General Socialization Notes:

I love to meet new friends, both human and furry. I love to train and I am so willing to learn. I would love for my new family to help me to continue to be the special, confident boy I am. I am making progress with potty training and crate training. I am very food motivated! I am also clicker trained.

Does Spooky like other animals?

Yes!  I get along well with other dogs but I do need a gentle reminder, at times, to take breaks during play sessions. I'd do best with a younger, playful dog rather than an older dog who prefers quiet time. I'm not sure about cats, I haven't met any.

Does Spooky like children?

I would probably do well with older children that can help me with my boundaries. I may be a bit too much for younger children. With guidance, I could learn.

Favorite Toys:

I really love flirt poles!! I also love chew toys and anything that squeaks. I love tug of war, as well.

Ideal Forever Home:

I would love a home where I can balance play and relaxation and humans who want to spend time with me and play. I would do well with another dog who loves to wrestle and tug. A sunny spot for naps is a must!!

General socialization notes:

If it were up to me, I'd snuggle up to my foster family all day every day, or go on an adventure with my foster mom and/or brothers often. I love car rides. I've learned to be quiet during the day at my foster mom's feet while she works. I used to get sad and anxious when she left, but I've become very familiar with going into my crate while she's gone or snuggling up on the couch until she returns. She also bought me a snuggle puppy stuffed animal that has a 'heartbeat' and I've loved curling up with it in my crate. It's really helped me settle in quickly in my crate! I'm so glad to have that now! She also crates me at night when she goes to bed.  My foster mom has tried to give me the best chance at being the best boy for my next home. Aside from getting me vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, she also had me stay for two weeks with a local dog trainer to sharpen my behavior skills and try to socialize me. I absolutely love my pack at home, and could thrive with other dogs in a house! Recently, I developed some noise sensitivity but it may have been due to stress.

Does Ranger like other animals?

DOGS: I sometimes react to dogs on leashes and behind fences as I pass them, but I've been working really hard over the last month on my training and am getting better about ignoring them and not being as afraid they might pop out from the fence. I prefer my small pack at home over neighborhoods that are crowded and saturated with other dogs (like apartment complexes) until I am appropriately introduced and given time to learn to play with familiar dogs. CATS: I tried to meet a cat once since being with my foster mom, but wasn't given ample time and boundaries to get familiar with the cat. If a family is interested in me that has a cat, I'll need time to warm up to it and proper introduction methods to see how I might do.  CHICKENS: At first when we'd pass by a street-facing chicken coop in my neighborhood, I would bark at them. My foster mom takes me by it daily now, and I've majorly improved my demeanor in front of them and my fears are subsiding daily! HORSES: My foster mom has brought me to a barn that houses horses, and introduced me to them while being on leash. I really wasn't interested in them and didn't react as I do with dogs while being on leash. When we ran out in the field where horses were being ridden, I was WAY more interested in a ball and my foster mom.

Does Ranger like children?

While I haven't been exposed to children in the time I've been with my foster mom, it might be best if children in the house were slightly older (8+). Sometimes I get really excited about toys, and I'm still learning the 'drop it' cue. A late grade school, middle schooler, and high schooler might better understand to be patient and not forcefully grab it from me. 

Favorite toys:

I love wrestling with one of my foster brothers and snuggling as close as the other foster brother will let me get to them. My favorite activity has been going to a field and retrieving a thrown ball over and over again. Inside the house, I love playing fetch, but I also love playing keep away with my foster mom. I love making her chase me to get the ball back. It's so much fun! Really any dog toy will get me excited if my new family is willing to throw it for me!

Ideal home:

My ideal home would be one with a patient person or family who will love me unconditionally. I adore my foster mom, and would love to find the same type of person to be my furever home who I can snuggle up to on the couch, who will throw a ball or toy for me, and bring me along on their adventures and car rides! I could do well as an only dog or with a pack. I love going for walks. If my next home has a fence around the yard or farm land, I'd love to spend time in the yard with them as they do yard work or play with me. I have a lot of love to give, and am ready to have a place in my furever home. 

General Socialization Notes:

I'm great at listening and anytime there are treats involved, you have my fullest attention! I need some help with leash training as I can get super excited when seeing other dogs. I am potty trained and crate trained but taking me out after a big chug is always a good idea! I am a puppy so I cant hold it for long.

Does Onyx like other animals?

I love playing with other dogs at the dog park. I would do fine with another dog at home or I may be okay on my own with my humans as long as I have an outlet for my energy. I'm not too sure about cats.

Does Onyx like children?

I have not had a lot of experience with kids but I love all people and love getting rubs and scratches! I am a little jumpy so maybe older children would be best.

Favorite Toys:

I love squeaky toys and enjoy a good tug of war with ropes.

Ideal Forever Home:

My ideal home would be where I have a fun group of people/dogs who can take me on long walks, to the dog parks and play with me! I can get bored sometimes and find things to chew on but I think it's just me being a puppy. I can't wait to meet my forever family!

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 would do best in a house with older kids. Children 13 years and older would 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 know how to come when I'm called. I know sit, down, back (away from the door or table), shake. They're all new to me so I'm not quite 100% yet but I'm pretty good. I have to admit, if I'm hungry I sort of forget to listen. I am not destructive, except to my toys. I am fully house trained. I can stay in a designated place while you cook. I don't beg at the table. Please feed me first and I'll go relax while you cook and eat. I stay off the furniture unless you invite me up. I prefer to be on the floor near you or leaning against you. I am comfortable sleeping on a soft fluffy dog bed at night. I am not good at walking on a leash. I'm working on getting better. I do fairly well until I see a rabbit, then I just can't focus on anything but getting the rabbit and my walking falls apart. I'll need work on that if you want to take me on nice walks and hikes. I have not spent much time on crate training. I'm such a good boy with just being left free in the house. I'll go into a crate just fine. I'd rather not be in there too long though. I have had a brief issue with separation anxiety in the past, but now I understand that you'll be back and I'm okay. If it resurfaces at all with coming to live with you, short leaves to show me I can trust you, will help me know you'll be right back.

Does Hobbs like other animals?

I like to play with other dogs. I get pushy and too excited sometimes. I'm getting better, but still not great at listening when they tell me to stop. A dog that is confident and clear about when they do or don't want to play is a perfect friend. I really do love to chase rabbits… you might say I'm obsessive about it. I'm sure I can tell a cat or small dog from a rabbit but I might be better in a house without smaller pets, just to make sure. My play might be too rough for a small dog. 

Does Hobbs like children?

I have not been around small children. I'm very careful with my foster mom's handicapped adult son though. So I might do great. It just hasn't been tested. A home with older children, 13 years and older, may be best.

Favorite Toys:

Lots of toys are important. I love variety. I am expert at removing fluff and squeakers. I like to play tug. Those “tough toys” are not much of a challenge. A medium sized Kong squeaker ball is my very favorite toy. I like toys I can shake and rip too. I think I would love agility training. I'd be great at that!

Ideal Forever Home:

I do best with routines I can understand and anticipate. I am very smart. I've been called brilliant! But I need to know what to expect. A calmer household calms me. I focus better in a calm place, but I'll still want to play a lot! If you could be home with me at first so I can figure everything out, that would be ideal! The very best place for me is a house with a yard I can play in and explore. A 6 ft privacy fence is a must. I'm a good jumper. I don't try to escape but the squirrels tease me and I jump up after them. I really enjoy looking out the windows or a door. I could watch the world from a front storm door off and on all day!

General Socialization Notes:

I'm independent but also a fan of attention, so if you're looking for a balance, I'm your girl. I can get anxious when I'm left alone, but I think having a confident doggy sibling would make all the difference.

Does Luna like other animals?

I do really well with other dogs and I even like cats!

Does Luna like children?

I've been raised in a home with humans of all ages, from infants to adults, and I've got the perfect temperament to match. My humans lovingly call me their “nanny dog” because I'm gentle, patient, and love to watch over my people.

Favorite Toys:

When it comes to playtime, fetch is my favorite! I'm really into durable, tough-chew toys—they keep me busy for hours! If you're looking for a loyal companion who loves to play but is also great at relaxing, I could be the perfect fit for your family.

Ideal Forever Home:

I would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time because I can get anxious when left alone and I love being with my humans. I'd do great with another confident dog. Cats are fine too!

General Socialization Notes:

People haven't always been nice to me, so I am scared of belts and yelling, but I respond well to gentle guidance and want to be the bestest dog. I listen well to verbal commands and am very treat oriented! I'd love to continue training. Overall, I am a very sweet girl with a huge heart.

Does Buttercup like other animals?

I live with other dogs and do well! I love to play. I currently live with a cat. I sometimes forget and chase him, but I stop when I'm reminded. It took a while, but we are friends now. 

Does Luna like children?

Yes, I live with older children. My current foster Mom feels I could do well with younger children too, with supervision.

Favorite Toys:

I am a strong chewer and like to tear stuffies apart, but I love to play, so if you could provide me with some tough toys I will be so happy! 

Ideal Forever Home:

I would love a family that loves to spend time with me and gives me lots of attention. I have lots of energy so I'd need outlets to let that energy out. I'd love a yard but could live in an apartment as long as I get plenty of walks. I can live with other dogs or be the only dog. I enjoy training with lots of treats! I can't wait to meet my forever family!

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 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 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'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:

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.
