Story
This handsome mug belongs to Porkchop! Porkchop is an 11 month old Bulldog mix who weighs about 60 pounds! He is a happy boy who loves to play with the resident dogs in his foster home. He's cautious and can be a nervous nelly, so slow introductions to new dogs, kids, and humans work best for this guy. He would love to have a confident and relaxed dog buddy in his forever home! After he gets used to new people, he loves to dole out kisses :) Porkchop is pen and crate trained, and potty trained! He's a young dog so he will need continued training and direction in his forever home. He thrives with routine and repetition. This includes his walk routes! He enjoys going for walkies but he likes to stick to a route he's comfortable with since new things can be scary! Porkchop's dream home is one where his humans will keep up with his training and help him build confidence, and give hime time and space to adjust to new things. He's such a sweet buddy who loves belly rubs, attention, and food, and he always gets so excited to see his humans when they come home! If you'd like to be showered with kisses every time you walk through the door, don't sleep on Porkchop! Porkchop's adoption fee is $650.

Story
Say hello to Annie! Annie is a 1 year old German Shepherd mix lady who weighs about 48 pounds. Annie is a sweet, happy, energetic girl! She spends her time playing, running, investigating, eating and snuggling. She loves to cuddle when she's tired at the end of the day. Also, how can you resist those amazing ears! And just wait til you see her bounding around in the snow like a gazelle :) Annie loves all dogs and is very submissive to dogs who are bigger than her. She has done well with respectful kids and loves to meet new people! Anie is potty trained and crate trained, and she knows lots of commands! She is not a fit for a home with smaller animals. She likes to know where her people are and will entertain herself with puzzle toys at your feet as long as she gets to be near you. Did we mention that Annie is super smart? If you are looking for a trainable dog, look no further. She would LOVE to go through a formal training course with her forever family. We think she'd thrive with agility training or nose work classes, too. She's very curious and loves to investigate her surroundings, so she will thrive with mental stimulation! If your home fits the bill and you're up for a fun-loving adventure partner, please apply to meet Annie! **I am participating in the Adoption Extravaganza! My adoption fee is $250**

Story
Do you have a nice comfy bed and warm toastie covers? If so, I may just be your girl! Hi, I'm Lucia! I am a 6 year old, spayed, Bernese Mountain Dog. The first part of my life wasn't great, so my life experience before coming into rescue was very limited. I never knew how big the world was and sometimes it's still very scary for me! Because of this, sometimes I get scared and try to run. However I am working on being a big brave girl, as my foster mom calls me everyday. Everyday I am learning that living in a home as a pet is pretty awesome! Foster mom and I play games to help me adjust, she says she's training me, but am pretty sure I have total control over her... I look at her... food, I walk to her... treats, I lay down to rest... snackies! Some amazing things about me: I can be trusted in the house not to potty or be destructive, as long as I'm given routine trips outside. I'm a quiet girl that could live in an apartment, condo, or home. I could enjoy life with or without another dog, and I am good with cats. I'm good on a leash and am learning that walks allow me to see so much more of the world! I am also happy to explore the backyard! My favorite times are when I get to hang out in the bedroom, laying on the bed, covered up, watching Bluey... top tier! I would love a family that will understand I'm still learning to enjoy life as a pet. It will take me some more time to fully trust the humans in my life. A family that can continue working on my training would be great! And most importantly, I wish for a family that can continue to help me become the big brave girl I know I can be! If you think you are the perfect family for me apply today! Got to go...... my show's on! My adoption fee is $600.

Story
Hi everyone! My name is Ivy! You may have seen my little kids up for adoption recently, those are my Ivy League Graduates! They've all gone onto their furever homes, and now it's my time to graduate from foster care! I am a 3 year old Beagle mix. I weigh about 20lbs. I was not exposed to much before TNT rescued me, see I came from a place that had so many animals they didn't have the time to give us all attention. I really lucked out by being transferred to TNT - many of the other dogs aren't so lucky where I came from. So I am learning the ways of life in my foster home & let me tell you I love this good life! I really enjoy playing with toys and running around the yard! Since I wasn't exposed to much my first years of life, sometimes loud and abrupt movements startle me, but once I take a moment to check out what happened I am okay! I am looking for a furever home who is ready to help me continue to learn the ways of life, and show me everything this beautiful world has to offer. Since I'm still learning about this whole routine of being a dog, I will need a confident dog buddy who can keep teaching me the ways of being a family member. I will also need a fenced yard! I promise in return I'll look into your eye and just by doing that I'll show you how much I love and appreciate you teaching me and giving me a chance to being your most loyal companion! If you're ready to hand me my diploma and give me a furever home, apply to adopt me today! **I am participating in the Adoption Extravaganza! My adoption fee is $250** My adoption fee is $600

Model has the most darling face and the happiest personality! He's a 3.5 year old, 19 pound, Miniature Poodle looking for his forever home! Model coexists wonderfully with other dogs and is good with cat friends! He's cautious but okay with new human friends, including the older children he has met. He's a very smart pupperoni, he's learning lots of commands! He has figured out "no" and he's working on "stay" and "come". He's working on crate training and potty training, too! Model loves attention and follows his foster mom everywhere she goes, happy tail wagging all the way! He also likes to sniff around the yard, trotting along as he investigates all the good scents. Model is hoping his adopter will help him build confidence and give him grace and patience as he continues to learn and gain trust. He'd love to find a calm home with a fenced yard or outdoor space where he can explore freely. If you are ready for an adorable little shadow, Model is right up your alley! Apply today!

Story
If you've fallen in love with this guy's face before learning anything about him we don't blame you. Blitzen is a scruffy stunner for sure. He's a 7 month old mixed large breed puppy who weighs about 50 pounds. He is recovering well from FHO surgery in his foster home and he is looking for a forever family who will help him successfully complete his recovery! Blitzen came to TNT from a very crowded shelter that does the best they can, but many dogs there don't get a chance. Blitzen is happy to have this second chance at getting the vet care he needed and finding his forever family! He's a best friend to every dog he meets, friendly with kids, and shy but friendly with new people. Like any puppy, Blitzen is more naughty when he's bored, so brain games and toys will be key to keeping him mentally stimulated. He really loves his bones and kongs and is a master at stuffy toy destruction, so prepare to raid the clearance bin at your local pet store! This very good puppy is making progress on his puppy manners. He's potty trained and getting used to the idea of being in his crate. He's also working on walking nicely on a leash! One thing he hasn't learned is table manners, and we aren't quite sure how to teach him it's impolite to belch after he eats. So instead, you get to enjoy this little endearing trait :) He will keep his future people on a schedule for morning potty breaks and breakfast! And then he will sing to them about his day, boop them for attention when he needs some love, and snore like a sailor to make sure they remember he's there - even when he's snoozing. What more could you ask for in a forever friend?! If you're looking for big personality wrapped in a Blitzen-sized package, please apply today! Blitzen's adoption fee is $600.
