Both young and does well with older pups. -KNOWN WITH CATS: Not sure how he'd be with cats! -KNOWN WITH KIDS: A sweet pup, would be wonderful -KNOWN CUES: Sit, come, and down -KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Frankie is getting the hang of housetraining! When taken out regularly he goes outside. He is also puppy pad trained. He will need housetraining reinforcement in a new home, as he is a puppy!! With encouragement and treats he will settle well in his crate. -KNOWN LIKES: Playing with other dogs or kids, romping around the grass, playtime with toys, walkies -KNOWN DISLIKES: Being left ALLLLL alone. He would love to be in a home with another dog companion, or a home that has a lot of in and out! ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Frankie is looking for his own home! Currently in a home with his brother, his growing size is too much for the individual who has them to keep them both. He's a sweet dog that loves people, has great energy, and would be a fantastic companion! Anticipated to be a larger breed, we are looking for someone ready to take on the responsibility needed for a large breed! Notes from the foster: He walks well on a leash, is curious, is mostly house trained and crate trained, knows the "sit" and "come" commands; he knows how to do a "down" but I haven't put the name to it yet. He does not mind me touching any part of his body and has been easy at vet visits. He has been introduced to multiple people from toddlers to adults and various dogs and has been happy to meet them all. He is a smart dog. His shots are up to date, most of them until 2027!

Story
Zoey's previous foster shared that she is a loving golden retriever. She is very affectionate once she gets to know you. Zoey is always happy to sit and sleep right at your feet while you are home. She is house trained and if left alone will tirelessly look out the window waiting for your return. She walks well, but has a small prey drive. Someone has to keep those nosy squirrels from interrupting her owner's walk. She's always up to play games. You will know when she wants to play as she'll bring her tug-o-war rope to your chair or drop tennis balls on your lap for some quality fetch time. She is a bit of an alpha dog and plays well with some dogs but not others. With that being the case, we think she would do better as a solo dog in the home or a slow controlled introduction if there are other pets. Please let us know if you would like to meet Zoey A!

Story
Meet Canela – Your New Cinnamon-Snuggle Buddy! 🐾✨ Hi there! I’m Canela, a 1.5-year-old, 45 lb GSD/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who’s basically a walking ray of sunshine with floppy ears and a wiggly tail. My name means “cinnamon” in Spanish, and I’m just as sweet and warm as one! I’m a submissive, friendly, and super-loving girl who lives for zoomies, big jumps, squeaky toys, and chasing tennis balls until my humans beg for mercy. I’m fully housebroken, crate trained, and I get along beautifully with other dogs and dog-savvy cats. My foster says I’m honestly one of the nicest dogs she’s ever met — I just want to be your shadow, give endless kisses, and be part of the family! I’d be happiest in an active home where I can run, play, and burn off all this happy energy. A doggy sibling would be a dream (though I’d be thrilled as an only child too), and I’d love a family that enjoys long walks, backyard adventures, and lots of cuddle time on the couch. A few important notes so we’re the perfect match: • I’m an impressive jumper — I might be able to clear a 4-foot fence, so I’ll need a watchful eye! • I sometimes forget that shoes aren’t chew toys (oops!). • I adore kids but my excited bounces can accidentally knock over tiny humans, so older children or careful supervision with little ones would be best. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, affectionate best friend who will greet you with full-body wiggles every single day, I’m your girl! Ready to make this cinnamon girl part of your pack? Come meet me — I promise you’ll fall in love! ❤️
