Story
I got Tex from a friend who recently had a baby. He was with a couple and he was great with them. He is still playful, but he does not quite know his own strength. Around young children he can get a little rough with play, so he is better with older children. He is 3 years old. I would like a new home that would be able to handle a big dog. He listens to owners and likes to stay close to you. He likes to take walks and car rides.

Story
Crue is 3. Loves to cuddle. Smart, and loving dog. We are working a lot of hours and can't give her the attention she deserves. She loves to play ball, fetch and go on walks and rides. We got her when our daughter's dog had her one and only litter. Crue loves to play and would benefit from being active and a fenced yard to run in even though she's an inside dog

Story
Well hello there!!! I am Harley and I am 2.5 years old! I love to cuddle, but watch your face because I will give you all the kisses I can! I am a wiggly, goofy girl who loves to play. I like to go outside and explore on walks. I am very food and treat motivated. I am a good girl but can seem kind of shy at first, so treats are a good way to my heart (and my belly). I would love for you to take me outside and play with me and get to know me! I am currently in a foster home! Here is what my foster mama says about me:"I’m a sweet, goofy, laid back girl who’s looking for a home with lots of snuggly blankets where I can feel safe while I learn to be a dog again ❤️My foster family doesn’t know my story but they understand that I need a quiet, predictable environment with lots of love to help me come out of my shell. I’m about two years old so please understand I’m still learning a lot about the world, and I’m in search of a confident pack leader to help me explore everything that I’m so curious about! When I’m feeling comfortable and energetic, my young, silly personality starts to come out, and I love to jump around and play with my ball! I’ve heard that I have cat-like hops too 😏 I can easily transition from play time to chill time and I would love to nap with you. I’m a very food motivated gal who is eager to learn as long as you’re patient with me. I’m currently practicing proper manners with my foster mom and progressing well! Mom says I’m very smart and lets me solve lots of treat puzzles! When I’m happy and wanting attention I like to plop down on your lap and give kisses so be ready! I’m cat friendly but would be best getting acclimated to a confident cat who is willing to meet me and show me the boundaries. I love to play with my toddler foster sibling, however I think I would appreciate older, more predictable children to help me adjust into a proper feeling of security and safety. I’m very dog friendly/curious and can get frustrated when I can’t meet another friend. I would love an older balanced dog to show me the ropes! I do well in the car, and I am crate trained and do very well overnight!"To meet Harley, an appointment needs to be scheduled if you would like to come and meet her. This will occur at the shelter during business hours.

Hi, I'm Callie and I'm 5 years old! I'm a sweet, social girl that loves people. I am very energetic and playful - I love to play all the time! I know my basic manners and walk well on a leash.

Story
Hi guys! I'm Max and I'm 1.5 years old! I am a super sweet guy that will require both physical and mental stimulation to keep me the happiest and healthiest boy! I am a loyal, energetic and and highly intelligent guy that learns super quick, especially when it comes to treats! I do have some herding behavior in me and will do best with a yard to give me that space to run it off! Because of this tendency, a home without young children or cats would be best unless you are experienced and know how to correct this behavior if it pops up. Now that we're past all the boring stuff, I am SUPER goofy and love to play! Water doesn't really seem to bother me, and I have the best time with toys! Once my energy is appeased, I love to come to you for cuddles and big nap! I hope you'll come out to meet me soon!Some quick facts about me: Not Cat Friendly (will chase)Dog SelectiveKid Friendly (over 5) Likely housetrainedIntelligent, loyal friend!
