Story
Meet Ceebo! A big-energy boy with a soft heart and a thoughtful approach to the world. Ceebo is a little cautious at first, but underneath that gentle uncertainty is an active, playful pup who's ready to shine. Ceebo has successfully lived with cats and dogs, and he does well with the right canine match and a respectful introduction. This guy has energy to spare and loves a good hard chew toy. Ceebo would thrive with plenty of enrichment like puzzle toys, training games, and fun activities that keep his brain busy and his confidence growing.Our volunteers think that Ceebo is an absolute sweetie. He's easy to walk, will sit and lay down upon request, tales treats gently, and enjoys gentle petting. Ceebo is recommended for a family with older or no children and if a multi-dog household, he'd prefer a sister! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 64.2 Age: 3yrs 6mths 1wks

Story
Meet Anubis, a handsome boy who loves a good game of tug-of-war, fetch, and then-get ready-the zoomies! Anubis is a curious observer- he loves gazing out the window and keeping tabs on the neighborhood happenings. He's crate savvy and his previous home allowed him to go in and out of this safe space as he pleased. Volunteers tell us that Anubis likes to lead the way when out exploring, but if they stop walking, he'll return to their side and responds well to requests for "sit" and "down" -- and loves treats tossed on the ground!Anubis would thrive with an active adopter who can match his playful energy and provide him with structure, love, and a spot by the window. Anubis objects to sharing food and toys with people and other animals so will only be adopted to a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age. Primary Color: Tri Color Secondary Color: Brindle Weight: 45.2 Age: 3yrs 10mths 3wks
