Story
Dahlia is a total love-bug who thrives on affection and attention. A true Velcro dog, she loves to be close to her humans and will often stay in the same room as you, especially if you're relaxing on the couch. She has a playful, curious, and active side, enjoying walks and outdoor adventures, though her strong instinct to sniff means we're still working on loose-leash walking. Dahlia is affectionate and loves cuddling, often snuggling closely until she's relaxed enough to settle down. She gets along with people quickly, especially if they offer her love and attention, and she's already learned several tricks, with more in progress. Dahlia has a strong food drive, and she's especially fond of treats and human food (like veggies!). Car rides are a breeze for her, and she handles being left alone for a reasonable amount of time. While she's generally good-natured, she can be a bit protective when encountering other dogs up close but is curious about them from a distance. Dahlia would make a wonderful companion in a home where she can be doted on, enjoy plenty of playtime, and relax in comfort. Her loving nature and sweet personality will make her an incredible addition to a patient, caring family. If you would like to meet her, make sure to fill out an application on our website at animalcareleague.org!

Unfortunately I have 2 other dogs whom he loves to play with but unfortunately he started having minor behavioral issues. He wants a and needs a lot of attention I have small baby of 8 months and can't have him around her because he does not acknowledge and knows when he needs to control his hyper activeness. He has never bit anyone but he continues to jump my neighbors 4ft fence. I just need someone to give him the attention he needs. I don't want to take him to shelter he still has no much life in him and looking for someone to give him his forever home

Look up "good boy" in the dictionary, and you're sure to find a picture of Randy! He is smart, playful, and eager-to-please. His fosters report he is the easiest pup they’ve ever had, just give this sweet guy some stuffies, bones, chew toys, and a sunny spot to nap in, and he is set. This playful pup has medium energy and is a trusty companion while you're working from home. He'll curl up and nap when you're busy, then he'll gladly play a game of tug-o-war with you during your 10-15 minute breaks. He's completely house trained (yes, that means potty-trained, crate-trained, all-the-things trained!) and is great at knowing which toys he can chew and which he can't - this means he won't leave any surprises during any conference calls. Even better, Randy is content to entertain himself when his pawrents are busy, and you won’t see any separation anxiety out of this guy. He is a champ at being left alone and loves following the sunny spots throughout the day. During the weekends, Randy loves to chase tennis balls, go on walks, and chew on his plush toys. But don't worry - if you need a calm night in, he'll happily curl up with you on the couch while watching TV. This mush adores belly rubs, cuddles, and sleeping in. His foster jokes he’s like a teenage boy: they have to wake him up for his morning walks no matter how late they sleep in. No 6am potty breaks for this guy! When meeting new people, Randy is shy at first, but he warms up after a few minutes and is very gentle and friendly. He'll be great in any home that will give him the love he deserves. He thrives on routine and is food motivated, making training a breeze. This smarty pants knows sit, stay, paw, down, and leave it. Did you think we were done? Oh no! Randy also is wonderful during bath time, can sleep either with his people or on his own bed if preferred, is great on car rides – including long trips – and even rides elevators like a pro. He isn’t fazed by loud noises, so bring on the city-living and fireworks! There isn’t much this sweet guy dislikes, making him a perfect fit for so many homes. Randy prefers to be the only dog in his castle. Are you ready to help Randy find his furever? Apply to adopt today!

Story
Sally (FKA Pippen) is a dog with a personality as big as her jowls! Everyone who meets Sally is instantly drawn to her, and she is quite the celebrity at the vet and amongst dog sitters who all rave that she is their favorite dog to watch. At first glance, Sally may seem a bit serious, but she is a bit of a goofball behind all those wrinkles. Sally has numerous upside-down sleeping positions, which, to the delight of humans, results in her giant jowls sagging. She will also greet you when you enter the room with a sneeze of excitement. Sally is typically low-energy but occasionally surprises you with zoomies! Just like people, dogs have complex and multifaceted personalities. Sally loves people but has some requirements about how she engages with them. Sally prefers women over men, and needs an adult-only home. She has some fear-based anxiety (I mean, same) which results in reactivity around dogs and small children. Sally also doesn't enjoy people getting in her face or holding eye contact for long periods (again, not sure I'm writing this bio about Sally or myself). Sally was adopted from ALIVE Rescue about 4.5 years ago as a puppy and has since been in a loving and doting home. Her family's home situation has changed as they've started a family, and unfortunately, Sally needs a new home that she can thrive in. Sally's ideal home is an adult-only, single-dog home with dog-savvy owners. Sally is looking for humans who are calm, patient, and understanding. While Sally has some complexities, she has a lot of love to give. We know the right home is out there for the next chapter of Sally's story.

Story
Hi! My name is Philly. I've been told I am sassy, energetic, playful, goofy, and rambunctious. I don't know what that last one means, but I guess that's all true! My favorite things are indestructible toys (especially giant, durable balls), snacking on filled and frozen bell peppers, and stealing the slip leads from silly unsuspecting humans. I am currently living at Big Barn where there are lots of butterflies to chase, and I love to get the zoomies around the pool house yard. We go for long walks and I like to pick up sticks as I go and make my handlers laugh. Exploring Big Barn on long trail walks is really fun, and I'd do well in a home with an active family and a big yard where I can run around and play fetch with you. I'm told I am a pretty high energy girl, so it's best I am not around young children. As long as there are treats involved, then I am excited to learn! I've heard about this cool training called nosework and agility - I think learning that stuff would be pretty awesome, as sometimes I can get a little bored and I have a lot of energy to burn. I don't like sitting still, being alone, or playing with other dogs (sometimes they just can't keep up!). Get me in the right mood though, and I've been known to roll over for belly rubs and cuddle time. Even though I love the trail walks at Big Barn and I am bonding with the incredible staff, I get a little stressed with shelter life. I need a patient owner who will give me the time, care, and attention to train me-I promise to always try my best and reward my future bestie with plenty of snuggles and playtime. I am sure I'll be adopted soon, after all, who can resist a cute bottom pouty lip? Come meet me at Big Barn today!
