Story
Meet Riggins, a.k.a Riggs! He is a very sweet, smart 2-year-old Smooth Collie mix looking for a forever home. I rescued him last October after his previous owners moved and left him behind. He does great with kids, doesn't mind cats, and he really loves other dogs. He might need some supervision around other dogs, as he tends to get overly excited. He also tends to get territorial around other male dogs and will mark, but is not aggressive. He would do best with a big, fenced-in yard where he can run freely and chase squirrels to his heart's content. He is truly the sweetest boy and it is an absolutely gut-wrenching decision to find him a new home. However, my current work/life situation means that he is left alone for sometimes 10-11 hours a day and he never gets to run and explore off-leash, making his anxiety worse. He would thrive in a house with a family who can give him the love and attention he deserves, with a yard where he is free to roam and explore.

Story
I got Sky from her litter, she will be 4 March 17 next year. She is so sweet with family and very playful, but also very protective once she has built that bond. She does very well on public walks and is potty trained. She has a very intense bark but she isn’t aggressive. I would say she prefers women like most female dogs do.

Story
Laszlo & Cassidy are a bonded pair and are volunteer favorites! Laszlo is a 5-year-old Corgi mix who weighs about 20 lbs. Cassidy is a 3-year-old terrier mix who weighs about 40 lbs. This duo will have your ribs hurting as you laugh at the fun when they are wrestling, playing chase and doing zoomies around the yard. Cassidy is a social butterfly and is always the first one to greet people at Waldo's Dog Dorm. She just thrives on attention and wants tons of loving. She's a very active girl who needs plenty of room to run. Cassidy loves toys and is fabulous with all other dogs and people. She was dumped at a kill shelter which is where we saved her. We have found that she becomes very anxious and fearful around children younger than 10 years of age; this has led us to believe that in her original home there were young children who didn't respect her space and pulled her fur/tail and traumatized her which is likely the reason for her being left at the shelter. Laszlo was a stray who survived at the Morgan County Fairgrounds from the time he was 6 months old until he was finally trapped at 18 months. He was totally feral when we got him and avoided people at all costs. However, this wonderful boy has learned that chest rubs and ear scratches are heavenly; Laszlo won't take treats until he is massaged and scratched; touch is his "love language" ... he craves it more than treats. Laszlo does still need continued rehabilitation after the trauma he experienced during his first year and a half of life. A quiet, loving, patient home with few visitors will be necessary for him. Because of his experience of having long choke tethers on the end of metal poles on him by animal control officers, he is still very fearful of leashes/harnesses. We will provide training techniques to whoever adopts him to help with this, but it's doubtful that her will ever be comfortable taking walks on a leash due to this past trauma. Both of these dogs have so much love to give. What you invest in them in time and love will be returned in spades! Their playfulness along with their love of being massaged & rubbed make them such wonderful family members who will bring smiles and joy to whoever adopts them. Their perfect home will have a VERY SECURE fenced-in yard, no children under 16; as well as a calm, peaceful environment with experienced dog owners who provide positive reinforcement and lots of praise. Whoever adopts Laszlo and Cassidy will be very lucky indeed! The adoption fee for the pair is $325; both are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and kept on year-round heartworm/flea preventative.
