Story
You won't need two eyes to see that I'm a really great boy that's ready to find a loving home to call my own. I have a super cute face that's a mirror into my sweet disposition. I love to give hugs and kisses and sit obediently by your side like a loyal friend. I'm smart, too and know sit and down already. I would love to accompany you on walks and playing in the park or just sitting by you watching a good movie. I'm athletic and agile so I'm able to do more strenuous activities with you like hiking and running. Come see me soon! You won't be disappointed!

Story
Buddy is a strong, athletic young guy with a cute curly tail who loves getting out to explore his surroundings! He doesn't seem interested in toys or playing fetch, but he might be able to learn that if it is something that you enjoy! He could be the perfect jogging partner, or even a fantastic hiking partner as he loves to explore new places! He would love to have an active family who can offer him physical activity along with love and lots of attention! Come meet this dog!

Story
Good Golly, Ms. Molly!! Don’t I have the most amazing eyes and eyebrows? I’m a small young, very happy girl that loves walks. I’m great on leash and adore meeting new people. Playing with other pups is just so much fun too. I’m playful and extremely smart - so ready to learn new tricks. I just nailed “sit”. Love to stay by our side when we're bench surfing. Cuddles are the best and I’m always checking in with you. Ready to explore our new lives together? I know I’m ready for you. A team member says, "Molly is a doll! She is always so happy to see you and adores affection. She walks beautifully on a leash and gets the cutest zoomies in the park. She's a sweet young lady who would make anyone very happy."

Story
Let’s take naps together, but only to recover from walks and hikes and playing and stuff like that. If you adopt me, I’ll be a gift that keeps on giving. The Arizona town of Prescott is the “Christmas City of Arizona.” What a coincidence! Naps and gifts and me! And my coat is dark chocolate and my eyes milk chocolate. Chocolate’s good for health and well-being, so I give in so many ways! It’s a bummer I can’t have any. Anyway, I’m ready for forever with you. Let’s forever together!
