Waunakee, WI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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).

Marley

Golden Retriever

Male, 7 yrs 11 mos

Waunakee, WI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Marley is an almost 8-year-old neutered male Golden Retriever with a big heart, a goofy personality, and lots of love to give. He’s a sweet, expressive boy who has made great progress settling into his home and continues to show how adaptable and resilient he is. Marley has a history of resource guarding around food and clearly communicates when he feels unsure. With patience, consistency, and thoughtful management, he can be redirected and supported through moments of hyperarousal. Building trust around food will take time, but Marley is responsive and trying hard. He gets along well with other dogs as long as food is not involved and could potentially live with another dog in a patient, attentive home with clear boundaries around feeding and high-value items. Marley loves winter adventures—running in the snow, hanging out during backyard sauna sessions, cuddling by the fire, and enthusiastically participating in sledding (sometimes as an obstacle). He’s a skilled communicator who makes lots of endearing little noises and shows affection by proudly carrying toys or socks as “gifts.” He has most of his basic training down and would thrive in a home with space to roam, ideally somewhere he can run and explore. Marley is a goofy, loving companion who will deeply bond with the right person.

Mia(pronounced Mya)

Golden Retriever Australian Shepherd

Female, Puppy

Waunakee, WI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Mia (pronounced Mya)! Mia is a sweet, smart 10-month-old spayed female Golden Retriever/herding mix with a bright, curious spirit. She has classic Golden charm paired with the intelligence and drive of herding breeds. Mia does well with other dogs and loves romping and playing with the resident dog in her foster home. She can be a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly and bonds fast. Because she has shown some herding instincts, she would do best in a home with children 12 years and older. She is doing well with crate training and is still working on house training, so she’ll need supervision and consistency as she continues to learn. Like many young dogs, Mia must be watched closely so she doesn’t chew on things she shouldn’t. Mia is medium to high energy and thrives when she stays busy and engaged. She loves going on walks, enjoys sniffing and exploring her neighborhood, and would be an excellent candidate for agility or dog sports. She’s very smart and eager to learn—she picked up sit, down, and stay in just a few days! As Mia continues to settle into foster care, her personality shines more each day. She’s proving to be a fun, intelligent, and athletic young dog with tons of potential, ready for an active home that can provide structure, exercise, and mental stimulation.

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I’m super friendly, snuggly, and I LOVE getting pets and cuddles—but I’m also full of energy and love to play! Walks, fetch, snow adventures—you name it, I’m in. I do have a mischievous side… I’m a certified counter surfer and a bit of a toy and clothing thief. I love collecting my treasures and taking them to my bed, so I’m looking for a home with children over 12 who can help me learn boundaries and keep my “treasure hunting” in check. I’m great with other dogs and love saying hi and playing whenever I get the chance. I haven’t lived with a dog full-time yet, but I get along with everyone I meet and would love a furry friend to run and play with. I’m looking for a family that can keep up with my energy, enjoy fun adventures, and still have plenty of time for snuggles and quiet moments. I promise, I’ll give you all my love in return!

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
