Story
Meet Cady! If you’re looking for a smart, sweet, and sporty companion, then Cady’s the gal for you. Cady is still working on her leash manners, but is very foodie and is making really great progress on her skills using positive reinforcement training. She loves long, sniffy walks (or even runs!), and loves getting silly with toys or playing in the yard.Cady can be on the worried side when it comes to interacting with strangers, so would prefer a quieter, lower-traffic home as she works on building confidence. She lived with children in her previous home, but was worried or overwhelmed during some interactions with them, so she would do best in an adult-only home.Cady doesn’t have experience living with another dog, but could do well with a well-matched dog companion with a slow intro. She says no thank you to living with cats, please!Cady often starts off a little cautious, but give her time and a cozy spot to settle in and you’ll see her sweet and loving personality shine!

Meet our resident big boy Jason! His favorite things are sniffywalks, zooming around in a yard, his people, and treats. Jason loves toplay and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for a hiker,runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors. While he has lived with kids in his previous home, he is a big rowdy guy, so kids on the older or sturdier side could be a good fit.
