Kabo has a great temperament. He is a little hyper and needs someone who lives an active life style. He needs a yard with a little room to run. He loves other pups as long as they are nice to him. He would be next suited in a home with bigger kids or teens due to his size and hyper activity. He’s been looking for a home For a long time since his currently fosters saved him a long time ago.

Story
I adopted Molly when she was 4 years old in July of 2008, so she'll be 20 this July. Molly was my best friend for the last 16 years and went everywhere with me: hiking, boat rides, vacation, car trips, you name it. She has had two doggy brothers and a cat friend who she's outlived by many years. She's an Australian cattle dog and lives on many acres, so she loves to be outside and run, even though she's (a little) slower now. She will try to "herd" strangers occasionally and loves to chase after rabbits, but has only ever been (mildly) aggressive once when another male dog tried to hump her at the dog park (consent is important to her I guess!) She will be an excellent companion for anyone, and I am heartbroken to be rehoming her, but we are only home for a few hours a day anymore working multiple jobs and I do not want her last years to be lonely and locked up. She is losing her hearing a little bit, but is still active and loves life!

Size

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Noodle! Noodle is a very special little guy who was found as a stray and taken to a local shelter. Noodle is blind and has neurological issues, most likely cerebellar hypoplasia which impacts his motor skills. Despite all this Noodle loves to cruise around just as much as he loves to cuddle. Noodle needs a calm, quiet home preferably with a family that is experienced with blind dogs. Noodle also experiences idiopathic aggression and should not go to a home with small children. Noodle will need to be fostered prior to adoption to make sure it is a good fit.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Jake! Jake is a sweet older guy with lots of love to give! He was abandoned on a doorstep in a dirty crate, and taken to a local shelter before being transferred to Gray Muzzle Society. Jake does well with cats and dogs, but is leash reactive so would be better suited to a house with a yard. Jake does well with a doggy door, but needs patience with house training when he first adjusts to new places. We performed a dental, and are working on helping Jake lose weight, but he's otherwise an active, healthy older dog!
