Java is a beautiful, sweet Chocolate Lab mix with a playful spirit and a loving personality. She enjoys walks, swimming, playing fetch, and then settling in for cozy cuddle time. Java forms a strong, affectionate bond with her person and loves being included in daily life. She is house-trained, spayed, good with kids and other dogs, and thrives with a consistent routine. Java enjoys simple joys such as sunbathing, sniffing around outside, warm soapy baths, and relaxing near her favorite humans. She feels most confident in familiar surroundings, but loves being introduced gradually to new, fun experiences. Java will do well with a family that appreciates a curious, attentive companion who is fun, loyal, and loving. If you’re looking for a sweet, nature-loving dog who shares both adventure and downtime, she’s your girl!

Pinda is the sweetest, cuddly, energetic pup who loves to play with people and other doggies of all kinds. Pinda was found on the side of a highway and has been adapting to city life, but is looking for home with space to run and preferably other fuzzy friends to play with. She is extremely social and would prefer to have a two or four legged friend to spend the day with. She has a wonderful personality and would be a perfect family dog.

Nori is a sweet lovable dog who just needs someone that can give her the time and love she deserves. My first dog, who is a Lab/beagle mix, had puppies and I decided to keep one to give her a playmate. I forgot how much attention a puppy needs. The cage is included with the adoption as I will no longer need it once nori is gone.

Story
Hello, Maxine is a very friendly and energetic dog. She deserves a loving space that allows her to utilize her energy. A large back yard would be ideal or an owner that is able to walk her frequently throughout the day. She has a lot of energy and is still learning how to interact with humans. She is very lovable. She is two years old in December. I have sent her to training classes to and it has been somewhat effective. She is potty trained, but does get excited around humans and I’ll jump on them in a playful way. Currently I live in an apartment and when she has some separation anxiety when I leave for work she barks and is disturbing the peace. Unfortunately I can not keep her in my current living conditions. I would love someone who would allow me to remain in contact but I can also accept if the new owner prefers me not to. The dog in the picture is a 4yo shitzu and they are the best of friends.

Story
House trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Noise level: Quiet My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Rose is how happy she is! Her tail never stops wagging! Likes: Walks, zoomies, riding in the car, playing, getting cuddles Hi, Im Rose, and Im ready to be your new canine BFF! Im the happiest girl in the world, and Ive never known a stranger! I get along with everybody I meet, and my foster mom says I have the most joyful spirit of any dog shes fostered. I will say Im much more a people person than a dog-person. I just dont feel the need to waste valuable time that could be spent with my humans on trying to make friends with other pups. I like some other dogs, especially when they are calm and easy going, but Id prefer to be the star of the canine show in my forever family! Some of my favorite things to do are to go for walks, sniff all the smells, get all the cuddles, and eat all the treats! Im food motivated, and love keeping my skills sharp! Im a super well-trained girly, so allow me to share some of my coolest tricks. First off, Im totally potty trained, Im also really good at staying in my crate, so if you happen to have a job where you go into the office, that's no problem for me! I currently hang out in my crate while my mom is at work, and Im quite talented at it. I also sleep in my crate overnight! I walk beautifully on leash, and I know a ton of commands like sit, down, off, leave it, stay, come, place, and more! Id love to join a family looking for a pup who can come on adventures with them! My foster mom and I go running together all the time, so if youre looking for a dog that doubles as a personal trainer, Im your girl! D.C. half, here we come! While its not a must, Id especially love to live somewhere with a yard where I could run around off-leash too. That would be the best! Like any good athlete though, I know the importance of rest. When Im not playing or running at top speed, I love to snuggle and snooze. One of my favorite places to be is cuddled up with my people on the couch, getting all the pets. All this to say, if youre looking for a dog who will be equal part adventure buddy and snuggle bug, who loves her people, but is amazing in her crate, and who is super cute to boot, remember this: everything's roses with Rose, so apply to adopt me today!
