Story
Dexter is a snuggly goofball. He's happiest with his pack, basking in the sun or lounging in my lap. He loves to explore and takes his time to sniff every plant when on walks. He likes to play tug-o-war, give kisses, & LOVES treats. He hates the rain. He's good with other dogs, especially loves little pups, & to play chase. His besties are a large Burmese doodle & a tiny French bulldog. This said, he will not back down from an aggressive dog. An experienced owner is better. Dex is great with kids, as long as they are dog folks; his zest has knocked one or two over. He loves to give kisses and is very curious. He's scared of balloons and holiday decor. Dex sleeps most of the day. He gets a 45-60 minute walk daily, with 2 or 3 other 20 min potty walks (I don't have a yard). A few times a week we do a longer hike. I got him at 4 mos as a family pup, but after a divorce, stepkids moving out, & a new job, I don't have the time to give him the attention he deserves. He's a sweetie.

Story
HI - I'M DREAM! I'm a 4-year-old blue-and-white Pit Bull Terrier, in need of a foster or forever home. I have been waiting for a couple of years for a home - and keep getting overlooked since I suppose, I'm one of many who need homes right now. I am an easygoing boy - I love people and have done well with other dogs. I was surrendered at the shelter because my previous owners said they could not handle a puppy. Like most pitties, I'm a strong boy and will do well with an experienced owner who wants a loving companion. I love to chase the hose and will bark whenever I see it because I get so excited! I'm definitely a water dog. I'm also very food motivated and I love treats. I weigh about 50 pounds. Can you foster or adopt me? Please email for an application.

Story
MEET MIKO, a handsome black-and-white German Shepherd mix who has waited too long for a home. Miko is a 9-year-old boy who was surrendered a few years ago to a high-kill shelter, because his owner did not want to pay for a dog license. He is great with people but a bit timid with other dogs, perhaps due to his sad history. Miko would thrive with a person or people in a quiet home, where he can be doted on in his senior years. He needs either a foster or forever home. Miko weighs about 65 lbs. Can you open your home to this sweet dog? Please email for an application.
