Story
Turk is sweet, lovable 4 year old dog(111 lbs) who believes he's a lap dog. Turk is a Saint Berdoodle that we purchased from a local breeder. He is affectionate and loyal once he feels comfortable and gets to know you. Turk has a timid personality, especially around new people. He does best in a calm, lower activity home, as a lot of activity or unfamiliar people can make him nervous. He prefers not to have strangers approach him right away. A few things about Turk: Turk is neutered and microchipped, Completely house trained, crate trained, sweet and loving, listens well to commands, trained with an electronic collar and accustomed to an electric fence; he has always respected the fence boundary, does best with a predictable routine and quieter environment, needs patience meeting new people.Looking for a home that has a yard, calm environment, patience and stability and someone that understands his personality. He is good with other dogs.

Story
Hi, I`m Reina! I`m a beautiful 3-year-old Pit Bull, and I`m still getting used to this whole shelter life thing. I was recently surrendered, and with so many changes happening all at once, I`ve been feeling a little shy when I meet new people. But I`m trying my best! Every day, I`m getting a little braver, and as I become more comfortable, more and more of my personality starts to shine through.Once I trust you, you`ll get to meet the sweet and affectionate girl my previous family knew and loved. They told everyone that I`m an absolute cuddle bug, and I have to admit... they`re right! I love belly rubs, snuggles, and spending quality time with my favorite people. There`s nothing quite like curling up with someone I love and soaking up all the attention.But don`t let my love of cuddles fool you, I have plenty of energy, too! I`m a very active and playful girl who loves to move, explore, and have fun. I enjoy playing with all kinds of toys, including chasing and pouncing, tug-of-war, fetch, and a good chew on a Kong or bone. I even enjoy playing in and around water! I`m looking for a family who will keep up with my enthusiasm for life and include me in walks, adventures, playtime, and all the fun things that make being a dog so great.I’m friendly and affectionate with my family, although I may need a little time to warm up and feel comfortable. Once I’ve had a chance to get to know you, my sweet and affectionate side really starts to shine. I’ve also lived with young children before and did very well with them. I’m housetrained, too, which means I already know some important things about being a great family dog!Right now, the people at the shelter are helping me learn my best manners, too. We`ve been working on loose-leash walking and some basic obedience, and I`m doing my best to learn what they`re asking of me. I`m a smart girl, and I`m sure I`ll keep making progress with someone who is patient, encouraging, and willing to help me succeed.I`m not looking for a perfect family—I`m looking for my family. Someone who will give me a little patience while I find my confidence, a lot of love, plenty of opportunities to play and explore, and a cozy spot where I can finally feel at home. In return, I promise to give you all the love, loyalty, cuddles, and goofy fun I have to offer.Could you be the person I`ve been waiting for? I`d really love the chance to show you just how amazing I can be.If this dog has be

Story
Luke & Leia: Little Puppies, Big Personalities!Meet Luke and Leia, an adorable pair of 8-week-old puppies looking for families ready for all the fun, learning, and work that comes with raising a puppy!Their mom was a Heeler (Cattle Dog) and their dad was a Chihuahua mix, so these little ones have a unique combination of breeds—and they may inherit some of those classic Cattle Dog traits. Cattle Dogs are smart, energetic, loyal, and incredibly driven. They often love having a job to do and can be quick learners, but that intelligence and energy also means they need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, training, and guidance. Herding instincts can also show up as chasing, nipping, or trying to control movement, especially while they`re young.Luke and Leia are pretty outgoing and ready to explore their world. At this age, they are still babies who have a LOT to learn: house training, crate training, leash manners, basic commands, appropriate play, and how to be polite members of the family. Early socialization and positive-reinforcement training will be incredibly important as they grow.And remember—puppies are adorable, but they are also a commitment! Families should be prepared for frequent potty breaks, puppy chewing, nighttime interruptions, training sessions, vet visits, and lots of patience. The tiny puppy you bring home today will grow into an adult dog, and with Luke and Leia`s Cattle Dog heritage, their future family should be ready to keep their minds and bodies busy.If you`re looking for a puppy who will grow alongside your family and you`re ready to put in the time and training to help them become the best dogs they can be, Luke or Leia may be the little adventure buddy you`ve been waiting for!Few can resist a puppy. These adorable, soft bundles of energy are similar to four-legged children with tails. And like children, puppies need a lot of time, care, love, and patience. A puppy will depend on you for frequent and regular feedings and walks, for guidance and training, and for much of your time and your love. Before you plunge into puppy parenthood, make sure to research! There are many rewards to caring for a puppy, but there are also many requirements. Puppy classes are highly recommended for socialization and a positive transition into your home. Puppies love to learn how to be the best dog for your family!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a
