Story
Gerdie is a super sweet older girl who still has a good amount of spunk! She absolutely loves to play, though she's still working on bringing toys back to continue the game of fetch. Her favorites so far seem to be squeaky toys and balls, though she's open to new options.OTHER PETS: Gerdie was relaxed when meeting another dog, but she didn't show a lot of interest in playing. She would likely do best with another relaxed dog that can understand when to let her have her own space in the home. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Gerdie is prone to pulling on the leash when she's excited, and as a bigger dog will do best with someone that can be capable of handling her, as well as experience with positive reinforcement or the willingness to learn. [First Dog]KIDS: Gerdie is tolerant of handling and hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding during her time at TJO, but she is an older lady and doesn't always appreciate feeling restrained or confined. She would do best with kids that are old enough to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [10+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: While Gerdie appreciates a good long nap on the couch as much as anybody, she loves going on walks and playing with a variety of toys. She would be a great walking buddy for trips around the block, and will thrive with various types of mental enrichment to fully meet her needs. [Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: While Gerdie currently needs to work on losing a few pounds, she is otherwise currently in good health. As an older dog, she will need a good relationship with a vet to ensure that she continues to age gracefully into her golden years and remains comfortable. [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: While Gerdie already seems to know a few tricks, positive reinforcement training will help Gerdie to brush up on her basic cues & skills, as well as help her bond with her new owner. [Minimal]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]January 27, 2026, 5:08 pm

Story
Johnny was very happy that some kind human let TJO know that he needed help, and he was very thankful that the animal control officers had a nice warm vehicle for him to ride in on the way to safety. Once he had a comfy bed, a full belly, and some butt scratches he was ready to show everyone how goofy and loveable he can be. OTHER PETS: Johnny was disinterested in similarly sized dogs and has a high prey drive so he would not be a good fit to live with cats or small dogs. He would prefer to be an only dog but would be open to meeting a relaxed dog with a similar `live and let live` attitude. [Case by Case (No Cats or Small Dogs!)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Johnny currently does not walk very well on a leash; his best fit would be with someone with experience with positive reinforcement (or willingness to learn) to teach new skills, and a guardian who is strong enough to keep him safe. [Some Experience] KIDS: Johnny is a social, outgoing dog who enjoys interacting with humans and playing with toys. He has not engaged in resource-guarding while at TJO, and would likely get along with most humans. While Johnny is friendly, he may not be a good match for small humans who might get knocked over by his enthusiastic wiggles. Any minors who would be living with him should meet Johnny prior to adoption. [10+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Johnny will need a good blend of exercise and playtime combined with mental enrichment such as puzzle toys and games to fully meet his needs. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Johnny bond with his new owner while learning new skills and fun tricks. Johnny is a strong puller while walking on the leash and will need support and positive reinforcement to help him learn loose leash skills. [Moderate]January 28, 2026, 4:05 pm

Story
OTHER PETS: Neil was eager to greet other dogs and was comfortable going off and doing his own thing as well. Though he didn't seem interested in playing, he would likely do well with another social dog in the home that will allow him to have his own space when he wants/needs it. [Likely (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Neil is currently very grabby with hands, and will likely need a specific behavior management plan using positive reinforcement and counterconditioning, and not punishment. He has not shown any signs of resource guarding while at TJO, but he's fixated on hands. He would do best with someone that has experience and current knowledge of positive reinforcement training, but could do well with someone that has owned dogs before and is willing to learn as well. [Experienced]KIDS: Because of how mouthy he can be, Neil would do best with older kids that can understand how to interact with him and when to let him have his own space. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: While Neil doesn't exhibit a high energy level here at TJO, this could change in a home environment as he grows more comfortable. He would likely do best with various forms of mental enrichment to keep his body calm and his mind engaged. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: Neil arrived at TJO severely underweight, and is currently still working on reaching his ideal weight with a strict re-feeding diet. Otherwise, he seems to be in good health currently and will likely do well with routine vet appointments down the line. [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Neil has a habit of trying to grab people's hands with his mouth. He will likely need a specific management plan based on positive reinforcement as he continues to adjust to his environment and figures out how to politely interact with people. As he continues on his positive training journey, he will work best with someone that can be dedicated to helping him understand better ways to seek interaction, and can work with and understand positive reinforcement training methods. [Intense]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]February 2, 2026, 12:19 pm
