Story
A lover boy through and through, paired by the most infectious smirk of all time. Throttle is in high-gear only about 40% of the time, & when he's not; well, just as you can see, he's a snuggle bug. We delegate his energy to his youth, being only 11 months old. But, this tripod boy does also enjoy playing with other dogs, doing tricks for treats, going for walks, hikes, you name it! You'd think having only 3 legs would hold this pint sized fellow back, but Throttle doesn't let it! He is your average WONDERFUL young dog, who is also getting the hang of ALL the basics in his foster home!! From crate-training, house-breaking, and basic obedience; he's getting it ALL! Without even mentioning, he's living in harmony with kids, cats, and another dog, doing absolutely incredibly! His fosters just adore his wonderfully ambitious personality, along with his goofy antics. Throttle was seemingly struck by a vehicle in TX, subsequently brought into their animal control, fortunately for him, he had his damaged leg amputated, and shortly thereafter, he made his way to us to find him his very own family. Could it be yours?! Throttle's one and ONLY requirement is that you hold him like a baby whenever he pleases, if you can live up to that; come meet our boy!

Story
Miss Wallaby! This sweet girl may not be known for her herding skills, but there's no doubt that she's known for her cuddling! Wallaby is great with ALL people, though she has a single shy bone, after a moment to warm up- she's always ready for some cuddling, playtime, or giving out some love! At about 2 years old, she's past her puppy stage and would much rather spend her time gnawing on a bone, than a shoe! She currently weighs in a little over 45, and to be honest, she's a little bit of a hambone, around here, in fact, I think she'd be good to lose a couple! This darling thing gets on well with ALL other animals, even cats! There's truly nothing better than the loyalty of a dog like Wallaby, ALWAYS on the heel of her people. Wallaby's current favorite things to do are 1. give and receive plenty of kisses 2. lick the peanut butter out of a kong 3. run around our lobby, typically with a furry friend to join her; as they insist on all the lovings 4. curl up on our couch here, taking a nap 5. SUN BATHE. She is the QUEEN of laying out in the sun, all relaxed and happy! If you're searching for that incredible dog whose natural personality is loyalty, adventures, and and trust- you've got to meet this girl! She will have your heart quicker than you can even sign!
