Story
Sloth is a playful, gentle, caring little guy who loves people, walks, and eating meals. Sloth is kennel trained as long as he gets walked regularly. He is kind of an odd looking dog, but don't let his looks fool you, he is very intelligent and eager to learn. He is very cuddly and loves to be affectionate. Sloth was adopted from the animal shelter since October 2023 and is healthy, vaccinated, and microchipped. Our other dog is not getting along with him. He is a good boy who just needs a good home. If we can't find a home for Sloth soon, we will have to take him back to the shelter.

Story
This is Jasper. He is a very active, very loving husky. He’s cared for by our entire family and does well with our three-year-old. On Walks we encounter, multiple dogs with no issues. Jasper has been around multiple kids, but not many dogs.. He loves to run, play ball, and fetch. Once you expend Jasper‘s energy, he is calm. Like many huskies he is very busy and can be dominant. My ambition for Jasper here is to find loving family with a fenced yard, big enough for him to be able to run and play as often as he’d like with children, and possibly another dog. He loves to be cuddled and have his belly rubbed.

Story
Lucy is an adorable Border Collie mix with a great smile! She loves going on long walks and even sits politely when you leash her to go outside. Lucy enjoys traveling and is a great running partner. She loves snuggles and belly rubs. Lucy does well with sleeping on her own, with free access to her crate. She is a good listener, and overall well-behaved other than her jealousy/aggression issues. She is an anxious dog and we have given her calming medications in the past. Lucy was originally owned by a relative that adopted her from a shelter. Our relative could no longer care for her because of how active Lucy is. Our relative had a chihuahua and three other cats that Lucy did well with. From what we have seen in the past, Lucy does well with kids. We have seen that she must warm up to younger men.

Story
Pongo was my dad's dog for the last few years. Because of some medical conditions my father has, he is not able to fully take care of Pongo. He is an amazingly sweet dog and we have loved fostering him. We want to make sure he goes to a great home and truly deserves it. All Pongo wants is to be loved on. I have walked him without a leash just to test and had no problems as well as my 5 year old daughter has walked him on a leash without him pulling too hard at all. He is amazingly loving and obedient. We would love to have someone meet Pongo soon!

Story
We adopted Bruno at a very young age, 2-3 months old. He is currently 3 years oldy and his birthday is on January 26th. He's energetic, intelligent, loyal, & such a sweet dog, and I can't emphasize that enough. A great companion but he has attention and stimulation needs that we can no longer fulfill since having a baby with one more on the way. He's not a bad dog but he's definitely been acting out a little from the lack of attention, so we really want to find him a new owner and home with someone who can give him more play time and space. He will get curious out of boredom. He thrives on attention so if you can give it he will be a perfect match for you. He needs a lot of space to run around in too being that he's a cattle dog. I take him out to the tennis court to play fetch but he definitely needs more play than I can provide between work and taking care of other family needs. He's better with older kids. Doesn’t like to share the attention with babies and toddlers.
