Story
Harper is the best dog. She is sweet with all people and has a calm and relaxed disposition. Unfortunately we are having issues with her and our other dog getting in fights. We have worked with them again and again, but have come to the decision that Harper might be overall a happier dog if she was the only dog in the house (we have 2 others). She is overall uninterested in other dogs, not reactive typically. She loves to lounge around most of the day and enjoys a good walk and some play time with her flirt pole in the backyard. She also enjoys lick mats and kongs. If you give her the stimulation she needs, she is the best dog. She’s good with kids, but would probably do best with older/calmer kids. She would make a great companion if you want a dog that is affectionate, but not clingy. We will continue to work with her in the household, but ultimately we want what is best for our sweet girl. We will not settle for anything less than someone who will love her as much as we do.

Story
Maya is soft gal ready to leap into her new home just in time for summer! Her previous family noted she enjoys running, lounging in the sun, and long walks and hikes! Maya's previous family shared she has experience with a small circle of dog friends but struggles to form new relationships and prefers a slower, thoughtful introduction. For this reason Maya is recommended for a single dog household. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 74.8 Age: 6yrs 0mths 2wks

Story
Costco is a very snuggly boy who loves playing with other dogs, does well at doggy daycare, and loves cats. Unfortunately we don't have a yard at our new place and with a new baby we don't have time to bring him places to get his wiggles out. This boy needs a place where he can run around and burn off energy instead of being cooped up all day. He is reactive on leash - he REALLY wants to play with other dogs and can't pass by a ball being thrown without wanting to get it! - so he'd need a little training, but he's very smart and treat motivated. This boy loves to curl up on the couch with you or lie on top of you while you're in bed. He's always down for scratches and can hop like four feet straight up in the air. It's the cutest thing ever. He's a very good boy who is going to make some family very happy!

Story
Hi, I'm Blake (but feel free to call me Handsome, too)! I'm a charming young pup currently living with my foster parents, who have shown me the ropes. Now, I'm ready to find my forever family and start a serious relationship! As a bonus, I come with an award-winning starter pack: I'm potty and crate trained! This means I'll fit seamlessly into your routine. Plus, I'm a breeze to walk on a leash – most of the time, that is! (More on that later.) My foster mom reminds me to be honest, so here's the truth: I LOVE FRISBEES! After a disc golf outing with my parents, I was hooked! Those flying discs need my attention, and I can get a bit excited, which might make my leash line tighten up occasionally. But hey, it's all in the name of fun! Aside from my frisbee enthusiasm, I'm a smart boy who knows how to sit, stay, and come. I'm eager to learn more and would love treats in exchange for my efforts! When I'm not playing or learning, you can find me enjoying toys, playing chase, snoozing on the sofa, or joining my parents on hikes and brewery visits. Although I might be a bit shy at first and bark at new faces, give me a minute or two, and I'll forget all about my fears and become your new best friend! So, can we be friends? Blake is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on shots. His adoption fee is $375. If you're interested in meeting this charming boy, please submit an adoption application: https://dooverdogs.com/multi-step-adoption-form-1/

Story
Trixy was adopted from a local adoption center when she was 4 months old 12 years ago. Her birthday is on April 13th. She’s lived the majority of her life free-roaming, in a backyard and in a house with occasional walks and hikes to the mountains. She could be described as very shy and timid at first, but later opens up to be a very sweet and affectionate girl. She loves going on walks and dislikes going in water. She loves eating, her favorite foods being bananas and steak. She is a good dog for a quiet home with loving people and ample space, as she is a senior and doesn’t have puppy energy anymore. Trixy also loves head scratches and all the attention ever.

Story
Meet Henry; a cheerful, loveable, playful, intelligent puppy!  He loves to watch hocky, basketball, and adventure shows while snuggling on the couch.   Henry loves to play in the snow, creating tunnels with his nose and bouncing through the snowbanks!  The baby pool is also a great place to play - trying to dive for tennis balls and other toys is grat fun!  Born around Christmas 2023, Henry possesses a special charm that aligns with the festive season in which he was born. He lives with three other adult dogs so Henry has already started learning some social etiquiette and how to read other dog's social signals. But of course it will be important for his new family to continue socializing this friendly pup! Rescued alongside his mother and siblings, Henry has been nurtured with love and care by a compassionate couple who opened their home to him and his family. His happy and well-adjusted demeanor is a testament to the positive environment he has thrived in. While we can't be certain of his exact breed, he resembles a Sheperd Mix. There are certainly many other breeds mixed in his lineage. Henry inherited his mother's amiable temperament and he will be a wonderful companion for some lucky family. Impressively, Henry is already adapting to using the dog door and making strides in potty training, showcasing his quick-learning abilities. As an all-around delightful pup, Henry is ready to bring joy and companionship to a loving forever home. Henry is approximatley 4 months old and weighs around 30 lbs.  When he's all grown up, he should be a larger dog (~60 lbs).  Please remember, training a puppy is an essential and rewarding process that helps foster a strong bond between you and your furry friend while establishing good behavior and habits. Consider enrolling you and your new puppy in training classes. These can provide structured guidance and socialization opportunities. Remember that each puppy is unique, and training methods may need to be adjusted based on their personality, breed, and individual needs. Building a positive and loving relationship with your puppy through training will lead to a happy and well-behaved adult dog. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a new family member, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $300 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchip!
