Story
This is incredibly hard for us, but we are looking for the right home for our dog, Dakota. ❤️ We have had her for 6 years, and she has been a wonderful dog and best friend. Unfortunately, because of our work schedules, she isn't getting the time and attention she deserves, and we love her enough to recognize that. Dakota is very loving, smart, playful, and loves to cuddle. She is good with cats and older kids but has not been around babies. She needs a calm, quieter home and would not do well in a noisy or chaotic environment. She pulls on the leash but is smart and can be retrained. She should be the only dog, as she has never been properly socialized with other dogs. Most importantly, please be patient with her. After 6 years with the same family, she will need time to adjust and learn to trust her new home. We want someone who will love her, play with her, cuddle her, and give her the time she deserves. ❤️🐾

Story
🐾 Meet Poncho! 🐾 This sweet pup came to our rescue as a stray, and we believe he may be a Border Collie/Lab mix. He’s approximately 6 months old and is one fun, energetic boy! He is up to date on his vaccines and will be neutered soon. He has a medium to high energy level and absolutely LOVES his ball! 🎾 He would make a wonderful companion for an active person or family who enjoys playing, walking, and keeping a young dog busy. He loves taking walks and does very well on a leash. Because he is still very much a puppy, his new family will need to be patient and consistent with him as he continues learning the basics. He’ll need someone willing to work with him on housetraining and Training 101—basic commands, manners, leash skills, and learning what is expected of him. He’s smart, young, and ready to learn! If you're looking for a fun-loving puppy who will keep you entertained and give you plenty of love in return, this boy might be your perfect match! ❤️🐾. Please message us if you are interested in adoption and we will send an adoption form for you to get the adoption process started! 💲 Adoption Fee: $450 Your puppy's adoption fee includes: 🐶 Spay/neuter 💉 Age-appropriate vaccinations 🪱 Deworming ❤️ Current heartworm and flea prevention 📍 Microchip 🚚 Transportation to you via Rescue Riders Pet Transport!

Story
Jax is a handsome 2-year-old Border Collie mix who`s ready to find an active family to call his own! Like many dogs of his breed, Jax is full of energy and thrives when he has plenty of opportunities to stay both physically and mentally engaged. Shelter life has been a bit stressful for him, so he`s hoping to find a home where he can finally relax and shine. Jax can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but don`t let that fool you. Simply bring out a toy, and you`ll have a best friend for life! He loves spending time outdoors, whether it`s going for long walks, exploring new places, or simply enjoying the fresh air. His ideal home will be one that can provide daily exercise, enrichment activities, and positive, reward-based training to help him build confidence and be the best companion he can be. Jax is open to meeting other pets and kids 12 and older who can respect his space as he settles in. If you`re looking for an adventurous, playful partner who`s ready to join you on all of life`s outdoor adventures, Jax might just be the dog for you!If you are interested in adopting, please visit Women`s Animal Center to fill out an application in person.

Story
Eddie is a 26 lb loving, people-oriented dog who enjoys being around his humans and is always eager to please. He knows basic commands including sit, lay down, stay, and focus, and he is very treat-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. He is fully house trained and has never had an accident inside the house. He typically waits until 7 am before needing to go out.Eddie has a lot of energy and needs an active home where he has an outlet for that energy. He would ideally have another energetic, playful dog in the home to keep him company and play with, or a home where he can have a “job,” such as herding or another activity that gives him a purpose and helps him burn energy.Eddie would do best in a cat-free home. He is extremely fearful of cats and does not feel comfortable around them. We are looking for a loving, patient, active home where Eddie can continue to learn, play, and be part of the family. He has so much love to give and deserves a home where he can truly thrive.

Story
Jack is a very handsome and smart boy. He has a lot of energy as he’s a herding breed less than a year old. He would do really well in a single dog household with no other cats or children until he hones in on his skills. He likes other dogs a bunch but he needs one on one attention for a while before having any siblings. He would do well as a farm dog to protect livestock or to be someone’s working shadow as he’s intensely smart and loyal. I found Jack dumped in 115 degree heat outside of a remote gas station in Arizona. At the time he was around 10 months old. I made it my mission to be a good foster parent while we found him a good home but because of his high energy the other dogs we have do not like him making our job very difficult. In the time we’ve had him we’ve gotten him neutered, all of his shots and an unregistered microchip, as well as his dna test to better understand his needs. The adoption fee goes towards these things.

She could potentially be a great dog for someone home alone often and would like a dog that wants to be attached at the hip.
