Story
Ahna had been with me since a puppy. I purchased her from a friend who had a pure litter. Service animal well trained. Ahna will be 5 in March. No litters never have been aggressive. Excellent with kids. She loves to swim and play with her ball. I am looking for someone who will have the time and patience to take care and love on her she is very family oriented and loves attention. She has traveled across state and does great in the car. House trained & loves to speak. Very adventurous and loves to be outdoors. I have had her on a natural diet but she does eat regular dog food on occasions preferably Ol’Roy to prevent coat from breaking out. She loves the outdoors very energetic even at her age now. Overall a great dog and companion. Ahna knows several commands and does great off leash. Very friendly around other dogs and other animals.

Story
Simone is a sweet, playful dog who deserves more time and attention than I can give as a busy mom of five. She loves toys, dog parks, and anything involving water, and she thrives with people who enjoy an active lifestyle and who can spoil her with lots of time, treats, cuddles, and drives in the car. I am taking my time to find her a loving, stable home where she will be cared for, included, and truly happy. If you are interested, please reach out and tell me about your home so I can make sure she finds the right fit. She comes with all her things. Crate ( her room), feeding bowls, bedding etc

Story
*Woof* I`m in a foster home. To meet me reach out to my foster caregiver at kwhittier@humanerescuealliance.org.Grizzy’s journey has been incredible. When she first came to us through our Animal Protection Team, we weren’t sure if she’d even be able to walk. She had been kept in a crate almost 24/7, in her own waste, and was underweight with painful open sores on her paws. With love, patience, and the incredible HRA medical team, Grizzy has made remarkable progress. Her paws have healed and she quickly learned how to run, pounce, and play like the puppy she is. She’s discovering the big, wide world outside of that crate—and she loves every moment of it!About Grizzy:Grizzy is an 8-month-old white and gray puppy with striking gray eyes and a stunning, soft coat. She’s as beautiful on the outside as she is resilient on the inside.What Grizzy is Like:Extremely affectionate and loves to cuddleHappiest as your loyal shadow around the houseThrives on reassurance and human connection, she especially loves womenLoves playing and meeting other dogsVery responsive to treat trainingEnjoys walks, especially when she can proudly carry a stickQuick to learn potty trainingPlayful puppy fun, playing fetch and getting new toys (now that she knows what toys are)Blossoming and becoming more joyful every dayGrizzy would thrive in a home that offers:Humans who love snuggles and companionshipPatience as she continues building confidenceHappy to be your only pet or having a fur sibling (a big bonus for her!)An affectionate, supportive environment where she can keep growingGrizzy has already overcome so much. She has healed so well that our medical team do not foresee any long lasting health issues or concerns. Now she’s ready for the joyful, secure future she deserves. Could you be the family to give Grizzy the joyful home she deserves? Reach out to Grizzy`s foster caregiver and come meet this sweet, playful, and resilient girl today!

*Woof* I`m in a foster home! To meet me, reach out to my foster caregiver at holstine.kyle@gmail.comAthena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, and our Athena is just as magical. She is SOOOO SWEET! She is so much fun to walk and play with. And when it comes time to snuggle, well this gorgeous pup leans right in and practically melts in your arms. So many volunteers really love this doggie, and you will too. She is such a dream dog, but she needs to be the only pet in a home....and honestly, she`s all the pet you need! please. Ready for a new best friend in your heart and home? Athena is waiting for you!! PS- Athena did so well in her temporary foster home. She`s so loving and cuddly. She enjoys playing with her toys and going on walks, walking at an easy pace. She’s very friendly with other people inside and outside the home. For the most part, she has a very chill and loving personality and just wants to be close to her people all the time.

Story
*Woof* I`m in a foster home! Email my foster caregiver to meet me: kimseidl@proton.me And Amazon Prime is sponsoring my adoption fees!Tater Tot is a goofy girl who is always down for both a cuddle on the couch and a long walk. This affectionate girl really loves people and is very well-mannered. She is house trained and crate trained with a happy, waggy tail that is constantly in motion. She`s sweet and calm, and will lay on the couch snoozing all day if you work from home with her. She rarely barks, making her a great apartment dog. She has done well when left alone.Tater Tot thinks she`s a lap dog, so be sure to make room on the couch (and your lap!) for this little warming blanket. Given the chance, she`ll bring you oodles of comfort and fun! Please contact her foster to learn more about sweet, friendly Tater Tot.
