Story
Hi, this is Canela. She is an amazing 6-month-old female with a great personality and wonderful temperament. She was given to us by a friend, and we thought she would be a great addition to the family. Unfortunately, we lost our home due to unforeseen circumstances and are currently in a smaller place that does not allow her to breed. We cannot afford to move again, so we are looking for a good loving home for her because she truly deserves it. She would do great with just about anybody. She is very sweet and energetic. She will not get much bigger than what she is now(she was the runt of the litter). She is astute and willing to please. Please make sure you can commit to her before responding. She will already have to go through change, so I wouldn't want to put her through that again. There is no rehoming fee for her. I just want to find her a good home. Thank you.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Mel is looking for her perfect match: a loving home where she can be the only pet and truly shine. Though she's currently timid of other animals, including cats, any reactions she has are driven purely by fear rather than aggression. Mel is making strides toward overcoming her fears, and she's even had multiple playful interactions with another dog after some careful introductions, showing that deep down, she wants to connect. Her journey to feel comfortable around other pets will need continued patience, with a dedicated handler who can guide her through her fears alongside a professional trainer. A younger adopter with a gentle approach could be ideal to help her blossom. Mel is a huge cuddle bug and likes to stick near her person. Couch time is a fan favorite in her foster home, and she is always making her foster laugh with her silly antics (like sitting like a human or rolling up as tight as a cinnamon roll). Mel would excel in dog sports-she's got the athleticism and drive to dominate any field! If sports aren't your thing, she'd also thrive in a semi-active home. While she's content to lounge on the couch all day, she needs regular exercise like any other dog, such as a 1-2 mile walk or a vigorous play session. Her favorite activity? The flirt pole-it's the highlight of her day, and she can't get enough! Are you ready to help Mel unlock her full potential?

Story
I've had the pleasure of fostering Jackie for about a month now. She is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. I had originally met her a few weeks earlier when I was fostering another dog and brought them in to meet a potential adopter. She had just come back from a dog day out and was super shy but I got her to come up to me and say hi and she gave me a hug and I said I would be fostering her next if she was still available. It took her a few days to start warming up to me and to take in her new environment but over time she's gotten more comfortable going outside and walking around in the yard. She has heartworm so I haven't really taken her on long walks or played with her much but you can tell once she's feeling better she's going to be a lot of fun. For now she gets lots of rest on the couch or in bed. She has no problem making herself at home once she's comfortable with you and her environment. She's full of love and will cuddle with you all day. She loves belly rubs. She knows her name and is very treat motivated. We taught her how to walk up and down stairs because that was new for her and she will go to the door when she needs to go potty. She gets lots of compliments on how cute she is and does well around strangers and other dogs even if they are barking at her. I can't wait for her to find her forever home and I know whoever that ends up being is going to love her as much as I do."

Story
A note from Fruit Loops foster mom: "This little girl is the happiest dog I’ve ever seen. She wakes up every day thrilled to see what the day will bring. She loves being outside and playing with other dogs. She spent a good part of her young life in crate due to a leg injury, so she seems to making up for lost time. She is super smart as well. It only took me about 10 minutes to teach her ‘sit’ before a treat or a meal. She does not like walks in my neighborhood yet - the cars scare her, so that needs a little work. She is very good in the house. She will whine to let you know she has to go out and she only chews on her bones or toys. She gives lots of kisses and likes to cuddle with her foster dog sisters when napping or sleeping. Her foster cat sister doesn’t like as much attention but there’s no fighting. LuLu would be great in a house with other dogs around her size. She’s very energetic and needs a playmate; she’d also be good with older kids, she might be a bit too much for toddlers."
