Story
He is a total love and is ready for a best friend. Some things we've learned about him: -if you think you don't like gophers- he dislikes them more! -he would like to be the little spoon in bed -sitting weirdly like a human in a chair is his super power -he lives for a tennis ball, squeaking ones preferred -is learning to kennel with stinky snacks -loves to lay in sunshine -really loves ladies but is cool with dudes too -really likes scrambled eggs -seems cool with kiddos but is very big and probably not a great fit with the littles (he's just big, not grumpy) -would thrive with a fenced yard maybe not cats, unknown -comes across as a big dork -was cool with other dogs at the shelter, is not reactive when he sees doggo friends, no aggression or guarding

Story
We are looking for a wonderful new home for our beloved6.5-year-old Maltipoo.She is a healthy, affectionate, 13-pound companion who absolutely loves being close to her people. She is a true snuggle bug and happiest curled up next to someone she loves.This decision comes with a heavy heart. Our family circumstances have changed significantly—one child is leaving for college, another will be commuting long hours, and the family member who has been her primary caregiver now travels most of the time. We feel she deserves more attention, exercise, and companionship than we can realistically provide.About Her:* 6.5-year-old female Maltipoo - spayed and chip implanted, up to date vaccination.* 17.5 lbs* Sweet, loving, and very affectionate* Great with children* House-trained* Enjoys walks, cuddles, and being part of the family* Gets along with other pets after a short adjustment period (typically anywhere from an hour to half a day)We are looking for a stable, loving home.

Sweet boy dog! He is loyal and likes to be around his human. Have had him since he was a puppy, but too many responsibilities for me and not enough time for him. Looking for a great loving home for him.

Story
Looking to adopt a dog that adds a bit of glitz and glam to your life.. meet Sparkle! Sparkle is an 8 year old husky mix gal who has stolen the hearts of volunteers and staff members. Upon entry to the Shelter, staff observed that Sparkle seemed to have trouble seeing her environment and would bump into things. Our medical team has been overseeing her care and consulted with a local ophthalmologist who determined that Sparkle is functionally blind. Although she appears comfortable at the moment, she may need both of her eyes surgically removed in the future. Because of this, Sparkle needs a very special adopter that will commit to her and her needs in the future. Our clinic team is available to talk to any potential adopter moving forward. More about our girl Sparkle.. She has gone on a sleepover with a volunteer who reports: `Although Sparkle certainly doesn’t see well (if much at all), she never seemed stressed being in a new environment. She spent a long time (~1hr) just exploring the room, sniffing every last corner. She did occasionally bump into walls/furniture, but quickly got better at navigating the space. Sparkle definitely kept a mental map of the area. For instance, she had to go up a couple steps to enter the house, which involved some hesitation on her first attempt. After that first time, she happily went up/down without any assistance. She only ever made it halfway-up the in-house staircase, but I also didn’t spend much time practicing it with her. Hopping on/off couches and beds was no trouble at all. In general, she did great at navigating the house. She happily followed me around, and knew very well the position of her water and toys and could locate them independently. Her lack of vision did not seem to bother her in the slightest. She loved her walks, and would even position herself in front of me instead of by my side. That being said, she would bump into walls or trip off the curb if I didn’t stop her, although she remained unbothered by it all. While Sparkle was content riding in the car, she did refuse to enter it. So long as I went slow, she was very tolerant of being carried, so I picked her up to plop her inside.Finally, some short personality notes:Super snuggly! She demanded more attention with stubs, paws, and soft boofsEnjoyed squeaky toys, and happily squeaked them for literal hoursVery food-motivated, but I did have to put treats directly in front of her mouth in order for her to locate the
