Story
Gundren is a 3 year old neutered pit / lab mix. He’s a very sweet, laidback boy. He loves just lounging on the couch with you, with occasional zoomies. He can be pretty high energy when he’s in a playful mood but it goes pretty quickly as he’s just a big snuggle bug. He loves to be involved in whatever you’re doing, and has slight separation anxiety but that’s being worked on. He gets along with everyone he meets, people, cats, and dogs. Knows basic commands, in the process of crate training, no resource guarding. Is an overall good boy who just needs a loving home!

Story
Gamora is a female Saint Bernard/Great Pyrenees mix, born 11/13/2024 who came to us as part of an accidental litter. In her foster home, she is working on house training and crate training, but that will need to continue with her new, forever home as she is still very young. It is expected that Gamora will be large/extra large size when fully grown, that is only an estimate as she is already over 30lbs now. Gamora seems to love to her foster siblings (canine and human alike). Gamora is a great pup who is deserving of her forever family! Gamora is certainly a very young puppy who is not yet housebroken, crate trained or trained at all in general at this time. New adopters need to be aware that they will need to work with her for future success - we will be available to help give guidance and answer any questions or concerns as needed. To meet Gamora, please FIRST apply on our website for approval: https://www.theroadhomeanimalproject.org/companion-adoption-form-pdf.htmlGamora's adoption fee is $550, which includes his deworming, spay at our vet (when of age), vaccines (which include DHLPPC, Lyme, Bordetella & Rabies) and microchip.If you are out of area and the pup is too young to be spayed at time of adoption, adoption fee will be less and you will be contracted to complete vetting with proof being provided to the rescue.*Note: please DO NOT apply if you are unsure about adopting a puppy. Yes, they are adorable and fun, but they also require a lot of work and full commitment by all family members. Thank you!***100% of adoption fees go back to the animals and help provide for medical care for our rescues that need specialized medical care and surgeries.Please remember that we are a board of entirely volunteers that have full time jobs as well as our rescue passion.

Story
Joy is a 4 year old German Short Haired Pointer, who is current on all of her shots, and very lovable. She is house & crate trained. She’s very active and loves to play! Fetch usually turns into a game of “chase me”. She knows a few commands and is very motivated by food (super easy to train). She has to be the smartest dog I’ve ever worked with. In the evening hours she loves to snuggle with people. She usually sits next to me on the couch. At night she sleeps in her crate, although we have forgotten to latch it once or twice and she ended up sleeping on the couch without any issues. She loves people, but does not get along with other dogs.

Story
Meet Boston, a lively 1-year-old terrier mix who's eager to make your acquaintance. His personality is as big as his heart; he's friendly, sweet, and oh-so-playful. Boston's energy is infectious, and he's always ready for a game of fetch or a fun-filled romp in the park. He's got a goofy side that's sure to make you laugh and a smart side that's quick to learn new tricks. Boston gets along well with other dogs, but he's not the best match for a home with cats. Despite his youthful energy, he also knows when it's time to settle down for a good cuddle. His love and loyalty know no bounds, and he's just waiting for the right person to share it with. Adopting Boston means gaining a loyal friend, a playful companion, and a loving family member. He's ready to start his new life journey, are you ready to start it with him?Boston is neutered and up to date on all of his core vaccinations and monthly preventatives. He is also microchipped!
