Story
Meet Blue, a high-energy, excitable gal with a zest for life and a heart full of love! Blue is looking for a forever home that can keep up with her energy, provide her with plenty of enrichment, and balance it all with structured downtime. She’s a big fan of treats and belly rubs, which are the quickest ways to her heart, and she walks best on a no-pull harness to make outdoor adventures enjoyable. Blue prefers to be the only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the love and attention. Due to her excitable, mouthy play style, Blue would do best in an adult-only home that understands her spirited personality and is ready to help her shine as the loyal and loving companion she’s meant to be!

Story
Meet Satin "Brenda" Jackets, the fashion icon of the shelter and the queen of sass! This spirited gal has a wardrobe that would make Paris Fashion Week jealous, complete with dazzling outfits and even a fabulous wig. Brenda doesn’t just wear clothes—she owns them, strutting around the shelter with a wagging tail and a runway-worthy prance. When she’s not dazzling everyone with her style, you’ll find her politely (well, most of the time) mingling with the other shelter dogs or putting on her detective hat to stalk the squirrels on the property. Brenda’s zest for life is as bright as her name, and she’s ready to bring some glitz and glamour to her forever family. Though she’s still waiting for her big holiday miracle, Brenda knows her perfect family is out there—perhaps it’s you? She’s got a fun-loving, puppy-ish streak that occasionally shows through her mouthing when she’s excited, but her love of treats and willingness to learn make her a total star student in the making. Older kids who can match her lively energy would be the ideal companions for this vibrant pup. Brenda is a crate champ, settling down like a pro for quiet time or overnight snoozes. With her unique look, boundless energy, and love for life’s finer things, Satin “Brenda” Jackets is ready to sleigh (yes, sleigh!) her way into your heart and home this holiday season!

Story
This is Dutch, Dutch is a 1 year old pup who’s very playful & full of energy. I’ve had him since a pup fresh from the litter. He enjoys going for walks and playing, he’s never really been around any other dogs or children it’s always just been us so when people come around he gets overly excited. He loves treats a lot. My main 3 things I’m looking for in his new home is for someone who’s going to love him and have time for him & treat him with the appropriate care he needs. He doesn’t like to be alone so he’ll cry when he is.

Story
Meet Herman the Worm (formerly Dallas): Your New Adventure Buddy! Herman the Worm is a spirited and playful young dog with energy to spare. This high-energy boy knows basic commands like sit, stay, and down and is working on paw and focus. He shares his home with a lively 4-year-old, and while their high-energy antics often result in fun, Herman's exuberance can occasionally knock the little one over. For this reason, he might do best with older children who can handle his enthusiasm. Herman thrives in social settings with other dogs and enjoys regular playdates with a husky, a pitbull, and a bulldog at a large fenced-in area near his apartment. Whether it's tug-of-war or chasing after balls, Herman shares toys beautifully and relishes every moment of canine camaraderie. With strangers, his excitement to make new friends is boundless, but he quickly settles with a bit of patience and calm introductions. Housebroken and attentive, Herman communicates his bathroom needs by curling his tail upward and heading to the door. However, he's not shy about letting you know if you're taking too long! A fan of three meals of dry adult dog food a day (wet food isn't his thing), Herman stays happy and healthy. He's a quiet companion who doesn't bark, and when it's time to wind down, he's the ultimate cuddle buddy. Whether he's snuggling on the couch or chewing on a bone while you clean, Herman is as loving as he is active. This affectionate, well-mannered pup is ready to bring his boundless energy and big heart to his forever home.

Story
Blonde is a lively and playful 2-year-old pup with energy to spare. She absolutely adores toys, and her favorite activities include playing fetch and tug, where she'll happily engage for hours if given the chance. Blonde's excitable nature means she's always ready for a game, and her joyful spirit is contagious. Though she's still learning to manage her enthusiasm, she already knows commands like "sit and "come, and she appears to be housebroken during her time at the shelter. Blonde would thrive in a home where her energy is embraced and appreciated, particularly one without small children or with kids who are experienced with active, excitable dogs. She's known to jump up for attention, so a household with older children or adults who can guide her training would be ideal. With her bright personality and eager-to-please attitude, Blonde is sure to bring endless fun and companionship to her forever home.

Lyla is our 5-year- old treasure that I rescued several years ago. She’s a very affectionate and loyal sweetheart who wants to be loved at all times. Lyla is a very active companion but also enjoys just lounging around the house while in good company. The reason I’m re-homing Lyla is because I will be deploying for 1-2 years and cannot take her with me.

Story
Meet Midnight - your new snuggle buddy! He is a smart pup that's eager to learn new tricks and please his pawrents. He knows his basic commands and tries to take advantage of "rollover" by stopping halfway for belly rubs. Midnight loves taking walks and has minimal leash pulling. Unfortunately, Midnight and our resident dog just aren’t meshing and we’ve made the tough decision to rehome. He just received all of his annual vaccines, he's neutered, and microchipped. Meaning all he needs is a loving home to call his own! Please reach out if you'd like to meet Midnight to see if he's the right fit for you.

Story
I adopted Reko (Rico) 3/2/21 and we have been inseparable ever since. This breaks my heart to even have to rehome him but he deserves a good home. Unfortunately I am on the verge of homelessness and will have to stay with friends and distant family for a few months to get back on my feet. I'm looking for somebody willing to rehome my dog either permanently or for 4-5 months if necessary. He cannot be around other pets (reactive to dogs) and doesn’t know his size or strength around small children. He's 5 and will be 6 on December 18th. Neutered, vaccinated, and house broken. 90 pounds. He's very loving, loves to cuddle, and all around a great dog. But because of the previous owners abuse he is reactive to other dogs. He needs an active lifestyle even though he loves to be a couch potato. I just need to know he's going to the right home. Shelters are not an option. Even the "no kill" shelters are putting animals down.

Story
MEET TOMMY! (Descriptor: Friendly) This distinguished gentleman is 7 years old and weighs in at a solid 70 lbs. (He may be a little vertically challenged and a tad rotund, but he’s approaching his golden years so who’s judging?) Tommy came to us as part of our community outreach program when his person passed away. Since he's been in our care, Tommy has become our unofficial mascot. He is friendly, sweet, and beautifully trained.  Tommy plays well with male and female dogs around his size but would be perfectly content to curl up at your feet (or next to you on the couch…what a treat that would be!) and just be your guy all by himself.  Tommy is a calm and laid back dog and loves to sun himself in the yard or take walkies in the lane or in the woods. He will occasionally pull on his leash, but we remind him to be 'easy', and he comes back to the side of his handler. Tommy knows all of his commands, and when you tell him 'down,' he will solicit a belly rub. If you really want to make Tommy sing, give him a bum scratch and you’ll be friends for life! We adore Tommy and think as far as mascots go, he's the bestest boy. We also think he deserves a home where he can live out his senior years with a chill family that matches his (relatively low) energy level. Steps may be a problem for him in the future, so a rancher style home may be ideal. Tommy’s adoption donation fee is $350, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for Tommy by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions. October 21, 2024, 8:45 pm

Story
HI! I'M CASS!   I am full of SASS and have even been called CASStastic! I'm a 5 year old, 64 lb, spayed pit bull mix who enjoys the finer things in life. My ideal human will let me snuggle on the couch and sleep in bed with you. You will also rub my belly whenever I give you the 'look' with my soft brown eyes. You will also live in a rural area with a fenced in yard that preferably doesn't back up to any other property and doesn't have access to other animals entering the yard. I've never been exposed to children, so maybe yours are grown?    Like many beauties my age, I have a fear of missing out, and if I think something is happening that I don't know about, I get hyper-focused, as my trainer calls it. My trainer said this means it's hard for me to listen to her when I'd rather focus on a squirrel. Or a leaf. Or a deer. Or a bumble bee. I know many commands and am eager to learn and listen. We are still working on my leash skills, because I get “hyper-focused,” but my trainer says I am now walking on a loose leash more than 50% of the time! I am improving!   I love my toys, soft blankets, and playing in the sprinkler. When I see the sprinkler, I smile so hard and show my adorable crooked bottom teeth!    As well as basic obedience, I am house-broken and crate trained and know my crate is my special spot. I am very treat-motivated, and while I do gently accept treats as a positive reinforcement, I don't like anyone to watch me when I eat my meals. It’s ok to watch me eat treats, though. To keep me working on my focusing and leash skills, a very nice human sponsored 7 training classes with my trainer to keep me going in the right direction! I am truly CASStastic and will be the best dog I can be!   Cass’s adoption donation fee is $375, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for Cass by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.net or www.tarashouse.org.
