Story
Meet Bastian: Your New Best Friend in the Making! Bastian is a darling love bug with a big heart and an even bigger supply of tail wags. This sweet boy seems to believe that everyone he meets is a future friend—people, dogs, and anyone willing to offer a little attention. During outings to PetSmart and Lowe’s, he handled the busy environments beautifully, happily greeting new faces with warmth, confidence, and plenty of affection. Bastian is still learning his leash manners and may pull a bit, but he responds well to gentle correction and is eager to do the right thing. He did not bark or whine during his outings, and while he is still getting used to new surroundings, he does not seem easily rattled. If something surprises him, he may give a small hop—but then he comes right back looking for reassurance and love. One of Bastian’s most endearing moments came when he climbed into his handler's lap, settled in, and peacefully fell asleep. He is affectionate without hesitation and seems to take comfort in being close to his people. Based on what has been observed so far, Bastian may do well with dog-friendly cats and children, especially with proper introductions and a family ready to help him continue building confidence. If you are looking for a loving companion who is ready to explore the world by your side, greet life with a wagging tail, and curl up for a cozy nap when the adventure is done, Bastian may be the perfect match. This gentle, affectionate boy is ready for a forever home where he can be cherished, guided, and loved the way he deserves. HART Homepage: https://hart90.org/ Questions About this Animal?

Story
Zoey is a gentle, sweet girl who just wants to snuggle with her people all day. Recently arrived from North Carolina, she is about 2 years old and 50 #. A marvelous mix of cocker spaniel/poodle/shepard and more, her curly coat and floppy ears are so soft! She is housebroken and crate trained, but still has some puppy energy if it's playtime. When meeting other dogs and people, she is timid at first. Once she is sure people and dogs are friendly, she is happy to greet everyone with kisses and wags. Zoey plays well with other dogs, matching their energy and play style. She'll be happy to wrestle or to hang out quietly together. Zoey knows basic commands and will retrieve and drop a ball (most of the time). HART Homepage: https://hart90.org/ Questions About this Animal?

Story
Meet MJ (“Max”)! Max is a handsome 1-year-old Border Collie mix with brains, energy, and a whole lot of love to give! This smart boy is neutered, crate trained, house trained, and eager to learn. He already knows sit, lay down, wait, and stay, and he’s currently mastering spin and place. Max absolutely loves people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He’s happiest when he has room to run, play, and frolic in the yard—sometimes with a few excited barks to let everyone know he’s having the best day ever! Because of his herding breed mix and active nature, Max would thrive with an active family and a securely fenced yard where he can safely burn off energy and enjoy outdoor adventures. While Max adores dogs and humans alike, a home without cats is best for him. This young boy is looking for a family that will continue his training, keep his mind busy, and give him the love and exercise he craves. In return, Max will reward you with loyalty, fun, and endless affection. Could Max be the perfect addition to your family?
