Story
Linus is a sweet dog. He loves to to play fetch and understands basic commands such as sit, wait, lay down, and heel. He is very high energy and with the birth of a fifth child, we have come to admit that we’re simply unable to give him the excercise and attention he deserves. Without an outlet for his energy, he has been hyper inside and difficult to leave outside of his crate. He a year and half, and we’ve read that sheepadoodles tend to settle down around two years. We had hoped getting neutered would help, but again, he ultimately needs the excercise his breeding demands. We will sincerely miss him, but know he deserves more. Thank you for your consideration!

Story
Meet Kathy! Kathy is a delightful Chihuahua mix with a curious spirit and a big love for people. She’s very social and wants to be part of everything, always inquisitive and eager to see what’s going on around her. Kathy does wonderfully in her crate and now goes all night without accidents. She’s doing great with housetraining as long as she stays on a consistent schedule. This active little girl enjoys staying busy but is just as happy snuggled up in a soft, warm blanket once playtime winds down. If you’re looking for a friendly, curious companion who loves comfort and connection, Kathy could be the perfect addition to your home. 🐾 Apply to adopt Kathy at www.tailsofhopewi.org!

Story
Hi, My name is Brenda. I'm a 1.5yr old wire haired terrier mix. I grew up in the kennel since I was 3 months old so everything is new to me, some sounds scare me but I'm very curious.. I have to be the only dog in my house cuz I like to be top dog. I'm semi potty trained. I know how to go outside, but I still have accidents. I do really well in my kennel. I just need someone to spend the time with me to train me
