Whether he’s mastering new tricks, inventing his own games, or just supervising whatever you’re doing, he’s always ready for action. He’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and still curl up beside you at the end of it all.

Story
Bart is a Belgian Malinois who was found as a stray by our local shelter, and is now about two and a half years old. He's a smart, energetic dog who knows a plethora of commands, and is always down for a hike or for a run around the park. He is dog reactive, and will resource guard as well. Through some training courses at our shelter we've worked on the dog reactivity, though it's admittedly slow going, and Bart can get quite defensive about any object that finds his way into his mouth. However, he absolutely loves people, and is so happy to lean up against their legs and beg for endless pets. Unfortunately, I don't think we're able to give him the environment that he needs. This is the sort of dog that should be running around big gardens and fields, not worrying about another pet coming around the next corner. We really want to find a home for him that can fit him, and an owner that can give him the support and training he needs. We hope you consider Bart to join your home.

Story
Sadie is a sweet, active young girl with a brilliant mind and a big personality. She loves to learn, stay engaged with the world around her, and be part of whatever adventure her humans are up to. Incredibly attentive and quick to pick up new skills, Sadie would absolutely thrive with training activities, dog sports, or any job that lets her show off her intelligence (which she is very proud of, by the way). She’s looking for a bright, energetic, dog-savvy human partner who enjoys teaching, exploring, and building a strong bond with their dog. Sadie needs continued learning, structure, and new challenges to keep her happy and balanced. She can become protective of her people and home if not kept in check, so experienced dog folks are the best fit. Outdoors, though, she’s relaxed, social, and ready to make friends. Sadie is fantastic with other dogs and genuinely loves people. She’s affectionate in the sweetest way — the kind of dog who leans her whole body into you for pets and insists on being included in the fun. She’s also an athlete in disguise: off leash, she has hilarious bursts of zoomie energy and is shockingly fast when she decides it’s time to hit the afterburners. Sadie enjoys long walks, hikes, outdoor adventures, and especially anything involving water. Lakes, rivers, beaches — if there’s a splash involved, she’s interested. If you’re looking for a bright, affectionate, adventurous companion with a goofy streak, a huge heart, and enough intelligence to keep you on your toes, Sadie might just be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Honey, one of those dogs who is beautiful from the inside out. From her deep inquisitive eyes and her luxurious brindle coat, to her affectionate loyalty and playful spirit, she will steal your heart in a second. Intelligent and athletic, Honey thrives with structure and adventure. She enjoys off-leash pack walks and is a joy to train. In foster care, she has shown that she is an excellent candidate for sport dog and more advanced training. She is also devoted to her person. While she does love and revere her humans, Honey also loves the company of other dogs. Her perfect housemate would be a large playful adult male who wants to chase and wrestle with her. She does well with all small dogs too. Honey is crate-trained and prefers a cozy crate, covered and away from noise, where she can chew on a tasty treat. She does not destroy bedding, but is a strong chewer, so she needs something to keep her busy while she settles in. Honey is a healthy, spayed 2-3 year old 80lb Shepherd mix. She is crate-trained, has beautiful teeth and a gorgeous coat, knows basic commands (and learning more!), is food-motivated, does well in the car, and walks nicely on leash. She is currently on bladder support supplements because she tends to dribble when she is excited to see her people. It isn’t constant, and the supplements seem to help. Her prey drive is not strong. We believe she could learn to live with a cat. It is our strong preference that she live with another dog, but not a requirement. We recommend no small children and require secure fencing. If you are looking for your soulmate, please reach out. Honey is waiting for you! Email waggytaylor@gmail.com to set up a time to meet her.

Hi, I'm Rita! I'm a smart, energetic young lady with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. I love playing with other dogs, playing fetch and soaking up attention from my favorite humans. If you're looking for a loyal companion, I might be your perfect match! I'm extremely intelligent and love learning new things, so I'll do best with someone who enjoys training, enrichment activities, and keeping my busy mind engaged. I have lots of energy and need plenty of space and daily exercise to help me stay happy and healthy. After a fun day of adventures, playtime, and learning, I'm more than happy to share my affectionate side and enjoy time with my family.
