General Socialization Notes:

I have a lot of training and I learn new skills really quickly. I love being a working dog so give me a task or something to do and I'm on it. I lack manners at times, I like to barge through doors or open ones that are supposed to be closed but mainly because I just want to be involved. 

Does Ranger like other animals?

Yes and no. I've lived with other dogs but I'd been around them multiple times (or grew up with them) so I'd suggest a slow and low energy introduction. Dog parks make me nervous and I can be reactive on leash to others so it's best that I don't go on walks with a lot of paw traffic or to festivals or large crowds. 

Does Ranger like children?

Yes and no. I currently live with 2 under 2 and frankly it stresses me out. Their quick movements, loud actions, and unpredictable behavior coupled with my breed as a herding dog, make it really hard for me to thrive in this environment. Older kids, where I can cuddle and they act more low key would probably be a better environment for me.

Favorite Toys:

A good ole' fashioned tennis ball - but I'm older and my hips give me trouble so I can't play ball for too long. I destroy everything, so a good antler makes me really happy. No rope toys because I can break them down into small pieces. 

Ideal Forever Home:

I think the best place for me would be an older home, and possibly one where I can be spoiled rotten. I'm a comfort body so one that lets me on the couch and sleep in bed. Maybe a place with property so I can run around and cause trouble. I need a home with a lot of patience and love, because I need a lot and give a lot. I know how much my mom loves me, she's been my best friend since I was born and I know she's trying to give me the best chance to have the happiest life! I'd do best in a home with older children.

General Socialization Notes:

I'm a very calm guy. But, if a storm is coming through, or fireworks are going off, I need my human nearby. If I have a furry brother or sister who free-feeds and doesn't eat their breakfast or dinner, I might politely sneak a taste. Car rides give me shivers, but I couldn't be better when we get where we're going! Public or private events, I'm great and well behaved at both. House trained and proud. Finally, absolutely no crates for me! I promise I won't misbehave unless a storm is nearby and you're not here. If you aren't, I will try to dig at doors and the floor to get out and find you.

Does Atlas like other animals?

Cats are my favorites—day-to-day low maintenance like me! I grew up with two brothers and have lots of dog buddies! I get along with most furry friends, but ask them for some space with my food. I may need to take the time to get to know other males sometimes, usually if they are intact or are also huskies. 

Does Atlas like children?

I absolutely love people—children, teens, adults, doesn't matter to me. They love me, and I want to meet them all if you give me permission! 

Favorite Toys:

Not a huge toy pup, but I am always down for walks! If you like to hike too, even better!

Ideal Forever Home:

I'd do best with someone who can be home or with me consistently! Retirees, people who work from home, houses with stay-at-home spouses, or a human needing a special, furry emotional support friend to be by their side—all great matches for me. Constant attention not needed at all, in fact I keep to myself a lot. But your presence keeps me calm with scary thunder and fireworks! 

General Socialization Notes:

I'm very shy and will need a family that will help me with my confidence. Once I feel safe, I love to snuggle. I also really love car rides! I am still learning to like my crate, so I'll need help with that. I seem to be a bit more shy around men than women.

Does Indy like other animals?

Yes, I do fine with other dogs. I've done really well in play groups and I love to play.

Does Indy like children?

Because I'm a pretty shy girl, I'd prefer a home with older children, 13 years and older may be best.

Favorite Toys:

I love bones, rope toys and my favorite toy is my hamburger squeaky toy.

Ideal Forever Home:

My ideal home would be with a family that is willing to train with me and help with my confidence and most of all be patient. I'd love a home with a yard to run and play in. Another dog may be best for me too.

General Socialization Notes:

I am a sweet, social girl! I am a bit reactive on leash but I'm working on that. I also feel a bit unsure of moving cars, they make me feel a bit uncomfortable. I am very smart and love to learn. I'd love to continue to train!

Does Sora like other pets?

I'm not too sure about cats because I haven't met any. I've lived with other dogs before but it's been a while, so maybe a slow introduction to new dog friends would be good. I have done very well with other dogs off leash when I'm out and about. I love to play!

Does Sora like children?

I love children! I'm very sweet with them.

Favorite Toys:

I love rope toys, stuffed Kongs, and squeaky toys. I like to shred toys sometimes so please make sure I don't swallow any pieces. I also really enjoy fetch!

Ideal Forever Home:

I'd love a family that is active and is willing to train with me. I'd love a yard so I can run and play and burn off my energy. I want a family that will give me lots of attention and go on adventures with me. I could live with another dog or just with my human(s). I'd do fine with children. I'm a great girl and can't wait to meet my forever family.

General Socialization Notes:

I am playful, enthusiastic, energetic, and great in a car until I see a person or a person with a dog out the window, then you will hear my big bark. I react on a leash to people, dogs and wildlife and have been working on meeting people with one of my dog friends at my dog daycare. Play is my biggest reward and I love playing with my friends. Once I trust a person, I'm very affectionate but it does take me time.

Does Zara like other animals?

I am reactive on a leash when I encounter dogs and wildlife. I'm getting better at not reacting to people. I get along with my male dog friends at daycare and live with two chihuahuas, a shepherd mix, and four cats. Introductions need to be done in a proper way to ensure my success. I can be pushy with housemates with getting attention and I like to take all the toys for myself.

Does Zara like kids?

I don't currently have any kids to play with, but with my enthusiasm, it might be best if I'm with kids over 8, just so everyone is safe in play.

Favorite Toys

I enjoy playing with and chewing on a variety of items, such as sticks, bully sticks, tug toys, and stuffed animals.

Ideal Home

My ideal home would be one where I receive regular attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I learn quickly and already know cues such as sit, down, touch, and crate. I would be a good companion for a male dog, but I could be the only dog in a household and be fine too.  I need an experienced dog owner to setup introductions to new people and dogs and continue working with me on my confidence.

General Socialization Notes:

I sometimes may take a moment to warm up to new people but once I feel good, I'm your best friend. I especially like when new people give me treats. I am a smart girl and love to learn.

Does Wanda like other animals?

I have lived with other dogs and a cat. I love to play with lots of energy. I have a best dog friend currently who matches my energy and we love to play.

Does Wanda like children?

I like to make friends and could live with kids if they were 10+ years old.

Favorite toys:

My current dog brother is a master of destroying toys, so unfortunately I don't get a lot of play time with them. Maybe you can show me some fun toys and play with me? 

Ideal Forever Home:

I would love a fenced yard to run around in, and maybe another dog to play with! I like going for walks but I tend to pull, so I need someone who can teach me better leash manners. A home with children 10 years and older would be best.

General Socialization Notes:

My foster parents say that I am extremely intelligent and really want to execute my cues properly. I have had 10 one on one training sessions. I lay down, sit, stay, go to my bed, walk on a leash well, I'm fully potty and crate trained and I LOVE treats which makes me a breeze to train! I do have a puppy brain so sometimes I black out, but overall I'm 95% perfect with bouts of deafness and it's hard for me to focus when I'm scared. Back in October of 2023, I was found on the side of the road. I was neglected, abused and thrown away like trash. I weighed half my body weight and couldn't even stand without shaking, I never had the chance to socialize or be a carefree puppy. My foster parents took me in and have been providing stability and teaching me how to be a dog. I am still very weary of strangers, particularly men, and can be unsure in new surroundings but I'm getting better every day. I even quit Army crawling around the block or hiding from the T.V.

Does Mr. Winston like other pets?

From my past abuse and neglect, I take some time to warm up to other dogs. I hate being barked at but will tolerate anything from my dog friends. I want to be liked by everyone so I'm working really hard at introducing myself properly. I currently live with two other dogs and accept that the 20lb, 13 year old dog is the boss. In an ideal world, I would be the center of attention. 

Does Mr. Winston like children?

I am very curious about children and I'm always happy to see them but I like my space and time to process my surroundings without being overwhelmed or forced into interactions. Ideally I would prefer older children, 13 years and older, or a home with no children. 

Favorite Toys:

I love toys that I can tug, shake, and pull the stuffing out of. If they squeak I am in heaven. I am good at fetch and will play until your arm is tired. 

Ideal Forever Home:

I really need kindness, consistency, and continued training. New situations can be overwhelming to me, someone who is confident will allow me to calm down quickly. I am a goofy guy who will promise to make you smile and if you're introverted without a bunch of people coming into the house I would be really grateful. If you prove to be trustworthy, I will show you what love really is because I have so much to give. I may do best as an only dog and in a home with no children.

General Socialization Notes:

I am a happy, confident girl who loves kids, people, and dogs. I am on the nippy side (I am a puppy AND a cattle dog mix, after all). I know my name. I am kennel trained, and I will tell you when I have to go potty so you can take me outside. I like to chase stuff that moves. Loud noises don't bother me.

Does Peanut like other pets?

I love dogs. I'm curious about cats and will want to chase them but just to play.

Does Peanut like children?

I love kids, but I can be nippy. I might do best in a house with older kids.  Children 13 years and older may be best.

Favorite Toys:

I love toys that I can tug, shake, and pull the stuffing out. I also love digging in my dog pit, chasing the flirt pole and playing sniffy games! I also like to explore the world on walks.

Ideal Forever Home:

I am a super intelligent girl with lots of energy, so I need a home with a fenced yard where I can run and sniff. I also need humans that will help me continue learning my puppy manners. And if you have a dog that would like to run and play with me, that would be great!

General Socialization Notes:

I am good at looking adorable! I play well with other dogs. I do well with slow introductions with cats. I do well on leash and on walks. I am very smart, but I haven't had much training. I need to work on coming when called; if I get outside, I like to run away. I do not like my crate but I am so willing to train.

Does Emsley like other animals?

I get along with other dogs and cats. I like to chase new cats, but once introduced slowly, I do well with cats in the home. As long as they don't run, I won't chase. 

Does Emsley like children?

I would do fine with children.

Favorite Toy:

I love squeaky toys and I love chewing on hard toys.

Ideal Forever Home:

I'd love a forever home where I can get lots of cuddles, attention, and patience. I would do well with another dog in the home. I am friendly and laid back and just love spending time with my humans.

General Socialization Notes:

I am kennel/potty trained and know all my basic commands. I'm still working on my leash manners and reactivity. I'm not very food motivated with training but I'll do just about anything for some butt scratches! (and maybe I'll do my butt scratch tap dance for you if I REALLY like you)

Does Hallie like other animals?

I love living with other dogs but I'd do best in a home without cats.

Does Hallie like children?

 I haven't warmed up to small children/babies just yet. Sometimes when our baby wants to play with me, but I don't want to play with her, I get a little upset and leave. It would be ideal that any children in the home would be old enough to understand my boundaries. Children 13 years old and older might be best.

Favorite Toys:

My mom gets me super durable bones and toys to play with and LOTS of bouncy balls for fetch- my favorite!

Ideal Forever Home:

My ideal home could have dogs or could not- I am happy either way. It would also be a place where I got a lot of love and pets, lots and lots of adventures and outdoor time, and a mom and/or dad who just want to spoil me. I'd do best without cats in the home and with children 13 years of age or older.

General Socialization Notes:

I'm a good boy but I need someone who is able to continue my training so I can continue to become even better. I am crate trained and potty trained, but I do sometimes mark in the house. If there were no other male dogs in the home, it might be easier for me.

Does Scrappy like other pets?

I am reactive when I meet other dogs on leash, so meeting dogs off leash is less stressful for me. I am pretty selective with my dog friends and might be best as an only dog, but some submissive dogs and females are ok. I would do best with no small animals. 

Does Scrappy like children?

I am a high energy guy and would do best in a home with adults only or older children. 

Favorite toys:

I love to play with balls. Chase is my favorite game. I've never played with a flirt pole before but I think they sound super fun!

Ideal forever home:

I would love a backyard where I could run and play. An active family that could take me on hikes and adventures would be amazing! I also need someone who is invested in my training and willing to help me become the dog I know I can be. 

General socialization notes:

I'm the whole package! I'm house trained, crate trained, well-behaved for grooming, and I even know a few commands. When I'm hiking, I know to stay on the trail with my people. I love training and am super food motivated, so you can teach me more tricks and fun things if you want. 

Does Toni like other animals?

I love to play with other dogs! I've lived with dogs before and shared a yard with the neighbor's dogs. I love other dogs so much that when I can't go say hi to them, I will sometimes pull and yelp. I'm working on my leash skills but will need some help from my new family. When I see cats on walks, I try to chase them. I would love a home with another dog, but a home without any cats would be best. 

Does Toni like kids?

I haven't been around children very much. They seem like they might be fun, but I do jump when I get excited. A home with only adults or older kids would be best. 

Favorite toys:

I'm a die hard fan of playing tug and taking apart stuffed toys. My favorite toys are my squeaky kong ball and my plush beachball. When I'm not playing, I also enjoy car rides and going for walks. I'm a pretty nosey guy and delight in people watching and sniffing everything I can.

Ideal home:

I would do best in a home where I'm not left alone for long time periods. I'm happiest when I'm with my family and would do best with dog siblings to play with or a human who can give me lots of walks and play sessions. 

General Socialization Notes:

I love meeting new people! I am a very sensitive girl so I'd need a gentle touch. I love to cuddle!! I would do best as an only dog. I am very smart and very treat motivated.

Does Rosie like other animals?

I would prefer to be an only dog and spend time with my humans that way I get all the love! I am not sure about cats so a home without cats would be best.

Does Rosie like kids?

I would love to be in a family with older children, 13 years and older. I'd love to play with them! No small children because I am a bit enthusiastic.

Favorite Toys:

I love frisbees, balls and Benebones! I am also a master at fetch. My special talent is catching treats in the air. I love that game!

Ideal Home:

I'd do best in a home where I have lots of space to run and play. I love my zoomies! I'd love a family that will give me lots of attention and training. I enjoy taking hikes and going on adventures. I'm a curious and loyal companion! I would prefer a home as an only dog to get all the love and attention from my humans.

GENERAL SOCIALIZATION NOTES:

I am scared of a lot of things in the world and need another dog to help be a bridge between myself and humans, especially. I do not like to be handled and can be very timid. I am currently on behavior medications to help with my anxiety. I am potty and crate trained but I do have accidents when I am very scared.

DOES CHLOE LIKE OTHER PETS?

I need another dog to help me out in the world. I love to play with my dog friends once I feel safe in an environment. I am very curious about cats and will bark at them sometimes, but I otherwise leave them alone.

DOES CHLOE LIKE CHILDREN?

Because I am so nervous about the world and about humans, I should not be in a home with children under 12. Not children at all would be best.

Favorite Toys

I like ice cubes, treats, project toys, and appropriate chew toys. 

IDEAL FOREVER HOME:

My ideal home is one with another dog and a yard with a 6 foot fence. I am a flight risk when I get scared, so apartment living is not for me. I cannot be taken on regular walks since I will run if I get spooked. A home that will take things very slowly with me would be best.

General Socialization Notes

I started out my life as a breeding dog and didn't get much interact with people. Since I've come to live in a home, there are a lot of things that I am still learning. You will have to be patient with me when I come to live with you.

Does JuJuBe like other pets?

I have been introduced to other dogs and cats. I get along fine with them Having a dog friend might be nice, as long as they are appropriate wth me.

Does JuJuBe like children?

I would be fine with children over 12, but younger children are too quick and unpredictable for me. I am not used to humans and they way they move sometimes.

Favorite Toys

I am more of a food-motivated dog and don't really understand toys. I won't take the treats from your hand yet, but I love them all the same and don't want to miss out on any.

Ideal Home

My ideal home is one where people are patient and understanding with me. I need a fenced yard, since I don't under the leash at all. And I would prefer an x-pen instead of a cart, since I can be difficult to get out sometimes.

General socialization notes:

I'm a social butterfly and want to be friends with everyone I see! I do get overly excited when making new friends, so I need someone who is willing to work with me on learning to not jump on people or be mouthy. 

Does Percy like other pets?

When I see small animals, I want to chase them. I also am nervous when I see other dogs, so I would like to be an only pet in the house. 

Does Percy like children?

I like everyone! I lived with an older kid in my last home and really enjoyed it. It's best that I not live with young children though since I am still learning not to jump and be rowdy when excited. 

Favorite toys:

I like to play with balls and tug toys. Project toys are a lot of fun too! 

Ideal home:

I would like a home where I am the only pet. A yard where I can run and play off leash would be super fun! My last home had a low fence and I learned to jump it, so the fence needs to be at least 4.5 ft tall. My ideal person would also be willing to continue working with me on basic obedience cues and manners when meeting new friends. 

General Socialization notes

She knows some tricks like sit, come, shake, etc but she occasionally struggles with stay. Sometimes, she will sit pretty without being asked to. She loves to hug with her front legs and when getting a belly rub, it's her favorite when you also hold her head. She is a great cuddle buddy as she loves to be close to her hoomans. She is currently allowed on all furniture but if that's not okay for whatever reason, she will obey and stay off of it. Sarah will also bark at knocks on the door but she will stop as soon as commanded to. 

Does Sarah like other animals?

Sarah is not good with other dogs. She is lacking confidence and has some fear but I wouldn't say she is aggressive. She is able to see a dog some feet away and ignore it. But if that dog barks and appears that it wants to approach her, she will react aggressively. Sarah has had some unfortunate interactions with other dogs where injuries have happened so it is recommended that Sarah be the only dog in the house. As far as I know, Sarah hasn't been exposed to any other animals but to be safe she should probably be the only animal. 

Does Sarah like kids?

Sarah is great with hoomans of all ages, especially kiddos. She will let them lay on her, pat her, rub her, etc. Again, she is extremely docile. 

Favorite toys

A soccer ball for sure and she also likes the dogs toys that have a crinkling sound to them.

Ideal home

Sarah's ideal home would be one where she is an only pet and has all her hoomans' attention. Lots of couch time would also be great!

General Socialization Notes:

I do need a little time when meeting new people. I will bark and jump, at first. With yummy treats, I do warm up quickly. I do, sometimes, chew random objects if they are easy for me to get, but I'm working on that.

Does Bandit like other pets?

I love other dogs but sometimes, I can be a little much for them. I like to play rough. But, I'd love a buddy that matches my energy! I may do best in a home without cats.

Does Bandit like children?

I have lived with children, but I may do best in a home with older children, 12 years old and older.

Favorite Toys:

 If it's a toy, I love it!! Some of my all time favorites though, are kongs, rope toys, bones and balls!

Ideal Forever Home:

I'd  love a home with a yard to run and play in. I'd also love a family that loves to spend time with me and cuddle. I'd love to live with another dog, but that dog would need to match my energy and play style, so we could play all day! A home with older children and no cats, would be best.

General Socialization Notes:

I'm crate trained and pretty social with people.  Sometimes I can be reactive on leash, and I have some barrier frustration as well. I warm up quickly to new friends though, especially with treats! Snuggling is one of my favorite activities. I'm deaf, but that doesn't stop me from living a normal life and having fun. I do struggle with marking indoors, but I am used to wearing a belly band inside. 

Does Nemo like other animals?

I get along with most dogs, but I can be bossy at times. I'm ok with cats too! They can be fun to chase sometimes but I don't mean any harm. I just want to play. 

Does Nemo like kids?

I've never lived with kids, but I used to have a neighbor with kids. I really liked them! I think older kids would be the best. 

Favorite toys:

I'm not too interested in toys but I love chewing on bully sticks. 

Ideal home:

My ideal home would be a house with a fenced yard. Apartment living would be difficult with my full-time responsibilities as Neighborhood Watch Commander. A home where I didn't have to be alone for long periods of time would be great since I do get a little anxious when I'm by myself. 

GENERAL SOCIALIZATION NOTES:

When I am not at home I do well around other people although at home I do struggle with new people coming into my space and bark at them. I am learning to do better! 

DOES HARPER LIKE OTHER PETS?

I currently live with a dog and do well. I may do best as an only dog as I do not share bones and treats well and I like all of my human's attention! I go to the dog park frequently so I can run around with the other dogs and play fetch with the people! I do not want to live with cats because I will chase them. 

DOES HARPER LIKE CHILDREN?

I do well with older children. 15 +

FAVORITE TOYS:

Have I not mentioned I LOVE to play fetch? tennis balls are life.

IDEAL FOREVER HOME:

I need someone that is very active and wants to train with me and is patient while I learn how to be okay with people coming over to my house! If you have or plan on getting a chuck-it were probably made for each other. I am working on my demand barking and kennel training (I like to be free roaming and do great!). I need someone who is patient and doesn't mind me vocalizing all my opinions! If you love to go on adventures and need a buddy, I am your girl! I would do best in a home with a backyard since when I play or bark it can be loud and not ideal for apartment living.

General Socialization:

I am very timid with new people. I need an adopter who can commit to multiple meetings over time before I could come home with you. Loud noises are scary so a calm and quiet living environment with only one or two adults would be best for me. I would not do well living in an apartment or shared wall situation. I need a fenced yard. I'm crate trained and dog-door trained!  

Do you like other pets?

I love to play with other dogs. I don’t have experience being around cats.

Do you like children?

I don't like loud noises. Children are often loud, so I prefer to not be around them. I would do best in a home without children.

Do you like people?

I’m shy but I love relaxed and loving people. I’m crate trained and dog-door trained!

What's your ideal home like?

I'd love a dog friend to play with me and a big back yard to run around in. I need a quiet home with only one or two people. I love to work for treats! I need to have a house with fenced in yard. 

What are your favorite toys?

I love playing with my dog friends and chewing on bones, but I also need me-time. I love to rest on my dog bed or near my humans.
