Story
Mercury's love for people is as boundless as the universe, and with a slow and patient introduction, he transforms into a true lovebug. His expressive eyes and wagging tail tell the story of a pup eager to connect and create a bond that lasts a lifetime. Once he knows you're a friend, he'll be your most devoted companion, offering endless cuddles and tail-wagging joy. However, Mercury's celestial charm is unique, and he requires a home where he can shine as the solo star. He has shown aggression towards other animals, so a pet-free environment is essential for his happiness and well-being. Mercury thrives when he can be the center of attention, basking in the love and companionship of his human family. Mercury's ideal home is one filled with understanding and a commitment to his need for exclusive affection. A secure and calm environment will allow him to blossom into the affectionate and loyal companion he longs to be. Whether it's a quiet evening on the couch or an outdoor adventure, Mercury is ready to share his love with a family who appreciates the unique brilliance of his personality.

Story
Hi there, my name is Sophie. I am ALL Griff, loving, silly, devoted, 2 speeds: hang out, and sporting field girl. I am part of my Dad's Griff family, and I have been Mom to many well adjusted pups. But now I am being retired, and my Dad wants me to go to a home where I will be spoiled and part of the family and household, for my retirement years. I am great with humans of all sizes -- and other dogs (used to living with them). Still have run in me -- and could use some training in recall as I get pretty 'focused' on following my nose when I am out in the field. I haven't been hunted lately, because my Dad doesn't hunt as much as he used to. Anyway, please call on me or come meet me. I live in Idaho near Twin Falls -- and am seeking a home within close reasonable driving distance so I can be near to Dad. OR close to Reno/Tahoe/Carson City (the gal who is helping my Dad find me a home). She is doing the initial screening, and is asking for a phone call interview, application, home visit, and adoption fee that will go to Dad and rescue. Thank you for your interest. Call my foster Mom, Robyn: 775-240-5142 or email robyn.orloff@icloud.com.May 5, 2024, 2:13 pm

Story
Meet Estrella! She is a husky mix (possibly a little German Shepherd) who has quite the story to tell. She was first spotted in Tahoe City early in 2022, where she evaded capture for months until becoming so weak and injured that she was ultimately trapped. After that, she was treated at an area veterinary clinic, from which she escaped again. After being trapped a second time, Estrella was adopted into several homes but never found a good fit. She was almost feral and acting out, making her very difficult to place. In addition, she has an ocular condition called pannus that will require lifelong treatment to maintain the health of her eyes. In the late spring/summer of 2023, Estrella came to WARF. She was skittish and very fearful of noise and anything new. She found a foster home, where she slowly decompressed and began to trust again. Being around other dogs is essential for Estrella, but she has a strong personality and will need a family who is willing to work with her quirks. She is playful with the other young dog in her family but is mouthy like some Huskies can be and has to be managed on walks and hikes. Once she is comfortable, she has great house manners and rides well in the car. In spite of all that Estrella has survived, she has a very sweet nature and is willing to give us humans a second chance at being her friend! Please complete an adoption application at www.tahoewarf.org or call/text Sam 775-338-6631 if you'd like to hear more about this amazing dog.May 5, 2024, 2:13 pm
