Story
Henry is a sweet, gentle lab mix who loves to cuddle. He is about 8 years old, and is originally a rescue from Texas. He loves to chew on his bones, but more than anything, he just likes to hang out and get pets. Henry loves other dogs of all sizes -- he lived with a chihuahua mix for the first 6 years of his life. Trips to the park, especially if pup cups are involved, are one of his favorite pastimes. His coat is very easy to maintain, and he doesn't shed as much as a purebred Labrador. Truly, Henry is just a lovebug who wants to be doted on. He was crate trained as a puppy. Unfortunately due to circumstances surrounding housing, we are having to rehome Henry. He is such a good boy, and we just want to make sure he goes to a good home -- he deserves it! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions about him, or if you would like to meet him. We've never met a person Henry doesn't love!

Story
We rescued Duck from the Helen Woodward Animal Society when he was 4 months old. Duck is now 9 months old and we are looking for a good home for him, preferably with land and/or time to exercise him and let him play. He is a mixture of breeds, we believe he has some border collie, cattle dog, terrier in him. He would be an excellent working or herding dog and is very smart. He is house trained and trained with many commands. He’s an excellent listener and a loving dog. Duck absolutely loves people and loves to play with other dogs, he doesn’t love young kids. He would be a great addition to a home without young children. We’re hoping to find the right home for Duck as we love him very much. We just don’t have the time or space for his loving, high energy!

Story
Nico is 5 years old, he will be 6 in July. We adopted him from the humane society. He doesn't get along well with most dogs. We have two young children, and he's good with them. However if they get too physical with him, he has growled at them. We don't believe he'd ever harm them, but it is a concern we want to be open about. He is very skittish on hard flooring, and will walk backwards to get to a carpeted surface. He is very protective, and he will bark if he hears noise outside. He is potty trained, and can follow simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Overall, he is a very good boy who loves people and playtime. We just want to be safe regarding our children.

Story
Wonderful little dog and it kills us to let her go, but we can’t trust our little boy not to corner her and when harassed enough she bit him. No aggressiveness in our 8 years with her until she was pushed and pushed and pushed. She just wants to be your little shadow and cuddle. She has amazing manners - she can sit at the dinner table and won’t try to take anything, or if you leave food on the coffee table she won’t touch it. She afraid of most things (including balls lol) so no need for toys and stuff. She just wants a walk and cuddling every day and she’s the happiest dog in the world. She’s fine with other dogs/pets and kids older than 5 or 6.

Story
Meet Lady: a beautiful two-year-old soul with a resilient spirit. Lady wound up at her town's local animal shelter not once, not twice, but three times throughout her short little life. With each shelter stay, Lady's fate hung in the balance, her future uncertain. But five minutes before the world went dark for her, fate intervened! Lady's story is one of perseverance, a testament to the indomitable spirit that resides in rescue dogs. With each return to the shelter, Lady clung to the hope that one day, her forever family would come for her. But time stretched on, and as she watched her kennel companions find their homes, Lady's hope began to waver. She wondered if her family would ever come; if the love she longed to give would forever remain unclaimed. From Lady's perspective, the days blurred together, a montage of waiting and wondering. She yearned for the gentle touch of a hand, the warmth of a loving gaze, and the sound of a family's laughter. No matter how much doubt crept into her heart, she clung to the belief that somewhere out there, her family existed. She held onto that glimmer of hope, the flicker of a dream that refused to be extinguished. And then, in June of 2022, Lady's life took a turn for the better. "The Pitty Committee" whisked her away from the shelter, ensuring that she would never face the threat of euthanasia again. From that moment on, Lady found herself in the serene atmosphere of South Lake Tahoe, where she has flourished under the loving care of her wonderful Foster Mama, Hailey! But, although Lady is safe from a dreaded shelter environment, her journey remains incomplete. She still waits for her forever family to find her. 

Lady is more than just a dog; she's a lake-loving adventurer, a spirited soul who thrives on the joys of nature. She yearns for an active family, who will embrace her love for swimming, running, and frolicking in the sun and snow. Lady's heart knows no bounds when it comes to people of all ages. She adores children, and her boundless energy makes her the perfect playmate. She's a fetch aficionado, and her dock-jumping skills are nothing short of astounding. But what sets Lady apart is her unwavering loyalty, her eagerness to please, and her ability to melt your heart with a single glance. This beautiful girl has come a long way since leaving the shelter. She's crate trained, muzzle trained, and she listens to commands with a heart full of eagerness to please. She's not just a dog; she's a testament to the power of love and resilience. A promise of boundless joy to the family that opens their heart to her. Don't let Lady's story remain incomplete. She's been waiting and hoping for quite some time; she deserves a forever family to call her own. We ask that you consider Lady as the missing piece in your life, the companion who will make every moment brighter, and the love that will fill your heart. Complete your life with a furry friend who knows the true meaning of hope, love, and the promise of a forever home. Lady is waiting, and her love is worth the journey. Don't let her wait any longer; make her a part of your family, and create a story of love and happiness that will last a lifetime. Adopt Lady, and change both your lives forever! ♥
