Since we adopted him as a pup he’s been protective, active, loving and a licker (lol). He spent 4 yrs with our cat Crimson. 2 yrs with our newly adopted dog June (Multipoo white) She follows him everywhere 😂. He gets along with all our neighbor dogs of all sizes. He’s great with commands and when we walk he’s always on my right side next to me. Our grandkids 8 & 5 love playing rough with him but he usually wins😂😂😂

Story
Hello, my name is Maverick. I am a very sweet guy who really likes to play. I am unusual looking (to say the least) but that just makes me more special. I do know a command or two, and will do just about anything for a treat, so teaching me new things should be a piece of cake. I would be so much fun but I really, really need someone who will teach me the ropes regarding housebroken. If interested, please fill out a preliminary at odas.org/canine and someone will contact you to schedule your visit.

Story
Have you ever looked back at some of the things you did as a teenage pup and just… cringe? Be kind to yourself—you were still learning. And so was I. Hi, I'm Ivy. I’m two and a half years old, and I’ve been at the shelter since I was nine months old. Why so long? Well, being a teenager is tough. Living with a teenager is tough. And being a teenager without a family of your own? Extra tough. I’m a smart, loving, energetic dog, and kennel life has never agreed with me. For a while, I got to stay in a foster home, and it helped me grow into a much happier, more balanced dog. Now I’m back at the shelter—just temporarily, I hope—and I’m ready to show off everything I’ve learned. I’m about 60 lbs, fully grown, and working hard at channeling my energy and intelligence. I’ve met cats and done well with them, I like to play with other dogs, I’m focused and friendly, and I LOVE to show off my tricks. I’m a total champ at “place” and “lie down.” Am I utterly flawless? Perfectly obedient? Unfailingly angelic? Heck no—and are YOU a perfect human? Learning is a lifelong thing for both dogs and people. I can still be a little socially awkward with dogs at first, though I enjoy them and get along once we figure each other out. And I still really struggle with the kennel environment, which is why I hope I won’t have to stay in it for long. The good news? My foster—and my friends at Purina Farms—believe in me so much that they’ve sponsored my adoption fee. I’m here at the shelter now, hoping to meet potential adopters as soon as possible. Please don’t wait—I’d much rather be practicing my tricks with you than spending time in a kennel. If you’re interested in meeting me, please fill out a preliminary application at odas.org/canine and someone will contact you to schedule a visit. I can’t wait to meet my person. 💚

Story
Wow! Kermit! Whadda guy! So friendly! So cute! Lookit that waggy tail! Lookit that soft coat! Wow, now isn't that a dog you'd like to take home with you? Is my subliminal messaging working? I'm not sure I'm doing it right. How about this: !timrek tpoda !yob doog a si timrek I dunno. Maybe it's just better to come right out with it: My name is Kermit, I'm three years old, and I really, really wanna go home with you. I'm housebroken, I LOVE walks and completely light up when I see a leash (and I'm an awesome walker, so I hope that means I'll get to go on lots of adventures with you!), and I'm toy-curious. I'm all about making new human friends and I love attention. I can be left alone in the house without misbehaving. Didn't I tell ya? I'm a good boy! I haven't had much experience with other animals, so I'm not sure yet what I'd think of them. If you have another dog, I'd love to meet them in the shelter and see how we get along before going home with them. If you have a cat, I can stop in and meet the office cats and see how I react. I do know that kids aren't my favorite. The reason I came back to the shelter was that, in my previous home, the neighbor kids would run through my yard and I wouldn't stop chasing them. Self-appointed neighborhood watch, I guess. So meditate on it. Think of a beach. Think of a cabin in the woods. And think of a mediumish (about 50 lb, but quite rotund at the moment) black dog named Kermit by your side. Let's make it a reality. My name is Kermit, I'm three years old, and I'm neutered, up to date on shots, and fully vetted. Please fill out the preliminary at odas.org/canine if you would like to visit Kermit and someone will contact you to schedule your visit.

Sheila

Labrador Retriever Black Mouth Cur

Story
Sheila’s story starts on a chilly February evening when she was spotted running near our back parking lot alongside another dog. While her buddy was caught quickly, Sheila ran off into the cold night. When we arrived at work the next morning, there she was, waiting nearby, tired and unsure. It took some gentle convincing to get her leashed, and even then, she was hesitant to come with us. We carried her, snug in a crate, to a quiet kennel where she could finally rest, warm up, and begin to trust. Now, a couple of months later, Sheila has blossomed into a gentle, affectionate young pup. We believe she is about 1 year old. Though she still has a cautious streak, she walks on a leash with growing confidence and melts into the laps of the people she knows and loves. She craves closeness, often pushing into you as she much as can, soaking up every bit of comfort and connection. Sheila isn’t quite ready to be best friends with every dog she meets. She wasn’t interested in reconnecting with the one she arrived with, but we think, with time and the right match, she may enjoy a canine companion. With people, she may need a little time to warm up, and she sometimes greets new friends with a charming mix of full body wiggles and a submissive grin. If you’re someone who understands the beauty of a shy dog’s trust, Sheila just might be your girl. She’s looking for a patient, loving home where she can continue to build her confidence and feel safe by your side. If interested, please fill out the preliminary at odas.org/canine before you visit.
