Story

Female - 3 years - 50 lbs - Microchipped - Spayed - DEHi! My name is Vaquita and I am a 3-year-old, 50 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I no longer need to be crated when left home alone, though I need to have a crate available to me as a safe space when I get anxious. I have done well meeting men, women, and older children. I love being pet and snuggling up with my family—often involving me laying upside down on the couch! I will immediately seek affection from anyone I meet when we are at home; if I am on a leash away from home I need more proper introductions. I am reactive towards other animals and have shown aggression in interactions. I am currently working with a trainer to improve my coping skills around other animals, but I will need to be the only animal in my home. I absolutely adore toys and can often be found holding a stuffy! Ropes for tug or a ball are my favorite! I ride well in the car. My leash skills are a work in progress as I learn not to pull and how to engage with my handler even when there are distractions. I have already learned sit, come, and roll over. I will need a handler committed to continuing my training and providing adequate physical exercise. Could you be my family?

Female - 7 years - 78 lbs - Microchipped - Spayed - KYHello! My name is Saige and I am a 7-year-old, 78 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and crate-trained, though I am a lady who does not need to be crated when I am home alone. I am cautious meeting new people though I will warm up quickly. I have done well with men, women, and older children. I love receiving affection and will seek out snuggles! I am curious about visitors to our home and will introduce myself in a friendly manner. I do well with other dogs and wouldn’t mind having a playful canine companion! I love to wrestle with my foster sister. I like to squeak soft plush toys or to wind down to chew a Benebone when we are settling in the house. I have met some cats and done well, so I could live with a feline sibling or two. I like to tag along for car rides and walk fairly well on leash; occasionally I’ll see something I really want to sniff and tug towards it. I know sit, come, leave it, and drop it. I would love to find a family who will continue my training! I am a happy, well-adjusted girl who is ready to move in with an adoptive family. Are you searching for a new family member?

Story

Gypsie is 3 years old, she's sweet and affectionate I would love for her to be adopted by a lovely person that is patient with her because she sometimes jumps when excited when you walk in the door, that is the only thing that she might need training with. She's potty trained and house trained, I can't keep her anymore because I'll be moving soon. Gypsie is very intelligent, a great friend and active as well so she'll need to be taken on walks. Thank you for considering.

Story

Female - 8 months - 40 lbs - Microchipped - Spayed - TXHey! My name is Natasha and I am an 8-month-old, 40 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I am still a puppy so I should be crated when left unsupervised. I have done well with both men and women. I am working on my greeting skills to involve less excited mouthing as I can be all over the place when meeting people. I am affectionate with my family and will gently paw at my foster dad to keep petting me if he stops before I’m ready. I am fostering with several other dogs and do well with all of them, including the small Pomeranian. I would love to have a playful canine sibling in my home who enjoys running around. I like toys, especially squeaky toys, and will happily play with them! I’ve met cats and done well, so I could have feline siblings in my home too. I am doing well with my training and am figuring out loose leash walking quickly! I may need guidance passing other dogs or people, my foster dad has shown me that passing calmly gets me a reward. I have been working on sit and stay at home. I am an intelligent girl who would excel with a family committed to providing continued training and exercise. I am working on building tolerance for car rides—right now they make me sick. I would love to find an active family to continue learning how to be the best girl I can be. Could you be my family?

Story

Male - 8 months - 45 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - TXHi there! My name is Boris and I am an 8-month-old, 45 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained and am doing well with my crate training. I am still a puppy so I will need to be crated when left home alone. I do best if I am given a stuffed Kong toy before you leave. I love people including men, women, and older children. I am learning how to greet people appropriately as I currently struggle with overarousal when greeting—displayed mostly through barking and jumping. My foster family is working to teach me that I only get attention when I am calm and I am making progress! I love receiving attention and spending time with people. I am great with other dogs and respect their social cues. I am currently around other dogs of all sizes and ages without issue. I would love to have a playful canine companion in my home! I like to play with toys, if they squeak then even better! I have been around cats and did well, so kitties are okay with me! I am an exuberant boy who will need continued training to help me understand what’s expected of me. I am working on going for car rides though I currently get sick. My leash skills are a work in progress. When I came to my foster home, I had no idea what a leash was and find the restriction quite frustrating because I want to approach all the people and dogs I see to make friends. I am getting there, but will need someone willing to continue my leash training. I have already learned sit and am currently working on stay and come! I am a happy boy who would thrive with a committed family of my own—are you my family? Follow me on Facebook: #EchoDogBoris For more information, please contact adoptions@echodogs.org.
