Story
Remi is a loving and protective 3 yr old rescue. He's come a long way with our family, but has become extra protective since our twins joined the pack, especially with less familiar folks, therefore sadly we decided to re-home him. He loves attention and pets and belly rubs. He thinks he's a lap dog and will literally sit his bottom in your lap. He isn't good with most other dogs, reacts by barking lunging etc. likely due to lack of early socialization as a stray, paired with anxiety, but he did befriend our dog trainers dachshund. We use a pinch collar to help keep him under control on walks. He does well with our cat although we have a gate separating them moreso because the cat is super skittish. He has been gentle and relatively calm around the babies, but would probably be better around older kids/teens. He loves peanut butter, cheese and hot dogs. He takes some time to build trust. He's never had accidents inside, but also has hip dysplasia that's controlled with pain medication.

Story
Meet Logan! Logie is a 10 month old Lab/Cattle Dog mix who is full of energy and personality. He is a little comedian who loves all humans and dogs alike. Logan is mostly house trained aside from an accident here and there which can be attributed to me being away for longer than ideal times. Logan is honestly a dream of a dog but I am a single dog dad and don't have the time to put into both training him and giving him the life I know he deserves. He would be a great addition to any family with kids, dogs, or a couple who is wanting a great puppy! He is deserving of a great situation he can thrive in. Logan is neutered, up to date on rabies/bordetella/lyme/leptospirosis shots and tablets. He is also microchipped. Please don't hesitate to reach out 🙂

Story
Hades may have a big name, but this approximately 4-month-old black Pitty mix is more of a lovebug than a ruler of the underworld. Wherever you go, he wants to go too—whether it’s the couch, the backyard, or even the shower (he promises not to judge).If you’ve got kids who understand that puppies come with a side of goofy chaos, Hades is their perfect sidekick. He’s the class clown of the canine world—always up for a game, an adventure, or an impromptu trampoline session (yes, he loves bouncing).With a heart as big as his puppy paws, Hades is all about companionship. He’s treat-motivated and eager to please, making him a smart little student ready to learn all the good-boy skills. His favorite things? Wrestling with his dog friends, playing with all the toys he can find, and hopping up onto a chair like a little gentleman—just to sit and "chat" with you.Though he’s naturally submissive, Hades can sometimes be that younger sibling—full of energy and excitement, even when older dogs might be ready for a nap. But don’t worry, he’s learning!If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loyal pup who will follow you anywhere (literally), Hades is your guy. Come meet him—he’s ready to be your best friend for life!apply at wbdr.org
