Story
3 yr. Old pitbull mix. She has had her shots and has been spayed. Recently moved and just don't have the space she needs. She needs to be able to go out and run. She loves to lay on the couch and nap. She's very calm and loving but would be best in a home as an only dog. Looking for a small removing fee to ensure good home also negotiable just ask. And will come to you if I need to and is not to far away from me

Story
Meet Ellie, the enchanting black furball with a personality as charming as her appearance. Her little white whiskery beard gives her a distinguished look, and those big, pointy ears add an element of adorable quirkiness. Ellie's button eyes may be small, but they sparkle with intelligence, reflecting her sharp mind and curious thoughts.Despite her cleverness, Ellie is a bit on the shy side, making her all the more endearing. Once you break through her initial reserve, you'll discover a lovey-dovey side to her. She's the ultimate snuggle companion, turning any quiet evening into a cozy affair. Moreover, Ellie has mastered the art of being a great car passenger, making road trips a joy with her calm demeanor and sweet disposition. In her presence, every journey becomes an adventure filled with warmth and companionship. Ellie is not just a bundle of cuteness; she's a well-behaved gem in the household. At 9 years old, she is house-trained to perfection, you can count on her to keep the living space tidy and accident-free. She understands the cues of domesticity with an impressive repertoire of tricks up her furry sleeve. From basic cues to pattern games, Ellie's sharp mind eagerly takes on challenges, making her an engaging companion for those who appreciate intelligence in a four-legged friend.While Ellie may be the ideal partner for adults seeking a loyal and clever companion, she leans towards a serene environment. Her preference for a home without children or other pets reflects her desire for a peaceful haven where she can truly thrive. This discerning choice makes her the perfect match for individuals or couples looking to share their lives with a canine companion who craves a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.In essence, Ellie is not just a charming canine; she's a well-rounded companion who brings both brains and beauty to the table. Her house-trained habits, knowledge of cues, and aversion to the chaotic energy of children and other pets make her an excellent fit for those who appreciate a tranquil yet intellectually stimulating canine presence in their lives.For more information about our adoptable animals and/or to submit an adoption inquiry, please visit animalretreat.org.

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We're looking to rehome our 2.5-year-old Goldendoodle/Lab mix. This has been a difficult decision, but we want what's best for him and our family. He is a loving, energetic dog who enjoys being with his people, playing, and spending time outdoors. He has a lot of potential and would do best with an active owner who can provide consistent training, structure, and attention. With young children in our home, we've experienced behavioral concerns that make us feel he would be better suited for a home without small kids. We want to be upfront about this so we can find the right fit. He deserves a home where he can get the time, training, and environment he needs to thrive. If you have experience with dogs and think you might be a good match, please reach out and tell us a little about yourself and your home.

Story
Meet Katara, a 3.5-year-old, medium-sized sweetheart who is ready to find her forever family. This special girl is full of love, energy, and personality—she absolutely adores people and has never met a belly rub she didn’t like. She’s also dog-friendly and enjoys having four-legged pals, though she’ll need a cat-free home.Katara is both housetrained and crate-trained, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate dog. She’s playful, smart, and loves learning new things—especially if meaty treats or even pancakes are involved! Her favorite hobbies include swimming, shredding toys, and being by your side for any adventure.Because Katara has a lot of enthusiasm for life, she may be a little too energetic for small children or seniors, but in the right home she will thrive. She does take medication for anxiety, and what helps her most is having a stable home and a predictable routine. With patience, structure, and love, Katara will blossom into the very best friend you’ve ever had.They say dogs are a man’s best friend, and they must have been talking about Katara—because she’s just waiting to be yours.For more information about our adoptable animals and/or to submit an adoption inquiry, please visit animalretreat.org.

Meet Daisy! Daisy is still pretty new to us, but she is quite the sweetheart. She enjoys everyone she meets and really want to hang out with our volunteers. She's still young, our current guess is 2 years old.  She appears to be house trained. But with any new dog in your home, she will need to learn your routine as you will need to learn her cues that she needs to go out. Sh e is still young, so she is ready to learn even more! Come meet Daisy and see if she's just what you've been looking for! All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered (if they are old enough) before they leave the shelter. If the dog is not old enough, you will be given a voucher for Animal Medical Center in Emmett to cover the cost of the spay or neuter and a one year rabies vaccine. Please fill out an application if you are interested in this dog or call us today for more information.         Because we are an all-volunteer organization, please call ahead to schedule a time for a Meet & Greet so we can ensure a dog handler is available to show you the dog or dogs you are interested in.         Pet Adoption League  1526 N.
