Story
We have made the heartbreaking decision to rehome our family dog, Cosmo. We have had Cosmo since he was 8 weeks old he is now 4 years old. Unfortunately, Cosmo is very anxious around our toddler and our family is growing again, and we need to find a home for Cosmo where he can get the love and attention he deserves. Cosmo is a GSP/Poodle mix who is hypoallergenic, neutered, up to date on all his shots, crate-trained, house-trained, and has his basic commands down, in addition to solid leash recall. Cosmo is a super smart, affectionate, athletic dog. He loves to go for romps in the woods and picks up any kind of training extremely easily. He loves humans and is very friendly. We are so sad to have to make this decision, but we know that Cosmo will add lots of joy to any home and are hopeful that we will find the right people for Cosmo's second act.

Story
Hi! I'm Tootie, a 1.5-year-old female hound mix. I'm about 43 pounds and am up to date on all my vaccinations. I am playful and affectionate. I love giving kisses to everyone I meet! I'm great with dogs and love going to the dog park and daycare. I'd love to have another dog to play with me in my new house, but would be fine alone as long as you're around to play with me. My previous family loved me very much, but unfortunately I didn't get along well with their kitten. As a hound, I'm very prey-driven and like to chase cats and small animals. They're heartbroken to see me go but know I deserve a home where I can be my happy-go-lucky self! I hope it won't be long before I find my forever family. I'm available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Story
My name is Kronos and I am a 2 1/2 year-old black nose/mountain Curr male. I’m a very friendly and happy-go-lucky guy when I’m comfortable in my surroundings. I have a great time playing with other dogs in the doggie park. I am a lovable and affectionate dog to my people and protective of them as well. I love their love and affection, I love going out on walks and being involved in outside activities. I’m a little overweight, so I need to get a lot more outside activity into my schedule. My dad just doesn’t have the time anymore to give me the activity and time that I need. I love to go on car rides because I am timid, meeting new people I am best with a dog experienced individual. I am available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Story
We got Tilly as a rescue a while back when we had a huge house with a big yard. Now we live in a small apartment and it's just not working out as we hoped. She loves people but takes a little while to warm up to dogs if she's on-leash. Great inside the fence at dog parks!
