Story
Meet Thor! Thor is a 1-year-old bundle of energy who lives life in fast-forward. This playful, high-energy guy is always ready to go and thrives on action, interaction, and anything that keeps him moving. If you’re looking for a dog who brings enthusiasm to everything he does, Thor might be your kind of adventure buddy. Thor is extremely food-motivated, treats are his absolute favorite, and he will happily seek them out any chance he gets. Because of that, he often shows interest during training sessions and does best when he has something constructive to focus on. When he’s feeling playful, Thor can be a bit mouthy, but this is reduced when his mouth (and brain!) are occupied with toys, treats, or training activities. He’s still learning his manners and will benefit from continued positive training to help channel all that excitement. On walks, Thor pulls on leash and will need ongoing work on leash skills. With consistent structure, outlets for his energy, and continued training, Thor has all the makings of an incredibly fun, engaging companion for an active home that’s ready to keep up with him.   Thor at a Glance Age: 1 year old Personality: High energy, playful, enthusiastic Training: Very food-motivated; working on mouthiness and leash manners Favorite Activities: Playing, enjoying tasty treats, staying busy, and being on the move ##2596615##

Story
Meet Hotch! Hotch is a 1.5-year-old bundle of brains, energy, and charm who’s always ready to make the most of his day. This sweet, friendly boy loves being around people and enjoys having something to do, especially if treats are involved! He’s a smart pup who already knows sit and is eager to show it off when snacks are on the line. Hotch is happiest when he’s outdoors, taking in all the smells and stretching his legs. He loves running around, playing ball, and romping through the snow like it’s the best thing ever. Walks are one of his favorite activities too, though he can pull on leash when excitement takes over, so continued work on leash skills will help him settle into a nice walking rhythm. This energetic guy also has a bit of an adventurous streak and has shown some escape-artist tendencies, so he’ll do best with mindful supervision and an environment that helps keep him safe while he explores. Hotch can also experience some separation anxiety and will appreciate a home that can offer consistency, reassurance, and positive outlets to help him feel comfortable when alone. With his affectionate nature, playful spirit, and love for learning, Hotch is ready to bring a lot of fun, and a lot of heart to his forever home!   Hotch at a Glance Age: 1.5 years old Personality: Sweet, friendly, smart, and energetic Training: Knows sit, working on leash manners Favorite Activities: Playing, running around outside, playing in the snow ##2605562##
