Story
We are seeking a new home for Lily as she is struggling to adapt to her new human sibling. She is incredibly loving and affectionate! She loves nothing more than to snuggle in and lick your face. She loves having her ears and her white spot scratched almost as much as she loves to swim or chew a bone. She thrives on time outside, playing tug, and running at the dog park. Lily has a history of anxiety and resource guarding, and takes a daily anxiety pill. We got her from a shelter as a puppy, and she has some shelter quirks. Her ideal home would be somewhere she could snooze all day, then walk and play in the evening, preferably in a fenced-in yard. She will do best with no other animals and no children. She can be leash reactive, but typically does great on walks. She is vocal, so someone who is unbothered by barks would be great for her. She loves to cuddle, but usually only on her terms; we describe her as a "cat of a dog" in that way. In short, Lily is sweet, stubborn, and clever.

Lola is a five year old lab-pit mix that we adopted as a puppy. She was part of an accidental litter (farm dogs). She is high energy and great with children. Great for someone who is active and needs a work out partner. Great home protector. She is micro-chipped and fixed. Up to date on shots. Crate trained and can be left alone while at work or school. She’s a great family pet.

Meet Turkey, a delightful puppy with the most kissable face.  This sweet, cuddly, and goofy pup is not only playful and independent but also friendly and smart, already mastering the art of sitting nicely for treats. Turkey is eager to learn more tricks and find a forever home where his joyful spirit can continue to shine. He gets along with dogs, cats, chickens, and all humans. His 3 favorite places to be are right next to you, outside, or waiting by his treat container. He's been busy with his potty training and needs to go out on a schedule or in his kennel, where he has never had an accident. The kennel is not his favorite place, but he does settle down after a bit. Adopt Turkey and let his enchanting story unfold in your life.

Story
Meet Tonka!   Hello! I am Minnetonka or Tonka for short. I am a perfect mix of a playful puppy and a lazy old lady. I love to lay in my dog bed or on your lap. But I am still a puppy, so I love to play too!   About Me: Friends with Everyone: I love attention from humans and my foster brother. I am good with kids, adults, cats, and dogs. I love every person and animal I meet! Favorite Things: I love treats, sticks, toys, and bones. I stop chewing right away if I hear "no." Smarty Pants: I learn fast. I know how to sit and I listen when you tell me "no." Mealtime: I eat fast! Some people want me to use a slow feeder bowl, but sometimes I try to knock it over to get my food faster. (I told you I was smart) Potty Training: I almost have it down. If I get very excited and have not been outside in a while, I might dribble a little. This will pass soon! Bedtime: I go in my kennel with a small treat. I whine for a few minutes, then I sleep all night. Size & Breed: I weigh 20 pounds now. My paws mean I might grow to be around 50 pounds. I look like a Heeler and Terrier mix with very expressive ears! My foster mom says I have the cutest little face! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
 **Amy is waiting for her person.**    Amy is the kind of dog who wants to be **close to you**—close enough to cuddle, close enough to sleep nearby, and close enough to know exactly where her people are… but not so close that she has to push you out of bed.    She has been learning and growing while in foster care, and we’re starting to see more of her sweet personality come out. She doesn’t chew on things she shouldn’t, and she’s **finally discovering how much fun toys can be!**    But Amy isn’t perfect—and she doesn’t need to be.   She’s still working on a few things:    Other dogs aren’t really her thing.  Unfamiliar noises can make her bark.  New people may get a few seconds of barking before she decides they’re okay.   And that last part? She’s already showing us that she can learn.   This weekend, Amy met my in-laws for the first time. She tried her best to sound scary for a few seconds… and then, just like that, they were friends.    Amy probably isn’t going to be your **brewery dog**. And that’s okay.   Because maybe she’s meant to be something even better:   **Your home dog. Your couch dog. Your bedtime cuddle buddy. Your shadow. Your happy greeting at the door. Your best furry friend.**    If you want a dog who is going to greet you with a **full-body wag every single time you come home**, Amy might just be your girl.   She has a few things to learn, but underneath those little barks is a dog who is learning to trust, learning to play, and learning what it feels like to be loved.   Now she just needs someone willing to love her **all the way home.**    **Could Amy be your BFF—Best Furry Friend?**              Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Hello, my name is Frodo or Fitzgerald! I’m a 2.5 year old happy energetic pup that’s listed as a Great Dane Mix. I’m overall pretty friendly with all. I am kennel trained and a great eater, which means I’m also fun to teach new tricks to! I would be best suited to go to a new home that has a schedule and lifestyle that I can be a huge part of. Since I’m young and full of energy I would do best in a fenced in yard or have the ability to have new activities I can be a part of like hiking or day trips to explore new places. I need solid leadership as sometimes I need to be a little recentered or refocused when I get over stimulated. Because of this, I would be best in a place without young children as I’m still a little uncoordinated from time to time and little kid energy is a bit confusing for me. Kids who are a little older and are interested in helping train me are definitely an exception. Basically from the get go I’m going to just need consistency throughout everyone in the household to help me learn the rules so I can settle in successfully. My current foster mom does in-home boarding at our house so I spend my days meeting new dogs and some new people, so I am pretty well socialized and very much thrive with all the constant stimulation. I do best meeting others outside my kennel in an open space, I tend to be submissive and take appropriate correction from dogs older than me, very well as I’m constantly learning ways to play with all different sizes and breeds. I can't wait to find my forever family!  Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
