Story
Meet Ron! 🐾 Ron is a handsome 6-year-old Yorkie looking for a loving forever home! He’s a charming little guy who is still getting to know his furry friends. Ron has been introduced to other dogs in playgroup, and our team is continuing to learn more about his social compatibility with other dogs. A meet-and-greet at the kennel is required for all of our dogs before adoption. This gives you the opportunity to meet Ron, get to know his personality, and see if you and your dogs could be the perfect match for each other. ❤️ Could Ron be your new best friend? Come meet him and find out! ------ Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life. Skills such as house training, leash walking, and handling may require continued practice. Progress will vary by individual dog. Homes with older children are often a good fit, depending on temperament. To learn more about NMDR and our adoption process, please visit our website.

Story
Betty is a 5-year-old Poodle weighing 46 pounds. She is a sweet-natured girl who may need a moment to warm up when meeting new people or experiencing unfamiliar situations. Once she feels comfortable, her gentle and affectionate personality begins to shine. Betty enjoys exploring her surroundings, especially when she has the company of a friendly canine companion by her side. She may do best in a home with another dog-friendly sibling who can provide companionship as she settles in. A meet-and-greet at the shelter will be required to help ensure Betty and any resident dogs are a good fit for one another. With a little time, patience, and understanding, Betty is sure to make a wonderful addition to her future family. ------ Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life.
