Story
My name is Theo and I am a charming black and white dog who has a heart full of love and a personality that shines. I am a fairly chill guy who loves to go on walks and play with toys. And I have been told that I have pretty good leash manners. I have a friendly nature and love meeting new people. I make friends wherever I go! I am a very social and confident dog who is very well mannered. I am also a pretty smart guy who knows the cues for sit, paw, stay, speak and down and more. And because I am so treat motivated, any additional training you may want to do should go smoothly. If you are looking for an affectionate dog, look no further! You should know that cuddles and snuggles are my specialties! I am going to make the perfect couch buddy as you settle in at the end of a long day. I am the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal and loving companion who is sure to brighten up anyone's day! (Would be suited better as the only dog in the home)

Story
Adoptable Bea Bea is the type of dog that when she sees you, she immediately goes into full body wags. Whether you just met, have been gone for 5 minutes or all day, this girl will shower you with affection.  Bea is: Sweet Easily entertained - she loves chewing her bone or playing with toys House broken - she sticks to her schedule, but she’ll also tell you if she’s gotta go real bad Crate trained - ask her to go to her “house” and she’ll settle into her crate Loves kids - because of her clumsiness, she’d do best in a home with kids 10+  LOVES to run, play fetch and flop in the grass  Bea is still a young dog who loves learning. She knows basic commands, checks in regularly with her handler on leash, and knows touch cues.  She would do best in a home with a yard, or a quiet, neighborhood for exercise If you are ready to adopt an ULTIMATE CUDDLE BUG and overall goofball, Bea’s your girl.     Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed.  The breed given to the dog is our best estimate, and should not be used to predict future behavior.

Story
Meaty is a dog who embodies his name.  With Meaty, not only do you get a handsome face but also a weighted blanket. He’s currently 87lbs, but his fosters are working on helping him get back down to an ideal 70lbs. Meaty loves his people and his emotive face will melt your heart every time. He loves to play tug, fetch, and is an expert at getting toys’ squeakers. Meaty currently lives with a female dog and does very well with her – he is playful, but also respects her cues and gives space when needed. Don’t let his robust body fool you – he is quite speedy and loves doing laps around the yard. Meaty is food motivated which helps with his training and he is working hard on his leash skills. He is non-reactive to other humans or dogs on walks while he is on the move. If he’s close to another new dog, he will express excitement. His fosters are working with him on not pulling the lead, and remaining neutral or non-reactive.  Meaty has shown a lot of improvement already and would love to continue his training (and cuddling, lots of cuddling) with his forever family!   Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed.  The breed given to the dog is our best estimate, and should not be used to predict future behavior.

Harry loves walks and has done very well on a leash, stopping for intervals, and sticking with you. Although Harry will need lots of exercise, he has had a soft, cuddly side to him that will just melt your heart. He loves burying his head into you, showing you his version of a hug, with all the love and affection you could ask for! Be prepared for him to show you he's a lap dog. Harry's favorite game is fetch, but he is not all too picky with his toys, he loves them all! The games you play, he will surely participate. His zest for life can overwhelm small children, so a home with kids 12+ would be best for Harry. He does well with dogs, and has thoroughly enjoyed playgroup at the rescue center! Harry has done well with house manners and has been crate trained, though he wouldn't mind a refresher! He is a star when it comes to basic training, knowing to "sit" like a master! His deep food motivation makes him a lovely dog to do tricks with. Harry is a bit too curious about cats, so a feline-free home would be best for this great young man. His goofy eyes, Jack-Russel-like coloring, mixed with his sweet personality and good manners make him your next companion! Come meet him at one of our events, he would love to say hi!

To learn more about Willow Grace, please get in touch with karabear310@gmail.com She's beauty, she's grace, she's Miss Willow Grace! Willow is a sweet and affectionate girl who loves any attention she can get. She loves to greet her humans with hugs and kisses. As her graceful roots indicate, she saunters on leash with minimal pulling, sniffing, and investigating her surroundings – but doesn't seem to like loud trucks. Her sweet and friendly nature doesn't stop with humans, as she has gotten along in the past with other dogs! According to her foster, Willow Grace is a perfect low-to-medium energy house guest, as she is also housebroken and can be left alone uncrated while you go to work. Willow Grace knows basic commands like sit, stay, and paw, and is happy to lounge on the couch to snuggle with you and her favorite stuffy. Willow has so much love to spread to the world around her. If all this love is just what you're looking for, get in contact with us today!

Story
Benji is a 1-year-old Bull Terrier mix with a heart of gold and a passion for cozy naps and outdoor adventures! He's the best life companion, making him the perfect dog for families that love to play and go outdoors. He likes belly scratches, butt scratches, long walks, and other dogs (sometimes a little too much). He loves to play all day since he has a ton of energy, all types of food, he loves people, and being out in the sun. He does not like cones but he can tolerate them, celery, and water in most forms - showers, pools, beaches. He doesn't like being ignored too long, and has a tad bit of separation anxiety at times. Benny would thrive in a home where he can get lots of love and attention but some time for him to sleep as well. He loves a bit of adventure and plenty of time to relax by your side. If you're looking for a loyal, loving buddy who's happy to explore by day and cuddle by night, he is right dog for you!
