Story
Meet Tux! This 3-year-old black Lab–Pit Bull mix is a sweet, loyal guy who loves people and is looking for a home where he can be your one and only pet. He hasn’t had much experience with other dogs and is not comfortable with dogs he doesn’t know, so he’ll do best as the only animal in the home. His previous owner shared that Tux seems to know when someone is feeling down and will happily come over for some extra love to try to cheer you up. Tux loves to play fetch with his rope toy and enjoys getting out for walks with his people. In his previous home he was fully house trained and did well when left alone. He has also lived with children as young as six, though he can get excited when greeting people and may jump, which could accidentally knock over smaller kids. Ready to Adopt? You have two options: #1- VISIT IN PERSON Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm. You’ll be able to meet available dogs in the shelter.

Story
Peter was a bit underweight and nervous when he first came to TJO but after a good night's sleep and a few days of regular, nutritious meals, he was feeling a little better and a little braver. Peter is at a more appropriate weight and has been making friends with staff and volunteers while he enjoys being safe and warm during all these snow storms.OTHER PETS: Peter is mostly disinterested in other dogs, he will greet them appropriately and then continue doing his own thing. He would do well as an only pet but would also do well with other independent, relaxed dogs. As with all our adoptable dogs, Peter should meet any dog he would be living with prior to adoption. [Case-By-Case / Only Pet (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] GROOMING: [Minimal] KIDS: Peter is uncomfortable with some handling but tolerant of it, he does solicit physical interaction but arthritis makes him sore. He also gets grabby with toys, unintentionally brushing teeth against fingers or knuckles when giving/taking toys; Peter would not be a good fit for younger children and should meet everyone he would be living with prior to adoption. [13+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Peter still enjoys being active but too much walking could aggravate his arthritis; he enjoys playing with humans and toys, sometimes getting grabby with toys and fixating on them occasionally. Peter would do well with a mix of physical activity and mental stimulation; you can also speak with your vet about diet and exercise/physical therapy referals. [Good Yoga Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Peter will need a good relationship with a vet to ensure his arthritis is optimally managed and he is able to remain active well into old age. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Peter bond with his new owner, build self-confidence, and new skills and fun tricks. Positive reinforcement is a great way to keep his mind engaged and active to fully meet his needs. [Minimal]March 9, 2026, 2:59 pm

Story
OTHER PETS: Olives was excited to meet other dogs and was definitely interested in playing. Her level of energy may be a bit much for some dogs, though, so she would likely do best with a social dog that can match her exuberance in play. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Olive is a dog that is rarely caught sitting still, and will do best with someone committed to meeting her needs through enrichment and positive reinforcement (or willingness to learn). [Some Experience]KIDS: Olives has a lot of energy and can be jumpy in her excitement to greet new friends. She would do best in a home with older kids that are able to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Olives is a lot of dog with a lot of energy! In a home environment, she would do best with both routine walks/exercise and various forms of mental enrichment--such as games and puzzles--to keep her mind and body busy. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Olives is beginning her positive reinforcement journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts to a new home and environment. Positive reinforcement will help Olives not only learn her basic cues, skills, and some fun tricks, but will also help her bond with her new guardian. [Moderate]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]March 9, 2026, 2:59 pm
