Chanel is the sweetest dog. She great with both kids but as things have changed for us economically I’ve had to go back to work and the house is constantly moving and it’s hard to give her the attention she deserves anymore. We’ve also downgraded to an apartment and there’s ALOT less room so walk see more difficult and making sure she gets the exercise she requires.

Story
Zoomer is incredibly handsome and super smart. He's able to master new skills quickly and curious about the world around him. Zoomer LOVES car rides and walks. He's strong, so, he'd do best with a more active adopter who is looking for an adventure buddy. He would love to hike and camp and sit out under the stars. He would love road trips and roughing it in the great outdoors. He'd love having a backpack and a job. He would love being included and being talked to. He'd love to feel like he belongs. Zoomer's adoption fee has been paid for by his Secret Crush!

Story
Let’s get Jasmine a home for the holidays! She is a WONDERFUL big puppy who absolutely adores EVERYONE! Jasmine was originally a bottle baby with us earlier in the year and she and her siblings were all adopted. However, her new owner had a family emergency and was unable to keep her. Now she is back with us and desperately needs a forever home! Her mom appears to have been an Akita and her dad was a mixed breed with some husky (one of her siblings got a DNA test done). She is nine months old and weighs about 50 pounds. She will probably get upwards of 80 pounds when fully grown. Jasmine has grown up in a home with other large breed dogs and with kids ranging from toddlers and up. Her adopters also had little kids and big dogs. Jasmine is crate trained and house trained. (But she does submissive pee when she is nervous). She ADORES kids!! She’s also a big puppy and loves playtime with all other dogs. She’s not the most coordinated when running around, but she’s up for playtime with everyone and is often our “greeter” at adoption events. If you are interested in adopting Jasmine, please fill out an application at: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog **Applications can take anywhere from 5-7 business days to complete. When filling out an application, please check for a confirmation email to be sure that your application went through. We respond by email, so please check your spam and trash folders.

Story
Hi, I’m Goldie. I am the bouncy, cheerful half of this sister duo, and I always wake up ready to start the day, especially if breakfast is involved. I love snuggles, car rides, and any soft, cozy place where I can cuddle with my people. I may take a minute to warm up to someone new, but once I do, I am affectionate, playful, and full of love.I get along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats, and during walks I stay calm and ignore every squirrel, dog, or distraction that goes by. I love roaming in a quiet yard, sniffing around, and spending time in peaceful outdoor spaces. I enjoy being brushed and pampered, and with my fluffy shepherd coat I’ll need regular grooming to stay comfortable.My sister Sage and I are a bonded pair and need to stay together. She depends on me, and I love her deeply. We are both sweet, gentle girls who need a quiet home with patient people who will let us settle in at our own pace. I can`t wait to find my forever home with my sister Sage!XOXO,Goldie

Despite his fear, Koko did not run away and remained on the spot, waiting for help. Ever since then, he’s been living in a boarding house, patiently waiting for his forever home! • Personality: Friendly, Energetic, Happy Initially, Koko was very nervous and frightened during his first days at the boarding house.
