Story

Hello, my name is Valentina!I`ve been waiting for a new home since February! I am a playful, silly girl whose idea of a good time is tossing around a good stuffy toy or going for a long walking adventure. I am affectionate and snuggly with my humans once I warm up, which can take a couple visits. I am nervous of new people but warm up nicely with treats and toys. I sometimes like to express my feelings, with barking, when I see dogs on walks, particularly when they enter my personal bubble because how dare they? I`m doing well with training and am excited to join a family that has the time and interest in training to help me continue my progress!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: No young children. Teenagers should be ok.OTHER DOGS: No, I don`t seem to enjoy the company of other dogs.CATS: Yes, I did well with the cats in my foster home.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Highly recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings or homes where I will be in tight spaces with strangers.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the `adopt me` button to apply!

Story

Hello! My name is Asher!I`ve been waiting patiently for a new home since March! I`m an easy-going guy. I enjoy lounging around the house or yard after a nice walk. I am very treat-motivated and love to learn. I am a sensitive soul and require a gentle approach to training and handling to feel safe and comfortable. I have shown some resource guarding around my food - but nobody likes their things being taken, right? And I can be uncomfortable with handling my ears when they are sore. I have been doing well with training and am eager to join a home that will use positive training methods to help me improve in these areas. I`ve had a rough start to life and can`t wait to join a kind family that will give me lots of love and good care.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: No, I’m looking for an adult-only home.OTHER DOGS: No, I have guarded my resources from dogs in the past and would do best as the only pet in the home.CATS: No, I’m looking to be the only pet.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Highly recommended, unless it’s a rural property.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with a yard.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the `adopt me` button to apply!FOSTER ME!
