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
Hi, I'm Beavis! I love cuddles and I'm quite the gentle soul. My days are filled with lower-energy fun, perfect for a chill home that likes casual adventures. I might be a bit shy at first, but give me a moment and I'll warm right up to you, showing you my friendly side with a wagging tail and eager eyes. I dream of a forever home where I can share all my love. If you're looking for a sweet companion to share quiet moments and joyful playtimes, I'm your guy! Let's make countless happy memories together. From a foster: Beavis is an absolute sweetheart. He is a great car rider and walks well on a leash. He is still a little shy at times but very sweet. He gets along well with my dog who can be high energy. He could use some desensitization to the crate.

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. 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!
