Meet Pepper! Pepper is a shy, 4.5 year old Bernedoodle who is bonded to her friend Cheddar. These two will need to find their forever home together. Pepper came from a difficult past life and is trying to learn that the world is safe and humans can be kind. She arrived very shut down and scared. Pepper is in a foster home now and is slowly learning how to be a dog. She has learned how to take treats from your hand- as long as she is sitting in the safety of her crate. She loves to follow Cheddar outside to the backyard and run around with her. She will then follow Cheddar back inside. Sometimes Pepper actually takes the lead and Cheddar will follow her back inside. They love to run and chase each other! Pepper does not know what to do with a toy, but often fills her crate with them. She also is venturing out of her crate into other rooms more and more. Pepper will need a patient adopter who is willing to give her time to decompress, build trust and come out of her shell at her own pace. While she may be timid now, we believe she has so much potential. She has already made great strides and shown us that she wants affection and wants to feel loved. With time, patience and love, Pepper and Cheddar could truly blossom into wonderful companions!

Meet Cheddar! Cheddar is a sweet, approximately 4 year old Bernedoodle who is bonded to her friend Pepper. These two will need to find their forever home together. Cheddar shares a similar background as Pepper, but trusting in a human comes easier for her. Cheddar is the more adventurous of the two. She is usually the first to run outside and would stay outside forever if you would let her! Running around, rolling in the grass and chasing her buddy are her favorite activities. Cheddar’s tail never stops wagging and she will come up to you once she feels she can trust you. She will then lean in to you be petted. She loves treats and will take them gently from your hand. Everyday, she gets braver and explores more of her surroundings. With a loving home and a family that will let them explore and trust at their own pace, both Cheddar and Pepper will make wonderful companions!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER :   Mr. Popular! Max/Cottontail gets along with everyone! Except chickens!   HISTORY : Max (FKA Cottontail) was the biggest pup in Bunny’s litter and was raised using the Puppy Protocol with proper socialization. He was adopted by a wonderful family with other dogs, cats, kids and a farmette with chickens. He went to an office with the owners every day and enjoyed time with visitors between naps. Max enjoyed playtime until he met the few chickens that he could catch and play a bit rough with. The adopters thought it best to return him to us to find him another home.      PERSONALITY : Max is friendly, laid back, curious, brave and loving. He is very food motivated so he would be easy to train for any advanced tasks. He knows sit, paw, come (in his own time). He goes to a dog friendly office every day and is not reactive, sleeps, greets with a tail wag and is learning not to jump up and hug new friends.  FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Meeting new friends, chewing all types of gullet sticks, antlers, kong, filled bones, treats and surgically removing squeakers from stuffies between naps.   MEDICAL ISSUES : NONE. Up to date on all vaccines.  Neutered, rear deux claws removed. Max has been exposed to all types of proteins with no issues. Like most dogs, consistent food keep his tummy happy.  He eats 2x per day. He is not a picky eater.  WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : He would be best around his people and another dog. He has manners and is a gentleman but still needs some structure and guidance. He is still a puppy but a mature one. He would love to be active and have a job to do. Boredom is his nemesis. He enjoys a schedule and his naps. He loves riding In the car so would be a fabulous travel companion. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS : Max just had a first visit to the groomer and did well. Not a fan of the noises of the dryer or the cremel on his nails but, he would get used to it with more experience. He is shedding a bit now in the spring but has not been a big shedder like his Pyrenees momma. His DNA Test came back with 53% Pyrenees from his pure bred momma as well as chow, lab, and lots of others mixed in.   Click here to watch a video of Cottontail (Max).Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

I got snowball from a farmer when he was just a pup. He turned 3 years old August 14th. He needs more space, and a family that has more time to spend with him. He’s an amazing dog. Really good with children and other dogs. He absolutely dislikes car rides. Very protective. He’s a really relaxed calm dog.

VERY URGENT! My wife and I rescued Bear a couple years ago. He was stranded near a desert road in New Mexico. He was severely skinny with fleas, ticks, and worms! We got him better and took him in as ours. We can no longer keep him because we are moving to NYC and cant provide what he needs to be happy like space and time. Bear is 4.5 years old, Very energetic but loves a good nap. Loves long walks and mental stimulation like chew toys or lick mats etc.He loves to be near people and he gives the best hugs! Ideally we are looking for someone with a fenced in backyard, time on their hands and other dogs. But of course if Bear is a good fit for you, none of those are dealbreakers. Bear tends to get anxious when left alone for longer than 2.5 hours but does better when there are others dogs in the space and access to an outdoor area! He does so good with other dogs. Bear is such a good boy and we want so badly for him to be placed in the right home. Thank you so much!
