Story
Meet Deacon, he is a mixed breed dog with a great personality… uh, dog-anality. Deacon is a neutered male coming in at about 45 lbs of pure love. He is just a chill guy with a splash of zoomies! Deacon can jump for the sky and loves a good run in the yard, so a 5 ft fenced-in yard is a must for this boy.  If you want to see pure joy, watch him when he is playing with toys, particularly squeaky toys (which is his absolute FAVORITE). Deacon will thrive if he is the only dog in the home, but he loves cats! He may give them a little chase, but all in all, he just wants to show his love with a little play.  Deacon was bounced around a bit before he went to his foster home, so he’s learned to love and trust again. Due to that, he can be slow to warm up, but once you are his person, he desires nothing more than to be by your side as your furry companion… and have squeaky toys. Don’t forget the squeaky toys! Deacon is house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. He has completed training with multiple trainers learning new things & preparing him for his new home. Deacon is still figuring out the world and will need someone who will be patient and give him some extra TLC.  He does not like being thrown into new situations,  so he will need someone who can be patient with him when he encounters new people and places. Note: The training he received comes with lifetime training touch-ups (adoption location dependent). Once he has settled in, the trainer will provide you with training sessions to help acclimate him to his new home. They also provide group training sessions most Saturdays at local parks.  If you think Deacon would make a good addition to your family, fill out an application at lastdaydogs.com    September 3, 2025, 10:37 pm

Baci

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

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

Story
Baci is a sweet boy who is the perfect combination of active and cuddly. While he enjoys all the finer things in life (treats, walks, food, bones), most of all, he loves attention and cuddles from his people. At one year old, Baci would enjoy being in an active household, but don't let that fool you, he will snooze (or enjoy a bone) as you relax on the couch. When it's time for bed, he will be right there with you, ready to snooze AND sleep in the next day. Imagine that, a dog who sleeps in! As a pint-sized cutie (~40 pounds), Baci would thrive in an apartment or house as long as his people have time to take him for walks. Baci also enjoys laid back social outings and is very calm in locations such as breweries.  Baci is good with other dogs, would enjoy a playmate, and has proven to learn queues from other dogs in a home. Because he is still decompressing, slow intros are a must to keep him feeling safe.  While he does enjoy a playmate, Baci would also be fine on his own in a home. He is great in the car and house trained (can last up to 4-5 hours on his own).Baci is great on a leash, constantly checking in, and loves water (or at least kiddie pools!). He is extremely intelligent and treat-motivated. Baci still needs time to decompress so avoid busy or loud outings like Bark in the Park, festivals, concerts, or busy dog parks until he feels safer.  Baci is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations with no known health concerns.

Story
Meet Brownie, aka Miss B! This sweet pup loves to meet people, walks well on her leash, rides well in the car, and is potty and crate trained. She’s got energy for walks & playing but will be your best couch cuddler too! Beware she has the cutest snore ever!   Brownie is  very smart and eager to please, & has been busy as a B learning her basic commands- sit, down, off, “look” at me, stay, come, drop it & waiting at thresholds, and has mastered many of them. We’re also working on “leave it” with success. Brownie does well with adequate exercise and enrichment with toys to keep her happiest. She would do best in an adult household or one with older kids who can learn her commands.   Miss B will do best with a fenced yard where she can play freely. She enjoys playing ball and has started to work on some fun agility exercises like weaving poles and jumps. She likes variety to keep things interesting and is a very quick learner!    At this time it would be best if Brownie would be the only pet in the home. She’s not ready for busy, crowded places like breweries, etc. We’re presently working with a trainer on dog overexcitement/socialization skills and she is doing well so far! Her trainer is committed to her success and will continue her training support after adoption!    Star qualities: -That sweet face   -Meets people nicely/loving personality  -Potty trained/Holds in crate -Crate trained (3-4 hours tested during day/sleeps quietly all night in crate in foster parents bedroom) -Good on leash/harness  -Also trained on transitional leash -Rides well in the car -Treat motivated -knows many basic commands  -Loves to be with her people -Tolerates her bath when needed  -cutest snore ever   If you are interested in fostering or adopting Brownie, please complete an application at lastdaydogs.comOctober 8, 2025, 4:21 pm

Story
    Spenser is currently in boarding and needs a foster or adopter so that we can learn more about him.  He would do best in a home with no other animals and a large fenced yard to “zoom” around.  He is approximately 49 lbs.   At 1 year old, he has a lot of energy but we have training lined up for him if we can find someone to commit to fostering him and working on new skills with him and his trainer while he's in foster care.    We don’t want Spencer to fall by the wayside! We know he’s a good boy. If you have time to learn about and love on Spencer, please complete an application at lastdaydogs.comOctober 8, 2025, 11:11 am
