Story
Notes from foster: Chester is a very sweet fella! He's been living harmoniously with dogs and cats. True to Beagle form, he loves sniffing in the yard and on walks. Chester is super food motivated and is totally housebroken. When left alone he naps on a doggie bed and doesn't get into anything he shouldn't. He's laidback and likes to snuggle, but still loves to play a bit (and then nap!).

Story
From foster: Nala Biscuit, or Ms. Biscuit as she has come to be known as, is one of our favorite fosters we have had to date. She is the perfect combination of puppy playfulness and a cuddle bug. It is always the best to come home to her, where she is already at the door and hidden tons of bones around the house for me to find! She is still a puppy and a little nippy, but is easily distracted with toys or bones. I think she would be a great family dog as she is receptive to training and gentle when she meets knew people. She is housebroken with only a few accidents inside when we first brought her home - she definitely knows to go outside to go potty and will even cry by the door. In the car (which she loves), she falls asleep on her blanket and sleeps through the night on our bed after she burrows under the covers and finds the perfect place by our feet. Nala walks well on a leash and loves to play with other dogs bigger or smaller than her... She would do great with another dog or by herself. She does like to bark at dogs on leash and other big, bad, and scary noises or strangers, but is only looking to play and calms down with redirection. She is a goofball at heart with the cutest puppy quirks, and would make the best family dog or new addition to anyone's family!!

Story
Oh hey! My name is Coco!! I'm a vibrant, friendly, and energetic lil gal. I would do best with someone who can give me room to play and get my energy out. I've got a sweet side that looks forward to snuggle time, with extra snacks - of course. I'm lanky, but not very big, so I would make a great co-pilot on your next road trip. You should just come down to the shelter to meet me, then we can leave here to my forever home together! Can't wait to meet you!!!
