If you`re looking for a dog who wants to be by your side, curled up in your lap, and soaking up attention, Bean may be the perfect match!Bean has been around children ages 10 and 12 and has done well with them. He is also cat friendly, making him a great candidate for a variety of home environments. Bean requires a dog meet-and-greet and is looking for a home with a co-existing canine companion.

He knows `sit,` is potty trained, rides well in the car, and has been reported to be non-destructive in the home. While he may need a little encouragement for bath time, he does well once reassured.Bean has a medium energy level, making him happy to join you for activities while also enjoying downtime and cuddles. He loves attention, gives great hugs, and is happiest when he`s close to the people he loves.

Are you ready for a very active love bug and LOTS of big slobbery kisses? Then Trevor is your guy! Trevor is the kind of dog who lives life to the fullest! Whether he`s playing with his dog friends, heading out on an adventure, or snuggling up after a busy day, he`s always happy to be by your side.Trevor`s Highlights:Dog friendly (Dog Meet & Greet Recommended, due to he plays hard)Loves peopleToy enthusiast—he`d happily accept a whole basket full!Takes treats gently and is very food motivatedResponds well to correctionsHas great recallHigh energy and always ready for your next adventureEasy to leashRides great in the carHe is believed to be Housebroken (his potty signal is subtle—he`ll quietly head to the door)He is believed to be Crate trainedOne of Trevor`s best qualities is how well he adjusts his play style to the dog he`s with. If his buddy wants a game of chase, he`s all in. If they prefer rough-and-tumble wrestling, Trevor is happy to match that energy too. Because every dog is different, we do recommend a dog meet and greet to make sure everyone is a good fit.Like many happy young dogs, Trevor is still learning that jumping isn`t the best way to say hello—but he`s eager to learn and responds well to guidance.If you`re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate adventure buddy who will fill your days with laughter, kisses, and plenty of playtime, Trevor is waiting to meet you!

Story
Pebbles is a 5-year-old sweetheart who is looking for a patient and understanding family to help her feel safe and loved. She is very timid and will need time to adjust to a new home, but with kindness and consistency, she has the potential to blossom.Pebbles prefers to be the only dog in the home so she can enjoy all the love and attention for herself. While she doesn`t know any tricks yet, she`s ready to learn at her own pace with positive reinforcement.Because Pebbles is capable of jumping a 4-foot fence, she will need a securely fenced yard with a taller fence or should always be kept on a leash when outside.If you`re looking for a gentle companion and are willing to give her the time she needs to build trust, Pebbles could be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Swoop is a fun-loving 5-year-old boy with a big personality and lots of energy! He loves to play and is always ready for an adventure, making him a great match for an active family.Swoop is easy to leash, although he can pull on walks when he`s excited. He already knows `sit,` `down,` and `paw,` and enjoys showing off his skills. He loves toys and is always up for a game. During play, Swoop can become mouthy and jumpy, and he enthusiastically grabs treats, so he`ll benefit from continued training to polish his manners.He happily allows full-body handling and has done well with other dogs. Because of his energetic, bouncy play style, Swoop is looking for a home without young children.If you`re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who will keep you active and entertained, Swoop is ready to meet you!
