going for short walkies in my spare time. If I`m not walking or cuddling then I am probably spending the rest of my time napping. I should let you know that i prefer a home without cats, or small animals! I do have a lot of fur normally but I had to be shaved so I might look a bit different than my pictures. I bet my before and after pics will be STELLAR!Anyways, if you are looking for a cuddle buddy who loves affection and doesn`t take much work (with the exception of my meds) then please apply to adopt me today!

Hi, I`m Hunter. I`m a young, fun guy with a heart full of energy and love. It might take me a little while to warm up to you, but once I do, we`ll be the best of friends. I love to play, and my goofy antics will keep you laughing. I`m also a bit sensitive, especially around my neck and paws, so gentle touches are best for me. I`m a sweet, friendly soul who loves nothing more than to make people smile. I promise to be your loyal companion, always ready for an adventure or a cuddle on the couch. If you`re looking for a playful, funny, and loving friend, I`m your guy. Adopt me and let`s start our journey together.
