Story
Introducing: sweet Mr. Charlie (formerly known as Pansy)! This handsome little guy had quite a rough beginning to life…as he was diagnosed with parvo at 7 weeks old. He was hospitalized for over 2 weeks, and in those 2 weeks he showed his true strength and resilience…as a fight for his life he undoubtedly had! Charlie was heavily medicated, tube fed, and monitored by the hour. When he was stable enough to be released from emergency care, his current foster family took him in in-order to keep him separated from his siblings. Fast-forward to today, and Charlie is healthy, happy, strong, and thriving! His care costs were expensive…but you can’t put a price tag on a precious little life. And for Charlie’s life we are SO thankful! Born on 1/1/24 (a New Year’s baby! ) to mama Rosie, Charlie (male) is now over 5 months old. He weighs-in right around 30lbs; our best guess is that fully grown he’ll reach 60-65lbs. Charlie (with all of his cuteness ) is SUCH a lovable little guy! He has lots of energy, loves to give out kisses, and gets along so well with other dogs + humans of any/all ages! He is kennel-trained, usually sleeps through the entire night, knows how to sit, shake, high five, and lay down! As a bonus, he is highly food/treat motivated AND extremely smart! He is bell-trained and will hit the bell hanging at the door when he needs to be let out to potty. Because Charlie’s stomach continues to heal from the toll his illness took on his body, he does tend to have some digestive issues. This may/may not continue for the extent of this sweet boy’s life (good veterinary care will need to be established by his adopters ), but as of right now he’s on a special kibble diet that has proven to be beneficial for his tummy troubles. He would love a family who can exercise him regularly (he’s an active, energetic guy!), and — although not a requirement — would especially love a fenced-in yard to run and play in. He most loves being outside and sunbathing in the backyard! Charlie is being fostered with children ages 6 and 9, and has been around kiddos as young as 5. He loves them all! Though as with any pup, young kids should be taught respect + proper puppy boundaries! As of right now, it is unknown how he’d do with kitties. Charlie loves to play, loves snuggling up in cozy blankies, and just loves being loved. He is such a sweet boy…and a survivor. He will make a wonderfully loving addition to a family he’s able to call his own. Apply now + reach out via private message…just ask for Charlie!

Story
This handsome lad is Boober (any Fraggle Rock fans out there?! ) & is a SPECIAL NEEDS adoptable boy who was born deaf. He is just under 1 year old (born on 10/21/23), and comes from mama Mokey’s litter. Our best guess is that he’s a boxer/lab/pittie mix. He weighs in @ 50-55lbs.  Boober is an AMAZING boy who — despite his inability to hear — has an undeniable zest for life! He is guaranteed to make you smile! He is crate-trained and completely potty-trained. His on-leash skills are a work in progress; he does well most of the time, but does tend to pull when he gets excited. Boober has been working very diligently with his foster family on learning sign language commands. So far he has mastered: “outside, potty, quiet, sit/down, no,” and of course a LOT of: “good boy!” This social, happy-go-lucky boy simply loves EVERYONE he meets! From humans (adults & kids), other dogs (of all ages & sizes), to cats…he is a friend to all! Boober’s all-time favorite thing = playing in water! Whether at the river, in a kiddie pool, from a bucket, or even straight out of the hose…he can’t get enough! He rides on the boat like a champ and can’t wait to get to the sandbar (to play in the water, of course!). He’s also a good copilot on car rides, though could use a bit more practice getting in & out of the car on command. He is simply the best, most lovable boy…with endless potential! We can’t wait to see him absolutely thrive in the forever home he’s been so patiently waiting for… BOOBER’S HOME REQUIREMENTS: 1 A fenced-in backyard (for his safety + secure containment) 2 LOTS of toys! He is a super-chewer, so needs plenty of tough toys (balls, tug toys, strong chews, pig ears, etc.) 3 A family who is PATIENT, provides him with plenty of adjustment time + grace as he transitions to a new home, and [of course] forever unconditional love! 4 Experience with hearing impaired/special needs pups isn’t necessarily required, but is a major perk! APPLY HERE: https://newleashdogrescue.com (or private message us if you’re already preapproved!)  **Boober’s $250 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccinations, heartworm test, and microchip. ##1879999##

Story
Chun-Li is and Extended Stay Friend. Her adoption fee is $125. Meet Chun-Li, the sweet old girl who’s the best of both worlds! She's the perfect mix of calm and playful! Chun-Li walks nicely on a leash, making her a pleasant partner for leisurely strolls. While she may not be interested in toys, she never says no to treats or some good butt scratches. Chun-Li treasures the affection of her people above all else and is happiest when she’s close to you. If you're looking for a gentle and loving companion who prefers quiet moments of togetherness over the hustle and bustle, Chun-Li is the perfect match for you! **Here are some words from her foster family!*** "She has been absolutely flourishing here and has turned into a fairly active pup! We have been working on her stamina with walks with her joints in mind and are now up to about 1.5-2 miles at a time. Her joints don’t seem to bug her at all, she no longer has trouble hopping on the couch. She demands walks every day (it’s quite funny) and has a blast. We have loved fostering her again, she is a true queen!" Chun-Li would do fine in a home with children of all ages. We are not sure of how she is around cats Chun-Li can be selective with her doggy friends so a dog-to-dog meet is required before going into a home with other dogs. Chun-Li recently went on a Doggy Day Out with one of our volunteers and did wonderfully. She did great in the car, enjoyed a pup-cup and did lots of exploring. She was described as sweet, gentle, kind, beautiful and inquisitive. Here is what our volunteers have to say about her: "Chun-Li is a super sweet, docile, gentle girl. She did great riding in the car and going to the parks and exploring. She is such a sweetheart. I hope she finds an amazing "furever" home very soon." Chun-Li is a 7.5 year old female Pit bull who is fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and currently weighing 66.5lbs. *If you are interested in adopting please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal

Story
Meet Rocco, a 2-year-old handsome Pit Bull Terrier with impressive basic training skills. This playful pup has his commands down pat and is eager to show off his good manners such as: "sit", "down", and "shake". Rocco is all about giving kisses and having fun with his favorite rope toys and tennis balls—fetch is his game! Rocco would do well in a home with children of all ages. Rocco generally gets along best with smaller dogs, and with the right introductions, he can enjoy playdates and have a great time. However, Rocco can be reactive toward some dogs, which means he would thrive as the only dog in the household. Rocco would benefit from carefully managed playdates with dog pals, allowing him to bond and have fun with dogs he's comfortable with. Here is what our volunteers have to say about him: Rocco does wonderful on Doggy Day Outs. He enjoys hiking and makes a great walking buddy. He loves pup-cups and was described as sweet, treat-motivated, a good listener, snuggly, and aware. "Rocco is a very sweet boy and loves car rides! He loves to have his head out the window and take in all the city action! He is very treat motivated and loves to train and learn new things. During our walk today we continued to master sit and saw a lot of other people. Rocco is a very sweet boy and even enjoyed a nap in the car on the way back." "Rocco did great today. Was very calm and quiet when we encountered other people and dogs. He is very happy to do anything as long as he gets to be involved. He is definitely a big lap dog. He did great with tricks/commands," "Rocco loved his Doggy Day Out! He did great in the car. He is so smart with his tricks and loves treats. He loved to walk and was great on the leash. He didn't pull. He did seem scared/uneasy when passing people on the trail walk. He loves pup cups and was searching for more after! I hope he finds a great home!" Rocco is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and weighing 51 lbs. If you're ready for a loyal playtime partner, Rocco is the perfect fit! *If you are interested in adopting please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal
