Although he only has three legs, he LOVES his walks and an occasional run! The only thing Tank loves as much as cuddles and walks is treats 🍖 He’s willing to do anything to get one! He’s eager to please, incredibly smart, & a very quick learner. One of Tank’s favorite activities is his after dinner belly rubs 🥰 Tank enjoys his crate, he likes having his own space 😌 He’s fully potty trained, and he’s beyond ready to find his people! Tank has been fostered with other dogs, but he prefers to be the only dog🐶 He gets jealous of sharing his humans’ attention. He has been through so much in his short life, he is eager to love and be loved, & will be the perfect companion🥺Tank has been fostered with kiddos 10+. His favorite being is his kid foster brother💚 Tank’s adoption fee is $200. He is neutered, microchipped, & up to date on shots.

Story
Hi everyone! My name's Jojo and I had a rough start to my life. I was found on the streets of Clovis, New Mexico, as a young pup with medical issues. But I'm a fighter and I'm doing much better these days! I'm also a lover -- I love everyone and especially my doggy roommates. Did you notice my eyes? My foster mama tells me they are a beautiful gold color and match my ears. I'm about 5-6 months old now and my foster parents are always commenting about how smart I am. I do know stuff -- I'm potty trained, I sit like a good boy, and I come when I'm called (usually). I'm working on other commands, but I'm still a puppy so I get into some mischief sometimes. For the most part I really want to please my foster family. I can't wait to be a good boy for my forever family! I like to run, play with other dogs, swim in my baby pool, and eat. Boy do I like to eat! I'm very food-motivated and I'll do just about anything for a treat. I'm pretty good on a leash, too. I like all the smells when we go on walks in the mountains and I'm working on not pulling when I see something I really want to investigate! I'm used to my crate now, and I actually like to go into it myself sometimes because active boys like me do need naps. I LOVE my toys and like to have some in my crate with me. My foster mama says my forever family will be a special one because although I'm better physically, I still struggle sometimes with digestive issues. I'm on special medication and food and it is helping. Note from foster mama: Jojo is eager to please & would thrive in an active family that is willing to continue to work on his training and help him to continue to improve physically from his prolapsed rectum that we have been working with his vet to help it be resolved with his diet and meds. His adoption fee is $400 to help cover his vetting. He is neutered, microchipped, & up to date on shots. https://dooverdogs.com/multi-step-adoption-form-1/

Story
Rya is a lovely adorable girl who loves affection and playing with other dogs and going for walks. She is about six months old and weighs about 37 pounds, so she should only be about 50 pounds full-grown. She is a social butterfly who will amaze you with her calm and bright demeanor. She has been well socialized with other dogs and people and is fabulous with everyone, and loves going to the dog park. She plays a perfect game of fetch and loves toys. She is a natural fit as a second dog, but with her confident personality, she can shine solo as well. She loves daily walks, is a great runner, and has started to explore swimming. She adores the dog park, and is great with kids and other dogs, as she has been taken lots of places. She is becoming an adept grasshopper hunter and loves to show off her food bowl, as she carries it around the house as a prize. She is a goof who cannot wait to meet her forever! It is hard not to fall in love with such an incredible girl!

Story
Chuck is a boy who wants his people around as much as possible. He is rambunctious and loving, and is so excited when you come home! He is about four and a half months old and weighs about 16 pounds, and he is a solid boy, but his mama is only about 25 pounds, so he will not be too big at all. He loves playing and wrestling with his siblings and he will go after a ball that you throw, but then comes running back without the ball because he wants to be with you. He looks just like his mama, and is adapting very well to living in a house. He is all about his people, loves children, and wants as much attention as he can get. He is the most obedient of the three as far as training as well. He is intelligent and learned to sit after two tries. Chuck is almost house trained and seeks out a puppy pad if need be. He loves to play tug of war and is a champion on a leash walk! He has an affectionate personality and would love an owner that lets him know that he is safe and that he will be loved. He cannot wait to meet you!

Story
Miss Marion is a goofy girl who loves to snuggle and enjoys running as fast as possible. She is about four months old and weighs about 13 pounds, and is the one of the three with long legs and a slim figure. She is the perfect fetching dog, as she already chases a ball and brings it right back to you! She loves her toys, playing tug-of-war, and learning new things. She wrestles with her brother, Chuck, and runs as fast as she can all over! Then she relaxes by your feet or snuggling in with the owned dog in the house for a nap. She loves to eat and is extremely food motivated, so training has been successful and she knows to sit before food and before getting pets. She walks on a leash very well and loves going for her walks with the other dog in the home. She is almost completely house trained, and only goes on a puppy pad if there is an "in the house emergency". She would love to be a second dog in the home and learn all of the ways to be a safe and secure girl. She is a precious girl who cannot wait to learn all of the tricks and become the best dog that she can!

What a sweetheart! Little Dakota is all smiles and ready to find her home! She is about 12 weeks old and weighs about nine pounds. She has such a fun personality! She loves to run and play and be independent, but then is always ready for a snuggle as well. She loves going for walks and is getting to be wonderful on a leash. She loves everything about being a dog and making her people happy with her fabulous behavior. She is enjoying her crate, but is still working on house training, as she is still young. Don't miss out on this ray of sunshine, because she will totally make your day!
