Story
Otto has a big personality, a sharp mind, and endless enthusiasm for life. He’s an incredibly smart dog who loves to stay busy, whether he’s sniffing every inch of the yard, exploring his surroundings, or investigating whatever catches his attention. Curious is definitely one of his defining traits! Otto is as sweet as they come and loves being around people and other dogs. In fact, he would thrive in a home with another playful canine companion. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys having friends to romp around with. Like any young puppy, Otto is still learning his manners. He’s working on boundaries, including not jumping up and keeping his puppy nipping in check. With consistency, positive reinforcement, and plenty of exercise, he’s going to make an incredible companion. Because Otto has a strong herding instinct, we think he’d do best in a home without young children. We recommend a family with kids 8 years and older who can help reinforce his training and understand his energetic puppy behavior. Otto is looking for an active home that will embrace his intelligence, keep him mentally and physically engaged, and continue helping him grow into the amazing dog he’s already proving to be. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and adventurous best friend, Otto just might be your perfect match.

Story
We rescued Dottie when she was about 4 months old from a less than ideal situation . She had some anxiety but we worked on it and were diligent with training and enrichment opportunities. Dottie is a wonderful girl, she is about 2.5years old and is well trained. She has done agility and obedience training as well as some scent work. She loves to run next to a bike and loves trails and people. She tolerates other dogs and does not go out of her way to meet them, she would do best in a single dog house though she does have some good doggie friends she loves to see. While she is an active girl she doesn’t love the heat and she is happy hanging out at home. We have a new baby and a new cancer diagnosis and the last 9months have been rough for her, she is afraid of the baby and with everything going on she is just not getting enough of anything from us. I worry for our baby as he grows and I worry for her quality of life. With the right person she could shine

Story
Name: Carmella Breed: Border Collie Sex: Female Age: 3.5 yrs Weight: 45 lbs Energetic, Talented, Driven - Would Love To Herd and Work! Beautiful Carmella has some behavioral needs, and she's available for adoption or through a foster-to-adopt arrangement. Good with dogs? Carmella will need a slow introduction to other dogs. Good with cats? No Good with kids? Not Tested in foster care. Based on her behavior with meeting new people we would recommend she go to a kid free home. Energy level: High. Carmella is a driven Border Collie with a strong need for mental stimulation. She would thrive in a home where she has a job to do—bonus points if her adopter is interested in helping her learn how to herd! She is very intelligent and completed an official herding dog training program. With her high energy and working-dog instincts, Carmella would love nothing more than a purpose-filled life where she can stay active and engaged. Animal Characteristics: Carmella is a beautiful, sensitive soul searching for someone special to help her shine. This shy girl hasn’t had the easiest start, and she’s still learning to trust the world around her. When meeting new people, Carmella can be fearful— but with patience, structure, and love, she begins to open up. Her ideal home will be with an experienced, compassionate adopter committed to continuing her training and providing slow, gentle introductions to new people and situations. Carmella isn’t the kind of dog who will greet you with tail wags and kisses on day one — but if you give her time and understanding, you’ll earn the love of a truly loyal companion. Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. My adoption fee is $50. You can also contact my friends at PawsCo at adopt@pawscoadoptions.org if you have questions. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi there, my name is Lily! I am a gorgeous young lady with a sweet demeanor. I am social, affectionate, and intelligent.

I look forward to getting out for exercise and adventure, attending training classes, and spending quality time with my humans.

I can be around medium and large dogs and enjoy play time, but as far as a living situation goes, I prefer to be the only animal in the home.

Story
 Meet Nona Some dogs don't need much time to show you what they're made of. Nona is one of those dogs.  This pretty girl is a reddish-brown Australian Cattle Dog mix with a petite 35-pound figure, beautiful eyes, and a personality that makes her very easy to fall for. Nona came to us from the Navajo Reservation after her elderly owner had to move into assisted living. Through no fault of her own, this sweet girl suddenly found herself looking for a new family. Nona is around 2 years old and has that wonderful combination of intelligence, affection and attentiveness that makes Cattle Dogs such special companions. But what really sets Nona apart is just how easy and loving she is. Her foster parents describe her as exactly that—an easy, loving dog.  She is timid when meeting someone new, but warms up quickly. Give her attention, encouragement and a little praise, and you can practically see her light up. She is eager to learn, eager to please and very happy when she knows she's made you proud. Nona loves her walks - she is curious, doesn't bark, lets people walk by her on the sidewalk, and loves to meet dogs, but doesn't insist. She's perfectly content to mind her own business and enjoy the outing with her person. Nona also doesn't need another dog in her home, but after two weeks, her foster parents are realizing she wouldn't mind! She is comfortable around other dogs and currently lives with a middle-aged male Lab. She is still learning to play both with her people and other dogs and toys but is coming along quickly on all those fronts.  She's most interested in her people and would be perfectly happy being your one-and-only pup.  At home, Nona is proving that she's ready for the good life.She is house trained in her current routine, with only two potty accidents on her very first day. She is also so well behaved that when her foster mom is away, Nona's favorite place to nap is right on the bed. And yes, she's earned that privilege! Pretty good on a leash – no barking and just a little critter chasing Comfortable with other dogs but doesn't need a canine companion House trained in her current routine Smart, attentive and eager to learn Very affectionate and quick to bond A perfect, manageable 35 pounds Well behaved enough to earn bed privileges! If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily walk beside you, curl up with you and make you feel like the most important person in the world, Nona would love to meet you. If you would like to adopt, please complete an adoption application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/   Adoption Fee: $250, which includes:  Spay  Age-appropriate vaccinations  Deworming  Microchip ##2819823##

Story
Meet Turk — Some dogs wait for someone to rescue them. Turk took matters into his own paws. This sweet boy started following some kids home from school every day until, well...they couldn't resist bringing him home! They cared for him for a month, but because their rental doesn't allow pets, they made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him so he could find the forever family he deserves. At just 9 months old and 50 pounds, Turk is everything you could want in a puppy—happy, friendly, curious, and always ready to make a new friend. Whether it's kids, other dogs, or even cats, Turk's attitude is basically, "Hi! Want to be friends?" He's already off to a fantastic start! Turk is: Neutered Leash trained Kennel trained House trained Turk is on seizure medication. Very manageable! He takes a pill in the morning and evening. (60mg phenobarbital) This small thing for Turk is very manageable and he’s not gonna let it stop him from finding himself a family! $15 – $25 for a 60-tablet supply (two pills a day for 30 days). Turk loves being part of whatever his people are doing. He will happily join you for an adventure, a backyard game, or a lazy evening on the couch after a day of fun. If you're looking for a puppy with a heart as big as his smile, Turk is ready to follow you home...this time forever. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/. The $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip. ##2781301##

Meet Rocky — Smart, Loyal & Just the Right Amount of Goofy!  Rocky has all the things people love about Cattle Dogs: smart, loyal, devoted and happiest when he's included in whatever his people are doing. Basically, if you're going somewhere, Rocky's thinking, “Great. I'm coming too.” This handsome boy currently lives with two large dogs—a male Hound and a female Cattle Dog—and does wonderfully with both. He loves having canine friends and is always up for a good wrestle or romp when the mood strikes. But Rocky isn't one of those dogs who believes every day needs to be an Olympic sporting event. He's moderate energy and perfectly happy to play, hang out or simply keep an eye on what's happening. Rocky is not particularly demanding about his social calendar. He's also doing a great job with all the important grown-up stuff: House trained with frequent breaks and access to a dog door Doing very well on leash and enjoys daily walks with his foster siblings Sleeps happily on a dog bed at night Very devoted to his people Happy to play or simply hang out Does well free-roaming in the house for a few hours His foster family has discovered that Rocky does just fine without a crate for short periods, provided the usual tempting contraband—shoes, snacks and other things that mysteriously become fascinating when humans aren't looking—is kept out of reach. And there is one small disclaimer: Rocky has excellent squirrel and rabbit detection skills. When one makes an appearance, his leash manners may temporarily be replaced by his inner Cattle Dog shouting, “WE HAVE A SITUATION!” Otherwise, Rocky is a terrific walking buddy and is happy to accompany you on a hike, stroll around the neighborhood, visit the dog park or spend the evening doing absolutely nothing on the couch. Rocky is a smart, loyal, affectionate guy looking for a family who will include him in life's good stuff—and give him a cozy place to crash when all that excitement is over. Interested in adopting Rocky? https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/   Adoption Fee: $250 — includes spay, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming and microchip. ##2807926##
