Story
Remington is a playful, funny pup with a big personality and an even bigger love for toys. He’s happiest when he’s playing, tossing his toys around, or inviting you to join in the fun. Once he gets to know you, Remington is incredibly affectionate and loves being close to his people. He may need a little time to warm up to new people, but with patience and gentle introductions, his silly, loving side quickly shines through. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will make you laugh and shower you with affection, Remington might be your perfect match. This is what his foster buddy had to say about his recent outing: "Today I spent approximately 3 hours with Remington. I had to "load" him in the car. He looked uncomfortable once there but as soon as we rode, he relaxed. We chose a quiet trail first to help him transition from his kennel to the outside. He did fine. We then met another dog. Remington was ready to engage, possibly overwhelming the other pup. He was just ready to play which is hard when you are leashed. No tension, no lunging, no barking. Once on the River Trail, Remington spotted some big fish swimming in a little reservoir accross from the hatchery. He sat and watched them for a long while. That was pretty cute. He also wanted to play. Remington is big on toys but I did not have one on me. So, we improvised with pinecones around the library for a while. He looked so relaxed. He was having fun. Remington can get spooked by stuff, an ominous shape he cannot make out, a stranger wanting to pet him, sounds unfamiliar to him. Talking to him makes all this stress go away. He was even comfortable watching bikers go by on the trail. I took Remington out first on February 28th and today, he did look a lot more confident and relaxed. What does Remington need? Love and patience. He will conquer his fears with the right individual and/or family."

Chai is a quiet, soft-natured 5-year-old girl with a gentle presence that brings a sense of calm wherever she goes. She may be a little unsure at first, but she carries herself with a quiet grace that makes you want to lean in and earn her trust. Chai feels safest when she knows her people have her back, and in return, she gives her whole heart. Chai is one of a kind dog who forms deep, meaningful bonds. Because of that strong bond, Chai can be a little protective of her people. It comes from love and devotion, and she will thrive with a confident owner who can provide reassurance and gentle guidance.
