Story
Meet Xena, the 46-pound bundle of contradictions and joy! This 1-year-old Collie Shepherd mix is a delightful enigma wrapped in a fur coat. Rescued from a daring freeway dash by a selfless samaritan and some kind-hearted firefighters, Xena is now looking for her forever home. Xena's personality is a delightful blend of her Collie, Shepherd, and Husky lineage. She's loyal, loving, and a bit of a goofball. Energetic yet chill, she’s a talkative, nosey, and stubborn sweetheart who loves to play with toys but isn’t a huge fan of the great outdoors. When she's not making you laugh with her antics, she’s more than happy to cuddle up and bask in your attention. And don’t be surprised if she confidently scoots herself between you and another dog to get her fair share of pets! Training Xena is a bit like taming a whirlwind. She listens well one-on-one, but her focus drifts when other dogs are around. Wire crates are a no-go—she’s an escape artist extraordinaire— but she's perfectly fine being left alone in the house, where she usually lounges on the sofa. During car rides, Xena will provide endless entertainment by barking at people, other animals, and inanimate objects alike. Xena is a social butterfly with dogs, adjusting her play style to suit her furry friends. Whether it's playing rough with the young pups or trying to gnaw and nudge her older buddies, she makes every interaction unique. She hasn’t been tested with cats but we suspect she would probably engage in a chase given her breed! With people, Xena is a mixed bag of bark and shyness. She’ll bark and move towards new folks but becomes wary and shy up close. However, once she warms up, she’s all about the cuddles and pets. She hasn’t spent much time around children, but her calm demeanor suggests she’d be just fine. Energy-wise, Xena is a mixed bundle. She could thrive in either an active home or a more relaxed one, as long as her new family is patient and willing to work with her. A big yard isn’t necessary; she’s content lounging indoors, provided she gets her daily dose of play and mental stimulation. If you’re looking for a quirky, loving, and endlessly entertaining companion, Xena might just be the perfect match. She's a unique character who will bring a lot of love and laughter to her forever home. Ready to give Xena the loving home she deserves? She’s waiting to meet you!

Story
Hansel as you can see is an extremely handsome boy! He's definitely a very loving and loyal young man. He's a giant baby and absolutely adores being by your side along with a toy that he can suck on as he's taken to having a soft toy in his mouth no matter where he goes. A big baby with a big heart. He does love to play with his other foster siblings but is content to just lounge around while you go about your business. Such a great dog shouldn't be without his forever home so if you want to give him the love and attention that he truly deserves please feel free to reach out! And if not you then maybe share to a friend that you think he'd be perfect for! A meet and greet can be arranged too! Kennel trained. UTD on shots. Great with other dogs. Has been amazing with everyone he's met and that includes children. Hasn't been tested with cats. Neutered and Microchipped.

Story
Well now I am here to say that I would love to be your new best friend. I am Pinto, a young and healthy boy about one years old. I’m an athlete, my foster dad says, a runner! We run 5-8 miles at an 8 mile spend when the weather is right. My other hobbies include playing fetch, hanging in the yard with my foster family, but most of all I really love to snuggle and be loved, because I was deserted ,with my brother Hoover as a small helpless pup,I am a little insecure and need some extra love and affection. I for sure will return all your love and more. Will you please give me a chance to come home with you and be your forever loving companion, love Pinto ?

Story
The only thing this Bonnie is trying to steal is your heart. So, she can cherish it forever!She is best described as affectionate, playful, and loving. One hundred percent of the time, she prefers people over dogs. It appears that other dogs intimidate her and she would prefer a home without them as her behavior towards them is best described as avoidant. She is open to the idea of living with a dog who chooses to ignore her and has a calm and gentle demeanor. Bonnie is people orientated and will be overjoyed to have her whole life revolve around you!

Story
This is Gaara’s 2nd Thanksgiving here and hopefully his last holiday without a family!Approximately 1 year and 3 months ago, Gaara`s human mom passed away, his human dad lost everything, and he could no longer provide for Gaara. So, Gaara lost everything he loved, too... Since then, Gaara has waited patiently and with the best manners to be chosen as an addition to a family. Sadly, time and time again, he has been overlooked and passed by. Gaara`s ideal home would be one where he could be the only pet. He does not want to share the love and attention and we do not blame him! Imagine spending a little over a year without a loving family. HE TRULY DESERVES TO BE THE ONLY PET AND TO BE SHOWERED WITH LOVE AND ATTENTION!! PLEASE HELP US FIND HIM A LOVING HOME!Gaara A065549, 4-years, neutered male, Lab mix, 46lbs.
