Story
Hi, my name is Wibur and I am a 7 month old pup DOB 12/02/25.I’m in that fun, energetic teenage phase, and I am looking for a patient, confident leader who will show me the ropes. Because I am a bright and enthusiastic guy with a bit of a working-dog drive, I can sometimes get overly excited and don't always know my own strength. I need an experienced owner who can provide consistent boundaries, strong leadership, and fun training games to channel my energy in positive ways.My perfect match is someone who treats training as a bonding experience. Can help redirect my heading tendencies. If you are ready to be the calm, assertive captain of my team, I will repay you with a lifetime of loyalty, silliness, and affection.I’m healthy, up to date on vaccines, and ready to learn. Come meet me today and let's start our adventure together!I am good with other dogs and people. A home with older kids would be better.Apply at wbdr.org

Story
Hello, My name is Snickerdoodle I was born on August 15th. I am a mixed-breed puppy, and my mom is believed to be a Great Pyrenees/Labrador mix. She is the best mom and has given me and my 7 siblings lots of love and attention. Not sure the breed of our dad but he may have been a mix of lab/shep/hound . In other words we are the best kind of designer breed- lots of breeds to make the best mix! We are all growing fast, so we are expected to be larger dogs (over 50–60 lbs). I am a very happy, playful puppy. Right now, I mostly like to play, eat, and sleep, but I will grow up to be an energetic and joyful companion. I get along great with other dogs, and I am learning to get along with cats, too! I am quite friendly and very curious about all that is around me. If you would like to meet me or any of my siblings, please fill out the application below so we can set up a time to meet. You can also visit us at any of our upcoming fundraisers or meet-and-greet events (listed on our Facebook page).

Story
This sweet boy is ready to find a family of his own! He’s house trained, kennel trained, and knows several commands including sit, paw, wait, back, and catch—he’s a smart pup who loves to learn!Rocky enjoys leisurely walks where he can stop and sniff, car rides, camping adventures, and relaxing on the couch or cuddling in bed with his people. He’s also a fan of toys, especially anything with a crinkle or squeaker.He gets along well with the dogs in his foster home and would do best in a home with children over 8. While he has shown little interest in cats from a distance, he hasn’t had direct interactions with them yet.If you’re looking for a new best friend, get your app in today!Apply at wbdr.org
