Story
Hi friends, my name is Tomato and I think I can make you smile just like my adorable name does! I spent a month at County after I was found as a stray, then had a fun week with a nice family. Their little dog didn’t like me too much, so I ended up here, but I can’t wait to find my forever home. I love snuggling on the couch, belly and paw rubs, and meeting new people. I am fully housebroken, don’t mind a car ride, and I don’t beg for food when you’re eating. I do jump and lick a little too much and I’m very curious about bunnies and lizards on walks, but I’m willing to work on that. I don’t think I’d like to live with a cat and I’d need to meet your dogs to know if I like them, but I know I will love you and your human family members - please give me that chance!

Story
Coalito isn’t just a puppy—he’s a prodigy in the making! This clever, food-motivated pup is bursting with potential and looking for a person just as passionate about training as he is about learning. Whether it’s solving puzzles, mastering interactive toys, or working on leash skills, Coalito loves having a job to do—and he does it with heart!Though he might be a little shy at first, don’t be fooled—around the shelter, Coalito has earned the title of Champion Cuddler. His favorite pastime (besides snack time) is rolling onto his back for belly rubs and soaking up affection. Once he trusts you, he’ll be your most loyal companion, always eager to connect and impress.Coalito is searching for a home where socialization, structure, and enrichment are part of everyday life. He`s already walking well on a leash and is learning how to walk in a heel—just one of the many cool things the staff would love to show you during your visit!If you have a resident pup and think Coalito might be a great match, bring them along for a meet and greet—we’d love to see this smart, snuggly boy find his perfect fit!

Eeyore is a bit of a sad boy mainly because he lost his original home due to life changes and everything is a bit overwhelming to this boy.  He loves other dogs and will do best in a home with another dog. He has lived with other dogs and kids. He will be neutered and entropion if needed prior to adoption.May 7, 2025, 4:57 pm
