Story

Meet Paulie! This brave little pup is full of energy and ready to find his forever home. Paulie is a fast runner who loves playing with his foster brother and has a curious spirit, he especially enjoys watching the backyard chickens! Paulie is a quick learner who is currently working on his "come," "sit," "stay," and "place" commands. He has a great appetite and is making excellent progress with house training; while he started with potty pads and will use one on occasion , he is now doing almost all of his business outside. At night, he sleeps quietly in his kennel in his foster mom's room. If you are looking for a smart, adventurous, and sweet companion, Paulie might be the perfect match! All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story

Irene is an approximate 4 year old Staffy, terrier, boxer plus mix. She is a great people dog. She is house broke, knows basic commands, does well on a lead, crate trained, doesn't wreck anything in the house. She enjoys car rides, walks, treats, toys, being outside and loves to snuggle with her person. She can be awkward and shy in new situations. She gets along with male dogs and enjoys playing with them. She no longer gets along with our other female dog. She is good with cats, chickens and small farm animals. Irene is a medium energy dog and does get the zoomies, especially outside. It would be great to have a yard for her. She is good with routine and attention. Irene does have seasonal allergies, most likely to ragweed. Over the counter allergy relief tends to keep it in check. That is late summer into fall. She is up to date on her vaccinations. She is a good companion.

Story

Age: 3 yr Weight: 51 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Yes, Older/considerate kids Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Does well being left loose in the home Adoption fee: $325 Meet Zena! Zena is a 3‑year‑old pit bull/bully mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. This affectionate, loyal girl will surprise you with her wit, athleticism, and curiosity. She loves to swim (yes, really!), go for walks, ride in the car (she’s handled several road trips!), and romp around with other pups at the dog park. Zena also enjoys snuggling up with her human(s), napping with a bone, and watching the world go by through the windows of her home. Playful and bright, Zena loves learning new things - especially when treats are involved. She’s always up for fun and adventure, whether joining you on a hike or curling up beside you after a long day. She’s at her best when she can roam freely around the house. Zena alternates between sleeping with her human(s) and curling up on the couch or in her own bed. She has a history of separation anxiety, but since starting the right medication and working with a behaviorist, she’s improved immensely. Zena needs slow introductions - with plenty of treats - when strangers enter the home (she’s comfortable meeting new people in public). She may be nervous at first, but it doesn’t take long for her to warm up and form a deep, trusting bond. Her new family will also receive support from her behaviorist during the transition to her new home. Zena is an adaptable, loving companion who’s ready to share her enthusiasm and affection with a family that will cherish her playful spirit and loyal heart.
