Story
Rowan came to TJO as a stray and was very scared of the situation he found himself in. He has opened up to staff and volunteers, making new friends a little faster each time, and is looking forward to finding someone who enjoys long walks AND long movies. OTHER PETS: Rowan would prefer to be an only dog. [Should Be Only Pet]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Rowan would do best with an owner who is comfortable and confident in their dog handling experience.[Some Experience] KIDS: Rowan is wary of new humans and uncomfortable with some aspects of handling. He would do the best in a household of humans who will understand and respect his boundaries. Any minor humans should meet Rowan prior to adoption. [13+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Rowan becomes highly aroused during play but calms quickly; he is young and has a lot of energy - multiple longer walks daily will help Rowan get exercise for his muscles AND his mind. With positive training and support he could excel at other dog sports like lure coursing, agility, weight pulling, dock diving, etc.[Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Rowan build his confidence and bond with his new owner as well as mastering his basic skills and behavorial expectations. Rowan is a dog who will blossom as he gains and reinforces his confidence. [Moderate] GROOMING: [Minimal]April 25, 2024, 4:21 pm

Story
Rylee came to TJO as a stray and immediately began treatment for some skin issues. She has proven to be a friendly, outgoing dog who won't let a little itchiness get her down.OTHER PETS: Rylee is an outgoing dog who absolutely loves inviting her new canine friends to play with her. She is socialble, but might be bothersome to a dog who does not enjoy play. Not good with cats or small animals [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Rylee would be a great dog for a first time owner to take through positive reinforcement training - Rylee and her owner could learn and grow together! [First Dog] KIDS: Rylee enjoys play but settles well, even when she get bouncy zoomies. [Likely (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Rylee enjoys walks and would be a great nature exploration buddy once she develops a walking routine with her new owner. Rylee also enjoys relaxing after she gets her energy out and would not say no to a quality couch snuggle. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Rylee is being treated for skin issues and has been since her arrival. Her condition has improved but has not completely resolved. It is important to bear in mind that these issues could be acute (a reaction to something she encounted in the world that will not reoccur once completely resolved) or chronic (a recurring issue that caused by allergies. [Routine / Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Rylee would benefit from positive reinforcement training to help her bond with her new owner, master basic cues, and reinforce appropriate behavior. She is friendly and outgoing and the mental stimulation of learning new skills would also benefit her. [Minimal] GROOMING: [Minimal] April 25, 2024, 4:21 pm

Story
This mellow girl came to TJO as a stray after being hit by a car. Iceland has recovered nicely and now she is available for adoption. Given Iceland's recent accident, her owner should have a good relationship with a vet to monitor progress, and learn how to identify any signs of pain or discomfort. Signs of pain can include changes in temperament or routine. She is intelligent and alert, but will benefit from positive reinforcement training and patience. She is learning how to walk on a leash and has improved.OTHER PETS: Ok with medium dogs. NO CATS OR SMALLS DOGS OWNER EXPERIENCE: Best suited for an experienced guardian that will help her learn new skills KIDS: Adults Only (She gets mouthy when she is excited) ACTIVITY LEVEL:Good Walking Buddy needs regular exercise, routine, and positive training, May have a high prey driveVETERINARY CARE: Routine LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED:Minimal GROOMING:Minimal April 25, 2024, 4:21 pm

Story
Armani came to TJO as a stray and was excited to make friends with everyone from the moment she came in the door. She has a lot of energy, and likes to sprawl pittie style on cold floors after she gets some good exercise. Armani is looking for someone who will help her be the best dog she can be.OTHER PETS: Armani is very excited to meet other dogs, she pulls toward them but [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Having experience with strong dogs will be useful in ensuring [Some Experience]KIDS: Armani would likely do well with small humans; she has an aversion to being hugged so her best fit would be with small humans old enough to understand and respect her boundaries. [10+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Armani will need to be engaged mentally and physically: multiple walks a day, supervised time in a fenced yard, training to compete in dog sports like fly ball or weight pulling, all are different ways to ensure Armani's needs are met. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Armani bond with her new owner as well as ensuring she knows her basic commands, how to walk on a leash appropriately, and what her behavorial expectations are. Further training will open up doors for more adventurous activities like hiking/camping/dog sports. [Moderate]GROOMING: [Minimal]April 25, 2024, 4:21 pm
