Story

Male - 1 year - 65 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - OHHi there! My name is Jace and I am a 1-year-old, 65 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I am currently crated when I am left home alone. I am a sweet boy with my foster parents, though it took me a while to warm up to them. I’ve spent most of my life in a kennel environment so living in a home with people was a new experience for me and I am very shy with new people. I have started seeking affection and enjoying pets from my foster parents and discovering how great it can be! I’ll need a patient, calm adopter to help me grow more comfortable around people. I love other animals and will require a confident canine sibling in my home to help show me the ropes! I have also been around cats without issue so could have kitty siblings also. I love toys and bones! Any kind of stuffy toy that I can gently carry around is great, and I will also play tug with other dogs with a rope! I ride well in the car and only pull slightly on lead. I take food gently and would love a family who will continue my socialization so that I can grow into my most confident self! I have been learning to come to my foster parents when they call my name and know what it means to be “time for bed”! I am a sweet boy who is ready to find my perfect adoptive family—could that be with you? Follow me on Facebook: #EchoDogJace2025 For more information, please contact adoptions@echodogs.org.

I am housetrained and crate trained. Although I will not touch anything when you leave, I will try to follow you out the door. That’s why my foster mom crates me when she goes out. I love everyone I meet and really like all the attention I can get. I’ve met a lot of different dogs and I know how to play with them, even the smaller ones. I didn’t do so well with cats.I like playing with squeaky toys. I don’t know how to play fetch, maybe you could teach me. I like going for car rides. I know my basic commands. I like training and learning. After all, I am still a very young guy. I am extremely loyal. If I’m busy and you call me I will come. I just don’t really like when you leave.I would like a home that has a well settled canine companion and a good, structured routine. I like to know what to expect. I’d like to go on walks and adventures with some routine playtime. I just want to be loved and give you snuggles all day long. So do you want some snuggles from me?

Story

Male - 5 years - 40 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - NYHi, I’m Ricardo. I’m a 5-year-old, 40 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I use my crate as a safe space mostly; I do not need to be shut in my crate when I am left home alone. I have coexisted well with adults, with a preference for women, though I am very shy and don’t seek much interaction. I will accept calm affection from my foster mom. Most of the time I am happy to people watch from afar. I will need someone willing to be patient as I come around to them and my surroundings in my new home; I had had no or minimal human contact prior to coming to Echo Dogs so this human world is all new to me and I have been trying hard to learn! I love having the company of other dogs and will require at least one confident canine companion to help guide me. I am wonderful about adjusting my play style to match that of the dog I am playing with and all around have good canine social skills. I am also gentle around cats and wouldn’t mind having feline siblings. I have been learning about these things called toys and they’re pretty fun! I especially like the plushy toys and benebones. I have been working hard on leash skills and can now join on quiet outings! I may get nervous at times and need gentle encouragement. I am still pretty uncomfortable with car rides so that is also a work in progress. I have learned to reliably come to my foster mom when she calls me. I currently take clomicalm to help me manage my anxiety. I am a gentle-natured boy who is ready to find a patient human ready to help me continue navigating this human world—could you be my human(s)?

Story

Female - 3.5 years - 60 lbs - Microchipped - Spayed - DEHi! My name is Vaquita and I am a 3.5-year-old, 60 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I can be left home alone uncrated, though I like to have a crate available to me as a safe space for when I become overwhelmed. I have done well with men, women, and older children with proper introductions. I prefer to meet people at my home, where I have been known to jump into the laps of new friends when they sit on our couch! I love to receive pets, cuddles, and to give kisses to my people; I am overall a super affectionate girl! I love toys, especially balls or rope toys, and am never far away from some kind of toy! I would love a family where I get daily play. I can easily clear a short fence so I either need a yard with a secure, tall fence or no fence where I’ll receive exclusively on-leash exercise. I have unfortunately not done well with other dogs and will need to be the only pet in my home. I show reactivity through barking and lunging when I see dogs from a distance. When I have been introduced to other dogs, I have postured and lunged even with proper introductions. I ride well in the car and would love to find a family dedicated to providing continued training so I could join you for adventures! My leash skills are a work in progress (although maybe I’d be a candidate for the Iditarod?), but I have learned how to sit, come, and roll over. I have also learned how to allow you to dry off my paws when they get muddy! Nail trims are a bit of a different story. I am a happy, smart girl who is ready to find my perfect adoptive family—are you my family? Follow me on Facebook: #EchoDogVaquita For more information, please contact adoptions@echodogs.org.

Story

Please contact Echo Dogs (adoptions@echodogs.org) for more information about this pet.Female • 2-3 Years • 60 lbs.• Microchipped • Spayed • GABIO Hello! My name is Tam. I am 2 or 3 years old. I am house trained. I do not like to be crated. Foster mom is working on this. I have some separation anxiety, and I should be crated when you cannot supervise me. If you do leave me alone, I will sleep most of the time. I have other dogs here to keep me company. I am good with both men and women. I am not much of a snuggler, but I love to be pet. I’ll come over to you for attention. I will even roll over for belly rubs. In the daytime I will approach strangers slowly. At night if I don’t recognize a person, I will bark at them. I do very well with the other dogs in my foster home. They are females, different sizes. One dog is high energy, another not so much. I did not do so good with the cat at my foster home. So, it is best if you do not have a cat. I like to destuff toys and pull all the toys out of the toy box. I guard my toys and food from the other dogs so foster mom doesn't leave anything laying around and is proactive with trying to work on this issue. I am sensitive to loud noises like thunderstorms and sirens. I don’t want to go in the car on my own. I like going for walks. I walk well on the leash. I also know a few commands.I would love to find a home with someone who is home more often than not. I do like running around & playing with one of the dogs here at my foster home. A home with someone that has patience and can continue working with me to build my confidence and teach me how to overcome my issues. Are you looking for a Velcro dog, I want to be one.

Please contact Echo Dogs (adoptions@echodogs.org) for more information about this pet.Female • 2-3 Years • 30lbs • Microchipped • Spayed • GABIO Hello! My name is Sami. I am house trained and crate trained. It is best to crate me when you cannot supervise me. Although I have been left alone with the other dogs in my foster home and I was a good girl. When strangers come to the house, I will announce their presence and go right up to them wagging my tail. Sometimes I lay down and roll over for a belly rub. I love to be petted and I love to snuggle. I live with a smaller dog and a larger dog with no problems. I have also met smaller dogs out on our walks with no problems. I just want to play all the time. I did not do so good when I met a cat so no cats for me. I love my squeaky ball and balls of any kind. I like to play tug-o-war. I destuff stuffies and pull the squeaker out and then I play with the unstuffy. I will toss it in the air and play with it. I do not know how to play fetch. I am sure I could learn. I like going for rides in the car. I pull on the leash when I see people or other dogs. We are working on that. I just want to go make friends. I know some commands and I am learning manners. I would like to find a home that already has another canine companion. A fenced yard that can hold up to my active and hard playing style. I could be an only dog if you are home more often than not. I would really like to go to obedience classes or even agility would suit me fine. You know they say great things come in little packages. Don’t I sound like fun?
