Story
My foster mom says the best adjectives for me are: Gentle. Sweet. Sleepy. I've been sleeping through the night in bed with my foster parents, not having any accidents! During the day when I'm awake I need to go outside a lot to avoid accidents in the house but I'm still so young that will improve with time! I have my moments when I am all puppy play and teeth but thats normal! Just give me a toy and play with me and I'll be happy as a clam!

Story
Howard is as charming as his namesake — minus the astronaut suit! This brindle boy is new to the shelter and still learning the ropes, but his sweet personality shines through. He loves attention, enjoys exploring, and just needs a bit of training to help him reach his full potential. Howard is looking for someone patient and kind who can help him build confidence and discover that the world isn’t such a scary place. If you’re ready for an adventure partner who’s as lovable as he is handsome.

💛 About Me: I may be a little shy at first, but once I warm up, you’ll see my gentle, loving side. I’ve had a rough start, but I’m ready to find a home where I can feel safe and loved. I do best with calm voices and a little patience — and in return, I’ll give you my whole heart. 🐕 I’m great at sitting quietly and watching the world around me. I’d love a family who can help me build confidence and show me what it means to be part of a home.

Story
I spent 4 weeks at Mossy Oak Kennels for training with Mark Ferrell! I have lots of energy and even more love to give! I enjoy the company of other dogs when given proper introductions, I could play for hours! I really hate being at the shelter, and I dream of a family of my very own.
