Story
Pickles is a very special boy. My boyfriend and I had him and his twin brother since they were babies unfortunately the relationship has ended and my boyfriend can only keep one and I cannot have a dog where I am going. He is a very sweet boy once he warms up to you. We don’t have children so he is not kid friendly he also has high anxiety so it takes him a while to trust but once he does he is a huge lover. He would be best for quiet home with older people who loves to give attention and lots of belly rubs. He is house trained and extremely smart he knows sit and lay with just hand movements he says please and thank you also. He is not a car happy boy and does get car sick on long rides. He’s ok at the vet but needs meds when it is nail clipping time. He loves to talk and will have full conversations with anyone willing to listen. He is good on a leash and loves walks. He loves to sleep under the covers rolled up behind your legs and keep you warm all night.

Story
All adoption fees are 50% off Friday 9/6 through Saturday 9/7 as part of the Clear the Shelters event! We are doing in person adoptions ONLY these days. Please do not complete an online application. We are open from 12:30-3 and anticipate large crowds for the event. Meet Nova, a sweet and playful 1-year-old pit bull who's ready to find her new family! Nova is house trained and knows how to 'sit' like a pro. Her favorite activity? Chasing after a ball-she could play fetch all day! Nova's previous owner said she did well with kids, but her history with cats is unknown. She's a little nervous around some dogs, so she'll need to meet any potential dog friends first. Nova does resource guard food and chews from other dogs, so if there are pets in the home, she'll need to be fed separately. If you're looking for an energetic and affectionate dog who loves to play, Nova could be the one for you! If you're ready to adopt within the next 24-48 hours and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways: Come in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30p-3:00p. For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt! **OR** Click on the pink "Adopt me" button to submit an adoption inquiry. Watch your email for a response from us! Adopting through this process will take several days and highly desirable pets are likely to no longer be available. PLEASE NOTE: Adoption inquiries are not holds or reservations. Pets are adopted by the first person we talk with who is a good match for the pet's needs. Multiple inquiries are accepted for each pet. All adult dog adoption fees include; -spay/neuter -rabies and kennel cough vaccinations -current parvo/distemper vaccines (may need additional boosters with your veterinarian) -microchip implanted & registered to adopter -treatment of fleas & ticks -veterinary exam and health certificate at Dakin -free vet exam within 30 days of adoption with participating veterinarians Most pets have also received other medical care while with us.

Story
See my Video! Meet Roxie, a 7-year-old pit bull with a heart of gold and a personality that's pure joy. Friendly, funny, and sweet as can be, Roxie is all about her people-she's a total social butterfly who just loves to "chat" with little pitty squeaks! Her previous family adored her but had to part ways due to landlord restrictions. They'll tell you: Roxie is simply the best. Roxie's favorite things are long walks and a good game of tug-of-war. She hasn't lived with other dogs but has made a few mellow dog friends and may be open to a similar buddy in her new home. Roxie has lived happily with a cat before and has done well with kids ages 8 and up. If you're looking for a lovable, loyal companion who brings big smiles and even bigger cuddles, Roxie could be the perfect match!

Story
**IN FOSTER**Govida came to TJO as a very nervous stray, but once she settled in and became more comfortable, she proved just how much energy she had! She can still be nervous when meeting new people, but given time she can warm up quick. She loves to jump, and can reach some pretty impressive heights, so a tall fence is a must for anyone looking to meet her! OTHER PETS:Godiva is enthusiastic and overexcited when meeting other dogs. This energy can be a bit much for most dogs. She does well in play groups with other dogs but we anticipate she would do best as an only pet. NO CATS [Should Be Only Pet]OWNER EXPERIENCE:Godiva would do best with someone who has experience handling large, energetic dogs with positive reinforcement, as she does pull strongly on the leash and can get overexcited. [Experienced]KIDS: Because Godiva is a strong dog that doesn't quite understand boundaries yet, she would do best in a home without any kids. She's jumpy and can get overexcited easily, and she's uncomfortable with some types of handling, so an adult with experience and confidence in handling would be best for her. [Adults Only]ACTIVITY LEVEL:Godiva is a lot of dog with a lot of energy. In a home environment, she would do best with daily walks and various forms of mental enrichment to keep her mind and body busy. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE:[Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED:While Godiva does seem to know `sit` and `paw,` she is still at the beginning of her positive training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Godiva not only learn her basic cues but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well! [Intense]GROOMING:[Minimal]November 2, 2024, 5:47 pm

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
**IN FOSTER**OTHER PETS: Sadie is eager to meet other dogs and is relaxed while she is around them, she would likely get along with other dogs of a similar temperament and size - to ensure a good match Sadie should meet any dogs she would be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] NO SMALL DOGS OR CATSOWNER EXPERIENCE: Sadie will need support from her new owner as she settles in, she typically is not overstimulated but does become so at times, and someone who has not dealt with an overstimulated dog could be overwhelmed by the difference in behavior. Someone who will be a calm anchor to help Sadie recenter herself with while overstimulated would be her best fit. [Some Experience] KIDS: Sadie is a friendly girl who also tends to jump and get mouthy when excited. High pitched noises, flailing hands, and sudden movements can easily excite dogs or elevate already excited dogs even higher - a teen who has experience with dogs or a teen able to understand why such actions need to be avoided around Sadie would be her best fit. [13+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Sadie pulls a little but typically does well on leash and enjoys her walks, ensuring she gets a chance to explore her neighborhood daily, as well as mental enrichment, will help Sadie get the physical and mental stimulation she needs. [Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Sadie bond with her new owner as well as help her learn basic cues. Sadie is a sweet girl who sometimes becomes overstimulated and snappy in the kennel, it is important to remember that redirection to a positive behavior and reward for said positive behavior will be key to helping Sadie handle overstimulation - but her new owner will also be responsible for learning what leads to overstimulation as well as finding creative ways to eliminate/avoid the causes.
