Story
Colter is a high energy, fun loving guy who is down for any adventure, hike or a run any day! Cotler loves going for car rides, walking, running, and playing with his dog and human friends. He is also content hanging out in his kennel and enjoing a chew toy while his humans go away from the house without him. Colter would do best in an active home with with no cats and no small dogs. He loves his big boxer brother and loves to play and snugle with him. He also loves to hang out at night on the couch and chill while the humans enjoy a show. He loves doing anything to please his humans, has learned many commands, and is excited to learn more. He would do great in a home with a fenced in back yard. He gets the zoomies and loves to greet everyone walking and driving by, so front yard time has to be supervised on a leash. Colter knows no, ok go, sit, paw, shake, lay down, wait, drop it, no bark and night-night (among others).

Story
Hello there! I have a riddle for you. What do you call a dog with a waggy tail, floppy ears, and a big heart? You call him a Johnny! And guess what...that`s my name! I`m a goofy boy who loves a good butt scratch and cuddles as much as I love sniffing and exploring. I`m friendly and am looking for a new home! I can be a little nervous at first, but with a little patience and a lot of love, I`ll come out of my shell in no time to show you how goofy and loving I am! Don`t believe me? Come on down to see for yourself! Just ask for Johnny! I can`t wait to meet you! Medical History: I appear to be a healthy adult but I do have a history of chronic ear infections and allergies. It`s always a good idea to set up an appointment with your vet soon after adoption so we can meet each other!Home Needs: I would do best in a home with teenagers or older. I`ve lived with a cat before and wanted to play with it, but it wasn`t interested in playing with me. I`ve also enjoyed playing with other dogs in my previous home. Weight: ~ 55 lbsAdoption Fee: $100

Story
I am a fun loving, goofy girl. I'm so happy, I wiggle when I walk! My last person didn't want me anymore and now I crave that special person who will love me as much as I love them. My biggest pleasure in life is to make you happy and laugh. I might look like a stiff wind is hitting me from the side, but it only adds to my silly, quirky personality. I haven't met a person yet that I don't like. In fact, I LOVE everybody. I'm great at cuddles too and I'm so good at being calm and respectful, just give me a few minutes to get over my eagerness to meet you. I work really hard at greeting you with a sit, but sometimes I'm so HAPPY to meet you I might forget my manners and jump, but I quickly stop when you remind me. I'm very good in my crate and I'm house trained. I promise to adore you for the rest of my life. I love playing ball like it is my middle name. Would you like to be my forever person?.

Story
Anna…. She immediately connects with most any person she meets. She enjoys doggy activities but her favorite activity is simply being with you. Deeply snuggling, relaxing. She loves walks, car rides, rubber ball retrieval or lying near you Anna doesn’t just live she thrives on her/your daily routine. If you have a busy day, that’s OK she will spend her day watching you work. She is smart, food motivated and eager to please. Her personality and intelligence make her a great student. She has most of the basic commands mastered and is already house and crate trained. She is ready for that next big step in her life. Remember Anna is a book with only a sentence or two in each paragraph. She is waiting for you to finish her life’s story with her. Someone will get a great companion who would love to spend her day on your schedule. Anna has all the right ingredients; wouldn’t you like to bake the cake?

Story
****Ginger Snap has been with us longer than we would like, so she has been added to our Lonely Hearts Club. Her adoption fee has been covered by a generous donor****Hello there! My name is Ginger Snap — and I’m the perfect blend of playful energy and sweet affection!I’m a spirited girl filled with joyful energy who loves to run and stretch my legs. Give me a fenced yard or some open space and I’ll show you my adorable deer-like leaps as I zoom around with pure happiness. I love exploring with my nose, taking in all the smells while also keeping an eye on the world around me. I have a playful spark that keeps life fun and active!But I have a soft, cuddly side too. I absolutely adore my people. I bond quickly and love being close, whether that means following you upstairs to keep you company, curling up in your lap, or drifting off to sleep while you hold me (I even snore a little!). I’m affectionate, attentive, and happiest when I’m sharing space with my humans. Did I mention I`m a leaner? I do lean in for pets.I’m also smart and curious. I enjoy toys — especially big stuffed ones — and can happily entertain myself with a Nylabone. I already know “sit” very well and am working on “down.” Car rides are still a work in progress, and I may need a little patience as I settle in and learn the routine. But I’m eager to learn, and through it all, I’m loving, gentle, and devoted to my people.Because I like to give my whole heart to my people, I would do best as the only pet in the home so I can soak up all the love and attention — and give it right back to you! Since I need space to run and stretch my long legs, I need a home with a fenced-in yard or large open space (no apartment life for me). If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a playful spirit, a warm heart, and endless cuddles, I’m your girl.I can’t wait to meet you!Medical History: I appear to be a healthy adult, but it`s always a good idea to set up an appointment with your vet soon after adoption so we can meet each other!Home Needs: Single family home in a rural environment where she will be the only pet, preferably with either a fenced yard or a large property for her to run and enjoy the outdoors. We`re looking for a home with no young children under 7 years oldWeight: ~ 80lbsAdoption Fee: Covered by a generous donor
