Story
We LOVE our guy but we're having a baby in a month and he’s a puppy with a few behavior issues. He’s an adorable little guy, loves affection, and is very soft. In an abundance of caution, we need to re-home him. Issues he needs to work on: Jumping on people when excited, stealing food. Uses a muzzle when walking. NOT aggressive but can be reactive with dogs on leash. He had a 3-week board/train for: better walking, leash manners, techniques to stop demand jumping, house manners (place, wait, out), and understanding spatial pressure (when he’s worked up). 3 FREE private lessons with our trainers if you want them. He could benefit from experienced owner committed to training and working on pushy/demanding behavior. He has a lot of energy and needs lots of exercise. Born: 3/1/24. From SPCA. 65lbs. Up to date on all vaccines. Embark DNA profile available.

Story
Cookie is a two year old people-magnet—the sweetest, gentlest boy you’ll ever meet. At 65 lbs, he knows his size and is exceptionally careful around people and other dogs. He loves dog parks, long walks, and training sessions, and always brings positive energy wherever he goes. Despite his enthusiasm, Cookie is just as content at home. He enjoys napping beside his people, playing games, and simply being near those he loves. He’s a true “stay close” kind of dog and often shows affection by leaning against your legs or resting his chin on your lap. Cookie walks well on leash without excessive pulling and is fully house-trained. He has never been in a fight with another dog—even when provoked—and won’t pull to engage with dogs he passes on walks. Cookie is being rehomed due to his current owner’s medical conditions, which have made dog ownership difficult. The adoption fee includes: -Cookie -His favorite accessories (jacket, leash, harness) -Snacks, food, and toys -Dog bowls

Story
Hello, my name is Rudy, a sun loving, toy destroying cuddler. My family is growing with little humans, that I just cant seem to get comfortable with. I would do best to be in an adult home with infrequent visits from little ones. I am very smart and my parents have put a lot of time into my training. I have real life training skills such as "place", "lets go", "leave it", recall and when my little doorbell rings I know to go to my crate. I have been e-collared trained and know how to walk on a leash. My favorite activities include playing tug-o-war, running around outside, playing fetch, and napping on my dog bed or couch. I love structure and stability. When you are gone I love to be in my crate! If you end up being the right fit for me, my family will supply all the tools I currently use, so that we are best set up for success. I really am the perfect boy, but need the controlled energy that adults provide.

Story
Hi there! I’m Shasta, and I’m basically a walking bundle of joy with a wagging tail. I’m goofy, silly, and full of high-energy fun—the kind of girl who can turn any ordinary day into an adventure. I love being outside, going for walks, and sniffing everything like it’s the most important investigation of my life. Fresh air, new smells, and exploring the world? Yes please! I’m toy- and treat-motivated, which makes playtime and training a blast. When I’m not zooming around or showing off my playful side, I’m all about the cuddles. I love being close to my people and soaking up affection. I’m also a social butterfly. I love meeting new people and will happily seek out attention from everyone I meet—friends, strangers, you name it. If you’re looking for a dog who brings smiles, laughter, and endless love wherever she goes, I’m your girl. Ready for a fun-loving, affectionate best friend? Come meet me—I can’t wait to charm you
