Story
Meet Taz – Your New Best Friend! 🐾 Taz is a lovable, silly, and full-of-life pup who’s looking for a forever home! This goofy guy absolutely lives for playtime – toys are his jam – but when it’s time to wind down, he’ll happily curl up next to you on the couch for some cozy cuddles. He's the perfect mix of energy and affection. Taz has a huge heart and so much love to give. He’s got that charming, slightly crazy streak that keeps you laughing, and the kind of loyalty that makes every moment together feel special. He would love some older kids to play with (8-10+), but might get a little too excited for younger children and toddlers. He would love a pet sibling and gets a long great with his foster brother and sister. He is house broken and has not had any accidents but he is still working on remembering his manners all the time, especially when he gets excited. If you’re looking for a pup who will make you smile every day, keep you entertained with his antics, and snuggle up with you at night, Taz is your guy.

Story
Glinda is a gentle and affectionate dog who thrives on human companionship. Her favorite activity is getting cuddles, especially face kisses and hugs. She is happiest when spending quiet time with her person and receiving plenty of love and attention. She may be 50+ lbs but she is still a total lap dog. She`s pretty low energy and is more of a couch potato than an athlete. She is very well-behaved on walks and enjoys exploring her surroundings with calm curiosity. Glinda is highly food-motivated and appreciates the occasional treat. Glinda would do best in a home without cats and may be reactive around other dogs, so a single-pet household would be ideal. I think she could do well with a fur sibling, it would just need to be a slower introduction. But she`s definitely looking to be someone`s side kick and bff. She does well when left at home and doesn`t seem to suffer from any separation anxiety, especially when she has a big bed to pass the time in. When Glinda came to the shelter as a stray, she had a skin infection called demedox. We are down to one medicated bath a week and shes looking like a whole new dog! She is so patient and cooperative when having her bathes. I think she would do really well with children as she is very gentle and sweet with people.
