Gentle, sweet, friendly, well-socialized. Good with other dogs and living with 2 other dogs in her foster home. Not cat tested. Great with kids. Medium energy level outside, settles down quickly inside, quiet and well-mannered, low maintenance. Affectionate with her people and loves to cuddle. Crate trained and housebroken.

Story
Meet drift! She has so much love to give . Every waking moment is eagerness to run and play with her friends, people and other doggies. She’s extremely active, so she ideally would need a large space to run in. The off leash dog park experience would definitely be her thing. If you have another dog , she’d love to meet them! We believe she’s a very easygoing and lighthearted dog to have around. Love life together! All animal adoptions are typically $80. For puppies and kittens under the age of 6 months, adoptions are $100. For dogs, this includes the first series of vaccinations, deworming, spay/neuter, heartworm testing and heartworm preventative.

Story
Bam Bam is loads of fun! He has all the pupper energy you are looking to play with and he can't wait to follow you everywhere begging for attention. If you need another dog to play with your existing dog, he would love to! He needs to be watched and potty trained because shelter life and hours cannot give him the training and outside breaks he needs to learn. If you don't mind that, though, he really is a fun dog to have around and will keep you very active. But when he crashes, he will need a comfy spot to zonk out and looks so cute all curled up. He's been tried a couple times, but returned because of his puppy behavior. We believe he just hasn't found the right place yet where he belongs. All animal adoptions are typically $80.

Jesse Quick really lives up to her name! She loves to run and explore both inside and outside. Enthusiasm would perfectly describe her. She has an intelligence about her that i would love to see engaged. One thing to note is that she does give love nips. Don't let her scare you, she's just excited. She tends to do it when being leashed. Otherwise she is affectionate. She needs lots of exercise and sunshine. When you join her outside, both of you will have a great time!
