Story

Hi, my name’s Caleb!I’m a bundle of energy and joy packed into one playful pup. I’m a big, strong boy who can be jumpy when I get excited, but I’m very friendly and love to meet new people!

I’m looking for a home that’s comfortable with my size and excitability, and will find my goofy personality endearing!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers would be great.

Story

Hello! My name is Pippin!I`m a sensitive guy who doesn`t enjoy loud noises or chaotic environments. But when I am relaxing with my foster parents and foster-dog brother, I`m a happy, playful, silly guy who likes to roll around on the carpet, grass, or snow! Whatever scratches my back! I sometimes bark when seeing dogs on leash but with all the amazing support from my foster humans, I`m making really great progress! I`m an affectionate guy who likes to snuggle in bed with my people. I have been blossoming and gaining confidence in my foster home which means that while I used to be nervous of strangers, I`m starting to see that they are actually not that scary! With a family that has a quiet home, a bit of patience, and is looking for a sweet, lovable boy, I will be a great match!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: I`m looking for an adult-only home given my sensitive nature.OTHER DOGS: Yes, with a respectful, calm dog.

Story

Hi there, I’m Donny!I am a sweet boy who gets excited when seeing new people. I can be a bit nervous if people come on too strong but love when they are calm and gentle! I arrived as a stray found roaming in the country. My past is unknown but my GHS humans wonder if I`ve ever lived in a home before. I love to spend ALL day in the outdoor portion of my kennel and would probably stay there all night too, if they`d let me - they don`t, despite my numerous requests, in case you`re wondering. While I was nervous about walking on leash and going through doorways, in just a few quick weeks, I`m now excelling at both! I`m treat motivated and love to bring my toys with me when I lounge outside. I am looking for a home with patient humans that will continue to help me grow my confidence!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers should be okay, but no young children given my sensitive nature.OTHER DOGS: Yes, please! A well-socialized, playful dog would be great!CATS: Potentially, with cat confident & experienced with large dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I’m sensitive and would do best with someone who has dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Yes, so I have a safe place to lounge outside, which is one of my favorite things to do! Rural without a fence may also be an option.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any home with a private yard or rural.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I would make a good match for your home, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply!*In celebration of found family, if I’m adopted during the month of June, my friends at Royal Canin are pleased to offer you one month of my pet food for free!*FOSTER ME!

Story

Hello! My name is Pierogi!I`m a loyal and fun boy with a charming personality! I can be nervous of new people but warm up nicely as long as they give me space (and toss me a few yummy treats). I am affectionate with my humans and enjoy cuddling and leaning into bum scratches. I can be jumpy when I`m excited (who isn`t!?) or stressed. I`m very smart and treat-motivated and it has made learning and training not only successful but also fun for me and my GHS humans. I`m a pretty easy guy who will be happy with some outdoor sniffing adventures followed by some play and snuggles.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: No, adult-only given I can be sensitive.OTHER DOGS: No, I seem to be a bit stressed around other dogs. But with an easy-going dog and a gradual introduction, I may be able to have a walking buddy down the road.CATS: Potentially, with a cat confident around large dogs and an owner committed to a gradual introduction. I have shown some interest in chasing wildlife but my history with cats is unknown.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with humans who have previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Recommended since I can get stressed around other dogs. The fenced yard gives a break from relying on leash walks.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings or areas where dogs will inevitably come into my personal bubble.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!*In celebration of found family, if I’m adopted during the month of June, my friends at Royal Canin are pleased to offer you one month of my pet food for free!*FOSTER ME!
