Story
Hi! I'm Nutmeg and I'm a girls girl through and through! As long as I've had my outside time then I will be the biggest snuggle bug. I was a shy girl in the beginning of being at my foster home, but I've met so many new friends I'm such a social party pup! I LOVE other dogs and would be great for a dog looking to get some good rough playtime and snuggle after. I enjoy fenced parks or yards so I have a domain to sniff around and get some zoomies in!:)I am estimated to be around 2 years old. I have not yet met cats so I'm not sure how I would do with them. I've recently met a couple of small kiddos! Them and I get along great, but when I do get a case of the zoomies I get a little rambunctious and run into things...and people... clumsy me! I would be a perfect fit for any home as I am potty trained to a T (I know right ) and will love on any human possible. My current foster mom is working on loose leash and recall training with me and I will say I'm doing pretty good! Alright that's all for me, once I nail this training and get more comfortable in my foster home, I will update!!  ##2833803##

Story
Super friendly and such a cuddle bug! Churro has yet to meet someone who isn't a friend. She does well with cats and dogs, walks really well on the leash, and is house trained. She absolutely loves lounging on the couch or going for a walk! As long as she is with her people shes plenty happy. She isnt the biggest fan of being left alone and does voice her opinion on it but has made lots of progress getting used to the kennel! She likes to sleep tucked in the bed right next to her person. She loves to sit outside and people watch and would love a balcony/porch/yard where she could hang out and watch what was happening outside. She loves to play with toys and has found that empty milk jugs make the best toy but also loves her plush squeaky toys.  ##2853466##

Story
ADORABLE DOGGIE ALERT: Meet Sprout!  Sprout is a 4 year old female pure bred Giant Schnauzer. She has participated in obedience classes, Rally Obedience and she has attempted scent training (which she did not seem to have an interest in). She attended a 2 week stay and train program. She is a loving dog, but would do best as an only pet. While she does enjoy playing with dogs for short periods, she ultimately will resource guard things, including water or even her favorite humans. While she has never shown this behavior with humans, it is peristent with other pets. Sprout does have a high prey drive and is not recommended with cats or other small animals.  She will need a person who is familiar with her breed, working dog breeds or large dog breeds. She enjoys obedience training (she will work for treats!), but needs consistency. She also enjoys hiking and lakes. She is able to work her way out of a wire crate, so a large kennel is ideal for her. Her previous environment was an indoor/outdoor kennel with a fenced in yard. She cannot be left uncrated as she will destroy furniture. Despite this challenge with her crate, she is an absolute love bug who thrives on human attention.  She needs someone who is willing to provide love and attention, physical exercise and will consistently challenge her intelligence to prevent boredom. She will try to convince you that she is a lap dog. Due to her size and energy level, small children would not be recommended.  ##1697990##

Story
Briar is an 8-month-old boy with equal parts brains, goofball, and bundle of joy. He's smart as a whip, loves to play, and has a silly personality that keeps everyone laughing. Whether he's exploring, learning new tricks, or zooming around the yard, he's always up for the next adventure. Now all he's missing is his forever family — someone ready to laugh, explore, and grow with him. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick with a big heart and even bigger personality, this sweet boy might just be your perfect match. Fully vetted. Up to date on shots, neutered, and microchipped.Potty trained Gets very excited, is working on learning to not jump up & has boundaries issues (don't we all). Because of this and his expected size when fully grown, he would not be a good choice for a home with young children or an apartment complex. ##2620510##

Story
Meet Twister .. he is a handsome 12 year old Chihuahua mix who is looking for a forever home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love. This sweet senior boy is friendly with other dogs and would love a place where he can enjoy the simple things in life .. a cozy bed, a soft lap, and lots of cuddles. Twister is a spunky and bold little dude who doesn't like to take no for answer .. he loves to do zoomies and does this adorable hop when he is happy. Twister has a healthy appetite albeit no teeth due to a recent dental and needs to be on soft food because of it. Unlike most of his breed he is friendly and quiet.Twister may be in his golden years, but he has so much love to give and is looking for the special person who can give him just that. ##2853366##

Story
Mac is a playful, energetic, and lovable puppy with a big personality! He loves to play and explore, but he also enjoys his downtime. One hour he’s full of energy, and the next he’s curled up taking a nap. Mac is extremely social and gets along great with both people and other pets. So far, he hasn’t met a person he doesn’t like! He is also doing very well with potty training and is mostly house-trained, with only the occasional accident. Mac would make a wonderful addition to a loving home! ##2853331##
