Story
If you need someone to keep you active, engaged, and entertained, Iggy would like to apply for the position! This little boy has a great personality and he is looking for a home with people who will take him for a run or long walk each day, teach him some tricks (he`s a smart boy!), and include him in their everyday life. Iggy is not quite 2 years old, so he has youthful energy. He was adopted a while back and returned because he was too playful for the much smaller dog in the home. Other than that, they had all good things to say about Iggy. Another adopter said he did not get along with the other pets in their home and got into big trouble with the chickens and ducks (ruh-roh, Iggy!). He really is a good boy who just needs to find the right home. If you have another dog, we recommend a meet and greet, and he may do best in a home with kids who are school-age or older. We know Iggy`s perfect person/family is out there, we just hope they`ll come and scoop him up soon!Meet Iggy! He was briefly in a home and they said great things about him. They said the following - Iggy:- Dog friendly (for dogs in comprable size)- Walks well on a leash- Is good with car rides- Is Housetrained- Affectionate- Playful

Story
Foster Notes:`Colby is the sweetest pup you would ever meet! From the day he came home with me, he has been the nicest, most well adjusted dog. He immediately trusted me and rolled on his back for belly rubs. He is the biggest cuddler ever. He loves to get as close as he can to you and just sleep. He follows me around no matter where I am going. Even if I am just moving within his eyesight, he is right behind me. He likes to go outside and sniff around but as soon as he is done with his business, he wants to go back inside. He doesn`t like to be outside for long amounts of time and he always wants me to be right beside him if he is outside. He also doesn`t really like to play with toys. He likes to have them with him while he sleeps but he doesn`t fetch or play tug of war. I tried to introduce him to other dogs and he seemed not to like them much. He immediately stiffened and started barking. They were both around his size, if not bigger. I also tried to introduce him to a smaller dog, and he still did not like them. While he is not fond of dogs, he LOVES people! No matter who he meets, he is automatically wanting to jump on them and he wants you to rub him. He has never had an issue with anyone but he doesn`t like to see people through windows, I`m not sure why. If you want a chill, cuddly pup to brighten your life, Colby is the pup for you.Colby is perfectly housetrained. As long as you take him out often and make sure he uses the bathroom, I don`t think that you will have any issues regarding accidents. He is walked on a leash and also allowed outside on his own, but he doesn`t like to be outside without someone right beside him. He is not crate trained but I don`t think it would be hard for him to learn if that was a goal of yours. He doesn`t do a ton of tricks or know a lot of commands. He only listens some of the time when I tell him to sit and he always gets sad when I ask for his paw, so I try to avoid that.`

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This sweet face belongs to Spud (previously Honcho), and he`s so handsome. According to his foster, `Spud is such a fun, snuggly, happy dog! He loves to spend time with people and has excellent inside manners - housebroken and not destructive at all. He loves to go for car rides and meet new people. He needs extra help when being introduced to new dogs and is still working on leash manners.He loves balls, treats, and any sort of attention!He is also a fairly low energy young dog. He seems to do well with 3 x 15- minute walks a day and some sniffing/ play time in the yard. He`s content to chill most of the time (preferably leaning against your leg).He does seem to be initially reactive to dogs/ pets. We have been able to work through some of it, but he would need to either be the only pet or the adopter will need to be willing to patiently help him with introductions.He is housetrained and well behaved (not destructive and doesn`t jump). Still working on leash training.Crate trained, including unsupervised, and we have not yet tried unsupervised out free in home. Seems to have some counter surfing habits but we are working on those manners.Does great in the fenced in yard with or without supervision.`

MAVERICK

Labrador Retriever

Male, 1 yr 2 mos

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Maverick! Maverick is a shy, sensitive soul still figuring out how to feel safe. At just over a year old, this gentle boy came to us from a home with 21 other dogs, and it’s clear he’s used to blending into the background. He’s unsure on leash, nervous around new people, and currently considered a flight risk, so patience and a calm environment will be key.But behind those cautious eyes is a dog who wants to trust. He just needs someone willing to move slowly, offer steady reassurance, and let him open up at his own pace. He may not run to greet you, but with time, he’ll start to show little moments of courage—and those are the ones that matter most.If you’re the kind of person who sees beauty in quiet progress and finds joy in earning trust slowly, Maverick might be your perfect companion.
