Meet Todd Todd is a 8-month-old Border Collie mix with the sweetest personality and a fun, playful spirit. He's expected to stay on the smaller side, around 40 lbs full grown, making him a great medium-sized companion.This smart boy is quick to learn and loves to make his people smile with his goofy, funny personality. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he warms up, he's incredibly affectionate and loyal.Todd is doing wonderfully with house training and crate training, and he's already showing how eager he is to learn.He does great with kids and other dogs, but will need a feline-free home as he may chase cats. Todd is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home.

Story
Meet Penny 🩷 We're not sure what breed mix Penny is, but whatever it is, she's adorable!. She has the sweet, reserved nature of a smart dog who is very observant of everything around her. While her sister is out meeting everybody, Penny is sizing up the situation. Once she decides you're OK, she's your sweetest little fan. Penny was born in December 2025, and though it took her a bit to recover ftom being abandoned on a dirt road in freezing temperatures, she has blossomed into a well-behaved little thing. She likes other dogs, is not a jumper, and she sits by her crate waiting until the food is put down before she goes in to eat. Penny is the epitome of the well-behaved dog. She's calm, quiet, affectionate but not needy, and will let you love on her but won't pester you. She waits patiently for food and is not food aggressive. Penny loves chasing balls and chewing on sticks, and still has the lanky goofiness of a puppy. She was born in November 2025. She's the best girl and we will be so happy when she finds the best home. Penny is spayed, up to date on shots, and on heartworm preventative. She is ready to go!

Story
We adopted him as a rescue dog when he was younger and were told he is a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, although this has not been confirmed. He is now 3.5 years old and is incredibly sweet, loving, playful, energetic, affectionate, and loyal. He has lots of love to give and enjoys being active and playing, but he can also be anxious. We are looking for a loving, patient home that can provide him with plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation. Because of his energy level and anxiety, we feel he would do best in a home without young children and preferably without other pets. We want to find a home that is a better fit for his needs, where he can feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

Story
Say hello to Jax! Jax is a handsome man and he'd love a place to call his own. Jax is suspected to be a cattle dog mix, but he's only about 35 lbs - a pocket heeler! He is anxious and a little nervous around new people and would likely do best in a quiet home with some time to decompress and show you his true personality. Jax is an energetic dog and he thrives off of daily walks, play, and enrichment to keep him happy. He has previously lived with other dogs, even dogs several times his own size, and done well with them. Jax has no experience with cats and would benefit from a slow introduction to ensure the safety and comfort of all animals. Jax is in our special adoption program which helps set up adopters and their new dog for success with pre and post adoption counseling. If you are interested in him, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and email cshamgochian@parl.org for more information or to schedule a meet and greet.
