Story
Greetings, my name is Garth! I'm a 3-year-old male border collie mix. I am current on my vaccines, heartworm tested, neutered, and microchipped. 3 words that describe me: Sweetheart, Smart, Playful Things staff and volunteers have to say about me: I'm a loving guy who greets the world with a smile! I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but it doesn't take me too long to warm up to them. I'm super playful and love toys of all kinds, though I seem to favor balls. With that being said I am a hard chewer so I will need some strong toys! Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 6 or 7/10 Housetraining Status: I have been good at keeping my kennel clean, although it may take me some time to adjust to a new schedule. I should do well in a home: I will need to meet any dogs in my potential home before adoption. I should do well with children of all ages given proper supervision. My friends at CRHS are unsure how I'd do with cats. My favorite activities are: Playing with toys!!!! I love cuddling my humans and getting affection from them as well. Things I need work on are: I could use a little more work with my basic commands and leash walking. Any special needs: N/A Doggy day out notes: "Garth was the best boy today. He is so friendly and nice, super calm and does not bark. He also LOVED his pup cup! he loves to snuggle and give lots of kisses, he is amazing! I did not want to bring him back but I really hope he gets adopted soon :)" "Garth was great. He is really smart. He knows sit, down, touch, and even can catch a treat in mid-air. He did great on leash and did pull a bit but not terrible to where you can't redirect him. He loves to check in when walking as well and can be able to tell to slow down if needed. He does like using his nose and is kind of food motivated. And he is a snuggle-bug, where he'll sit by your side and lean into you." "Garth is truly a special little guy! He needs to build some confidence and is definitely a little nervous at times, but he warms up to people really quick and is super affectionate and becomes very mellow when he gets pets and belly scratches. He is very smart and highly trainable! Was almost 100% with Sit and lay down and we started practicing “look at me!” on walks which he was very receptive to and by the end of the day he would look at me to check in whenever a new person entered. He does need a bit of leash training but was pulling less by the end of the day. He is playful and has energy but was also very calm and patient just hanging out in my office for a while!" Daycare Status: N/A My adoption fee is: $300 Training Requirement if applicable: N/A *If you are interested in adopting, please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal

Meet Demi 💖 Demi is a cuddly little shadow who just wants to be where her people are. If you’re sitting, she’s curling up in your lap. If there’s a blanket, she’s rolling herself into the tiniest, coziest ball. Personal space? She’s never heard of her. She’s lively, curious, and proudly nosy. Demi loves to follow you around the house just to see what you’re up to and make sure nothing exciting is happening without her. She’s dog, cat, and kid-friendly and truly thrives on human connection. Demi is currently working on house training and crate training, and she’s doing great. She’s quiet and content in her crate and settles in nicely. With a little consistency, she’s going to be such an easy, loving addition to the right home. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate pup who bonds deeply and brings cozy, happy energy wherever she goes, Demi might just be your girl. Demi is fostered in Holmen, WI.

Story
Hi there, I'm Brutus! I'm an 8-year-old male Australian shepherd mix. I am current on my vaccines, and soon to be heartworm tested, neutered, and microchipped. I am a foster-to-adopt candidate. 3 words that describe me: Affectionate, Calm, Smart Things staff and volunteers have to say about me: I was brought to CRHS after being found with my deceased owner. This has understandably been a rough change for me and I've had a hard time transitioning to shelter life. I'm still a little nervous around men but, I'm building my trust. I'm now living in a foster home and LOVING IT!!! My foster mom says that I'm smart, sweet and that I'm the best boy for her 5 year old son. Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 4/10 Housetraining Status: My foster mom says I'm completely housebroken with a routine. I should do well in a home: kiddos of all ages. I am required to meet any and all dogs in the household. In my previous home I did not get along with the cats, so my new home will need to be cat free. Staff at CRHS recommend I be taken into foster-to-adopt before adoption, but it's not required. My favorite activities are: Relaxing in a calm environment, sitting with people I'm comfortable with, and learning new things. Things I need work on are: Confidence building, basic commands Any special needs: N/A Doggy day out notes: N/A Daycare Status: N/A My adoption fee is: $250 Training Requirement if applicable: N/A *If you are interested in adopting, please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal

Story
Hi there, my name is Tigger! I am a 6-year-old neutered male. I am current on my vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped!! 3 words that describe me: Playful, content, loyal. Things Tiggers foster has to say about him: A very low key and easy boy. He gets along great with our dogs and is very respectful of our cats. He bonds very quickly with new people and will be your constant shadow. He would prefer to sleep in bed with his people but has settled for a crate next to the bed. He can be nervous/unsure in new situations and seeks reassurance from his people. Tigger is incredibly affectionate, giving hugs and kisses and he’ll nudge your hand if you’re not providing enough pets. He’s very content to spend all day lounging around when needed which is great since nobody wants to be outside in this weather! Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 6 or 7/10 Housetraining Status: With a consistent routine, my foster mom says I am fully potty trained! I should do well in a home: Due to my timid personality, any children in my potential home will need to be 8 years or older. I am required to meet any and all dogs in the household before adoption. I ignored the cats in my previous home. My favorite activities are: Going for walks, playing fetch, and cuddling! Things I need work on are: My foster says I'm already pretty perfect but, I am a smart guy and could always learn new tricks! Any special needs: N/A Doggy day out notes: "Tigger did super on his DD outing! He loved being out and exploring the great outdoors! He is a bit shy but once he warms up to you, which is quick, your his favorite person and loves your company! I have no doubt that he will thrive in a home setting. Love this boy💙" "Tigger did amazing on his DD outing! This was his 2nd outing with me and was more comfortable being out and around me. Tigger likes calm, quiet environments and going to places with very little activity. He is alot of fun getting to know and he I would love to see him out on more outings with other volunteers. That would be good for him💙" " Tigger did amazing on his DD outing! Such a sweet, mellow boy. He loved to be back at the house just lounging & napping but when it was time for a walk he was excited! He loves being out on walks! Tigger likes quiet, calm places to hang out at with little to no activity so he thoroughly enjoyed time spent at the house. Tigger is a bit shy but once he warms up to you he loves being near you enjoying your company. Love this little guy and he will make a very nice addition to a home💙" My adoption fee is: $300 *If you are interested in adopting, please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal
