Story
Clifford. is located in TEXAS. There are not enough homes for all the unwanted dogs down there, so he is willing to relocate for a good, loving, forever home. Clifford was dumped on the side of a rural road with a litter of puppies. They were rescued by good Samaritans. Clifford is a super wonderful dog. He is very sweet, gentle, and good-natured. He is super sensitive and scared of mean voices, rough treatment, and dogs that are mean to him. He needs to be treated gently so he will trust you. Once he trusts you or another dog, he is very playful and loves playing. He especially loves puppies and gentle children. Clifford has shown an interest in cats, so he may not be good with them. Clifford is mostly Chow. He weighs around 60 pounds and we estimate he may be around 2 years old. Clifford is crate-trained, knows how to sit, and walks well on a leash. He rides well in a vehicle but is a bit nervous about getting inside the vehicle. Clifford is fabulous with nice children. He is shy with new people (especially men) and takes some time to trust. We are sure he was abused by whoever had him before. Clifford does need work with housetraining (sure he has never been in a house before) and could probably use other gentle obedience training. We want Clifford to be in the house as a loved member of the family. He needs to be walked on a leash and would like a securely fenced yard to run and play. Clifford is healthy. He is neutered, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. Clifford has been treated for heartworms and they are now dead. He is on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Clifford's adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport to Vancouver WA. Clifford is being fostered in Texas and cannot be transported until after he is adopted. Please send an email to 2manydogstx@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting this wonderful boy.

Story
*hair blowing in the wind (even though she's indoors)* *unexplained sparkles in the air* *faint heavenly music* Yes, she is me. Chloe. Now that you are blinded by my beauty, let me explain why I am the absolute best girl on the inside too and so deserving of your (and everyone's) undivided adoration. I'm loyal, smart as a whip, and FUN, just to name a few. Unfortunately, I didn't come from the most glamorous beginnings. I was an outdoor doggy with not much interaction from birth and my family also left me behind when they moved. Thus, I wasn't really brought up interacting with you humans or being touched/handled. I've had my quirks while adjusting to being a family dog and will definitely need someone patient and understanding with me. (If you get too touchy right away, I don't like that and will try to protect myself.) However, if you are slow and gain my trust I will HANG on your every move. I have adjusted very quickly in the past with proper introductions to people. Even still, I would probably do best in a home without young children. I'm a lady after all and need time to sniff you out before you get grabby. I am an active girl and love to feel the wind in my hair outdoors too. I run with the speed of light and have a prey drive to sniff out bugs, lizards and more. I also love to play tug of war and fetch with my foster mommy inside. I bounce, bounce, bounce all the time! I am great on leash so walks and hikes would be great for me. Getting my energy out will help me focus on training too. I am very smart and learn quickly, but tend to lose interest if I'm still chock full of go, go, go!! With all of this perfection, all of your pet needs should be fulfilled, right? RIGHT? I hope so because I would do great as an only pet in the home. I have been able to co-exist with dogs at the rescue but I am a bit of a diva in my foster home. I have a domineering personality sometimes and will even mark like a male when I come across another dog's scent in my house. How dare they??? Existing? HERE? (She is otherwise house trained.) Considering that you and I know each other a little better now, you may pet me. Yes, I am very soft, I know. Please keep in mind that I am a Chow/shepherd mix and have hair that will require brushing, maybe even the occasional spa treatment, Swedish massage, 24k gold facials...yeahhhhhhhhhh.... Sorry! I forgot you were here. In all seriousness, once I trust you, I will allow you to brush me out without much fuss. It doesn't need to be daily but I am a rough and tumble kinda gal and can use help keeping my locks flowing and free. I also shed so if I seem to be losing my girlish figure, it's probably just extra hair that needs to be brushed off. I hope you have a strong vacuum. ;) I could go on for days about myself, but I'll stop here. Don't wanna overwhelm you. If you think you are up for the challenge of a total spitfire like me, please feel free to send in an application and foster mommy can tell you more about all of the grandeur that is...CHLOE.

Story
Do you see my tongue?? I mean, it looks almost ELECTRIC blue!! That is how you know I am a real chow boy, well, that and my chow 'tude!! I know that so so many people love love my breed, and the rescue people are excited to find my forever family!! They will have to be very chow knowledgeable because not only am I a chow, I am a pup who was found scared and starving in the cold and rain. And I am slow to warm to new people. So, I have learned to trust people since the rescue people take such great care of me, and I definitely need to meet my new family before we go on our merry way :) I have a gorgeous black coat, a gorgeous black tongue and am ready for adoption!! I can't wait to meet you!! ADOPT.... DON'T SHOP!!!! SO MANY LIVES' DEPEND ON YOU!!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX only)

Story
Adoption Fee - $75. Weight - 50 Pounds. Age - 6 Years Old. Duke is a highly intelligent, active , loyal boy. He is an only dog and good for an active family. He loves being outdoors and taking long walks or hikes with his people. He requires a strong handler who can put him through all the training he has learned from Rob at The Bully Squad (see their Instagram page the bully squad). Duke comes with 2 FREE training lessons with The Bully Squad. He also comes with an 8 page owners manual. Duke needs a patient , loving family who have time and patience to let his wonderful personality shine through. Indoors , Duke is super chill and enjoys being in his comfy bed. He is also a cuddle bug indoors once he knows and trusts his family. He needs a family that does not have a lot of visitors coming in and out of the house. He does protect his family and territory. An apartment or home would be equally good for Duke as long as he can be active and taken on long walks.  Some of the training commands Duke knows are : Sit, Stay, Down, Paw or Other Paw, Place, Ok, Drop It, Leave It, Touch, Heel, and Go To Bed. Duke is house and crate trained and good with children 12 years old and older. He does need anxiety meds and if left alone all day will be fine as along as he is given his medication. Duke is slow to trust ( characteristic of the Jindo breed) but once trust is built up, he is loving and cuddly and your best friend. Duke is a loyal, active, loving, wonderful boy and deserves a forever loving family to call his own. Please give him the chance to thrive. Duke is currently in board and train and has been there since February 2024. He is doing great with his trainers! If interested in adopting Duke, kindly fill out the application found here: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions In filling out this adoption application, I understand that Ozzie and Friends Rescue cannot guarantee that the dog applied for is yours to adopt upon completion of application. We also want to disclaim that all dogs are rescued so we cannot 100% know the exact breed.May 5, 2024, 5:50 pm

Story
Joey was given up when his family had a human baby. Joey is timid but goofy. He is loyal and loves to sleep in. He is medium energy and prefers quiet homes and quiet neighborhoods. He loves the country and being outdoors, but also loves a nice couch and sleeping at your feet. He needs a home where someone will work to gain his trust as he is still struggling after being left behind by his former family. If you would like to meet or learn more about JOEY please email us at adoptions@startrescue.org, and we will reach out to you within 36 hours. Alternatively, you can apply to adopt her (and we will reach out to you to set up a meet and greet). the application can be found here: https://www.startrescue.org/adopt
