Story
Charlee is a cool dude who sometimes just likes to do his own thing. He would do best as an only pup and adventure buddy. Charlee is a sweetheart and a great listener and has amazing pawtential to learn new things. Being alone is not his favorite thing. New home, new people will take time for him to adjust and adjusting is not a quick fix. Dogs can take 3 days to start to be at home, 3 weeks to find their spot and 3 months to believe that this is where they belong. Patience, pets and treats will help this process. Charlee may also benefit from going to a training class which will give you both tools to help you grow your relationship. We think that Charlee is worth the time and effort and hope that once you meet him you will 100% agree.

Story
Bjorn is a silly and active guy who has truly grown and matured in our care. He continues to work with our amazing staff to learn new skills which will help him in his furever home. We have learned that Bjorn would do best in a home with older kids...too much energy. He also needs to keep his brain and body active to make sure he can focus on being the best boy. He loves walks on a long line to sniff and explore, snuffle mats, and Kong toys which will help him burn off mental and physical energy and hone his listening skills. Most of all, Bjorn needs security. He needs people who will stay by his side and make him feel loved and confident. Can you be his person?
