Story
Great puppy, needs more space than our home can offer. He needs space to run free. He is energetic and athletic. He is crate trained and great on walks. He loves fetch and his house trained. He knows sit, come, leave it and can catch. He definitely gets the zoomies, but he is playful, sweet and good natured. He plays with our older dog well. He is good with our kids. He needs more yard space than we can give. He goes to dog parks and doggie day care often and is well liked. He is loves to chew, and loves the Bark Box super chewer toys. He is up to date on vaccines. He’s s neutered and microchipped. He is 18 months old.

Story
Meet adoptable BENTLEY!!  Bentley is a 4 month old border collie mix and is currently in a foster home quickly learning how to be part of a family.  Bentley is one of a litter of 6 puppies raised at CompAnimals shelter.  Four of Bentleys siblings have been adopted and are doing well in their new homes! Now it’s Bentley‘s turn! Bentley has learned so much during his 3 weeks at his foster home!  When he arrived everything was new and scary to him.  He is now a confident boy and is crate trained (voluntarily goes in his crate for bedtime or naps with no messes), walks nicely on a leash, knows basic commands (sit, stay, no barking, no jumping), is great with kids, people and other dogs.  He also loves to hike and is learning to fetch a ball.  Bentley is housebroken and will stand by the door to go out.  Overall Bentley is a friendly and easy going puppy who loves to play and snuggle. A great family Dog! We do ask that Adopters of puppies under 12 months of age attend a positive reinforcement basic obedience class. Apply at www.companimals.org. Adoption $350 includes age-appropriate neuter at our vet partner (Or $100 back if you prefer using your own Vet). We recommend neuter at 12 months.July 6, 2026, 11:17 am

Story
ENZO FERRARI is one of Maserati’s six puppies. MAZI is a sweet girl, a good mama and loves everybody, even strangers! We’re hoping the puppies take on her personality. Dad was a traveling salesman – most likely of the hound of variety. Attaching a copy of the DNA results to this listing. The highest percentage of their heritage is of the herding breeds so we’re looking for active, dog oriented homes. Enzo is a rough and tumble guy, often on the top of the play pile! He is easy to spot because he’s the only one with two black front feet. Adoption fee of $350 will cover a eventual spay/Neuter when they are old enough. Vets are now recommending after the first heat for girls snd after the growth plates close for the boys - This helps prevent some health problems as they mature. The puppies have received their deworming and will have their first vaccine And are totally weaned from mom. They turned eight weeks old on Easter day and are available now. We do ask that Adopters of puppies under 12 months of age attend a basic obedience class with them. We find that this results in a more confident, settled pup and reduces returns down the road. We can recommend a group class with a positive reinforcement trainer. If you feel like your family is up to puppyhood, please fill out an application at www.companimals.org. July 6, 2026, 11:17 am

Story
Christine Risley 1:34 PM (2 minutes ago) to me Meet Oreo! My name is Oreo. I bet you don't know why. I'll give you a hint. It's because I'm so sweet. My foster mom thinks I am a Border Collie Bully mix. I am about 8 months old, and I am still learning my manners. I love to run and play with my foster siblings, but I can get too excited and start nipping at them sometimes but it’s my herding instinct and my foster mom is working on correcting me. It’s not aggressive just puppy love! I love to play with toys and chew on bones. My favorite toys are the ones I can pull the cream filling out of. I also love playing with the giant sized Jolly Ball outside My foster mom says I'm very smart and I learn quickly when I am motivated to do so. I love treats so I listen very well if there is some sort of food involved. I have learned how to sit, lay down, leave it, and I am working on learning how to shake. I am crate trained but I have figured out how to get the crate door open, so my foster mom has to put clips on the latch to keep me from opening the door. When I initially met my foster dad, I was scared of him, and I would bark at him every time I saw him . However, when he came closer, I would get quiet and enjoy the attention he would give me.. Something in my past may have caused me to fear men but with continued reassurance I should grow out of the initial fear. My foster mom has an eight-year-old little girl and while she can get on my nerves at times, I am very happy to play with her. I would love to find my forever family and show everyone just how sweet I can be! Oreo is a spirited pup who would love a playful doggie sibling and a fenced yard in my forever home. ❤️❤️❤️ If interested please contact Christine at christine@therescueexpress.org Sent from my iPhone

Story
Ashur has social and separation anxiety and allergies. He needs and deserves attention that I am not able to provide him. He has a lot of energy and loves to play. He needs a human that has a lot of patience and will love him unconditionally. He will surely return the favor. He loves to cuddle. While Ashur may not do well with strangers, once he is familiar with you (doesn't take long) he is a very loving, attached, cuddly 6 year old dog. 🥰I cannot give him what he needs and can't do this anymore. He is bored and lonely majority of the day being home alone for a minimum of 12 hours daily. I also learned the hard way that I am allergic to dogs. I will have to put him to sleep soon if I am unable to find Ashur a new home because I cannot find a shelter that will take him. Please help. He needs a new home as soon as possible.
