Story
Hi, I am Alpha. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I can best be described as playful and puppyish. I am friendly too, although sometimes I take a minute or two to warm up. Not to brag but I am a smart cookie and love learning new things. If you have an active lifestyle...I am in! I am a polite house guest and will help you take great care of your yard. In summary, the best dog and you should stop what you are doing and come meet me! Today!I’d love some snuggles or a gentle pet, but could you check with one of the amazing staff members first? They’ll make sure I’m ready for cuddles and that we both stay safe and happy. Thanks for being pawsome!????

Story
Mochi is a one dog party! He is the definition of entertainment. From his silly smile to sudden zoomies, Mochi will make your life better. As he is a senior pup, he has his preferences. Mochi will do best with older kids and would need to meet any potential dog siblings first. However, if you don`t have any dogs he would love to be your most needy child...belly rubs will be ordered hourly!

Story
This sweet 5-year-old, Shepherd mix came to our rescue from a kill shelter while pregnant, and we're so grateful she found her way to us. Beverly Cleary is a gentle giant at 90 pounds, and she's eager to find a loving home where she can finally settle down and write her own happily ever after. Shepherds, like Beverly Clearly, are known for their intelligence and loyalty. They are active dogs that thrive with regular exercise and mental stimulation. While Beverly is a loving and affectionate girl who adores human companionship, she'll thrive with an experienced owner who can provide consistent training and guidance. With patience and positive reinforcement, she'll blossom into a wonderful companion. Although she's dog friendly, we think she would do best with male dog or a submissive calm female. She's potty and crate trained.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

He is housebroken and well mannered (except for jumping up to give hugs, which we are working on).Duckie takes time to settle in. He can and will escape and jump 8 foot fences.
