Story
Rosa is a sweet and loving dog who I think prefers the quiet but can also handle the chaos of children and other animals. I got her from a shelter in AZ when she was about 6 months old and she is now 8. Rosa likes walks in nature rather than neighborhoods as she can be overstimulated easily but she'll enjoy it nevertheless. She gets along with cats, children, and small dogs. I think because of her anxiety she becomes overstimulated fast and her excitement to play with other medium/ big dogs may turn into aggression once contact is made. I think with proper training or behavioral help she can overcome that. She just recently developed a little arthritis in her back hips but her vet said with exercise and maybe a little pain meds to help it along she can recover very well. She can sometimes bark a big game to throw you off but she would honestly not hurt a fly. Overall Rosa is a pretty laidback and loving dog that just enjoys being around her human all the time.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Abel. He is a wonderful dog who is completely house trained, knows many commands (including play dead!), and has great recall. He loves having a job, especially chasing geese off our grass area and sending them into our pond, then returning to us with a sense of accomplishment. Abel is a protector during deliveries and is sweet with his foster parents. He loves cuddling and is generous with his hugs, burying his head in our laps. He loves to please his humans. Abel plays with his rope like a fiend and loves chasing balls, frisbee, sticks, and toys. Abel does best with proper and slow introductions and people who are secure around dogs. He enjoys playing fetch with a small female lab and gets along well with smaller female dogs, given proper introductions. We are also working on his leash reactivity during walks. While Abel is generally friendly, he has shown some discomfort around children and in certain situations. He is not fond of being poked or picked at so would suggest kids be a no for Abel. With that being said, visits to the vet might be a challenge so patience, kindness and time will be needed to make Abel comfortable. Abel loves being petted, receiving belly rubs, and is fine with baths and brushing. His previous owner mentioned he is okay with having his nails clipped, although I haven't tried that myself. Abel is a great dog who thrives with understanding and patient care.   Abel does take an oral medication twice a day to help prevent seizures.    Abel is from an owner surrender.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi!  My name is Peach and I am settling in nicely after being with my foster family for a few weeks.  I was scared of everyone to begin with, but have realized these people are going to be nice to me so now I have started to really come out of my shell and let my personality shine!  I am still very scared when I meet new people, especially men, so I need time to feel comfortable and safe with new faces. I will bark and growl at first but this is because I'm so scared and I want to make sure new people understand I need my space.   I don't like being left alone, so a house with someone home most of the time would be best for me. My nose was a bit raw from rubbing it on the door of my kennel but it is nearly healed since I don't go in a crate much any more. I have been known to find things on the counter and believe that finders are keepers so I would suggest for everyone's sake that temptation is kept to a minimum.    I also REALLY like playing with the dog that lives here - he is showing me how to trust people, to sit for treats, to walk nicely on a leash and be part of a family.  A house with a dog would help to keep me busy and tire me out as I still have some puppy energy even though I am 1.5 years old.  When he is not willing to play, I can amuse myself with a toy - tennis balls are the BEST!   And the best place to sleep is close to the humans - in the same room for sure but next to you in bed is really where I want to be.  I will snuggle up and snore quietly once I trust you.     I haven't had any accidents in the house since I got here. I like to spend some time outside in the yard with my family and get to go for 3-4 walks every day to practice my leash manners, and build up my confidence when I see new people.   Peach was found as a stray.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi! My name is Jason, but my family mostly calls me JJ.  I’m a fun loving, playful, snuggly puppy who is looking for a family!  I am a playful puppy who is loving life.  I LOVE all people, of all ages – I can’t get enough snuggles, pets, and attention.  I enjoy playing with and running around with my foster sister as well, who is an 80lb German Shepard mix.  I enjoy going for walks and runs, as well as playing fetch, tug-of-war, and chewing on my kong.  One of my favorite things to do is snuggle with my family – I love laying with them at night when they watch TV, or even just sit on their lap or by them so I can be close (and love getting pet too).  I am a social dog; I went to Sever’s recently for a dog-friendly-day and loved meeting all the friendly people and other dogs there!  I also had the opportunity to stay with another family for a night while my foster family was out of town, and I loved it! It was so fun to meet another dog, we played all night!  There was a cat there, but I wasn’t interested in her so much – I ignored her the whole time, even when the other dog was chasing the cat around.  I am potty trained and kennel trained; I sleep through the night in my kennel and also go in there during the day when my foster family needs to leave the house.  I can’t wait to meet my forever family and start playing and snuggling! Jason is from Texas.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hello, I'm Jackie but my previous adopters called me Junie! I'm a sweet, potty-trained pup who's still learning to trust the world around me. I can be pretty shy, especially around men, but with a little patience and kindness, I’ll start to come out of my shell. I get along great with other dogs, and I'd really love to have an older pup sibling to help me feel more confident. I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d do with them. I'm also kennel-trained and can sleep peacefully through the night. I know some basic cues like "sit" and "stay," and I really enjoy going on walks—especially when I have a routine to follow. Because I'm still working on my confidence, I’d do best in a home with older kids who understand my need for a little extra time and space. If you have a quiet, loving home and another dog to show me the ropes, I think we could be the perfect match! Jackie was adopted as a puppy but was recently returned through no fault of her own. Her previous adopters took good care of her but she does require a little more patience than they were able to give.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. “Leonard is a really good dog”, are the words uttered by everyone who has spent time with Lenny.  He’s a friendly and happy boy who enjoys meeting people and other dogs. He’s also a gentle boy who knows not to jump up on people (although he sometimes can’t help himself if he gets super excited), so I think he’d also do fine around young children. While Leonard does pretty good on walks with no reactivity issues, he can pull a bit at the start due to excitement. His prey drive seems to be limited to things he can chase. He ignores turkeys, but, boy, does he think that rabbits look fun to chase. Based on his desire to chase, I’d say cats are a big NO for this guy. Leonard is a good-natured boy who loves to run and play and have fun. I think he would love another dog buddy. He gets along well with all my dogs as well as every foster or guest doggo that has come to stay with us. One of the reasons Lenny gets along so well with other dogs is that he will mirror their playstyle. He even accommodates my older dogs by adopting a very gentle playstyle when interacting with them.  He’s a young and smart dog who does best when his physical and mental needs are met. He enjoys going on walks and exploring the outdoors. He also LOVES to run, whether it’s playing chase with other dogs around the park or jogging with you around a lake. If he’s running, he’s happy. Oh, and he loves water! He thinks splashing in the kiddie pool is a blast. He doesn’t seem to know how to swim yet but we’re working on it!  Leonard does best in a kennel when he is home alone, otherwise he’ll likely get into things. He will sometimes bark in protest when I leave the house so a home with shared walls would probably not be a good fit.   If you’re active and looking for an adventure buddy, then Lenny might be your boy! Leonard was an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
