Reo is a handsome and lovable boy who is crate trained and potty trained. He is loves the water and enjoys playing tug of war! He can get vocal during playtime, but don't worry-it's all just his way of having fun! He has great leash skills and enjoys going for walks. Reo is all about the snuggles. He loves rolling around on the ground or bed for belly rubs and has the cutest snorts when he's happy. One of his favorite things to do is perform a somersault onto your lap for some extra snuggles and belly rubs. Reo does need to be in a no cat household. If you're looking for a playful, loving, and well-mannered dog, Reo is the one for you!

Pilot first came to the shelter as a tiny pup and is, sadly, back again due to no fault of her own. She's now a year old and 38 pounds of pure love! This girl definitely believes she's a lap dog, and she's so cute!! Who wouldn't want her in their lap?!?! Pilot is people and kid friendly and enjoys meeting new people. In the words of her foster mom, she is also a "supreme lover and giver of all the kisses!!" This young lady is also dog AND cat friendly, crate trained and house trained. Could she be any more perfect?!!? She would love a forever home with someone who truly appreciates all of the love and snuggles she has to give.

Story
Doo-da, a 3-year-old handsome boy, has been living in a foster home since November of last year. His foster parents trust him to roam freely when they are away because he is well-behaved and non-destructive. He is also comfortable being in a crate when needed. Doo-da is a gentle boy who does so well after slow introductions. He adores his smaller dog siblings. His closest canine companion is a 20-pound bundle of joy. He needs a house with older or no children, and he is dog friendly and cat agnostic (slightly interested but can be redirected). Also, Doo-da loves walkies and just running around the backyard tracking the squirrels and trying to catch them by jumping in the air toward the tree limbs, lol. Neutered, house-trained, intelligent, eager to please, and a total sweetheart, Doo-da is a wonderful companion who is ready to find his forever home.
