Meet Sprinkles! Sprinkles and her sister Ice Cream (now adopted) were found as strays dumped in front of a vet clinic in Houston, sadly a very common story. Our wonderful foster was able to get the girls in her car by luring them with food. Sprinkles was a scaredy cat but she saw her sister Ice Cream jump right into the car, so she followed. Sprinkles has learned what it means to live in a home - to be loved and cared for. Sprinkles is 100% velcro dog. She absolutely adores her person. Sprinkles is also a fun loving gal who loves to play - with people and other dogs. She is very submissive when meeting new people. Sprinkles is: Approximately 1 year old 45lbs Loves to play Loves to cuddle and seeks out validation from her human Submissive to people Potty trained Good on leash Hesitant in the car but getting braver

Story
Meet Emma, an athletic and playful pooch with a big heart and an even bigger personality! Emma is an affectionate and friendly dog who loves to make her humans laugh. She may not know how to properly introduce herself to other four-legged friends just yet, but with some time and patience, Emma is sure to make new furry friends in no time. This clever girl is always up for a game of catch or an afternoon walk. She will be your very own adventure buddy! As she is still a very young lady she will need lots of direction on how to learn basic good dog skills such as walking on a leash, not jumping etc. Emma is in foster, so if you would like to meet her please call the adoption center to make an appointment.

Pinky

Australian Cattle Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 5 mos
Pittsford, VT
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Pinky! This sweet cattle dog mix is full of life. His little tail stump goes a million miles per hour at the idea of being outside with his favorite people and he will sit nicely for a treat. He is very treat motivated and looks to his people for cues. Pinky is worried around strangers and this can come out as an intimidating bark until you get to know him. He needs someone with cattle dog experience. His breed comes with an increased prey drive which could be difficult for young children to understand his boundaries and other animals that may run. If you think you can be Pinky's safe person to learn that not all people are bad and provide him with structure, come see this sweet and smart boy!

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Jay! This sweet boy has a heart of gold but, he can be a bit shy sometimes! Once he warms up to you, he will be your best friend. He is a handsome boy who has so much love to give (and receive!). He loves hugs and kisses! We do know that Jay does well with kids and he came in with another dog who he adored but, we have no known history on how he will do with cats or other dogs. Therefore, it will be crucial that he meets any potential dog friends. If this bubbly boy sounds like the right fit for you, please stop by and visit with him. The Adoption Center is open Tuesday through Saturday 11am to 4pm.

Story
Meet Izzy Izzy, the pitbull mix, is a joy and is always excited to see people. She was surrendered to us when her owners were no longer able to give her the attention she needed. Izzy previously lived with children and loved them. She also did well with cats. She didn't get along with the other dog in her previous home but may do well with a dog-to-dog interaction at the shelter. Once she is able to burn off all that bubbly energy, she is a cuddler that wants all the pets and kisses. Come down and hang out with her and giggle at her adorable antics!

Story
Meet Maizy! This 3-year-old Great Pyrenees came to us as a stray, dirty and nervous. She has started to warm up to shelter staff, so she is ready to bond with her new family! she will explore and then dash over to her person for a cuddle before her instinct kicks back in and she's ready to keep watch again. Since she is a stray, we do not have much information on how she would do in a home with cats or kids, but she has shown that she is not a fan of other dogs. Maizy is heartworm positive so she will be foster to adopt until she is finished with her treatment. Maizy can't wait to get comfortable in her new home so come see her!
