Story
Meet Cooper! He’s a 1 year old Great Dane/Pointer mix with the sweetest personality and the cutest goofy side. Cooper is friendly, affectionate, and loves being part of whatever you’re doing. He enjoys toys, chew bones, and hanging out with his people, but he also has a playful side and would love another dog to romp around with or a couple of walks each day to burn off some energy. He walks well on a leash and is doing great with both crate training and house training. Cooper gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, making him an easy fit for many different kinds of families. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to find a forever home of his own. 🐾

Story
Meet Rebel! Rebel is a sweet, playful young Pointer/Terrier mix who is learning all about the good life after a tough start. He and his brother, Rip,( also for adoption ) were found roaming in the woods after apparently being on their own for more than 10 days. Now, they’re discovering just how wonderful it is to have a warm home, regular meals, soft beds, and people to love!Rebel is a happy, affectionate boy who enjoys playing with other dogs and does well with cats and kittens. He absolutely loves kids and would enjoy having canine or human playmates in his new home. He rides nicely in the car and is becoming a pro at crate time—he and Rip actually enjoy their crates!Since everything about indoor life is still new to Rebel, he is continuing to learn his leash skills and house manners. His foster family has been working with him, and he is making great progress. He would do best with a family willing to continue his training and give him plenty of patience, playtime, and companionship.This loving boy has so much potential and is ready to trade his days of roaming for a family of his own. With a little guidance and a lot of love, Rebel is sure to become an amazing companion!All known information about the animal is listed above.

Meet Rip — A Sweet Boy Learning What It Means to Be Home.Rip is a handsome Pointer/Terrier mix with a gentle heart and a whole lot of love to give. After spending time roaming with his brother, Rebel (also available for adoption) Rip is discovering just how wonderful life can be in a safe, loving home.A little shy at first, Rip is coming out of his shell more every day as he learns that people can be trusted. He absolutely loves playing with other dogs and has done wonderfully with the dogs in his foster home. He also does great with cats and kittens and is a big fan of the foster’s grandchild. Kids, dogs, and playtime? Rip is in!Rip is crate trained and happily settles in his crate while his foster is at work. He’s also learning to walk on a leash and is making progress with house training, although he still has an occasional accident. After everything he has been through, Rip is simply learning the basics of being a house dog—and he’s doing his best.Rip would love a patient family who will continue teaching him and give him time to build confidence. A home with another playful dog or children could be a wonderful fit for this sweet, playful boy.Rip has already learned that being safe feels good.

Story
Meet Sherman! 🐾❤️ Sherman has been loving life in foster, and the more time he has to settle in, the more his sweet personality shines! Once he settles in, he’s an affectionate cuddle bug who loves belly rubs, scratches, and sleeping in bed with his people. Sherman can be a lazy boy at times, and is often found lounging on the bed, but don’t let that fool you, he also loves to play, and occasionally gets the zoomies! He’s smart and food motivated — he quickly figured out a food puzzles and loves lick mats. We think he’d have a blast learning tricks with his forever family. Bonus, he is fully house trained, and lets you know when he needs to go out by heading toward the door. Like many young dogs, Sherman has some puppy behaviors, like trying to play with items that are not toys. Fortunately, he responds well to redirection with toys, and yummy treats! A fenced yard would be ideal for Sherman so he can safely run and explore. He would do best with a family willing to be patient as he continues coming out of his shell, and ideally one that is home more often to give him the love, attention, enrichment, and guidance he deserves. Give this sweet boy a little time, and you’ll discover just how special he is! ❤️🐶 🌟 Sherman does have an old knee injury, likely a previous CCL tear. After further evaluation with our vet partners, surgery is now recommended. Baypath Humane Society will be covering the cost of his surgery, which is expected to take place later this year once he has had a chance to settle into his forever home.
