Story
Meet Ami! Due to overcrowding, Miss Ami was scheduled for euthanization but we were able to "pull" this very sweet girl and she is now fully vetted and ready for adoption! Ami is a 53 pound, two-year-old (approximate DOB 03/12/21) Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. She is crate and potty-trained. Ami does well with other dogs, cats and children but due to her playful nature, we recommend she go to a home with older children only because she is dangerous with that tail of hers (lol). Children MUST be well versed in their animal manners. Ami doesn't require a 6' fenced yard, but it is recommended, as she is a fence jumper and would clear a 4' fence. Ami is great on a leash and loves to go on long walks. She is doing super with basic commands. Her foster mom calls her "Wiggle Butt". Ami loves, loves, loves her people, is quite the cuddle bug, and would make a great addition to almost any home/family.

Story
This is our boy Archie. He is four years old. He’s always been a sweet loving boy but, has never been good with hectic surroundings. He is very selective on the dogs and people that he likes, but when he likes them, he really does. He tends to be reactive at times. I have a one and a half-year-old and have been trying for that long to get him used to her. He liked her until she started moving around and making noise. He has also attacked my cats many times, but only when they are being crazy. I noticed he’ll do well until there is hyperactivity I’ve tried to train him out of it myself, but it hasn’t worked. My daughter fell out of the highchair, and, in the middle of all the chaos, he ended up attacking my thigh. He has never bit before, and I think the chaos of the situation made him react that way. He growls at my daughter when she’s running up to him. He needs a kid free place, someone who can work with him on his issues. I love him so much but he is a danger to my child.

Story
Hi! My name is ROSIE and I am looking for my new home!II am a super sweet, affectionate 4 + year old gal and I weigh 65 pounds. Based on my DNA results, I am 75% Rhodesian Ridgeback and 25% German Shorthaired Pointer mix (see my DNA results picture).House trained! Crate trained! Leash trained! I am a very loving, friendly, and snuggly with my people and I often follow my people around. Whenever I see my family, I wags my whole backend with excitement.:)When I am not snuggling on the couch with my family, I love to play or go on a walk. Spending time playing or going on a walk/jog with me helps gets my playful energy out. I am an athletic energetic girl who has even had some training jumping obstacles!When I meet new people that arent my family members, I can come across as aloof but give me a little time to adjust and then I quickly warm up they will become my people too and my personality will shine!I really prefer to be the only dog in the home. Also, no cats please! I have lived with older children in my foster home and I get along with neighborhood children and visiting family members.On walks, I tend to get along with most dogs my size when properly introduced but do not do well with smaller or medium sizes dogs. For that reason, I should have a fenced yard where I can run and play.Although I am a big girl, I love laps and sure like to cuddle! Did I mention that I love walks and playing? Afterwards, I love to relax and snuggle with you! As much as I love my comfy foster home, I am looking for my forever home! My foster family can answer any questions you might have. Wont you please come meet me? Love,ROSIE***As long as our dogs are on the website they are available. Applications can be found at CanineCollective.org***
