Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Spunk is a COMPLETE sweetheart. He can be shy at first when he first meets people and may yield a  submissive wee.  Once he realizes you are safe, all he wants to do is love you and give you kisses. H e loves scritches and pets. When he’s comfortable, he will follow you around and lie against you. He wants as much attention as he can get, but on his terms.  Energy Level? Low/Medium House trained?  Yes. Just watch him closely the first few days. In a new place, he will want to mark. Once he is comfortable and feels safe, the marking went away completely.   Describe how they are on a leash?  We are still working on leash training. At first, he did the alligator roll when he felt the slightest tug on the leash, but after just a few days, he no longer does this, and will walk well short distances. It will take no time at all for him to be comfortable going on long walks. He loves to be outside! Describe how they are with other dogs? Spunk is a happy-go-lucky pup and loves to hang out with and initiate play with other dogs.  If a dog shows that he/she is not interested, then  Spunk  just walks away politely. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? NA Commands they know? Sit What are their favorite things? Being by their person. Food motivated What do they need to work on? Submissive peeing, being handled.  Walking on a leash for longer periods of time. He is also very shy around new people, so you need to go slow until trust is established. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? Spunk is fine being left alone. He has been left alone for about 5-6 hrs. Where do they sleep? In a crate or on a dog bed What is their ideal home?  Spunk would do well in any home with or without other dog(s).  He would prefer to be in a house with someone around most of the time, but I think he would be able to adjust to a full-time working family, too.  Spunk may need a bit of time to adjust. He prefers a calm environment. October 19, 2025, 3:41 am

Story
And all that Jazz! This spunky little Parson Russell Terrier mix truly lives up to her adorable name. She’s a joyful bundle of energy who comes rushing in with kisses and cuddles, eager to share her love. It’s clear she was cherished in her previous home, and that same happy, affectionate spirit shines through in everything she does. Darling Jazz is spayed, vaccinated, and ready for a fresh start in a wonderful new chapter of her life. She’s comfortable with other dogs and would happily fit into a multi-dog household. Friendly with everyone she meets, Jazz has a sweet, sassy personality and a big heart—sometimes showing it with an enthusiastic smooch or two! What Jazz wants most is to be part of a family again. She would thrive with a single adopter, a couple, or a family with older kids who can match her lively, loving nature. Whether it’s hiking trails, strolling through the neighborhood, or riding shotgun with the wind in her ears, Jazz is ready to be by your side on all your adventures. If you’re looking for a little “life of the party” sweetheart who will fill your home with love and fun, then Jazz is your girl!

Story
Ernie.  Once Ernie gets to know you, he can be s weet and affectionate. He is very cautious with new people and needs slow introductions. Energy Level?  Low to Medium House trained?  Yes Describe how they are on a leash?  Ernie walks well on a leash and is non-reactive. Describe how they are with other dogs?   He generally ignores other dogs while on walks. At the shelter, he participated in playgroups and did well with other dogs. When he first arrived, he didn’t get along with the resident dog, but he’s been improving as he decompresses and relaxes. He could potentially live with other dogs with proper introductions and patience. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Ignore cats we meet on walks (cats not moving); sometimes will chase a squirrel if it runs, but will continue walking easily. Commands they know?  He knows how to sit and down. What are their favorite things? Cuddles, kisses, go out for walks, and all kinds of food/treats What do they need to work on? Coping with stress - meeting new people, vet visits, visitors in the home, etc How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He is fine being left alone. He is calm and generally sleeps when left alone.   Where do they sleep? His bed What is their ideal home?  He would do best in a calm, patient home with people who understand his needs and are willing to give him the time and space to build trust and confidence. A quieter environment, with fewer visitors, would help him feel more secure as he continues to adjust. Once he feels safe, he’ll show what a genuinely wonderful, loyal boy he is.   The Adoption fee is $325.   For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs , please complete our online adoption application at  www.everypetsdream.org/adopt .
