Story
I`m 50 Scent, and I`ve been waiting for you in da club....da friendship club! I`m VERY attentive to my person and would be your very best friend. I`ve spent time in a foster home, and my foster family reports I`m housebroken, crate trained, and know sit and paw, and I`ll always whip out the tricks when you offer me a little snack (perhaps from the candy shop) or a squeaky toy! After we spend some time together outside in the sunshine, I`m totally content to sploot on the floor next to you while you get work done, and I`ll be ready for cuddles whenever you are. Da friendship club is VERY tight-knit, and I much prefer people to everything else. I would prefer to be the only pet in the home, pretty please. The only other thing you should know about me is that I CAN climb fences, but I really have no desire to as long as you’re with me, so supervised time outside or leashed walks is perfect for me. Adopting me would be like partying like it`s your birthday EVERY DAY! Mic drop. Let`s meet!

Story
CA-CHOW! I’m Lightning McQueen, and I’m hoping you’ll be my Mater (that’s like Ta-mater, without the ta). It took me a little bit to get cozy here, but now that my hair is growing back and I’ve made lots of friends, I’m busting out of my shell. I’m positive I could win every Piston Cup with my epic zoomies, and I’ll race directly into your lap and give you my award-winning kisses. I have been learning to take the paw off the gas and settle down, and I’m learning lots of neat tricks like sit and paw. I’ve also really enjoyed my time with other dogs, and my pup pals taught me that kiddie pools are fun to splash in. I would make every day a party, and I can’t wait to party with you! Ask to meet me!

Story
I am Daisy Mae, and may I just say.....LET`S PLAY! RIGHT NOW! OKAY? OKAY! Before we do that, let me tell ya a little about myself. My heart is bigger than my ears, and as you can see, my ears are quite large. I love humans of all ages, especially the tiny ones who will play with me. My excitement can be hard to contain, though, and my teefies sometimes get the best of me. I can be redirected to my stuffies if I start play nibbling too much. I`ve been perfecting my potty training, and my fosters have reported I was doing very well with crate training. I`ve been very friendly to other dogs, but I`ll admit....they say I can be a lot, haha. I do great with other dogs that don`t mind my zoomies, though! I would thrive in a home with adopters with a great sense of humor and a spirit for adventure. Sooooo, let`s play!

Story
The name is Acorn, and I guess you can say...I`m nuts about you. While my delicious chocolate coat may be the first thing you notice about me, the thing that`s most compelling about me is my super duper, extra large, gigantic BRAIN! I pick up on new things at the speed of light, especially since I love toys and snacks so much. I`ve already learned sit, come, and I`m working on paw and down. I`ve spent time in a foster home, and my foster mom said I`m perfectly housebroken, too! When we`re out in nature together, I`m a `no nonsense` walker and will take a brisk hike with you whenever you`d like. Once we`re back inside, I`ll curl up at your feet and snooze while you get work done. I`m extremely in tune with my person and will always be waiting for you to tell me what`s next. I`m still getting to know other pups, but so far, so good! If you are looking for a loyal adventure partner, I`m your guy. Let`s meet!

Story
*By appointment only Hello, I'm Captain! I might be a bit shy when we first meet, but give me some time and I'll be your best friend. I love to play, and I have lots of energy to keep up with you! Being a Boxer, I'm full of zest and enthusiasm. I might take a little while to warm up, but once I do, you'll see how much fun I can be. I'm young and have a lot to learn, but I'm eager to learn with you. I promise, if you give me a chance, I'll be the most loyal companion you could ask for. Why should you adopt me? Because everyone needs a playful, energetic friend who will always be there for them, and that's me, Captain!
