Story
We fostered Copper when he was 6 months old and foster failed. His past before us is unknown - he was found wandering the streets in Delta. He came to us afraid of everything and we did him a disservice by not socializing him more. I have been working with a trainer on some of his behavioral issues and he is eager to learn and highly food motivated. Copper has lived in peace with our other 2 dogs for the last two years, however he started to show increasingly jealous aggression towards them and had a nasty fight that injured our whippet. For this reason, we are seeking to rehome him with an owner where he can be an only dog. Copper is not a bad dog but he is showing definite signs that he prefers people to dogs. Copper is high energy and needs a fenced yard. He is kennel trained but never stays in for more than 3 hours. He loves sunshine, squeaky toys and belly rubs. Copper never has accidents in the house, sleeps through the night, and eats a grain-free diet.

Story
Hi there, I’m Eleven I’m a 7-year-old girl with a heart full of love and a personality that still feels young at heart. If you’re looking for an affectionate, loyal companion who wants to be right by your side, I might just be your perfect match.Right now, I’m living in a foster home with kids, and I’m doing great! I also get to go on playdates with my canine friends, which I absolutely love. I enjoy making friends and showing off my playful side. Even though I’m a little older, my spirit is still bright and bouncy as my age has never slowed me down or taken away my joy.One of my favorite things? Adventures! I ride amazingly in the car and am always ready to tag along wherever you’re headed, whether it’s a road trip, a walk around town, or just running errands together. When it’s time to relax, I’m crate trained and happy to settle in, especially after a day full of fun.I’m sweet, loving, playful, and always eager to be part of the action. All I’m missing now is the perfect family to share my love with. Could that be you?

Story
Meet Samwise!Samwise is a 3-year-old boy with a gentle soul who is learning, every day, how to be a little braver. He can be shy at first and takes some time to build trust, but with patience and kindness, his true personality begins to shine. Once he feels safe, you’ll see his fun, goofy side peek through, and it’s absolutely worth the wait.Samwise would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention without feeling overwhelmed. He has previously lived with cats and done well, making him a good fit for a feline-friendly household. Because he’s still building confidence, a home with kids ages 10 and up would be ideal so he can have calm, respectful interactions as he continues to grow.This sweet boy is looking for a loving, understanding home that will give him the time and space he needs to feel secure. In return, Samwise will reward you with loyalty, affection, and those endearing, silly moments that make him so special. If you’re ready to help a deserving pup come out of his shell, Samwise is ready to meet you.

Story
Hi there.I’m Andy, and let me tell you a little about myself, from me, because honestly… who knows me better than me?First things first: I have a BIG personality. Capital B, capital P. I’m goofy, expressive, and always ready to entertain. I’ve also come a long way in my training journey...like glow-up level growth. I’ve been working with a local trainer at Angels in the Making, and turns out I’m kind of a star student. I learn fast, especially when treats are involved (and yes, treats should always be involved).I’ve lived with other dogs and can totally do that again, but I should be upfront about a couple things:Cats? No thank you. I simply do not understand them and choose peace.Kids? I love people, but I don’t fully understand my own size or strength, so a home with kiddos 10 and up would be best. Think “fun uncle energy,” not “toddler jungle gym.”I also have a special diet because I’m allergic to chicken (tragic, I know). But don’t worry, I’m very food motivated and will happily accept approved snacks in exchange for good behavior, tricks, or just existing handsomely.Some of my favorite qualities:Goofy ??Entertaining ??Quirky bark that will make you laugh ??Extremely unique look ??Secretly learning to embrace my inner couch potato ??I’m the kind of dog who will keep you laughing, impress you with my progress, and then flop dramatically onto the couch like I’ve worked a double shift.If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind companion with a huge heart, a big personality, and a whole lot of potential (plus a very memorable bark), I might just be your guy.Love,Andy ??
