Story
Barrett is the sweetest senior boy. He is also dog-friendly. He recently joined our rescue, and while he has some medical needs we are working through, including chronic diarrhea, he is already showing us just how special he is. Barrett is so deserving of comfort, care, and a soft place to land.December 26, 2025, 7:02 pm

Story
Cisco  is a playful, affectionate, happy little guy who enjoys chasing balls (his favorite) or small plushy toys, sofa cuddle time, long walks, playing at the dog park, treats, and mealtimes. He needs a little time to build trust with his humans before his wonderfully sweet and cuddly personality comes out. The short wait is so worth it! Energy Level?  Medium  House trained?  Yes Describe how they are on a leash?   Cisco  pulls a bit on the leash, but otherwise does very well.  Describe how they are with other dogs?  He generally ignores other dogs at first, but when he encounters one he feels comfortable with, he initiates play. If  Cisco  feels the other dog has crossed a boundary by playing too roughly, he will try to correct them. He's small but mighty! Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  He's good with respectful dogs. He has met one dod savvy cat, and he initially barked at him.  Commands they know? Sit What are their favorite things?  Playing fetch with balls (his favorite) or small plushy toys, sofa cuddle time, long walks, playing at the dog park, treats, and mealtimes. What do they need to work on?  Building confidence with new people, and would benefit from more obedience training. He is a very smart little guy and would learn quickly. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  He's fine being left alone. He will sleep.  Where do they sleep?  He is fine sleeping in a crate or just on a bed on the floor. What is their ideal home?  He would do well in a quiet, adult-only household, either as an only dog or with other respectful dogs. Cisco is 6 years old and 7 pounds. Our Adoption fee is $325.     For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs , please complete our online application at www.everypetsdream.org/adopt. We will have everything we need  to call you back and set up an appointment.  Follow us:    Facebook    and    Instagram.      January 3, 2026, 9:21 pm

Story
Darla has come a long way from her rough past and is finally starting to blossom. She can still be a little hesitant and shy at times, but her wagging tail shows the happy girl she truly is inside. With patience and kindness, she’s learned that people can be friends—going from being fearful to now offering sweet kisses and nose boops. Darla especially lights up for treats (turkey is her favorite!) and greets us with excitement whenever we walk through the door. Energy Level?low House trained?yes Describe how they are on leash?she loves going on walks. she loves to sniff but doesn't pull, she'll trot along happily next to you Describe how they are with other dogs?likes playing with the resident Chihuahua, doesn't seem bothered by other dogs she sees Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?doesn't show interest. not sure about cats but I'm sure she wouldn't care  Commands they know?nothing really  What are their favorite things?going on walks and eating food What do they need to work on?barking at people, peeing when we go to put the leash on (does a nervous small pee) How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?totally fine, just relaxes and sleeps. might steal some clothes and bring to her bed Where do they sleep?in a large crate, she's very happy to run in and be in a safe space  What is their ideal home? Darla is a relatively easy to manage dog and doesn't need a lot of attention, but she would do great in a home that can give her time to get settled and that can work with her on her barking and small fears. She's a very sweet girl who's still nervous of new people so it would be good to be somewhere that doesn't have constant new people coming in and out. She doesn't need a dog companion but would probably benefit from having one that can show her people are OK and to keep her comfortable October 19, 2025, 4:03 am
