What a great pup! Mateo is 6 months old and already 44 lbs. He is doing awesome with his crate training and is a dream to train. He has a mild temperament and gets along with dogs and migrates to kids. This handsome boy will make an excellent companion for outdoor sports. He just wants to be with his person and learn the world with structure. Mateo also, as you can see, knows how to chill out on the couch. No telling him to go lay down. He's there!

Story
Hi there! My name is Otto, and if you`re looking for a best friend who will make you smile every single day, I think we should meet! I`m a handsome tricolor pittie with a big grin, an even bigger heart, and enough love to fill your whole home. I absolutely love being with my people, whether we`re heading out on an adventure, hanging around the house, or snuggling up together on the couch. Being your loyal sidekick is my absolute favorite job!I`m a playful, energetic guy who enjoys making new friends of the human variety. Everyone I`ve met has said I`m friendly and affectionate, and I love welcoming human visitors into my home. I`m always excited to see the people I care about!When it comes to other dogs, I can be a little selective. Sometimes I hit it off right away and have a great time playing or hanging out, while other times I can be a bit grumbly or my enthusiasm is just a little too much for another dog. Because of that, if you already have a canine companion, the shelter would be happy to help us meet first to make sure we`re a good match. Inside the house, I`m a perfect gentleman. I`m crate-trained, have some basic obedience skills, and I`m happiest when I`m close to my favorite humans. If you`re looking for a giant snugglebug who wants to be your constant companion, I fit that description perfectly. I am still polishing my leash manners, though, so my shelter friends have been helping me learn how to walk nicely without pulling. I`m a smart boy, and with a little patience and consistency, I`m sure I`ll keep improving.Now, I should tell you one important thing about myself—I can be a bit of an escape artist! If I spot wildlife, my instincts kick in and I would love to chase after it. Because of that, I really need a securely fenced yard where I can safely play and burn off some of my energy. It will help keep me safe while giving me the freedom to enjoy being the active dog I am.My last family loved me very much, but after adopting me, they realized that my youthful energy was simply more than they could comfortably manage. They described me as very active, playful, affectionate, and friendly with everyone who visited. They also mentioned that when I get really excited during playtime, I sometimes jump up and can be a little mouthy. I`m not trying to be rude, I`m just having fun! With continued guidance and positive training, I`m learning better ways to express my excitement.Before that, I became pret

After his previous owner made the difficult decision to surrender him, Goose is ready to find a family to call his own.Like a true German Shepherd, Goose is devoted to his people and takes his job of loving and protecting them seriously. When he`s off duty, you`ll find him splashing in the pool, snoozing in a cozy bed, proudly playing with his favorite buckets, or keeping the neighborhood squirrels on their toes!Goose has done well with older children and would thrive in a home with someone who understands and appreciates the German Shepherd breed. If you`re looking for a smart, faithful companion who`s equal parts guardian and goofball, Goose might just be your perfect match!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings.

Story
Hi there! My name is Stitch, and if you`re looking for a best friend who can keep you laughing, keep you company, and occasionally convince you that belly rubs should be a full-time activity, then I think we should meet.I`m what the humans here call `the total package.` I love toys, fetch, tug-of-war, zooming around the yard, and pretty much any game that involves having fun. If there`s a squeaky toy nearby, there`s a very good chance I`ll be investigating it. I also enjoy chewing on Kongs and bones, chasing and pouncing on toys, and showing off my impressive ability to entertain myself when needed.After all that excitement, though, I`m more than happy to transform into a cuddle expert. I love being close to my people, whether that`s curling up beside you on the couch, leaning against your leg, or volunteering for belly rub duty. My previous family described me as affectionate, friendly, playful, and even a bit of a lap dog. Personally, I think `professional snuggler` sounds more impressive.Like most young dogs, I still have plenty of enthusiasm for life. Sometimes I get so excited to meet new people that I forget my manners and jump up to say hello. I`ve lived with children between the ages of 6 and 10 and did well with them, although my excitement can occasionally get the better of me.The good news is that I`m smart, eager, and very motivated by attention.You may notice that I walk a little differently than some other dogs. I was born with a deformity in my back right leg caused by an angular limb deformity, which affected the way the bones grew as I developed. The veterinary team here consulted with an orthopedic surgeon and determined that I am currently comfortable and doing well without surgery or amputation. Sometimes it may cause me mild discomfort, but honestly, I don`t spend much time worrying about it. I have too many important things to do, like chasing toys, making friends, and seeing if you`re available for cuddles. My leg is just one small part of my story, not the thing that defines me.What I`m really looking for is a family who will love me, laugh with me, play with me, and continue helping me grow into the amazing dog I`m meant to be. I promise to bring plenty of affection, entertainment, and companionship in return. If you`re searching for a sweet, goofy, loving sidekick with a big heart and an even bigger personality, I think your search may be over.What do you say? Let`s start our happily
