Story
Lucia was born on the streets and despite it all maintained her sweet disposition. She is loving to other dogs and people, she is a big puppy unaware of her own size, so she might not be a great fit for children under 12. Lucia is also a speed demon, she is agile and can jump easily five feet from a sitting position. She loves to run. Lucia would be amazing as an agility dog. She has spent some time with out amazing trainer to learn how to control all that speed and agility and is walking like a champ on a leash, she is crate trained, house broken and fully vetted and spayed. Lucia does well with other dogs, we don't know about cats. She is probably a bit too young to be around very small children, but she likes kids and likes to hang out with them on the floor while they are watching TV. Lucia needs a family that is active and not afraid of a dog who can jump and run, she will give you all her love and devotion and loves to learn tricks and spend time with humans. Her adoption fee is $350 and she can be adopted by filling out the adoption application: www.usdogcoalition.org/adoptions

Story
Meet Zeus 🐾 Zeus is a sweet, sensitive young dog who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. He’s shy and cautious around new people—especially men—and can get anxious when things change. But once he learns to trust you, he’s incredibly affectionate and loyal. With his foster, he’s quiet, calm, and perfectly content to nap nearby during the workday. Zeus has an adorable mix of confidence and quirkiness—one ear stands tall while the other flops, and he prances like a little horse when he walks. He has a funny “talk-whine” when he wants to go outside and loves to “hunt” for sticks, proudly carrying them around or tossing them in the air to play by himself. 💫 Highlights: 🏡 House-trained and crate-trained 🦮 Walks nicely on leash—graceful prance included! 🚗 Rides calmly in the car 🐶 Enjoys dogs his size once he knows them 💤 Sleeps well through the night ❤️ Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative 🏠 Ideal Home: Zeus would do best in a quieter home with patient adopters who can help him continue to build confidence. He’d love a fenced yard to stretch his legs and run, and he might enjoy having a gentle dog companion. He’d also be fine as an only dog with plenty of walks and attention. Because he can be nervous, dog-savvy older children would be best. With time, consistency, and love, Zeus will reward his adopter with deep trust, quiet companionship, and a lifetime of devotion. 💛
