Story
Walter is a loving, loyal dog with a big personality. He loves being with his people, whether he’s playing outside, going for walks, or curling up on the couch for a snuggle. He’s energetic, affectionate, and always wants to be part of the family. Walter can be anxious in new situations and has a bit of a cantankerous side, so he does best with patient owners who understand his boundaries and can provide consistency and reassurance. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet, goofy, and devoted personality shines through. Walter is overall a wonderful dog with so much love to give. We’re looking for a home that will appreciate his unique personality and give him the time, patience, and affection he deserves. In return, he’ll be a loyal companion and a loving member of the family.

Story
Hubert is a loving, affectionate St. Berdoodle looking for the right forever home. He loves playing fetch, going for walks, and curling up for cuddles. He's energetic, goofy, and happiest when he's with his people. After a good play session, he's content to relax by your side.We have a young child and can no longer give Hubert the love and attention that he deserves. We're committed to finding the best match for him and we believe he'd do best in a home without young children and preferably as the only pet or with an experienced owner who can manage introductions and high-value items.This is an incredibly difficult decision, and our priority is finding Hubert a safe, loving home where he can thrive. If you think you may be the right fit, we'd love to tell you more about this wonderful dog.

Story
Sulli is 3years old and came from a family in Massachusetts with 2 little kids, so he is great with kids. He is potty, crate and house trained. I started him in a basic training class and he’s been very good a learning new commands we are still working on not pulling on walks. Like any dog he’s the best when he’s tired, he needs an active home. He’s a great hiker, runner, and friend. He’s good with most people (some men not so much) and most dogs he good with (a few will cause a reaction but it just barking from not being able to say hi) he loves the dog park and we haven’t had issues there.

Story
Sadie is a rescue dog. The shelter she was adopted from did not know her history other than she came from the South somewhere. She is 11 years old - we think - (vet's estimate). She is a sweet dog, loves attention, riding in my truck, ice cream, and the neighbor kids when they take care of her for me. Inside she is calm and well behaved. Outside she is a "puller", wanting to explore everything and follow every scent. Being elderly, I feel she needs a home with room to play and run, as I am unable to do that with her. As I age, as a retired firefighter with some health issues from the job, I worry that I will not be able to continue to take care of her. She is very sharp and alert, and obviously needs - and deserves - more activity and attention than I can give her. She acts like a much younger dog, and I want her to be able to have fun and enjoy a more active and interesting lifestyle. She received a good health report last month at her annual check-up.

Story
Everybody meet Bunnie!! This little sweetie is up for adoption and is super loving. She loves people and other dogs. She keeps her kennel really clean so we think she will be easy to housetrain. Bunnie has mid level energy and is around 40 pounds. We just don't know why she has been overlooked for so long! If you are interested in meeting Bunnie, please fill out an adoption application at animalrescuefoundation.org/adoptionapplication and we will give you a call when we have processed your application.
