Story
Coconut is a sweet, energetic ~1-year-old rescue from Hawaii who is ready for his forever home! He’s a friendly, affectionate boy who absolutely loves cuddles, naps, and chewing on his favorite bones. He’s currently attending doggy daycare and doing well in that environment. He’s up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, and actively working on house training. Coconut is a playful, high-energy pup who would thrive in a home with a large, securely fenced yard where he can run and explore. He would do best with other similarly sized dogs who enjoy active playtime. He has a strong prey drive and does not do well with small dogs or cats. His experience with children is unknown at this time. Adjectives to describe Coconut: Affectionate, playful, energetic, curious, loyal, cuddly, and spirited. He’s looking for an active home that can give him structure, consistency, and lots of love. In return, he’ll give you endless affection and companionship.

Story
I'm Ginger, a 3-year-old, 43-pound Lab/Whippet mix. I'm a beautiful girl with a shiny black coat and amber eyes. I came into rescue when my elderly owner could no longer care for me; now I'm in a foster home, and my foster mom raves about me! She says I'm sweet, gentle, quiet, and submissive. I'm very affectionate, and I love hanging out with my people. I'm also well behaved: I'm house trained, crate trained, good in the car, and good with all handling. I'm non-destructive in the home, and I sleep quietly through the night. I'm well socialized because I grew up in a home with other dogs, and I love playing with the other dogs in my foster home. I also really enjoy going on walks. It takes me a moment to overcome my initial shyness, but once I feel connected to you, I'll be your friend for life.
