Story
Minnie ended up at the shelter under bad circumstances that had nothing to do with her. She is a sweet and friendly girl who is around 2 years old. She is up to a happy and healthy weight of 57 pounds after coming into the shelter underweight. She is spayed, Heartworm Negative, and vaccinated with Distemper, Bordatella, and Rabies. Recently Minnie has had a rough time at the shelter. She and one other dog at the shelter didn't get along. That dog ended up breaking out of her pen overnight to attack Minnie. Minnie has now had one toe removed, which has healed up nicely, and her lip is ripped, and is still healing. She is still an absolute sweetheart, who is very patient with being harnessed, and is always so excited to go for a walk. She walks well on a leash and loves being outside. She has been introduced to five of our shelter dogs, and they all did great, but she is selective about who she likes, so will need an intro before going into a home with other pets. She notices cats outside, but is easily redirected to continue on her walk. She’s a happy girl who loves attention, and she’s ready to find a home where she’ll get the love and care she deserves.

Story
Baxter came in as part of an unplanned litter. His mom was a boxer and his dad was an unknown stray. This handsome boy is the only pup left from his litter. He came into the shelter at around two months old back in May, and he's been growing up at the shelter ever since. He's around 8 months old, neutered, heartworm negative, and weighs around 63 pounds. He’s a playful and sweet pup who has been dewormed, treated for fleas, and vaccinated with Distemper, Bordatella, and Rabies. Baxter is an energetic guy who loves going on walks and getting attention. He's been introduced to several different shelter dogs, both male and female, and he's loved every dog and person that he's met so far. He recently had a playdate at the home of a volunteer, and he did great. He loved running around outside with her dog, and when he was brought inside he met some of her cats. After getting swatted at by some of the cats that didn't feel like coming nose to nose with him, he's happy to give them their space. He’s a happy go lucky pup who is ready to grow up in his forever home.

Story
Meet Sid. This sweet and sour boy is quirky, funny, loves to fetch and will be your best friend forever…if he likes you lol! As his foster mom, I find his grouchiness to be sort of a ‘part of his charm’. He loves to snuggle under the covers with me at night. He loves to hide his favorite treats in the sofa and maybe his friend’s treat too! Oops! He loves to go for rides, play dates at the dog park and to get that wonderful pupcup at the end of the outing. Sid LOVES other dogs and gets along great with cats. He loves to play with any dog friend no matter how big or small! He is crate trained and only has a few accidents when its cold and he doesn’t have his sweater on…or want to chill his fancy toes. Unfortunately he is very particular with his people. He is kind of a one ‘woman’ sort of guy who will follow you around everywhere asking you to play with his favorite squid toy. My husband and Sid have a sort of love/hate relationship. He will interact with affection with my husband but has his affection “limit” which is pretty short. This is because lots of chaos and new people just scare him. He doesn’t mean it. I promise. Unfortunately this makes him a challenging placement as he requires a home with no kiddos, preferably no men, and a sort of calm regular routine. If you are willing to put in the time, Sid is a wonderful sweet companion for life. He is a loving sweet boy with such a handsome smile, you just have to win him over. He is very loved and is looking for a home where he doesn’t have a lot of scary small people to navigate and some warm covers to snuggle up under next to you. Please consider giving this boy a chance, with a little effort, he will be your soul dog.

Story
Hello! My name is Spruce. I'm a gentle soul with a heart of gold. I'm 4 years old. I have a whole lot of love to give. And everyone I meet comments on how handsome I am! When I go to my buddy's home, I'm a perfect gentleman. I don't jump on people, I give gentle kisses, and I like to play with toys. I'm learning that things aren't as scary as they may seem, like getting into a car. At first, I just couldn't do it, but now I jump right in. In the car, I sit or lie quietly in the back seat and play with my toys, and I may even snooze if we've had a busy day. One of my favorite activities is going to get a pup cup from Starbucks after a long walk. I am heartworm positive--treatment is handled by VHS once I find my forever home. I'm a happy pup ready for all sorts of adventures!
