Story
Archie is about a year now. He is very loved by his family, but they have cats, he s chasing them into neighbors' yards. The cats are just not safe. He s killed a few of her chickens also. Archie doesn t need to be around cats or livestock for sure. He s a sweet little boy and loves to tag along anywhere you go. He can be a bit shy at first but when he warms up, all he wants is to cuddle. He loves to play tug war and loves all toys that squeak. He s great with kids as long as they respect his boundaries. He s a bit scared of larger dogs but has done well with small to medium dogs. Archie is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and heartworm negative. He is potty trained but does struggle with urinary incontinence at night when he s in a deep sleep. Archie just wears a belly band at night and this takes care of the problem. We d love to see this fun little boy in a home that works for him! If you have questions or would like to meet Archie, please call the rescue at 9105269619!

Story
Hello humans, The name is Mooshu (not the dragon) and I am only 10 years old (not hundreds of years old like my namesake). I am a legend in my own right with a bit of a sadder story. When I was a puppy, I was well-loved by my owner but was not given any boundaries or properly trained. I got to do what I wanted and when I wanted. My owner was a foster parent and had kids in and out of the home quite a lot, which overwhelmed me and now I am not comfortable with being in a house with several people. My ideal home would only have one human, preferably a female. Since I can be overwhelmed and uncomfortable with several humans sharing the same space as me, I would prefer to have a safe space I can go to while my future owner has company. Maybe my safe space can be in your room in a nice comfortable fancy crate. I would also prefer to have a home where I don't have to share with another animal. My first owner didn't socialize me with other dogs so I don't have the appropriate social skills to share a home with another animal. I can be a little picky of humans I can trust as my life started out pretty hectic and I really just preferred my owner and no one else. I am the kind of dog, where I would need some date nights with my potential adopter so I know they will be a good person to me. I believe that would make the CARA staff more comfortable knowing I've spent some time with my future owner before going home with them. While pondering what kind of person I would like to be my adopter, I think I would like to have a single female who is laid back and has a calm personality and doesn't mind spending evenings with me. One way to win me over is treating me with some delicious pieces of hot dogs! I know my owner will be one of a kind and can't wait to find them! Please apply for me on the website if you think you can meet my needs! To meet with me, please fill out an application on the CARA website! I will be waiting to schedule those date nights with you!
