Story
Minnie is an extremely sweet and playful pup! She does well on a leash and enjoys daily walks with other dogs. She gets along great with dogs, cats, and kids, making her a wonderful family companion. Minnie loves playing tug of war and sometimes thinks she’s a lap dog. She can be vocal when she wants attention and still has plenty of puppy energy, so she’ll need a home that can give her plenty of exercise and playtime. She enjoys being outside, exploring new places, and going on adventures. At the end of the day, she’s always ready to snuggle up for some love. Minnie is crate trained and eager to find her forever family! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
LOCAL TN ADOPTION ONLY. The good.....He is kennel trained. Goes in very easily with treats. Will run right in if a treat is thrown in there. Will bark for a few minutes but settles. If he’s in a crate, in a room alone and he hears a lot of commotion, he will bark. If you’ve left and the house is quiet, he’s quiet. He’s great in the kennel if someone is in the same room with him though. He likes being with his people. He happily snoozes in an open kennel during the day if you’re working from home and the kennel is near your work area.Scooby is a goof! There’s not much he takes too seriously. Besides treats. Treats are serious business! He will do just about anything for a treat. Even stuff he really doesn’t want to do. But treats are life. He’s overall an easy dog that is sweet, happy, cuddly and isn’t overly energetic. He loves playing and is a bulldozer but he relaxes and naps a lot too. He doesn’t require mass amounts of exercise. He is more than happy to lounge around in bed and watch tv with his humans. The bad...He snores. It’s not quiet...He hates small dogs, if your neighbor has one he will make it his life"s mission to eradicate it. He is generally good on a leash until aforementioned small dog walks up, then he will happily chill with you while you recover from your rotator cuff repair.

Maisie Available for Adoption Hi! I'm Maisie, and I have so much love to give. Don't let my 85-pound frame fool you – I'm really just a lap dog at heart! My favorite thing in the whole world is resting my head on your lap and soaking up all the affection I can get. Everyone who meets me falls in love with my gentle nature. Life took an unexpected turn when I found myself at the shelter through no fault of my own. But I'm keeping my tail nub wagging and my spirit bright while I wait for my perfect forever family. At 4 years old, I've got all my puppy energy worked out, but I still have so much life and love ahead of me to share. They call me a gentle giant around here, and it fits me perfectly. I'm a big softie who just wants to cuddle and be close to my people. I may be large in size, but my heart is even bigger! Could your home be the place where I get my second chance at happiness? I promise to fill your life with endless love and snuggles. Want to meet this oversized cuddle bug? Come visit me at the shelter – I'll be the one with the big smile and the wagging tail nub, ready to rest my head in your lap! I will be spayed and microchipped and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-survey   Love and Licks MaisieFebruary 11, 2025, 1:44 pm
