He craves positive attention and affection. He has a medium energy level with bursts of higher energy. His ideal home would be a patient one to allow him to learn to trust humans at his own pace.Audie enjoys being in a home with other happy dogs but slow intros with new dogs help him gain confidence. He loves stuffed squeaky toys, deer antlers and chews, and especially regular meals and a clean crate to call his safe space. Audie would be good with older, dog savvy kids since he can be shy at first and prefers a calmer environment. He has seen outdoor cats and showed no interest, so would likely coexist with a feline sibling.Audie is both crate and house trained and is used to being in his crate when home alone. He walks well on a leash in familiar surroundings, but might hang back in new places.Audie has come a long way since leaving shelter life behind him. He would love a new family to make him feel safe and he will give so much love in return!

Story
Domino is an extremely sweet and cuddly dog. He is house and crate trained, and loves learning new tricks. Energetic, but also loves a nap. We adopted him 3 years ago from a rescue organization. He was a bit of a shy boy and took a bit to warm up to us, but he became incredibly sweet with our 6 year old kelpie/cattle dog and is very sweet with our 1st baby, now 16 months old. We also had a 20 year old cat when we first got him and he was great with her. He does need extra attention on walks and with new people and other dogs. It takes some extra care and time for him to warm up to new people and it seems to be a bit of protectiveness. We love Domino so much, but we have become too busy to really give him the extra care he needs as we grow our family. He needs either a big yard or someone with the time to take him on longer walks/runs and he will need continued training attention with new people and dogs. That said, he will give you all the love back.

Story
Meet Miloh! His favorite things are walks with dog friends,treats, curling up on comfy bedding, and pets once he warms up. Miloh is ahappy, bouncy, and super wiggly pup, looking for a family to bring endlessjoy! Miloh enjoys a good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settlein at the end of the day. Miloh has enjoyed spending time around othermellow dogs at the shelter, so we think they may do well with a caninesibling that is comfortable with a more calm friend. Miloh has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentlestart, but once they feel secure, theyll reward you with endless loveand loyalty!

He requires a lot of attention, he’s very smart. I’ve taught him some tricks. He’s good with the right trainer to teach him to be good with other dogs. I prefer him to be the only dog in home, previous owner told me that he was good with all other pets.

She is a medium energy gal who loves running laps with her dog friends, squeaking toys around the room, and chewing on a good bone before doing it all over again. She would thrive in a playful, active home ready to continue her training.Monica is submissive and easy with other dogs and has played with multiple dogs without any issues, even with toys present. She would love a playful canine companion to call her best friend. Her high energy may be a lot for a cat, so a cat-free home would be the best fit.

She is fully crate trained and has been accident free even during longer stretches between potty breaks. She is working on her house training and picks things up quickly with consistency and routine. She walks well on leash and will continue to thrive with guidance.This stunning, fun-loving girl has so much love to give and is ready to pour it all into her forever family.
