Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mollie is a little over 1 year old. She was dumped on the current owner's property at 5 weeks old. She does well in the house. She is crate trained, but will eat the dog bed. Paws at the crate while inside as well. She currently chases cats, and it is unknown what she would do if she caught a cat. She does bark at cats she sees outside. Unknown how she does with dogs, but was taken once to the dog park and responded reactively, so will need someone willing to train/socialize her more with dogs. She barks and lunges at people outside while on walks, but is responding well to training against this currently. When she was a younger puppy, she was allowed to greet everyone, so she is overaroused and frustrated at not being able to investigate everyone she sees. She pulls hard on the leash, but is also responding well to this training, and with consistent corrections, has started to not pull as much. She will need an active pet home or perhaps a sport dog home. She needs consistency.

Story
Mozzy is a good sweet boy. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old. He loves to socialize. He would do best with a large fenced yard to run and play. He has been the only pet but he loves to go play with other dogs and would probably love to have a home with another dog to play with. If there is anyone out there with a farm I think he would love that. He loves to run. He also does very well indoors and never has an accident. We are moving and can not accommodate Mozzy needs.

Story
Meet Sugar!Sugar is a sweet, loving girl looking for her perfect forever home. She loves being with her people and would happily spend all day in your lap or by your side. She's wonderful with kids, potty trained, great on a leash, loves car rides and adventures, and sleeps with my son.We took Sugar in after another family could no longer care for her, but we've realized we're not home enough to give her the attention she deserves.Sugar's ideal home is with someone who is home most of the day (retired or works from home) and where she is the only dog. She is food aggressive with other dogs and doesn't like it when she's not the center of attention. She has bitten our other dog many times. Sugar will chew on things if left alone too long.We were told she is spayed and microchipped.We're committed to finding the right home for this sweet girl. If you think Sugar could be your new best friend, send me a message!

Story
Think you’re smart? Meet Smarter Than A Fifth Grader! This black-and-white Border Collie-type beauty may be around 8 years old, but she’s still got plenty of brains, charm, and personality to share. Weighing in at 51 pounds, Smarter Than A Fifth Grader is a friendly, social girl who enjoys meeting new people and making fast friends wherever she goes. She already knows a few commands and is eager to show off her impressive canine IQ—after all, she has a reputation to maintain! Like many clever Border Collie types, she`ll thrive in a home that gives her a job to do, whether that`s learning new tricks, solving puzzle toys, participating in dog sports, or simply having fun training sessions with her favorite people.One of her favorite `assignments` is playing fetch—she`s always happy to chase a ball and would love a family that shares her enthusiasm for a good game. Smarter Than A Fifth Grader has reached that wonderful stage in life where she’s past the puppy chaos but still ready for adventures, walks, and plenty of mental enrichment. She may not be the best fit for a home with other dogs, and because of her active, intelligent nature, she`d likely do best with older kids who can respect her space and enjoy interacting with her. With her sweet personality, sharp mind, and lovable spirit, this clever girl is sure to earn top marks in the right home. No pop quiz required—choosing Smarter Than A Fifth Grader is an easy A+!The dog adoption fee is $110.

Story
Moon Pie is every bit as sweet as her name suggests! This adorable 5-year-old, 55-pound bully breed mix is a black-and-white beauty with a heart full of love and the cutest submissive smile you`ve ever seen. She can be a little unsure when she`s taking in new people or places, but once she realizes she`s among friends, her affectionate, gentle personality shines. Whether she`s chasing a tennis ball, happily rolling around in the grass, or taking her time to sniff every fascinating scent along the trail, Moon Pie finds joy in the little things—and she`s hoping to find someone to share them with.Just like the classic treat she`s named after, Moon Pie has layers to discover. Beneath her slightly timid moments is a loyal, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She was previously reported to not get along with other dogs, but we haven`t observed that behavior in the shelter. She`s been comfortable around other dogs in the kennel, though she hasn`t had opportunities to meet them outside of that setting, so any resident dogs should meet her first. If you`re looking for a sweet, soulful best friend with a smile that will brighten even the cloudiest day, Moon Pie is ready to make your life a whole lot sweeter.The dog adoption fee is $110. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, first set of vaccines including DAPP (parvo combo), Bordatella (kennel cough), have been dewormed with Pyrantel, and have been treated with selamectin for fleas.Our website updates every hour, but some animals may be adopted faster than we can get them updated online.If you`d like to check on the status of an animal, please call us at 360-352-2510.
