So he is about 3 or 4 years old, he is kind and listens excellent, we just don't have the time to for him. We have two other dogs. I feel bad for him he does not get the attention he needs. He is a excellent listener and is trained well. Please give him a chance and come meet him. You will not be disappointed. He is fixed and loves playing with cats or other dogs. Needs to be more active.

Story
Chief is an adult German Shorthaired Pointer with a sweet, people-focused personality. He loves being close, getting affection, playing with balls and lasers, and having a calm routine. He is cautious with strangers at first, but warms up when he is able to sniff and observe.He needs to be the only dog in the home. Over the last few years, he has become increasingly reactive around other dogs and has a bite history with dogs. He is not fit for dog parks daycare, multi-dog homes, or casual dog introductions without training. He needs a person that understands dog reactivity and can manage his environment when it gets too loud.Chief has lived with a cat and tolerated it, but would do best as a solo pet. We can no longer safely manage two dogs that aren't getting along, and Chief deserve a stable home where can be loved, understood, love back, and have consistency. He is reactive to a lot of change, and we no longer have a stable enough home for him to rest happily.

Story
*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* ---- Romeo is a sweet boy with a few quirky, lovable traits that make him extra special. He is both potty trained and crate trained, and he settles nicely into a routine. Romeo is very expressive and does a great job communicating what he needs—he’ll do a little hop and bark when he wants to go outside or is hoping for some attention. When he gets really excited, he may growl, but it’s simply his unique way of showing his enthusiasm. He sleeps happily in his crate at night and does very well with it. Even without the door being closed or locked, he chooses to stay there all night on his own. Romeo has done well with a senior dog in the home, but he has struggled with another resident dog and has needed to be kept separated. Because of this, he will likely do best as the only dog in the home. He can be alert and vocal when he hears unfamiliar noises or someone knocks at the door, so he likely would not be the best fit for a home with shared walls. Romeo does not show any issues around food or toys, but he can be a little protective of his person. Overall, he is a loving, expressive boy who just needs a patient home where he can continue to feel safe, secure, and confident. Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your Senior dog in top shape.

Story
Hi friends Abigail the Perfect here. My foster mom also calls me Abba-daba-ding-dong and Abacadabra. I came into a local shelter after being left in an apartment and later owner surrendered after neighbors called because I was having choir practice. When I came into the shelter I was a bit shy, but very quickly warmed up to people and discovered dog friends are AMAZING. I am overall a great girl, hence being titled "the Perfect," and I have loads of energy and a few quirks as I am still learning. Most importantly my priority in life is play. It is very important to have fun, and I maximize this every day. My foster mom says I am the only dog she has seen multitask play. I can chew on stuffy and kick a wobble ball around the yard at the same time! On balls...I have massive herding skills. I am not sure where I am herding the ball, but I will go and go and go. My foster mom calls this wrecking ball time because of the gleeful chaos I cause. With other dogs, I was initially really sensitive and would squeal when touched during play. That has changed and now I could play and wrestle all day. I am a bit relentless in encouraging friends to play and fully feel every dog will be my friend, if I just try hard enough. As a result I will go best with a doggie friend that has a similar attitude on play, or my doggie friend might not appreciate me as much as they should. I love wrestling and can be mouthy in my play. You know how I love toys? I also am ok with sharing my toys (my foster mom says that this should be slowly introduced in a new home). My biggest quirk is I have a passion for chewing through leashes and harnesses. I am working on it, but I am not a tie out kind of gal, because I can free myself with great ease. A fenced in yard is the ideal fit. I LOVE car rides and adventures. I have shopped at several store and had a grand time. I do occasionally attempt to shoplift because I do not understand money, so that needs to be watched. I don't want to end up in jail. I am house broken and crate trained. In my crate I do have choir practice now and then, so shared walls might not be the best fit. On training, I know sit, shake and down. On leash, I can pull and do best with a harness. My ideal home is looking for a playful, social, energetic dog. I would love another friendly dog companion but that is not needed. If someone is interested in dog sports we might have a really good time trying together. I am pretty much a go anywhere dog. When I am bored I can get a bit playfully mouthy and I do not always watch where I am going so older kids might be a better fit. I am in my canine adolescence and still learning. I generally have good house manners, but sometimes need reminders that shoes aren't toys (shoplifting). When my foster mom is doing chores I am always willing to lend a helping paw by following her around and offering my assistance and inspection services. If I sound like a match, please fill out and application so my foster human can talk to you!

Story
Bailey is the kind of dog who approaches life with full-body enthusiasm and a wagging tail. She loves people, adores other dogs, and seems convinced that everyone she meets is her new best friend. Since she’s still very much a young dog, she’s working on expressing that excitement a little more politely (jumping up to say hello is still a work in progress), but she’s eager to learn and responds well to guidance from both people and canine friends. Playtime is Bailey’s favorite thing. Fetch is absolutely her jam, and she also loves games of chase, wrestling with dog pals, splashing in water, and even bath time. She plays hard for a good 20–30 minutes, then happily settles in for a cozy nap or relaxes by your side to recharge. Bailey is an affectionate sweetheart who leans in for pets, flops over for belly rubs, and wants to be wherever her people are. She sleeps quietly in her crate and keeps it clean overnight. She already knows “sit” and is making great progress with potty training and leash manners (she still occasionally remembers she’s a puppy and tries to turn the leash into a toy). Loud noises and household sounds don’t seem to bother her much. Bailey’s perfect match is someone who will embrace her playful spirit while continuing her training and giving her plenty of adventures, enrichment, and opportunities to socialize—especially with dog friends. In return, she’ll bring endless fun, affection, and joy to everyday life.

Story
Pound Cake! 🐾 Pound Cake is a lovable 7-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 11 pounds and looking for his forever family! This sweet boy is the perfect combination of cuddle buddy and walking companion. He loves being held, enjoys leisurely walks, and has excellent leash manners. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and has been very respectful of his tiny Chiweenie foster sister. Pound Cake is well-behaved, easygoing, and happiest when he's close to his people. He'll greet you like you've been gone for years, even if it's only been a few minutes! Because he loves companionship so much, he'd do best in a home where someone is around often. He's making great progress with house training, enjoys free roam of the house, and doesn't require a fenced yard as long as he gets regular walks. Rescued from Texas and full of love to give, Pound Cake is ready to trade foster life for a forever lap. Could that lap be yours.
