Athena

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, Adult

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hello, my name is Athena! I am an adorable and sweet Shepherd, looking for my forever home. I'm still young and have TONS of energy to around. Us Shepherds are highly active dogs, but smart as whips. I tend to let my excitement get the best of me sometimes, and it results in me jumping up to say hi hi hi, while putting my mouth on you because I just don't know where to put all this fun energy! I hate to toot my own horn though, but I'm quite the smart girl, and I'll do just about anything for a treat, especially if you're patient and help teach me to sit for some human interaction, instead of jumping all over. I do have a bit of anxiety, more so when I'm left home alone and feel like I'm by myself. I like other respectful and friendly dog friends, and this seems to help me feel more comfort when my humans leave the house. I am crate trained and need this in the home otherwise I might chew a bit, it's just my way of relieving stress when my favourite person is gone. So it's safe to say I will need a human that has lots of time to dedicate, and work on all the training I will need. I do well with cats, and I like kids too, though older/more sturdy ones would be best just to my habit of jumping up and getting nippy for attention. So, if you have a suitable dog friend (as it's mandatory I go home with one), and the time to dedicate to a smart cookie like me, then I cannot wait to meet you! I'm a fantastic adventure buddy and overall great companion, and anybody would be lucky to have a gal like me in their life!

Story

Hello there, I'm Mac! I'm a friendly, curious, and playful fella, with a heart as big as my personality. I'm a bit of a goofball, but hey, who isn't? I can smell a treat from a mile away, and I can hear a can opener from even farther. My tail wags at the speed of light!My leash manners could use a little polish, but I promise I'm a quick learner. So, why should you adopt me? Well, I'm a sweet, loving guy who's always up for an adventure. I promise to keep you laughing and fill your life with unconditional love. Remember, a house is not a home without a dog, and I'd love to be your Mac!

Beagle Mixed Breed (Medium)

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hello, my name is Polly! I am a young Beagle looking for my forever home! I am bonded with my pal, Perdita. You see, without her around, I'm a bit nervous and looking for her, so it's best us girls stick together!We are looking for an active household that will do fun things with us, and give us lots of love. We are hoping for a home where we are the only pets to get lots of love, and a fun fenced yard to run around and explore in. I also LOVE being outdoors, so a yard for me to sunbathe in will be important. I have been known to be a bit shy with new people, more so men, so this is something I may need work on. Don't worry though, I don't really have a mean bone in my body and would rather avoid scary people, though some yummy treats do help! My sis and I however LOVE children, so a home with kiddos would be fine with us! We are young, fun, happy go lucky girls, and know we will make someone very very happy! We have been looking for our forever home for a while now, and the nice people here have waived our adoption fee to find us the perfect home!

Story

Hi, I'm Perdita, a gentle soul with a curious nose. As you can see, I am pretty tight with my bestie Polly. So tight in fact that we need to get adopted together. When we are apart we get really upset and cry and scream for each other. Its really pathetic actually but we cant help it. We are besties.Since I'm a beagle, my sense of smell is my superpower. I love exploring new scents and going on sniffing adventures. I'm sweet and friendly, always ready to greet you with a wagging tail. Though I might seem indifferent at times, it's just my laid-back nature. I promise I'm just as excited to see you. My gentle demeanor makes me a great companion for anyone. It's best I go to a home with no other animals, and a fenced yard as me and my sis love the space to sniff! If you're looking for a loyal friend who will always be there for you, then I'm your girl. Adopt me and let's start our adventure together! We have been looking for our forever home for a while now, and the nice people here have waived our adoption fee to find us the perfect home!

Story

Hi there, I'm Max. My age has given me wisdom and a love for the simple things in life. I'm a sweet, friendly soul, always curious about the world around me. I can be a bit goofy at times, but that's part of my charm. I'm smart too, always eager to learn new things. Cuddles? Oh, I'm a big fan! I'm just a sweet and happy medium energy guy!I've never met a cat before, so the people here aren't sure how I would do with them, and I prefer to be the only dog in the house. I've never been around kids either, but I'm such a friendly guy, so I would probably be ok with dog savvy children. Walking me might be a workout, I do love to pull on the leash. Apartments aren't really my style, I could run into another dog in those narrow hallways and I'd really rather not do that. I need space to roam and sniff. I am a Special Paws pet in the Signature Pets Program because I have allergies that will likely require some extra care to keep under control and managed. Since I am a Special Paws pet, my adoption fee is up to you!Adopt me, and I promise to fill your life with laughter, love, and endless curiosity.

Story

*ruff ruff ruff!!!!* HELLLLLO! *ruff ruff ruff! MY NAME IS LUTHERAN! But you can call me Luther, Luthey, whatever you think is cute for a handsome lad like myself. I don't mean to yell at you!!! But I am just a loud, energetic guy!! I tend to bark a lot when meeting new people or other doggos. I just have a lot to say, and have to voice my opinion and scope things out first. I think because of this, an apartment-type environment for me wouldn't be super ideal, I'm sure your neighbours won't think my singing voice is as pretty as I do! I'm an Underdog because I'm a very high energy boy, and like to voice my opinion. I'm looking for an understanding home, which my adoption fee is up to you!I am hoping for a home that can work on some proper training for me. I'm a bit of a wild child, but I'm a super fun guy! I also LOVE to be loved by my favourite people, and would love an active lifestyle where I will get lots of exercise and fun activities! It's best that I be the only dog in the home, I like all of the attention to be on me.I cannot wait for my new home!See Lutheran on Tiktok! https://tinyurl.com/swntbvkf
