Story
Hattie is a very sweet girl who loves treats. She has been in the office around cats and has played with some dogs. Hattie is incredibly smart and food-driven. She knows how to sit and is learning to wait at doors, touch, and down. She doesn't seem to have much experience walking on a leash but is catching on quickly. Hattie does like to jump on people to say hello and thinks she is a tiny puppy. Coming out of her kennel Hattie is vey high energy but during home visits she settles fairly quickly and wants to chill on the couch. Due to her size and energy, we do not recommend that she live in a house with children under 12. Hattie is up to date on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. If you are interested in Hattie please fill out an adoption application on our website.

Story
This high-energy eight-month-old girl is ready for her forever home. Freya loves bubbles and will play with them as long as you let her. She is very easily excited and bouncy, so we do not recommend her for a home with children. She is looking for a home that has the patience for a big energetic puppy that needs daily exercise and training. She knows how to sit and lay down, and has been learning about walking on a leash. We are not sure if she will accept another dog as we are currently testing her around other animals. She grew up in a home where she was the only pet, so that might be what she is going to need as a good match. Freya is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. If you are interested in Freya, please fill out an adoption application.

Dennis is a big goofy boy. He loves cookies and enjoys trick training. He can sit and lay down on command and we have been working on teaching him a touch cue. Dennis enjoys meeting new people and is housebroken. He has met teenage volunteers and does well with them but he can be bouncy and might knock over smaller children. Dennis's favorite things are squeaky toys. He will run around with a stuffy in his mouth and likes to bring toys on walks. Dennis has been neutered and is up to date on shots.
