Story

~ I can live in a single family home. I may be comfortable in a condo but Im too large for apartments. ~ I want to live with adults. I may be willing to consider sharing my home with teenagers who are very gentle and respectful of pets. ~ I may enjoy living with cats and dogs pending slow and thoughtful introductions. ~ I have my moments of energy and need to get some exercise every day. ~ I am a great dog with lots of potential. I would do best with a family who has owned dogs before. Meet Donatello! Named after everyones favorite inventor turtle, Donatello is a 2.5 year old, neutered, Labrador Retriever mix weighing 60 pounds. This handsome black-and-white boy came to CHS from another shelter, where he was born and has spent his entire life. Like any hero starting a new adventure, Donatello can be a little nervous in new situations and with unfamiliar people. With patience and a gentle approach, however, he quickly reveals his sweet and affectionate personality. He is leash trained, kennel trained, enjoys playing with other dogs, and has been fairly neutral around cats. Donatello is looking for an adult home, though he may do well with respectful teenagers. He would be happiest with an experienced dog owner who can help him continue building confidence. He enjoys daily exercise, may be able to live with other pets after slow introductions, and is best suited for a single family home or possibly a condo. If youre ready to help this gentle ninja come out of his shell, Donatello may be the perfect sidekick for your family!

~ I can live in a single family home or condo. ~ I want to live with adults. I may be willing to consider sharing my home with kids 10 years of age and older who are gentle and respectful of pets. ~ I may like to live with another dog who is gentle and respectful towards me. ~ Although Ive never lived with a cat, I have met them and was reportedly friendly. I may be willing to consider sharing my home with a dog-savvy feline, pending slow and proper introductions. ~ I am a high energy kind of dog and am looking for a home where I can get lots of exercise every day. ~ I have some special needs but still have lots of life to live and love to give. Please ask the adoption counselor to explain when you visit with me. Meet Thunder! This handsome 9 year old, American Pit Bull Terrier mix weighs 47 pounds and has a striking black coat, accented with distinguished gray fur. Thunder came to the shelter after the heartbreaking loss of his owners passing, and is now looking for a loving home to spend his golden years. Thunder is a social, affectionate guy with a medium energy level who enjoys both adventure and relaxation. Long trail hikes make him especially happy, and he also loves chasing toys, playing in a fenced yard, lounging in the grass, and soaking up relaxing massages. Hes a smart boy who knows multiple commands and enjoys rope toys and balls. Bonus points if you like brushing dogs...Thunder certainly does! Thunder has lived with another dog before and reportedly did well. He may be willing to share his home with another gentle, respectful dog companion. Although he has never lived with cats, he has reportedly been friendly when meeting them and may consider a dog-savvy feline friend with slow introductions. Thunder is house-trained and crate-trained and is used to living with adults. He may be open to living with children 10 years and older who are gentle and respectful of pets. He can live in either a single-family home or condo as long as he gets plenty of daily exercise and enrichment. If youre looking for a loyal companion who enjoys both outdoor adventures and cozy downtime, Thunder may be the perfect addition to your family.

Nala is Looking for a Patient, Loving HomeThis is one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, but we’re looking for a loving home where Nala can truly thrive.Nala is a rescue dog with a gentle heart. She loves to cuddle, be close to her person, and enjoys a calm, quiet environment. She does well around other dogs, ignores cats, and has been around children.Our home has become a bit too busy and chaotic for what Nala needs. She is a sensitive dog who would benefit from a peaceful home with someone who has the time, patience, and consistency to help her continue building confidence at her own pace.Once Nala feels safe, she is incredibly loving, loyal, and affectionate. We know she has so much love to give, and we are committed to finding the right person or family who will give her the calm, stable environment she deserves.If you think you could provide Nala with a patient, loving home, we’d love to hear from you. Please tell us a little about yourself.
