Story
This is Shocka! She’s a Terrier mix born 8/22/2019. Shocka is a very loving, playful and trainable dog. Once she is comfortable around her human, you become her whole world. She loves to cuddle and receive belly rubs. Shocka is a short haired dog so she isn't a big fan of cold weather. During the winter months, she will not stay outside too long so short walks is all she is interested in. Anything below 50 degrees is not her thing. She is very much a warm loving dog. She will bask in the sunshine, keep your feet warm and will find the warmest part of your body to cuddle next to. Shocka is a very protective dog and will bark at anything or anyone who comes near you or your home. It is not recommended that her new family have shared walls. Delivery drivers always receive her warning barks even if they’re not delivering to your home. New people also stress her out. Shocka would not do well in a home who has different people visiting the home on a consistent basis. She has been known to bite when strangers get too close. A muzzle would be recommended when she is meeting new people for the first time. Vet visits are unique in that she does better when her human is in the room with her. She will often throw her arms around me in a hug during a vet visit. She is good with other dogs and cats. She is playful but very territorial when it comes to her food. I would recommend feeding her in her kennel to lower the risk of guarding. Shocka has a very adorable underbite and has a cute way of showing you her teeth when she knows she’s done something wrong. It is often difficult to remain annoyed with her when she smiles at you with her underbite. She loves to be petted and is very playful. She loves to chew toys and blankets. She has abandonment anxiety and will chew on things if you leave the home for too long. It is recommended you have lots of chew toys and blankets around to help. She always welcomes me at the door whenever I come home, sit for her treats and is a cuddle buddy at night. She would make an excellent companion and addition to your home as long as you can be patient as she works through some issues. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $425.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 5:33 pm

Story
Hi everyone! I’m Buddy, a happy-go-lucky black Lab with a heart full of love! I was born in February 2022, and even though I had a bit of a rough start, I'm ready to find my forever family! When I was a little pup, walking was a challenge. But my amazing foster mom came along and helped me on my road to recovery! My back legs needed some extra attention. My right leg was a bit weak and didn't bend much, so I used to swing it when I walked. But my left leg? It's super strong and works great! I've been doing physical therapy, which is lots of fun and includes toe wiggles and games (I might have given my foster mom a few ticklish licks during our sessions!). It's important for me to keep my left leg strong, and my foster mom thinks working with a professional physical therapist would be awesome. I can walk and hop pretty well when I go slow, but when I get excited (which is pretty often!), I sometimes scoot around like a happy little wiggle worm! I'm still working on potty training, but my foster mom has a secret: my tail! It goes straight up when I need to go potty, so she knows it's time for a break. Most of the time, I'm just too busy playing to remember! Slippery floors can be a little tricky for me unless I have good traction, and while I can do stairs, I might need a hand going down (those railings can be a bit scary!). But you know what? My spirit is unbreakable! I love *everyone* – kids, adults, and other doggie friends! (I haven't met any cats yet). I do bark in my kennel when I want attention, food, a potty break, or just because I'm feeling chatty! So, a home without shared walls would be best for me. Car rides are awesome, as long as I’m safely buckled up or in my crate. I even have a special 'Help Em Up' harness for all our future adventures together! Are you ready to open your heart and home to a special needs pup with a heart of gold? I can't wait to meet you and give you all my love! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Hi! I'm Gypsy! I'm a beautiful golden retriever mix, about 3 years old (born 10/2021). I'm at that perfect age – not a crazy puppy, but not a slowpoke senior either! I've had a bit of a bumpy start in life, moving between homes a few times. But I'm ready for my *forever* home, and I'm hoping you're the one! My sweet golden eyes are hoping to convince you that I'm the missing piece in your family. Because of my past, I do have some anxiety, especially when kenneled for long periods. But don't worry! I take a daily anxiety medication that helps me feel much better. It's super easy – just hide it in a pill pocket with my morning meal, and I gobble it right down! It's *very* important that I get this medication *every* single morning. It's not something I can take occasionally, and I shouldn't stop taking it suddenly. My foster mom strongly recommends I stay on it for life to help me feel safe and secure after my rough start. I'm a fun-loving girl! I adore playing with toys, kids, and most other dogs. I can be a little bossy with *some* female dogs, but I get along fine with most. Cats? I'm curious at first sniff, but then I usually just ignore them. I've been around cats in other foster homes and done well. I'm a fantastic car rider – I love watching the world go by! I'm also crate trained (I might whine a little when you leave, but I settle down quickly) and house trained. I'm the perfect blend of cuddly and playful. I'll happily snuggle up with you on the couch for movie night, but I'm also ready for some zoomies in the yard or a good run! Won't you please give me my happy ending? I promise to be your loyal and loving companion forever and always. I'm just a brown-eyed girl, waiting for you! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, rabies vaccination, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Distemper combo vaccines appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm and flea/tick preventative while in rescue.

Story
Hello! This is Lord Skippington, but we just call him Skippy. He is a sweet boy, but has his quirks. He does like to bark especially when someone arrives or one of the resident dogs barks. He is good with most dogs, but not all. He doesn't like dogs that are in his face. I haven't personally seen him around kids, but his last foster said he was good with them. He will go potty outside, but he does mark, therefore he wears a belly band in the house. He likes to relax on the couch, but also gets little spurts of energy and likes to play. He's very lovey and likes to give kisses. He sleeps with me, and he sleeps very well. He is small and fun and will be a great companion for someone. Are you his new family? Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, 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
Maxine (Maxi), a lab mix born roughly on 8/12/22, is an affectionate girl who loves people. She’s always happy to get pets and frequently leans against our leg and rolls over for belly rubs or snuggles up against us when we sit down. She does best with slow introductions to new dogs, especially if the other dog comes in hot. That said, she gets along great with our other foster, who is a hyper ball of energy. Once she is comfortable with the other dogs, she behaves very submissively. Maxine has been around cats and did well upon meeting them. Maxine walks quickly on a leash; however, she listens well to correction. She is completely potty trained. Some days, she has been in the kennel for up to 10+ hours without an accident. There have been no accidents outside the kennel, either. She will go to the door and wait until let out. She is a smart gal, so I’m sure she could be trained to ding a bell or use whatever method you prefer. Maxi sleeps well beside us in bed all night. Or she will chill all day or all night in the kennel. We’ve got some exciting news about this pup’s age! Thanks to DNA testing from Embark, we’ve got a fresh take on how old they really are. A big shoutout to Embark for generously donating these tests for us to explore! You might spot a difference between Embark's findings and our original guess—after all, no test or person is 100% accurate. It’s all part of the adventure! 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
Poppy will love you like no other. The line should perhaps read,  Poppy will love you but maybe no one else. One must truly understand the makeup of some Chi mixes, they sometimes pick their person and could care less about anyone else. Poppy will let other people know if she wants a pet from you or not quickly by showing her teeth and a bit of a growl. She has chosen my ten year old granddaughter as her person. I can pet and hold her most times except when she is laying down in her chair on the couch or her bed. She gets along with other dogs perfectly, cats too. She is not food or treat aggressive. She sleeps with my granddaughter but if she is off on a overnighter then I'm good enough to sleep with. She is house trained and house broken, hardly ever barks, walks great on a leash and is  a number one sun worshipper.  Poppy will let you sleep  In late before her morning potty break.  Her person/ family needs to understand that it would be best to remove her from the room when having company, not letting people especially small children around her in case she is in a diva mood. To the person she loves, she would perhaps lay down her life for you.. guaranteed she will sit, sleep and cuddle beside you forever. She prefers mid to soft foods after having her dental work done. She loves me when I make her her favorite meal of chicken breast and rice served in her green and white bowl. While Poppy comes with some baggage to the person/ people who understand she would make a good family member who is just asking for love and understanding. She was saved from the streets of Mexico, so no one knows her back story but you could be her happily ever after.   We’ve got some exciting news about this pup’s age! Thanks to DNA testing from Embark, we’ve got a fresh take on how old they really are. A big shoutout to Embark for generously donating these tests for us to explore! You might spot a difference between Embark's findings and our original guess—after all, no test or person is 100% accurate. It’s all part of the adventure!
