Story
Hola hoomans! My name is Lady, and thank you so much for stopping by to check out my page. So I guess that means you want to know a little bit about me? Well, here is what I got! I have heard from team members that I am a happy and energetic dog, and pretty much know all the basic and important rules of being a good dog. Ruff! I love chasing my tail (OMG it's so cool), I love stuffed toys and bones, and am really a sweet and loving gal. And I really love running around, being happy and playing with other dogs! Ruff! Now, sometimes I will admit I do get a little shy and nervous, but just be patient and within no time, we will be the best of pals. Oh, and did I mention I like cats!? And I'd love to meet a kid or two. Anyway, I will quit my yapping so you can come meet me in person! Wags and Kisses!

Meet Chica B!Personality: Zoomy Love NuggetLikes: Zooming, Snacks, Turning your lap into her home baseChica B is an outgoing, lively little superstar who’s always ready for her next adventure. In the play yard, she absolutely thrives—sniffing every interesting smell, running enthusiastic laps, and proudly showing off her natural athleticism.

But don’t be fooled by her zoomies—once she gets her energy out, Chica B becomes a full-on cuddle bug. Her favorite cool-down routine? Crawling right into your lap like she’s 10 pounds lighter and made entirely of love. She already knows sit, is super motivated by treats, and seems genuinely curious about other dogs. Above all, she’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and ready to bond hard with her person.Take Chica B home and enjoy the perfect mix of lively fun and heart-melting cuddles!

Story
Maggie is a 9-month-old border collie mix. She is a sweet puppy—very smart and easily trainable. Maggie is both crate-trained and house-trained. She has mastered the "sit" command and is currently working on "stay" and "come." She walks on a leash, although she still exhibits some typical puppy behaviors, such as pulling and occasionally tugging on the leash. Maggie enjoys playing fetch with a tennis ball and loves to chase after a soft Frisbee. She has undergone a complete veterinary check-up, is fully vaccinated, and is on heartworm prevention medication. However, she does not seem to get along with cats, which is the reason for her rehoming. Although she has had limited interactions with other dogs, her few encounters have gone well after a bit of barking and playful behavior. If you're interested in meeting Maggie, come to our adoption event on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month from 11am-2pm, located at 6300 San Mateo NE in the south Sprouts parking lot. Alternatively, we can arrange a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household with a completed application. Complete an easy, no-obligation online application and take the first step towards welcoming Maggie into your home by clicking on this link https://form.jotform.com/222028369049155 The $250 adoption fee covers all vaccines, spay, microchip, and heartworm/tick-borne illness testing.

Story
Meet Zeus – 90% Ears, 10% Dog, 100% ZoomiZeus is a 1-year-old male Border Collie mix whose ears arrive in the room before the rest of him. Seriously—those things have their own zip code. Along with the ears comes a whole lot of energy, enthusiasm, and playful chaos in the very best way. This guy lives for balls, toys, and zoomies, and he’s always ready to turn any yard into his personal racetrack. Zeus is smart and eager to please, knowing sit, down, stay, and come, and he’s gentle taking treats (even when he’s excited). He’s friendly, affectionate, and loves being part of the action.With other dogs, Zeus can be a bit forward, so a meet and greet is recommended to make sure everyone’s vibes line up. His previous owner reported that he is crate trained, rides well in the car, and may pull some on leash—nothing unexpected for a young, energetic herding mix who’s ready to learn. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, big-eared sidekick who will keep you laughing, moving, and never missing a sound, Zeus is ready to sprint straight into your heart.

Story
Hi friends, I'm Shiloh. I'm a handsome, smart guy who loves staying busy. Running around, playing with toys and figuring out dog puzzles are some of my favorite things. If you’ve got a yard with the occasional lizard … well, let’s just say I’m happy to help keep an eye on it. I know a couple of tricks like sit and shake, and I’m always up for learning more. I have experience living in a home with kiddos, and I got a gold star for my behavior. I can entertain myself when you need to go away for a while, and then I love to play when you get back. I was well-behaved with the young humans I lived with ... and if you ever need a little help rounding them up, I’m happy to lend my professional herding skills. New people and places can make me a little unsure at first, so I may take a minute to warm up. But once I know you’re a friend, I’m very loyal and loving. I’d love a home that will help me keep building confidence, meeting new friends and staying active. If you're looking for a smart, devoted sidekick, I'm your guy. I can't wait to meet you!

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Where have you “Bean” all my life! I’m a happy, handsome young lad with a heart as big as my smile. I was house and crate trained in my previous home. When you take me home, please give me a few days to learn the ropes at your house. I get along well with kids (ages 10-18) and dogs. I love walks and playtime. I’m also learning my manners—I sometimes can’t resist a little counter surfing—so I’ll thrive best with a family who can provide some training, patience, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I will most importantly thrive in a home where I can be a cherished companion, get regular exercise, and be part of a family that truly loves me. A team member says, "Bean is a sweet, playful boy. He's always happy to see you and gets the cutest wiggles. He's a smart guy - he picked up on some of the agility equipment in our park immediately, and he can sit at thresholds (doors, gates) on command, sometimes proactively without you asking. He's very treat-motivated and eager to please and seems highly trainable in addition to being a lovebug."

Hi all, I am Burrow! Welcome to my page, so happy you've stopped by! I am just sure you are dying to know some things about me, right? Obviously that is why you are here! Well let's see, I am young, full of energy and cautious curiosity at times. But, I really just want to play, cuddle and learn. I have overheard team members mention how "my big droopy eyes" are their weakness. What can I say? I was born this way. Ruff! They've also mentioned how I would be an amazing companion. I am just looking for the right fit. Need I say more? Well then, why don't you come down today and meet me? And please bring the whole family so I can meet everyone. I just can't wait. Ruff!
