Story
Hi! I am Nelson and I am the friendliest pup in the park!!! AND i LOVE walking on leash with my pup pack! I am really good with potty manners as long as i can go out frequently and love my treats for doing a good potty!!! An ideal home would be with a work from home parent to foster good potty manners. I am ready to find my new home and hopefully, my friend, Mystery , can come with me. I am 2 yrs old and i love to snuggle with my pup friends in my foster home. I sleep in kennel at night and get along well with other dogs in house. If you are interested in me, please apply!

Story
Meet Dylan! Dylan is an adorable bundle of BIG dog energy in a munchkin frame. Don’t let his size fool you, Dylan will bring puppy energy all day long! He loves dog toys, being outside, and playing with his foster dog siblings. However Dylan can be a bully, so meet and greet with other dogs at the home is a must. Because of his energy and play style, Dylan needs an experienced dog owner. He will need a home with a backyard (no apartments) that he has regular access to, either a doggy door or some one home to let him out often. Dylan will thrive with another dog, especially a big one, that matches his energy! He is currently finishing heartworm treatment and will be available for adoption on February 10th.

Story
Farley is a very happy boy who loves his people. He is estimated to be about 6 years old, and 13 lbs. He is an easy lap size, and does like to sit on your lap, but he is also content to be hanging out in the same room with you on a doggie bed. He is very treat/food motivated, possibly because he was quite underweight when he came into rescue. He likes to play with toys, especially stuffies, but hasn’t shown much interest in fetch. He gets along with the other dogs in his foster home, although he is at a disadvantage because he is deaf, but that doesn’t seem to slow him down. Farley is so cute! Especially when he does a funny little dance when he gets excited (his Chris Farley dance – think SNL) – sometimes spinning in circles, especially at feeding time or when you first get home. He walks on a leash. When he tries to get into something he shouldn’t, all it takes is a touch on him to catch his attention, make eye contact and direct him to something else more appropriate. He can be crated, although that is not his favorite, and at night, he typically sleeps on the bed (his foster parents caved because he is just too cute!) But because he likes to get into things, he does need to be crated when you are not home (he has gotten onto tables when he thinks there is food there). He may not be good in an apartment because when he first realizes he is alone, or when he is crated, he can panic and bark. He loves to be outside – if his people are there. If people are not outside with him in the yard, he will go out to do his business, and then wants to come back inside right after. If you are interested in Farley, please submit an application and one of our adoption counselors will contact you.

Story
Meet Noelle – All Heart, All Eyes, All Love Meet Noelle, a sweet Shih-Tzu mix momma dog, about 3 years old, with the kind of big, soulful eyes that melt hearts instantly. One look from Noelle and you’ll feel it—this girl was made to love. Noelle was found living in a field with her two puppies and made the long journey from Laredo, Texas with her tail wagging and her heart wide open, ready for a fresh start. She’s been a wonderful mom, and now it’s her turn to live her very best life. She’s housebroken, has a healthy appetite, and plays nicely with other dogs. Within just a day of arriving at her foster home, Noelle confidently claimed her favorite spots on the couch and in the car—she loves car rides just as much as she loves curling up in your lap for pets and kisses. Noelle is friendly with kids and other dogs she meets on neighborhood walks and is currently working on her leash manners. She has a beautiful, soft coat, an easy-going personality, and a soft spot for tasty treats. Gentle, affectionate, and endlessly loving, Noelle will be a wonderful addition to just about any family lucky enough to call her their own. ##2611248##
