Story
Handsome Toby is daydreaming about meeting his forever family and he is available for you to meet him in person! This sweet boy is extremely loving and happy to embrace all humans big and small. He thrives on being around people and is incredibly attentive to everyone around him and his surroundings. He is eager to please and will easily conform to your daily lifestyle, routine and activity and cherish the ground you walk on. Toby is playful at times, but he is also known to be a docile dog. He would thrive in a home that is winding down in their life, enjoys relaxing, doing things around the house and looking for devotion and companionship. He is the perfect Buddy! Toby likes walks, hikes, car rides and overall, just being around the ones he loves. At the same time, he loves to cuddle and be fawned over and will settle down with you to just hang out and relax. Toby is currently in a foster home and available for you to meet him. He completed a 2-week training course to become more acclimated with dog interaction. He gets along with dogs that have a certain temperament like an older/mature male or female that is appropriate. At no fault of his own, Toby lacked socialization skills with other animals, but has shown he is willing and able to learn positive interaction. His progression has been wonderful and is evident every day. Toby would do best in a home with no cats. Toby is about 4 years old, weighs 45 lbs, is fully vetted, and microchipped. We guess that he is a Catahoula mix possibly with beagle and/or lab. He is adorable and captures the hearts of all that meet him. If interested in learning more about Toby and MEETING him, please email Adoptions@smilingdogfarms.org and please include a phone number where you can be reached. WE ANSWER ALL EMAILS. PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN AN EMAIL FROM US Please Note: We are always in need of foster homes for our dogs. If you're interested in making a difference in a dog’s life, we would love to share with you what it means to be a foster parent.

Story
Rosco is a very adorable 6 year old pure bread beagle that still looks like a puppy. He is energetic and great with children although he can become protective of them overtime. He gets along with cats and other dogs. Rosco would thrive in a home that can provide training as he is an anxious dog but also loves to chill in the sunshine and a comfy chair. He takes a little time to warm up to new people but once he trusts you he’s your best friend. He struggles on a lease and barks a lot as most beagles do. He would really do well in a home with structure and training and following through with rules. He’s looking for his forever home. We love him so much that we would be willing to take him if you needed to travel for short stints.

Story
Wyatt is a goofy, happy 2 year old! He is a large guy weighing in over 100 pounds, but he thinks he is the perfect lap size. He loves getting all the attention and belly rubs. Due to spinal cord disease Wyatt has urinary incontinence and wears a belly band. He also was born with congenital deformities on his hind legs, causing him to have limited mobility. He has a custom-fitted wheelchair that he likes to use when he goes for walks. Despite his physical limitations, Wyatt doesn't let anything dampen his spirits. He loves life and is happy just to be with people anywhere he is. If you would like to meet Wyatt please contact vpape@lollypop.org

Story
Rico is such a sweet 3-year-old! This guy is the best of both worlds: playful and cuddly. He is an energetic young man who hopes to find an active person or family to have tons of fun with! Rico loves playing with toys and exploring nature on nice, long walks. He also loves his treats, which is very convenient for positive reinforcement training! Giving his brain a workout is just as important as physical exercise, and it can be lots of fun for both of you! Based on previous experience, we are recommending that Rico be the only pet in the home. He wants all of your love for himself, and he promises to give you all his love in return! We think it might be best if kids are 12 and up due to his excitability. Will you give this cuddle bug a chance at the new, better life he deserves? Rico would LOVE to meet you today!

Size

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Joe is no "average Joe"! This good boy "ain't nothing but a hound dog" - but a hound dog can be pretty great! Just check out those adorable floppy ears! This handsome 4-year-old is a silly, energetic guy who would love to find a very active family. A perfect day for Joe involves going for walks and doing lots of sniffing and exploring! This handsome boy is a social butterfly who quickly became a favorite among our volunteer dogwalkers and Doggy Day Out participants. Joe has gotten along with children and some other dogs before, but he does not do well with small dogs or cats - hounds like Joe were originally bred to hunt, so he has the wrong kind of interest in smaller animals! We'll have you bring the whole family, human and canine, to Lollypop to meet Joe before bringing him home to be sure it's a good fit for everyone. Maybe "he ain't never caught a rabbit" but he is a friend of mine, and he wants to be your friend, too!

Story
We DO talk about Bruno! This cutie is 5 years old and weighs about 17 pounds. He is crate-trained, and a very good boy while walking on a leash. This little guy is a big fan of treats! He would love to do some positive reinforcement training with you as long as he gets yummy snacks! He already learned to Sit and Come in his previous home. He hasn't really been in the mood to play here in the shelter, but we're told he enjoys fetch. Bruno can be a little "spicy" if new people try to touch him right away, but he does warm up in his own time when his boundaries are respected. Bruno would prefer to live in a home without children - not getting along with a young child is the reason he came to us. He also is not a fan of cats. He can be a little picky about other dogs and seems to prefer other small ones, so we will introduce him to any canine family members here at the shelter before sending him home to be sure it's a good match. Is Bruno calling your name? Come on in and let's talk about him!
