Story
You wouldn't think as much personality and joyfulness could fit into a wiggly and happy 32-pound, 8-month-old good girl, but Juniper is proof that it can! She is so lovable and believes she is a lap dog! Snuggling seems to be a part of her DNA! Juniper has done quite well with dogs who are playful and neutral! When she's seen dogs who are happy-go-lucky, she mirrors their happy-go-luckiness! We've noticed her preference is handsome male dogs! If kiddos in the home are about 8ish and up, we think she'd love to be their fursister! Going for walks and car rides, cuddling, and running are a few of her favorite activities. Tennis balls and stuffed animals are her choice of toys but blankies are always #1 in Juniper's mind. She loves them! She's such a smart girl! Juniper knows how to sit, lay down, come and stay. She also is a great fetch-player! A home without kitty friends would make her happiest! Juniper is spayed; come adopt her!

Story
New friends! I'm so excited! Hiii! I'm Zoey! I'd like to take a quick second to brag about my house manners and polite behavior...I am perfect in my crate! I do wonderful at being house-trained. I know how to sit, come, stay and lay down. I'll do anything for a treat and, let me tell you, I sure am dialed in when I sniff something tasty! Car rides are awesome. Hanging with other friendly dog friends is a whole heap of fun, too! I am thrilled every time you ask me if I want to go for a walk. Chewing on bones and hard toys is also a favorite past-time of mine. Let's go back to chatting about walkies...daily walkies and healthy diet will be very important for whoever adopts me to ensure. I weigh 106 pounds and am probably around 25-30 pounds overweight. It would be so much better for me to be at a proper weight while still receiving all the nutrients I need. Can you help me get there? I like when people around me are calm. I'd prefer any kiddos in the home to be about 10ish and up. I haven't seen kitty friends but I will soon and I can let you know. Being around people makes me so happy. I am not a huge cuddler but I do like to have company. My personality is happy and joyful. Can we become a family? I am about six years old and I'm spayed. Love, Zoey.

Story
Happy-go-lucky" is one of the best ways we can think to describe Passionfruit. She's a pup who is a total blast to play with but then she is content to snug right in next to you once inside. She likes to climb onto soft blanket piles and have her stuffie accompany her. She is just TOO CUTE. Passion Fruit has flourished around handsome boy dogs who are easy-going and happy-go-lucky. The happier, the better! She also is content to be the only pup, too! She asks for a home without kitty friends and we think kiddos should be about 10ish and up. Meeting new people sometimes can make Passionfruit nervous. That being said, at one point, we were all new to her and look how amazing she is with us! Once she knows and trusts someone, she shows off all the love that she has. We love her so much. She is about one year old, is 52-pounds and she is spayed.

Story
Handsome. H-A-N-D-S-0-M-E. HANDSOME, WOW! Meet Groot. This thick boy is 82 pounds and has the most gentle treat-taking manners we've seen! He barely touches the hand of whoever is holding the treat and he knows how to sit and wait and be so polite by not jumping on people. Groot is a friendly social butterfly. And he loves having his picture taken! He sees the camera and it's almost like he strikes a pose! As far as other furry friends go, he has enjoyed time at the shelter with high-energy, playful pups like himself! He also re-directed nicely when he saw kitty friends and really didn't show much interest in them. We think kiddos about 10ish and up would be best because he's just a big dude! One of the best things about Groot is how smooshy his face is. He sometimes snorts he is sniffing; only furthering his smooshy cuteness. Overall, he's one of those likeable, endearing, eager-to-please good dogs. He is about two years old and is neutered. Groot is waiting for you!

Story
If you like adventures and are hoping to find a dog who equally loves adventures...Zac is the good boy for you! He is such a well-behaved car rider, too, so that makes him easy to take along with! Zac loves to just be near people. And one of his favorite things is to sit and relax on a couch with his toy. Zac takes treats so politely and he knows how to sit, too. In his previous home, he was an A+ student with being house-trained as well as not being destructive when he was left alone. And talk about being an awesome furbrother! Zac has lived with respectful kiddos and other furry friends, too. We are getting a better idea of his behavior with shelter dogs and cats but think he could do quite well with each given a proper introduction. Zac weighs 59 pounds, is about three years old and he is neutered. He is the sweetest prince!

Story
Holly is a winter-wonderland-loving, snowball-catching, outdoorsy and adventure-seeking girl. If you're looking for a dog to accompany you on all of your experiences, you need Holly. Her energy level is awesome. Holly is happy to be chasing a squeaky toy or a tennis ball for as long as someone will throw it. And the weather sure doesn't deter this girl! The snowier it is, the happier she seems! And speaking of Holly being happy...when she is playing with a toy in the yard, sometimes she doesn't even need you to throw it for her! She will toss the toy up in the air and all over in the yard and chase it herself. She is hilarious! Holly is an independent but also interactive girl. What we mean is that she is totally capable of going exploring on her own but she is happy to be with people, too. The best of both worlds! We still need to observe her around dogs and cats and can let you when we do. Kiddos should be about 8ish and older for Holly to be most comfortable. She is about three years old and is spayed! Adopt Holly!
