Story
Jumbo Joe, aka JoJo, is not your average Joe! He's a 7-year-old big baby who adores his humans and savors special cuddle times with them. Jojo loves his walks and gets along great with dogs his size or smaller. He firmly believes that cats and squirrels were put on this earth to be chased, so he'll do best in a cat-free home. His foster mom has been teaching him basic cues like Touch, Come, and  Place, which  help him feel more confident and respond happily without getting confused, frustrated, or stressed. JoJo is also a master food puzzle solver and an enthusiastic ball player. He loves his toys and truly appreciates when people play with him and  take  interest in his favorite  things..., and  of course, there's no such thing as too many toys! He's looking for a foster-to-adopt or forever home that can offer him the daily exercise, enrichment, and rest he needs to shine like the star he is. He'll thrive with positive reinforcement and force-free training, where he can keep learning new skills, keeping his mind sharp and his heart warm and happy.

Story
We picked up Gretzky from the human society in Reno in 2023. When he was two years old. He loves his owners very much. When he trusts you he loves you. He needs an experienced owner with a backyard and no other dogs. Gretzky does not get along with other dogs he is a solo guy. He is fine on walks around other dogs but not left off leash. He truly is the biggest lover, he is a guard dog and will keep you and your family extremely safe. He is a beautiful boy, he has a sensitive stomach and can only have certain proteins (chicken fish turkey). We love him with our whole hearts but because of his issues with other dogs it’s become a real concern for us being able to handle him.

Story
Seeking foster, foster to adopt or adopter. Charlie  was suffering from a blocked urethra and painful bladder stones, and his owner faced the difficult decision to euthanize him or surrender him. The amazing staff at @MedVet Emergency Clinic contacted us so he could get the lifesaving care he needed. We immediately stepped in. Thanks to our incredible vet team, Charlie was unblocked, had his bladder stones removed, and also underwent NARES surgery and a soft palate resection so he can finally breathe easier. He was also treated for double ear infections and allergies.  If you're looking for a super chill, oversized lapdog that loves cuddles, Charlie is your boy! He is adorable, loves all people, and is great with dogs of all sizes. He patiently puts up with his 15lb three-legged puppy foster sister and has made doggy friends everywhere he goes. He is super affectionate and loving. He is just an easy-going dude that likes to eat, play, chew toys, and then take long naps. He is a hilarious, big-bulldozer-of-a dog who unintentionally rearranges furniture and snores like a grown man. We have a ramp set up so he can walk up to the couch, and he would happily spend all of his time with his head or most of his body on you while you relax and binge-watch your favorite shows. He is the definition of a couch potato.  Charlie is an absolute big hunk of love! He has been shuffled around too many times in his life through no fault of his own, and he absolutely deserves a loving home to comfortably live out his golden years.  Charlie was suffering from a blocked urethra and painful bladder stones, and his owner faced the difficult decision to euthanize him or surrender him.

He was also treated for double ear infections and allergies. ? low House trained?  Yes, he was house-trained before his surgery, but with the urinary infection and stone irritation, he is regaining his bladder control. He always poops outside. Describe how they are on a leash?  Good. He only requires very short potty walks Describe how they are with other dogs?  Great. Can be playful for short periods. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? not tested Commands they know?  not sure, maybe "be cute" and "sit". What are their favorite things?  squeaky toys, people, kids, dogs, meals, cuddles What do they need to work on?  nothing! He's such an easy boy How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  Great. He happily sleeps in his crate. We have not had to leave him for more than 3 hours Where do they sleep?  Crate What is their ideal home?  Charlie would love humans who give him lots of love and affection. He could live in almost any environment. He is super low maintenance. With some big comfy beds and a few toys, he could happily nap the day away.    The Adoption fee is $325.   For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs , please complete our online adoption application at  www.everypetsdream.org/adopt .

Story
Meet Ruby 💎 Ruby is an extremely sweet and loving girl. She loves her people so deeply and isn’t biased on who gets her love! A giant bucket of pure joy! She loves to chew her toys and indulge in her treats! Also has the endurance for short walks and loves to explore new things to sniff! But she takes a strong arm as she is learning to not pull still. Continuing training with her is ideal as she has some catching up to do! With proper introductions- she happily has lived with dogs before and still lives with cats! She does get overwhelmed with young children so we think it’s best that kids are older and respectful of animals. She is crate trained, potty trained and knows basic commands. The parts we know of her past is heartbreaking! She was rescued from the kill list at Devour Animal Shelter. She was obviously used as a breeder dog who had many litters with the c section scars to prove it! Her back leg muscles were weak and she had urine burns which means she didn’t get time out of a crate besides being bred. Due to her past, she takes time to trust that other dogs are her friends. Ruby has been vaccinated, microchipped and fixed! She is ready for her new home! Ruby is about 5 years old.
