Nola is a beautiful young dog with a playful spirit and lots of joyful energy. Because of her enthusiasm, Nola can be too much for cats and would do best in a cat-free home. Her energy and playful style may also be a bit overwhelming for young children, so a home with kids 10+ would be ideal. Nola is a fun, affectionate dog who will thrive with exercise, enrichment, and positive training. With the right outlet for her energy, she’ll be a wonderful companion and adventure buddy!What I Need In a Home:* Kids 10+ mandatory* No cats - too excitable

Story
Meet Axel, a spirited 5-year-old Lab/Shepherd/Aussie mix with a zest for life and a heart full of love. Axel is an active and playful dog who thrives on companionship with other dogs, so having a furry friend around would be perfect for him. While Axel is dog-friendly, he can be a bit nervous around new people and prefers not to make direct eye contact. To ensure everyone's safety, he should wear a muzzle when meeting new folks. With the right approach and time, Axel reveals his affectionate and playful side, becoming a loyal and protective companion. Axel needs a dedicated and experienced dog owner who can provide firm training and a bit of extra care. He was rescued just an hour before his scheduled euthanasia and is eager to find a loving, active home where he can truly shine.

Story
Hi, I'm Rex! I'm a 13 year old, sweet senior who would love to be your new sidekick. I'm a kind, loving, and fun spirited soul looking for a second forever home. My previous family, whom I loved, was unable to take me with them on their move so please consider bringing me home. I enjoy walks, rubs, cuddles, and I can handle downtime like a pro. I'm an experienced, house-trained dog and I've absolutely mastered the art of loyalty and companionship. I have a slight limp due to an old injury that's never stopped me from living my best life and bringing smiles and giggles to my family. Adopting me requires a short health waiver to protect me based on my age and health. But don't worry, I promise I'm worth it :) If you have space in your life for more joy, I'm your guy!

Story
Meet Maple  Maple’s story begins with quiet bravery. At just about a year old herself, this young rez dog was doing everything she could to protect her nine tiny puppies while living on the streets. When she discovered an abandoned dog house on a nearby property, she seized the little bit of shelter it offered. One by one, she carried each puppy into the rugged, makeshift structure , determined to give them whatever safety she could from the cold, windy weather outside . It wasn’t much — but to Maple, it was hope. When we learned about her situation, we organized a rescue crew and drove out to bring Maple and her babies to safety . She greeted us with a mix of exhaustion and relief, trusting us enough to let us help her family. Now warm, safe, and cared for, Maple is thriving. She’s doing a marvelous job raising her puppies , showing the kind of devotion and gentleness that makes her truly special. Our best guess on Maple's breed is Belgian Malinois/Shepherd and since she is a rez dog, probably many other breeds. Malinois and Shepherds are a working breeds and do best with an experienced owner.. Here are some of the things to consider. They are highly intelligent..Once they put their mind to it, they can excel at almost anything they do; they will even try outsmarting you sometimes. They need a strong and confident owner who knows how to be a pack leader; otherwise, they will dominate the household.Given their intelligence and eagerness to please their owners, Shepherds and Malinois are relatively easy to train. They can generally learn a new command within 5–15 repetitions. The Belgian Malinois makes an incredible watchdog and they won’t hesitate to alert you when they spot a stranger. Like most dogs, they thrive off routine and consistency and having a job to do. There are many activities you can do to provide appropriate physical and mental stimulation. Regular walks and hikes, nose work, fetch games, and canine sports will provide what they need and are vital to their happiness. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2612793##
