Story
Bartleby here! I’m guessed to be about 1 1/2 year old & a border collie mix, & I’ve topped out at about 55lbs. Mom says I’m a very good boy. I sleep quietly through the night, & my manners are impeccable. I get along with my doggy foster siblings - all various sizes & personalities. I don’t live with any cats, but I’ve had interactions with them & am very respectful. I’ll do best in a home with kids over 10 or younger ones who know to be patient with me as I’m a very shy boy until I warm up. Another confident, energetic, & similar-sized dog is mandatory for me - I always look to my foster siblings to tell me what to do in a new situation & they help me feel safe. My new family will need to be patient as I come out of my shell, but the reward is worth the wait. I’m the sweetest boy & love being near my people. I’m looking for a very special family who is willing to go at my pace instead of forcing me to go at theirs. I need a calm home where I can feel safe & continue building my confidence on my time.DATCP# 483538

Story
Merlin is a wonderful dog & very loved in her foster home. She’s a Chow Chow, & her adopters should have some understanding of her breed. Although she warms up quickly, she tends to be cautious in the beginning. She’s skittish around children and new people. She loves car rides and would be happy to join her person on any adventures. Families with older children will be considered on a case by case basis. Children will need to be able to control their behavior around her. She’s done well with the dogs she’s met, but after raising her puppies she might also love to be the only pet getting all of the attention. She loves to go on walks, usually keeping a loose leash & she doesn’t bark when passing other people or dogs. She will need a strong handler for when she sees small animals and pulls on her leash. She’s not been around cats, but she’s very interested in the small critters like squirrels & bunnies that she’s seen outside & might want to chase a cat. She’s calm & relaxed at home, but also is up for a little playtime. She’s mostly potty trained & does okay in her crate, but also has been trusted to not get into trouble when given free roam. Merlin has bilateral medially luxating patellas- grade 3 and 4. Although this doesn’t appear to have an affect on her quality of life now, she could need surgical intervention in the future. Applicants are encouraged to consult their veterinarian to learn more about what the long term care could entail before applying. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, apply to meet Merlin!DATCP#483538

Story
Peppermint Patty is a 2 year old mixed breed who couldn’t possibly be sweeter. She came to Wisconsin in December filled to the brim with puppies & gave birth to eight perfect Peanuts in her foster home in January. After some much-needed relaxation & rest from being the best mama, she is ready to find her family! She’s about 45lb, is crate trained, & is doing very well with potty training when kept on a schedule. Peppermint is very food-motivated & eager to please, so continued training should be a breeze. She gets along great with other dogs & kids. Cats are unknown, but it’s assumed she’ll do just fine.Get your application in to learn more about her!DATCP#483538

Story
Faith is a sweet, shy, quiet, 4yo, 7lb chihuahua. She takes a while to trust; her last people dumped her at a shelter with her baby. But once she trusts you, you'll be surprised at how great she is. She'll need some training & guidance, but she'll fall into your routine quickly. She does like to chase & bite cats, so a home without them is better. She's a gem. No apartments please. DATCP#483538

Story
Portland is a sweet fun-loving hound mix who is estimated to be about 1.5 years old & weighs about 55lbs. He has a beautiful brindle color, a love of people & a general easy-going personality.Portland is doing quite well in his foster home with two teenagers & three other dogs. He absolutely loves cuddles & wants to be by his humans & please them. Also, he is gentle & friendly to visitors. He is house broken & sleeps with the teenagers at night. Portland is crate trained & goes in the crate with nylabones when left alone. He is still young & may try to chew on things laying around, so he needs to be watched. He is food motivated.Portland loves to play with other dogs wrestling & chasing though does better with dogs who are his size or bigger. He also loves the water. He loves going on walks though needs more work & patience as he pulls so a harness works best. He also has a prey instinct looking for bunny & birds nests & chasing them out of the yard. He would do best with a fenced yard or to be supervised on a lead outside.Portland will need a patient & consistent adopter who is willing to further train him with commands & provide daily exercise. He is a good, handsome sweet boy who will make a great companion to his furever family. DATCP#483538

Story
Bristol is a 1-year-old, 44-pound, lab mix. She is super sweet & loves affection, especially belly rubs. Bristol was found as a stray on the streets of Texas & was in a shutdown state when she arrived at the Texas shelter. After about a week, her true self came out & she loved playing with the other dogs. She likes tug toys & squeakers. She will need someone patient enough to let her slowly come out of her shell. She would be too scared of small, unpredictable children & would love a home with another medium energy dog to play with.DATCP#483538
