Story

Here's what you need to know about me:I'm an active dog! I would love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures.I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.I have some handling sensitivity. That means I have some preferences about how and where I get petted. My human friends at the shelter can tell you more!I would love a family experienced with working breeds or willing to learn. I have some behaviors and preferences that are typical of dogs with a working temperament and would thrive with a family who understands those needs.I'm not on the general adoption floor. You might not see me when you come to visit. So please speak to an adoption counselor if you'd like to meet me. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 67.2 Age: 3yrs 0mths 3wks

Story

SAILOR A HANDSOME YOUNG DOG. GOOD WITH ALL DOGS AND PEOPLE! This sweet, young fellow is Sailor and he came into our rescue when we were told about four dogs that were living with an unhoused man who allowed the dogs to roam freely in the streets while dodging traffic. Thankfully, we were able to get him to surrender all of the dogs to us. We got them straight to our vet where they were all fully vetted. Sailor is now looking for his forever home! This sweet boy is a 1-year-old, 54lb,Kelpie / Akita. He wants to please and craves human companionship. He is just freaking awesome, listen to his name can be goofy and playful, it’s just so rewarding to see a pup that had absolutely nothing and no future to see him play with toys and bones for the first time is priceless . Also he is not recourse guarding and very willing to share if we tell him to. , what a fantastic dog and so loyal. Someone that is not gone long hours during the day, and a home with a safe and secure yard for him to play in. Active owners that will walk daily is exactly what he needs! He is such a wonderful dog and is good with everyone he meets! He deserves the best forever home out there and we won't stop till we find it! This one is like hitting the Jackpot. 🔥❤️😍💕 Sailor is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. 😍🔥😍🔥😍🔥😍

Here's what you need to know about me:I recently became a TRIPOD! That means I only have three legs, my front left leg was injured beyond repair when I arrived at the shelter. My friends at the shelter can tell you more about my medical condition and how to take care of me.I'm friendly and affectionate with people, and pretty easy going, too! Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

Story

Dingo is the sweetest dog for the right person. She is very protective of her person and will do anything you ask of her. She is very obedient, potty trained and ball motivated. She will be happy playing ball all day. She has a lot of energy and should be somewhere where she can run, although she has been with an elderly man for several years and happy if you just throw the ball. She had come from an unhappy situation previously, so she does have some anxiety. She needs a gentle loving home. She is the sweetest dog who needs a loving trusting home. Her owner is currently on hospice, that is the only reason she needs a new home.
