Meet Murphy! 🐾Murphy is a sweet, playful puppy looking for her perfect forever home! She’s curious, affectionate, and very good around other people. She loves exploring her surroundings, playing with toys, and spending time with her people.She’s already learning basic commands like “sit” and is working on crate training and leash manners. Like any young puppy, she’ll need patience, consistency, and continued training as she grows.Murphy has so much potential and so much love to give. I’m looking for a home that has the time, patience, and commitment to help her thrive and give her the happy life she deserves. ❤️

He is a very sweet and smart dog, but unfortunately, I can’t be there to give him all the time and love that he deserves so I’m looking to find him a loving home that will be able to spend time with him.

Story
Meet Vivian - a beautiful pup with a fabulous set of ears who strikes a fun balance between active and affectionate. Gazing into her soulful eyes, you can tell she`s ready to find a family!Vivian is a curious girl who loves to get out and seize the day. She likes to sniff and explore on walks and spent some time playing in the yards. She has a funny personality, and might drop into an army crawl when she wants to go somewhere. Though she is a strong and adventurous girl, she has a sensitive side too; if you see her get scared of a fly, no you didn`t. Once Vivian has a chance to work out some wiggles, her sweet side shines. She likes to hang out and relax and get some nice ear scratches from a friend. She seems like she could be housebroken and already knows how so sit, and we guess she`ll really shine in the consistency of a home rather than the chaotic kennel environment. With other dogs in play group, she was playfully social for her assessment.Miss Vivian is estimated to be around 2 years old and weighs 66 lbs. Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to set up a meet!

Story
Meet Prim! Prim is the full package - she`s personable, smart, active, affectionate, and very pretty! She has a smile to light up the whole room and it is a reflection of her happy, sweet disposition. Prim is a bright, attentive lady who has already had some training. She already knows sit, paw and down and she`s glad to show off her tricks. She also consistently keeps her kennel clean, so we believe she is housebroken. She is curious about the world around her, but remains engaged and attentive to her person too. For her play group assessment with other dogs, she was playfully social. Miss Prim enjoys a healthy balance of snuggles and fun time each day. She has enjoyed outings to the park with volunteers and taking meandering walks to sniff and explore. She can be strong on leash sometimes but is good at picking up on cues. After a walk or quick zoomie session to stretch her legs, though, she is ready to sprawl out and soak up some snuggles and affection. From adventures back to chilling out on the couch, Prim is ready and waiting to be your sidekick. She is estimated to be around 3 years old and weighs 57 lbs.

Story
Baby Girl is out resident cheerful, spunky chunky monkey who is looking for a couch and backyard of her own. She has a joyful disposition and loves sharing her enthusiasm for life with people. As one volunteer put it, she is built like a linebacker runs like a receiver. She has tons of fun playing with toys in the yard, and likes romping around to show off her favorites before checking back in to soak up some affection.Baby Girl has been a frequent flyer at the kennel over the past couple years, and she would love to find a comfy place to stay for good. She is clearly accustomed to home life and probably being treated a bit like a princess. She seems housebroken as she consistently keeps her kennel clean. With other dogs in play group, she was playfully social, though she also seems content to just soak up human attention. At almost 90 lbs, Baby Girl can be strong on leash and it does help to have a yard for her to run around. And in fact, she could definitely use a step program and a cutback on treats to help her get to a healthier weight. Baby Girl is estimated to be around 4 years old.
