Brewer is a previous ARF dog who is losing his home due to his owner moving to a place that does not allow dogs. His family says he is a great dog who loves to nap in his bed or on the couch.

Brewer is a smart guy and knows commands like “sit”, “stay”, “down”, and “place”.  He is housetrained, crate trained and has free roam of his home when the humans are away. Brewer is great at a game of catch and currently enjoys 1-2 short walks a day. This big distinguished older boy is a sweety and will be so appreciative of a new place to call home!

Story
I’m Bruce. Goofy, Hungry, and Ready to Be Your Best Decision.I'm currently in California. My bags are packed, I’m ready to travel to my new home. Where are you? Are you my new family? I’ll travel to you! I’m the kind of dog who makes you laugh without trying. Big smile. Silly energy. A little clumsy in the best way. I’ve got that Boxer vibe in me, or at least that goofy charm that makes people say it. I’m friendly. I’m sweet. I like people. I’m the dog who walks into a room like we’re already friends. Let’s get one thing out of the way. I love food. A lot. Meals, treats, snacks, crumbs. If it’s edible, I’m interested. It makes training easy though. You’ve got snacks, I’ve got focus. I’m a strong boy too. Not out of control, just solid. I need someone who’s comfortable handling a dog with some muscle. I’ll do great with structure, guidance, and regular exercise. My skin looks pretty good now, but I may have had some irritation in the past, maybe fleas or something that needed time to heal. It’s not slowing me down. I just might need someone who keeps an eye on it and stays on top of care. I don’t come with a list of issues. I come with personality. I come with love. I come with a goofy face that makes bad days better. I’m Bruce.Bring the snacks. I’ll bring the fun. ##2650784##

Story
People see my face and think I’m tough. And okay, sure. I do look like I could front a biker gang made entirely of puppies. But the truth? I’m basically a marshmallow with muscles. I’m Huckleberry. Three months old. Boxer-pittie mix. Tough-looking little sweetheart. I like to wrestle. I like to tumble around with the other puppies. I puff myself up like I’m very intimidating. Then five minutes later I’m melting into cuddles and looking at people with my soft baby eyes. My foster family says I’ve got this funny mix of “don’t mess with me” and “please hold me.” Pretty accurate honestly. My mom Maggie survived long enough for rescuers to find her before she had all nine of us puppies. Because of that, I got a chance at a real puppyhood. One with toys and couches and people who kiss my forehead instead of walking past me. I’m good with kids. Good with dogs. Strong little guy with a very sweet heart. Basically the emotional support linebacker of the litter. ##2697995##

Story
I’m not rude. I’m cautious. There’s a difference. Everybody else comes barreling through life like they’ve never had a bad day. Me? I like to think things through first. I watch. I study people. I make sure you’re safe before I hand over my tiny little boxer-pittie heart. But once you’re in?Oh, I’m IN. Then I’m following you around. Sitting by your feet. Sneaking little kisses when nobody’s looking. Acting like I never doubted you for a second. I’m 3 months old and part of Maggie’s miracle crew. Our mom was rescued pregnant and exhausted, carrying nine puppies and hoping somebody would help her. Lucky for us, somebody did. Now I’m learning how to be a puppy instead of a survival story. I really love the big dogs in my foster home. I think they’re fascinating. I trail after them like a tiny intern trying to learn the ropes. I’m friendly with everybody once I settle in, but I’m not the cannonball puppy of the group. I’ve got a softer, thoughtful side. Good with kids. Good with dogs. Sweet once you earn me. I’m Strawberry.A little guarded.A little sensitive.A really good girl. ##2698001##

Story
You know those quiet kids in school who sat in the back and secretly had the sweetest hearts? That’s me. I’m Honeyberry. Tiny boxer-pittie mix. Three months old. Professional observer of human nonsense. I take longer to warm up than my siblings. New people make me nervous at first. Loud things? Weird things? Fast hands? Yeah, I’d rather not. But if you give me patience instead of pressure, something really nice happens. I start to trust you. Then suddenly I’m leaning into your hand for pets. Following you room to room. Looking at you like maybe the world isn’t such a scary place after all. My mom Maggie got lucky. Somebody saved her before she had all nine of us puppies out in the world alone. So now I’m learning what safety feels like instead of struggling to survive. I’m good with dogs. Good with kids. I just need people who understand that softer souls sometimes bloom slower. And honestly?Those are usually the best dogs. ##2698003##

Story
If you throw a ball, I will dedicate my entire life to you. That’s not dramatic. That’s just facts. I’m Blackberry. Three months old. Boxer-pittie mix. Tiny athlete with endless energy. I LOVE to play. Like… deeply committed to the cause. Ball? Amazing. Tug toy? Incredible. Random object I probably shouldn’t have? Also incredible. I want to engage with everybody and everything all the time. Humans. Dogs. Kids. Life itself. My foster family says I wake up every day like I just drank six espressos and got accepted into my dream college. Fair. But I’m also really social and loving. I want to be where the fun is. I want to be part of the family. I want someone to throw the ball one more time even after they already said “last one.” My mom Maggie got rescued carrying nine puppies, and now all of us get this shot at a completely different life. I plan to spend mine at maximum speed. ##2697994##
