Story
Howlett is a happy, handsome guy that can be on the stubborn side at times. He is around a year old and will need someone who has experience with stubborn breeds and is willing to work with him. He knows sit and shake. Howlett loves to go outside for walks and loves to play in his play yard! He is treat motivated and loves to play with the kong toys! Howlett did test positive for Lyme but is currently on antibiotics for it. Due to no past history an age restriction for children in the home may apply, please discuss this with shelter staff.

Story
CHANCE – have you ever seen a more handsome fella? Just a few things about this sweet guy. The vet believes that Chance is between 18mo - 2yrs old and weighs 59lbs. • He is heart worm negative and neutered. •He is super sweet and gentle - wants to cuddle and be near his person. •He is dog-friendly (the foster doesn’t have cats, so we are not certain if he’s cat-friendly) •He is people-friendly to everyone he has met. Foster does not have small children, but he has been fine around children on walks. Due to his size and youth, he might knock down small children, but he is not aggressive. •He is house broken. Even in the rain and snow he has let us know he needs to go out. •He is a little timid to new people at first, but warms up quickly. •He very rarely barks. •He has learned to sit, walk on a leash, and “wait” for his food bowl to be put down. •He is very food motivated, so can be easily trained with treat rewards. He is not reactive when eating. •He can be possessive over certain toys with a low, warning growl if another dog tries to take it from him. •He is not interested in fetching a ball, but loves chew toys and antlers. • He can be very active, but is also happy cuddled up with his person. •He would do great in a house with another dog, but would be fine as an only dog also. Once adopted Chance will travel via private transport (transport cost is $160.00) to a location closest to you.

Story
***I WOULD PREFER A HOME WITH TEENS +I am a very energetic girl. I am a little nervous and hate being restrained. I like to mouth at your hands and will need a lot of training to learn my manners. I would do best with a family who does not have any young children, and who understands my body language and can help me be my best self!
