Story

7yr old tan M/N shepherd mix Foster notes: Noble is a sensitive guy and he seems to be more comfortable around women than men for now. He loves being near his person & follows me all day around the house. He may resource guard his bed. He bit my husband the first week we had him when he tried to pet him when he was on his bed. I have since kept him apart from my husband and he has not shown any signs of aggression for a while and he has even wagged his tail at my husband. I would still err on the side of caution with new people and men with his bed. Any iffy situation I have him leashed and muzzled or on the other side of a baby gate. When people come over or in crowded places I let him wear a comfortable muzzle. It makes me more comfortable and it keeps him out of trouble. He has walked in very crowded places in close quarters wearing a muzzle and has not shown any signs of aggression. I feel that if there is any aggression it could be territorial or fearful aggression because I have only seen him do it at home. I don’t know how he is around children but I think it would be a safer bet to say no kids. He is potty trained. He is good with other dogs with a proper introduction. I have two pit bulls and a chihuahua and he hangs out with them all day long. He is obsessed with playing fetch. He will drop the ball in front of you while you are cooking dinner. Once he thinks you are his person, you could not find a more loyal and loving campanion. He has decompressed a lot in the short time he has lived with me and he will be even better with time in a loving and patient home. His ideal owner would be someone who is willing to take it slow with him and let him open up on his own terms, someone with a lot of dog experience, who is home a lot, a woman. Also he came to me with itchy skin and I have been giving him fresh food and it has cleared everything up. So a dream home would provide that for him too otherwise I think he might have allergies. Also Noble is very athletic. If someone wants a jogging partner, he would be up for it. ##2632401##

Story

oki is a handsome, affectionate, and well-mannered 8-year-old dog who is urgently seeking a rescue or dedicated adopter. He loves people, gets along well with friendly female dogs, and plays fetch like a pro. Tennis balls are his favorite! Outside the shelter, Loki walks well on leash, regularly checks in with his handler, and stays calm around passing people and dogs. He still has the stamina for a 4-mile hike but is happily past the challenging adolescent phase. Loki has been placed on medical final due to ongoing allergy-related needs. While in the shelter, he has required regular ear cleanings that must be performed under sedation. Although Loki has never shown aggression toward veterinary staff, he is sensitive to handling and struggles to remain still for ear treatments. He has shown improvement on a poultry-free diet along with prescription allergy medication such as Apoquel or Cytopoint. With consistent diet and medication, his adopter may be able to reduce or even eliminate the need for frequent ear cleanings. Loki has lived in foster homes and does well in a home environment. However, he was returned from one foster placement due to incompatibility with household cats, so a cat-free home is required. Loki would thrive with an active individual or family willing to provide consistency, patience, and ongoing support for his medical care. ##2617118##

Story

Gandalf - 57 lb, 3 years old, Shepherd mix. This poor guy was a stray; he was caught using a dog trap. He’s shut down in the shelter environment. He’ll need an experienced, patient handler who can help him to decompress and come out of his shell. Gandalf was evaluated by staff; key observations are as follows: Tolerates gentle petting on the head; shut down; shows limited social skills with people. Overall, appears under socialized and a flight risk! Leash walking is currently very uncomfortable; he will resist, yelp, and attempt to hide. Enjoyed spending time in the yard (on leash), tolerated people being present but does not show much enthusiasm or engagement. He did take treats gently from the handler. Tested well with another male (Coffee); they were able to sit in the grass together and relax. He was also introduced to a more energetic female dog, River. He initially growled at her but then was able to coexist and allow some curious sniffing. Any future introductions to other dogs should be slow and supervised. When returning to his kennel, Gandalf walked inside on his own to hide and allowed staff to remove his leash without issue. ##2604285##
