Story
Meet Fred, a sweet 1.5-year-old Golden Retriever mix with a sleek black coat, a small white patch on his chest, and a hint of blue in his left eye. Fred is a playful and affectionate pup who loves to run around, snuggle in laps, and have fun with his sister (see the second picture). Fred is not much of a barker, but he will let out a cheeky "awoo" if you're late with dinner. He has grown up alongside other dogs, and while he would certainly enjoy the attention of being an only dog, he would also thrive in a home with other dogs. Having grown up as an outside dog, Fred is also house-trained and well-behaved indoors. He knows commands like "sit," "down," and "wait," although his "stay" could use a bit more practice. Fred is eager to please and quick to learn, making him a joy to train. Fred loves going for walks and is accustomed to being on a leash and harness. If you're looking for an energetic and loving friend, Fred is the perfect choice.

Story
Meet Magenta, an adorable 1.5-year-old Golden Retriever mix with a sable coat and warm brown eyes. Magenta is a sweet and independent pup who doesn't always need company, but she's also good with more dogs around. Magenta loves getting scratches on the back of her neck and under her ears, and every now and then, she'll roll over for a good belly rub. While she's not always the most generous with kisses, when she does decide to give them, it's with enthusiasm.She also enjoys going for walks and is well-behaved on a leash and harness. She loves to chew on shoes or rope toys, so investing in durable chew toys is a great idea! She knows commands like "sit" and "wait," and she finds treats to be a great motivator. As a loyal guardian, Magenta is vigilant when outside and always ready to protect her home and family. She’s also house-trained and loves to nap indoors or follow you around for cuddles. With her gentle spirit and loving nature, she'll make a great addition to any family.

Story
Angel is our longest-term resident and is seeking a hospice foster home vs. being adopted. He has cancer, Valley Fever, allergies, etc. APA will cover all hid medical bills for the family who will take him home so he can live out the rest of his life in a home vs. a kennel. Angel is still very high energy and likes to play. He's great with people and kids but not other animals, so he needs to be the only pet in the home. Angel was also trained at our PAWS prison program!

Story
Paisley is a sweet, loveable girl once she gets to know you. She is timid at first. She would like a home where she could just enjoy being pampered and can also do a great job being your confidant and protector. She can be picky about other dogs, so a meet and greet with any resident dogs is necessary. She would probably be happiest as an only dog. She is a PAWS prison training program graduate so is obedience trained and has some basic housetraining skills, too.
