Story
Hi there, my name is Lulu! I'm a 10 year-old spayed female Pit Bull Terrier. I am current on my vaccinations, microchipped and heartworm negative! 3 words that describe me: Cuddly, Spunky, Sweet Things my foster has to say about me: She's getting used to car rides and love pup-cups. She love walks and is SO GOOD with kids, even in groups. She seems to have a bit of prey drive (likes to chase after squirrels and bunnies in the backyard) She's such a sweetie and is definitely becoming one of our favs! Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 6/10 Housetraining Status: I was good at keeping my kennel clean but my foster mom says I need work on my potty training in my home. I'm getting used to my routine though! I should do well in a home: I should do well with children of all ages given proper supervision in the beginning. I should do well with other dogs given proper introductions and time to adjust because I did well in playgroups at CRHS. But, my friends at CRHS are unsure how I'd do with cats since I chase squirrels and bunnies in my foster home. My favorite activities are: I LOVE snuggling up with my humans and being involved in what they do. I love going for walks and really enjoy sitting out in the sunshine! Things I need work on are: Potty training routine Doggy day out notes: "Lulu is an nice and easy going dog. When on our walk she stayed by me and paid little mind to the 2 dogs that passed us and other adults. She did great in the car too. At Pet Smart we didn’t see any other dogs and the staff liked her. She allowed them to pet her. Overall, Lulu had a great day and is a relaxed, easy going dog." My adoption fee is: $125 *If you are interested in adopting, please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal

Story
Hello, my name is Bryce. I'm a 3-year-old male chihuahua. I am current on my vaccines, heartworm tested, neutered, and microchipped. I am a foster-to-adopt candidate. 3 words that describe me: Shy, Gentle, Curious Things staff and volunteers have to say about me: I was surrendered from a home with over 30 other chihuahuas. Due to these rough begininnings, I am still learning what it means to be a dog! The world is a big new scary place, but despite being scared I've been slowly but surely making some progress. I would even more progress outside of the shelter environment! I will need an owner who is understanding and willing to take things slow and go at my pace. Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 3/10 Housetraining Status: I am still learning, a consistent schedule and lots of praise will help! I should do well in a home: I am required to go to a home with children 5 years and older to ensure my boundaries are respected. I should do fine with other dogs given proper introductions and time to adjust. My friends at CRHS are unsure how I'd do with cats. My favorite activities are: Relaxing in a quiet and calm environment Things I need work on are: Confidence building, basic commands, housetraining, and walking on leash.

I am current on my vaccines and soon to be heartworm tested, spayed, and microchipped.3 words that describe me: Quiet, Polite, GentleThings staff and volunteers have to say about me: "Dios Mio is so sweet once he gets to know you, he really comes out of his shell outside of his kennel and just needs a loving home to thrive!"Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 6/10Housetraining Status: Still working on it. With some time and a good routine, I will have it down in no time.I should do well in a home: I would do well in a home with other dogs given proper introductions.

Things I need work on are: Confidence building, Basic commands, and housetraining. Any special needs: N/ADoggy day out notes:"Dios Mio is such a sweet dog! He did absolutely amazing on his hike, didn’t pull on the leash at all. He LOVES sticking his head out of the window during car rides. He’s such a cute and loving dog!!""He was the best dog we’ve taken out so far. Incredibly laid back, little skiddish at first, but loves to go for walks and run. Great to take on walks and listens very well.""Dios Mios has great leash manners and loves his walks outside. Although, he is shy initially, he warms up to you pretty fast, especially with food. He is very food motivated and knows the tricks: sit and shake. Dios Mios also seems to like cuddling and getting affection from me when we were inside.""Dios Mio had a great day! We started our adventure with getting a pup cup from Starbucks and Dios Mio thoroughly enjoyed it. He loves to ride in the car. He is the sweetest and calmest boy. He loved going on a walk and strolling around the park. We did get up to a jog and I think he would enjoy getting a jog in here and there. He was great with my kiddos and husband with slow and calm introductions. He would love to cuddle up in your couch and be your bestest boy."Daycare Status: N/AMy adoption fee is: $150Training Requirement if applicable: N/A*If you are interested in adopting, please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal
