Story
Toad is a big boy with a big personality. He is looking for an owner who is active, and can give him the energy outlet that he needs. He is working with our staff on using a harness, as he is a big puller.He came to us through an Animal Control Officer, so we do not know a lot about his background. We have found that most dogs do not like Toad, and the couple that do, either don`t know how to handle him, or he doesn`t like them. He needs to be an only dog, with no expectation to meet other dogs. His body language when he has seen a cat through a window tells us he would not be the kind of friend cats hope for in a dog, so he needs to be the only pet in the home. Due to Toad being a bull in a china shop, he`s not recommended to go home with young children, unless they are very sturdy, and don`t mind being knocked down.Toad has a slightly elongated soft palate, which means he may sound wheezy when getting exercise, but our veterinarian feels corrective surgery is not necessary. He may need a little guidance from his human friends to slow down when he`s having fun and is go-go-go.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Toad`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Toad.

Story
Holly came to us through an Animal Control Officer who had picked her up as a stray, so we don`t know anything about her prior life, but we`ve learned a whole bunch about this sweet girl while she`s been with us!This chonky little short-stack is a strong puller, so she`s learned how to walk nicely on a front-clip harness. She is food motivated, and though she has a short attention span to match her short legs, she`s still making great progress in her training, and is always eager to please. She spent a weekend with a foster, and did REALLY well enjoying life in a home. She loved their 2-yr-old, and did well moving around him, but is probably better suited to age 4 and up, mostly because she sometimes moves fast and wiggly, and comes in quickly for licks and kisses. She did well on neighborhood walks, and when she heard dogs barking from inside their homes, she alerted to it, but was easily redirected to continue on her walk. She has been reactive toward the other dogs here at CVHS, so she will probably do best as the only pet in the home. We do not know how she feels about cats, but on a recent walk, she was VERY interested in a spot where a neighborhood cat hangs out, so it could be an issue for her. She loved playing in the foster`s fenced-in yard, and she does the same with us, so that would be a huge bonus for her new home. Holly LOVES a good snuggle session, and would be happy to join you on your couch for a good book or some binge tv.A consultation with our Behavior Specialist is included in Holly`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about her, and to determine if you should meet Holly.

Story
Jett came to CVHS as a `stray`, but it`s most likely that he is an abandoned dog, and we are here to help him find a better life!Jett is a young, active, and friendly older puppy, who has clearly not had any training or guidance for managing his youthful excitement. This handsome boy is very people-focused, and LOVES attention from staff and volunteers. He`s improving with learning to walk nicely on leash and harness, and sometimes his joyful exuberance gets directed into mouthiness on staff`s feet, but he`s easily redirected with a toy. Much of his behavior is typical for a puppy, and he`s quickly learning better alternatives. We are working with him daily to keep his feet on the floor, and his mouth off everyone and everything.He has met a few of our dogs, and he LOVES to play. His playstyle is more wrestling than chase, and he`s still learning to understand when the other dog has had enough. We do not think he`d be a good fit with cats, and his lack of body awareness, along with his mouthy grabbing, means we are looking for a home without children.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Jett`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Jett.

Story
Garland came to us through an Animal Control Officer who had picked her up as a stray, so we don`t know anything about her prior life.She`s had a lot of changes in the past month, and is settling in here, getting lots of attention and exercise. She can be a strong puller, but is learning to walk well on leash with a front-clip harness. Garland is food motivated, and eager to please, so she`s doing well with her basic training. Garland has shown signs of not wanting other dogs in her life, so she is looking to be the only dog in her new home. We do not know how she feels about cats. She is doing much better about not jumping to greet, and we feel she will do well with children.She would like an active lifestyle, with some fun adventures and exercise, and stimulating brain games, so then she can snuggle on the couch for a good nap. A consultation with our Behavior Specialist is included in Garland`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about her, and to determine if you should meet Garland.

Story
Adonis came to CVHS when he was not a good match for his home. This happy boy is a puppy in a big dog`s body, so seeks an adopter who can continue training him to have more manners. He is jumpy and uses his paws for hugs, which can be overwhelming, so he seeks a home with no small children. While his prior owner loved him, he was not a match for the home due to his high prey drive with cats, farm animals, and small animals. So he cannot go to a home with any of those animals. He is familiar with having a canine companion in his prior home, but didn`t want to share certain items. He is reported to be housetrained and crate trained. He is not thrilled about when he has to take car rides, being a little nervous, and needs to be touching you.Adonis has found that he does well carrying one of his toys in his mouth whenever he leaves his kennel, and it seems to give him confidence, while also keeping him from grabbing at the leash -- Win, Win! Once he`s in our fenced-in yards, he loves to play a good sniffy game of `find it`, with pieces of his food tossed into the snow. A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Adonis`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Adonis.

Story
Norman came to CVHS when his owner`s living situation changed, and housing would not allow any pets. Norman can be a little hesitant with new people, which we don`t blame him as he`s had a lot of recent changes, and he’s an older boy who needs a dependable household to call his own for his golden years. In his prior home he lived with 3 canine-savvy cats who did fine with him. Here at CVHS we have not had a dog candidate to introduce him to yet, but he does not seem fazed by ones he has seen. Due to his age, he did just have senior bloodwork done (looked fantastic) and a dental to get him healthy and ready for his new adventure.
