Story
My adoption fee has been sponsored by our friends at Diggity Dawg Daycare Resort and Spa!Hi! I'm Zane. I'm a very friendly guy with lots of energy. The people here tease me that I might be a part kangaroo because I can be a bit jumpy. I'm sure with some help, I can learn when jumping is and isn't okay. The people here don't know much about me, so if you have any other furry friends or younger kids we definitely need to have some introductions to make sure we both like each other. Hope to see you soon! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 69.2 Age: 4yrs 10mths 0wks

Story
My adoption fee is sponsored!Swiss is a handsome, silly pittie who just wants to be loved! He will follow you everywhere you go and will either be sitting on your lap or right next to you. He would love to help you cook in the kitchen, because two of his favorite things are in there...you and food! Despite being a giant lovebug, Swiss loves to be active! Walks are his favorite and getting the zoomies takes the number two spot. He is wonderfully crate trained and will go right in if you ask him to and then he loves chewing on kongs filled with peanut butter until you return. So if you are looking for the sweetest pittie in town, reach out to the adoption team to find out how to meet this half tailed cutie!

Story
My adoption fee is sponsored! Sir Franklin Wigglebottoms is the sweetest boy you will ever meet! His foster gave him the middle name of Snugglebottoms, because he loves cuddling up beside, or on top of, his special person! He loves going on walks for sniffs, and meeting adult humans and other medium to large size dogs along the way. He is goofy, curious and loves to play any game that ends in eating treats. His energy matches his big heart, but after he gets out all those wiggles he is happy to lounge around, receiving all the pets & snuggles his human has to offer. He is smart and trainable, responding extremely well to treat training. He is a lovebug who needs someone to take a chance on him so that he can flourish into the amazing companion he was meant to be!

Story
My adoption fee has been reduced thanks to a generous sponsor!Hello everybody!! The name is Mateo, and I'm a fun-loving pup looking for my forever home! Everyone here at the ARL has been super nice to me while I've been here. I love being around people and making all sorts of new friends! I'm a young doggo with lots of love still left to give. Since I'm younger, I have a lot of puppy energy. But that just means that we can do lots of fun things together like play fetch and go on hikes! Whatever exciting adventure you wanna go on, I can be your canine companion! I'm looking forward to meeting you, come by to meet me when my training buddies are here; M-F 1-4:30pm!

Story
This adorable shy guy is Arrow! Arrow is a 5 year old Pittie mix who is sweet as can be! He can be shy when meeting new people at first, but once he warms up he is a real love. Arrow can go home with kids of any age, as long as they understand he needs a little time to warm up. Arrow would prefer to meet any other dogs in the home due to being selective with the dogs he has met here. If this sounds like your home would be a good fit, come to the ARL today and meet Arrow!

Story
I am free to adopt thanks to a generous donor!My preferred name is Clipsy, please! It makes my tushy wiggle when you call me that! I'm a big handsome boy with lots of love to share. I have the softest black coat with big white patches here and there. It kind of reminds me of a dark nighttime sky with big fluffy clouds. I'm sure that if we go for walks together, I'll get compliments all the time. I love being a snuggle bug and getting tons of snacks. I'm also a smarty pants and already know wait, sit, down, and up! I'm sure with some patience and treats I could learn even more! I might take a little bit of time to warm up to you, but come meet me anyway! Once we make friends, you won't want to go home without me! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 67.5 Age: 2yrs 4mths 4wks
