Story
Meet Bruiser - heavyweight champion of snuggles. Bruiser is a calm, lovable dog whose need for rehoming is due to the passing of his human family, not because of any behavior or care concerns. He came from a loving home with a large yard. While he didn’t receive much leash or recall training previously, he is smart & motivated by food & toys. He is learning fast in foster care & can continue to grow with consistency. He still has verve, but is mostly a cuddly couch potato looking for quiet time & companionship. He has not had prior experience with children or cats. He currently lives with one other dog, whom he tolerates, but he has not been observed with unfamiliar dogs. He would thrive in a peaceful, loving home where he can enjoy comfort & cozy companionship. He is a strong chewer who needs durable toys & appropriate treats, but he is well-mannered & has not shown destructive behavior toward household items. Stays alone well; crate trained. 7yo, 66 lbs, altered, vacc; can transport

Story
Monroe is the sweetest little bundle of energy. She is a very active dog, but also loves cuddling. I hate to part with her, but I've been laid off and can no longer care for her as she deserves; I'd like to transfer her into the home of a dog lover that I can trust to keep her, lovingly. She is iffy around other dogs, and unfortunately does not get along with cats. Ideally, she will be the only pet in the home, but she has coexisted among my other dog and some of my friends; pets just fine. Approach social situations with caution, she tends to do well around people, but can get overstimulated. As far as I know, she lived on the street for the first year of her life, and at the shelter for her second. In the past two years that I've had her, I've trained her out of many bad habits and she has grown into a wonderful house dog that still loves going on adventures. If you are looking for a new best friend, I would love to introduce you to mine.

Story
This leading Lady will steal the show & your heart! Lady is a gentle, affectionate pup whose rehoming is due to the passing of her human family, not for any behavior or care concerns. She came from a loving home with a large yard. While she didn't do much formal training previously, she is learning things quickly & enthusiastically in foster care. Lady is eager to please, food motivated & very smart. With time & attention, she has the potential to become an exceptionally skilled & obedient companion. She has not had prior exposure to children or cats. She currently lives with another dog, but would prefer a home where she doesn’t have to compete for attention & can be someone’s special focus. She'd love learning new games, building skills & spending lots of time snuggling. She's got a big bark when startled, but she loves people. She is well-behaved when left on her own & has not shown any destructive behaviors in foster care. 3yo, 58 lbs, spayed, vacc - records & transport avail.

Story
Meet Kuroo, the friendly, goofy, and energetic furball who's always ready to play. He is an adventure type of guy that loves meeting and seeing new places and people. Even on the grayest of days Kuroo is a bouncing ball of sunshine who put the spot light on anyone who needs a little joy in their day. If you're looking for a laugh-a-minute companion who will keep you on your toes, Kuroo is your guy. His love for life is infectious, and he's ready to share it with a family who will appreciate his unique brand of comedy. He can be a little shy for the first few minutes but is pretty easy to win over with head rub or treats. Kuroo is not only just a happy boy he is a smart one too! He is an expert at sit and certainly sits pretty. He is eager to learn new things and with some treats he catches quickly. Kuro has the potential to be a very well manner pup with lots of love to give if only someone would give him the chance to prove himself. From a volunteer: Kuroo was a little unsure of us and the car at first (we had to pick him up to put him in the car the first couple times). But once he realized we were his friends he was so sweet, affectionate, curious, and smart! He ended up jumping in and out of the car on his own by the end of the day! He was patient with a bath and did well in the pet store and on a leashed walk. Oh, and did I mention he LOVES French fries? He got a few from us and I think that was definitely the highlight of his day! Kuroo is so ready to share a lifetime of French fry runs with his forever family!

Goliath

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This hunk of muscle is Goliath and although he looks like he bench presses in his kennel he is a big teddy bear just looing for a couch to cuddle on. He is a pretty strong guy on leash and has some things to learn about life but who know what his past life was like for him to not have been though somethings. Goliath get along with most other dogs, but he would do best in a home where he would not be around intact male dogs, neutered boys are fine in his book though! Goliath is still young and would love a home that can help him figure out the tricks of the world we live in.

Sweet Lovey girl is as tall as she is thick, but trust us you won't need a blanket when cuddling with her. This girl has a heart of pure gold and loves the company of people. From hike to a nap she can do it all and will do it with a smile. You will struggle to find a dog so loving as her and she would be the perfect companion for a majority of households, as long as you don't have cats. Lovey is an amazing girl and is worth her weight in gold.
