Story
Hello there, I`m Sable! As a senior dog, you wouldn`t know it though because I still have puppy energy. I`m a friendly soul, once I get to know you and I love to explore the great outdoors. So much so, that I tend to like to stay out there all of the time. My energy is contagious, and my loyalty is as steadfast as they come. I`m a bit selective about my dog friends and would likely do fine all on my own. I`d need a home with a fenced yard to satisfy my need for the outdoors. Apartments aren`t really my style, I need room to roam. I promise to bring joy, loyalty, and a sense of adventure to your life. Will you be my forever friend?4DX Test – Lyme +An IDEXX 4DX test was performed in shelter using whole blood, and a positive Lyme test result was noted. Rarely, false positive tests can occur. This test was performed as a part of routine wellness care, and this patient is not currently exhibiting any signs related to Lyme disease. This condition was transmitted by a tick bite from an infected tick, and there is no risk of transmission between dogs and other species (including humans). Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi from an infected tick. This patient has been given a prophylactic treatment course of Doxycycline (an antiobiotic). It is recommended that you follow up with your primary care veterinarian to establish a preventive healthcare plan post adoption, including tick prevention.

Hi, I`m Rachel Ray! The name is perfect for me because I`m a big foodie!!! I love treats, especially yummy freeze dried ones! I am a very nervous girl. I don`t tend to trust humans right off the bat. I might sniff you and give you some strange looks because I don`t know what to make of you. I think it`s normal for dogs to get a bit spooked and untrusting in this kind of setting. Once I get to know you though, everything will change and you will say what nervous girl? Once I’m settled into a home I am the complete opposite! Funny how these feeling things can be so tricky. Once I’m settled in and trust you, I’m a bit of a wild child. I’m very high energy. I have learned lots of cues but I do struggle with getting over stimulated. Unfortunately this turns into jumping and me putting my mouth on you. It’s just how I have learned to communicate my overwhelming feelings. I will need an active adopter who is willing to help teach me to communicate in a different way. I promise I’m a lovely lady. I’m playful but also very affectionate. If you can get my beans out in the back yard (maybe with a fun and playful doggo friend) and work on my sillies, I will be the best doggo. I am looking for a very patient and respectful home that understands my needs and will give me space and time to warm and then will be ready to do lots of active things with me once we are BFFS. If you have the patience and dedication to helping a nervous girl like me blossom, then I can`t wait to meet you!

Story
Hey there, I`m Simba! I`m a young, smart, cuddly, and playful goofball with an energy level that rivals a marathon runner. I`m the life of any party, always on the go, and eager to explore. My curiosity knows no bounds, but it did land me here in the shelter. You see, I once mistook a police car for a giant toy, and gave chase, causing quite a spectacle! But don`t worry, I`m not a criminal, just a fun-loving pup with a zest for life. The animal protection officer lady picked me up and said `buddy, you don`t belong outside!`. What she didn`t know was, this ain`t my first rodeo! I`m a frequent flyer at the shelter and have been known to be a stray before. I`m just an escape artist, ready to rock and roll at any exit or opening for adventure! It`s safe to say you`ll need to keep a close eye on me and my crazy antics! I have A LOT of personality. I`m your typical high energy, fun-loving Lab always ready to have a party! I do need some work on my excitement and basic training, but I know in a home with someone that will burn off my energy, be patient, and meet my needs, I will thrive and make such a great companion! If you`re looking for a sweet, friendly, and rambunctious companion who can make you laugh, look no further. Adopt me, and let`s create our own comedic tales!

Story
Hi there. My name is Chinook.I`m a senior guy looking for a new place to crash. You see, my owner got really sick and had to leave me behind and unfortunately no one took care of me for some time. I was living outside with my other dog friend and we got food and water but that`s about it. When I came here I was super matted and had lots of skin issues but the great people here took really good care of me. I`m feeling so much better now and am on the road to recovery. I`m a special paws dog because I have lyme disease and hypothyroidism, which means that I need medication lifelong. But this also means my adoption fee is up to you!I am a husky mix who loves to love. I enjoy cuddling and going for short walkies in my spare time. If I`m not walking or cuddling then I am probably spending the rest of my time napping. I should let you know that i prefer a home without cats, or small animals! I do have a lot of fur normally but I had to be shaved so I might look a bit different than my pictures. I bet my before and after pics will be STELLAR!Anyways, if you are looking for a cuddle buddy who loves affection and doesn`t take much work (with the exception of my meds) then please apply to adopt me today!

Story
Hello human, you can call me Bolt. I am a cute and curious golden oldie who is in need of a furever home. I can be a little hesitant in unfamiliar situations and hope that my future adopter will give me the time I need to get comfortable. I need some time to trust new people and prefer choosing to come to you myself over you coming to me. Once i`ve sniffed you out and settled into a environment I`m happy to sit by your side and soak up as many chin scratches as you have to offer. When you`re busy I like to tend to my surroundings and check out anything I have yet to investigate or on the off chance I might find something like a toy to entertain me for a moment. I can also be vocal from time to time and have no problem sharing my opinions with you or carrying a riveting conversation.I haven`t gotten the proper socialization in my previous life that us doggos need. I will need a patient adopter willing to take their time with me and help show me the ropes. But hey, I`m up for this adventure if you are!! I`m really looking forward to finding my spot in your heart and in your home!

Story
Hi there, I`m Thor! I might be a little shy at first, but I promise I warm up quickly. I love to play and I`m pretty good on leash when we go for walks. I`ve lived with dogs before. I`m a pretty friendly guy, always ready for a cuddle or a game of fetch. And kids? I`ve lived with them too but can be a bit nervous of the louder, fast moving ones. If you have children they should be respectful. I`ve heard people say I`m sweet, and I think they`re right. I just need a chance to show you how much love I have to give. So, why adopt me? Because I`m full of affection, fun and loyalty. I promise, with me, every day will be an adventure filled with love and joy.
