Story
Retro is a 5 year old lab/german shepherd mix that my husband and I are fostering for a friend whose cancer made it impossible for him to continue to care for him. Overall, Retro is a very good boy. I wish we could keep him, but he is too big for our home and he struggles with our hardwood floors and stairs (also hardwood). Retro is good with our 11 lb dog and our cat, and has been with a medium-sized dog in the past. Retro does have anxiety which I give him meds for every morning, and he is scared of the kennel, which I am working with him on and he has gotten MUCH better. Retro pulls a little on the leash, but is fairly easy to walk with. Right now I am working with him to prevent jumping up and he is getting better in that he no longer jumps up on me. Lastly, Retro knows hand signals for sit and down, but doesn't stay so well. Oh, and he does resource guard his food and treats, but eats them right away.

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
She was our first pup and is a rescue weve had her for 4 years now, she is great with our 3 yo and our cat and our other dog. She does not get along with other dogs outside the house therefore she is always on a leash we think she would benefit from a home where she has a yard and can run around(we live in a duplex) and she has been with us in different apartment ills over the years she responds to basic commands, we rescued another dog after 2 years w Becca and now 2 is just too many we want her to go to a good home because she really is a good dog she’s never growled, bit or been otherwise aggressive to any person or any of our other pets and shes been safe around our toddler since his birth, she barks loud in a protective fashion when people knock but all she does is lick and sniff. She has high energy like a puppy still she has anxiety and she would benefit from a lot of attention she loves to cuddle and snuggle

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
It's with a heavy heart that we have to find a new home for this sweet and cuddly boy. We adopted Costco a year ago and he has brought us so much joy with his cuddles, head tilts, and bunny hops. He loves playing with other dogs, does well at doggy daycare, and loves our cat. 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
Meet Appa, a 5-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as his energy! He is a bundle of joy who is always eager for attention and playtime. Appa gets along famously with other dogs, making him the perfect companion for playdates at the park. However, he is not a fan of cats and prefers to steer clear of them. Despite his lively nature, Appa is incredibly sweet-natured and has never shown any signs of aggression. He is a loving and loyal friend who would make a wonderful addition to any family that can match his zest for life and give him the love and attention he deserves.
