Story
Willow was a Christmas foster fail for our family in 2018. She has been with us since she was 4 months old. We brought her into a home with 3 other dogs and 3 cats, and 2 children. While everything went well for a few months, when she was about 9 months old she started displaying aggression towards our oldest dog. She also became more aggressive around strange dogs, however if handled properly walks, hikes, camping, etc were never a concern. Willow is a 7 year old female rescue, she is incredibly smart, maintains eye contact as she awaits her commands, she is calm and low energy, walks well on the leash, and is very respectful of people. Willow would do best in a home where she is the only pet and therefore does not need to fight for her place. She would also benefit from an experienced handler who can keep her close and under control when on walks, hikes, etc. Willow is a very loyal companion, she will lay by you endlessly, and always be by your side wherever you are.

Story
Age: 1 yearA little bit about Primrose:Kids: Unknown history with children. All interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult.Cats/Small Animals: Unknown history with cats or small animals. All introductions should be done slowly over multiple sessions and carefully supervised.Dogs: Unknown history with other dogs. Potential for home with select other dog pending successful dog-to-dog interaction.Say hello to Primrose, a sweet, timid girl that is still learning that the world isn`t so scary! Primrose came to us as a stray, so we don`t know too much about her past, but we do know that she enjoys her treats and they have helped her be a little less scared! Primrose is sweet and kind and will warm up to you once she feels comfortable, and when she is she will let you know my always asking for attention (and butt rubs!). This sweet girl would love a home that can move at her pace and let her open up on her terms, and that can help her become more confident and trusting! With lots of time, patience and treats, Primrose is sure to be your new best friend! Come say hi today!

Story
Age: 7 yearsA little bit about Max:-Kids: Has history living with children. All interactions should be supervised. Recommended to go to a home with people 8 years and older due to size.-Cats/Small Animals: No history with cats. All interactions should be gone slowly and over a period of time.-Dogs: Has history of living with dogs in the past. Potential for dog in home with successful dog-to-dog interaction. Reactivity has been noted in shelter.Max is a fun-loving, high-energy boy looking for a family who’s ready for adventure. This enthusiastic guy has lived with kids before and would love a home that can match his zest for life, but we recommend going to a home with older children, as max can be quite enthusiastic and forget how big he is, and he is still working on his ideal doggy manners. Max thrives when he has plenty of exercise, whether that’s long daily walks, exploring the outdoors, or lots of time playing in the yard. Max has lived with dogs in the past, but he’s shown some reactivity toward other dogs (as well as trucks and buses) so his future family will need to help him continue working on calm, positive experiences. When Max wants attention, he’ll let you know, as he’s quite the talker and isn’t shy about barking to get your attention! Max does have some medical care that would be required by his future family, but our adoptions team can tell you all about that. Underneath all that energy, though, he’s a big-hearted boy who just wants to be included and loved. If you’re looking for a spirited, outgoing companion who will happily join you on every outing, Max might be your perfect match!

**NILAH is a Patient Paw, please ask about their reduced adoption fee and the possibility of a sleepover!**A bit about Nilah:- has lived with children; all interactions should be supervised- unknown history with cats; slow, supervised introductions required- only dog in home (required)- history of resource guardingEnthusiastic, friendly, playful and cuddly - meet Nilah, a social girl who likes nothing better than meeting new friends! She lives by the philosophy that strangers are just friends you haven`t met yet, and will wiggling and squealing and tugging to go say hi when she sees new people. Whether she`s cuddling on the couch, playing ball, heading out to explore, Nilah brings the enthusiasm - she never does anything half-way! Nilah can be uncomfortable with restraint or forceful handling, so she`s looking for a patient family to help her gain confidence with vet visits and grooming. Nilah has lived with kids, and may do well with your resident little ones, but she`d like to be the only dog in your home as she`s not a fan of other pups! If you love pitties then you`ll love this sweet face! Visit her today!

**Joaquin is a Patient Paw, please ask about their reduced adoption fee and the possibility of a sleepover!**To set Joaquin and his new family up for success, he will also receive two free post adoption consults and a free session of `No-Pull Pups!`A little about Joaquin:- kids unknown- cats / small animals unknown- limited history with other dogs, potential for select other dog following successful dog-to-dogIf you`re looking for a little extra motivation to get outside and enjoy winter, look no further than Joaquin! Our big, goofy boy`s delightful snow-based antics are guaranteed to lift your mood, and his famously cuddly personality means you`ll never feel lonely again! Joaquin also enjoys making joyful music with the assistance of his squeaky toys, and working on his agility skills. Because Joaquin is a big, bouncy exuberant dog who doesn`t know his own size, he may be overwhelming for smaller kids, or brand new dog owners. He`s still learning how to channel his energy and will do best in a home that can redirect him consistently and provide him with lots of exercise and mental engagement. He`s already house-trained and has some basic manners like sit, he just needs a little extra direction. Having lived with other dogs before, there`s a chance that Joaquin may do well with another dog in the home following a successful dog-to-dog! It will also be important that Joaquin`s family is prepared to feed him a hypoallergenic diet as he is prone to skin issues. So what are you waiting for? Come say hello to Joaquin today!

Story
**AQUILA is a Patient Paw, please ask about their reduced adoption fee and the possibility of a sleepover!**Aquila is available through our `Adopt From a Foster Home` program. If you are interested in scheduling a meeting, please fill out the request form here: Adopt From Foster Form. Please do not make an appointment through our online booking calendar, as she is not available to meet on site.Age: 6 yearsWeight: 31.1 kgA bit about Aquila:- limited history with children; all interactions should be supervised- unknown history with cats; introductions should be slow and supervised- has lived with dogs before; dogs okay pending successful introduction (will do best with calm dogs that can respect space)Meet Aquila! She says it`s good to see ya! This sweet middle aged pittie lady is seeking a family that enjoys the same things as her - relaxed walks, snuggles on the couch, snoozing in the sun, and food! As you might be able to tell from her picture, Miss Aquila is a bit of a foodie who unfortunately needs to lose some weight. Not only does she enjoy her kibble, but she`s also happy to try fruits and veggies as a snack. Aquila is very shy with new people, but she has lived with children before and will probably do well in any home that can give her some space until she trusts you and wants to go in for all the cuddles. Aquila foster family described her as intelligent (she`ll do anything for kibble), perfectly house trained, and very sweet. She does have arthritis, and can be uncomfortable with her paws being touched because of that, but she is otherwise a healthy middle aged lady ready to find her people!
