Story
A new Dawn is coming....teehee, it`s me! I`m Dawn, a lady who has been through quite a lot, but I haven`t let that stop me from being a joyous friend to all. I arrived to ACAR with a badly dislocated hip, but the medical team helped me through surgery and recovery, and I`m back, baby! I do get around well but do best with respectful dogs who don`t play too rough. I LOVE cozy beds and blankies, and I don`t mind being dressed up in warm sweaters. I keep my kennel clean and tidy, and the staff believes I`m housebroken. I would make a lovely companion for someone looking for a laidback girl to peacefully coexist through this beautiful life with. Let`s meet!

Story
It`s Friday, Friday, gotta adopt a dog named Fridayyyyy. Don`t mind me, just partying because every day could feel like the weekend if you adopt me! I`m a little guy with mighty big ears, and I`ll lead you to believe I`m a shy little mouse, but I come to life for food. Send a lil food my way and I`ll be eating out of your hand (literally). Thanks to num nums and my staff friends, I`ve really come out of my shell lots and now enjoy going on walks, enjoying a pup cup or ice cream, and even puttering around in a playgroup or two with other dogs. I will walk backwards into your hand to awkwardly ask for booty pats, and I know I`ll stick to my person like glue in the home. Grab a cookie and ask to meet me!

Story
Ready to meet your Heart dog? I`m Heart, and my friends say I`m lovely and have all the makings of a heart dog. I`m a big boy but a little baby, so I got to spend time in a foster home to work on my confidence. I became SUCH a sweetheart in such a short time and loooved my foster momma and my foster dog sibling. My foster momma helped me get started on potty training, commands, and all the basic dog stuff I missed out on before I arrived at ACAR. She said with a little time and patience, I come to life and become such a loyal friend. I would do anything for you, so could you do a little favor for me? Ask to fall in love with me today!

Story
One word: ears. I am Caleb, and these ears are alllll natural, the bigger and better to hear you with (and dote on every word you say). Dashing looks aside, I`m a lowkey guy working on becoming a big, brave boy. I look to you for guidance and like to stay nearby, so I know I`m going to attach to my forever person in no time. I love food so much that treats are helping me learn beautiful leash manners and commands like sit and down. I have been friendly with the other dogs I`ve met so far and don’t mind lounging in the sunshine with them. These ears are picking up something...what’s that I hear...you’re coming to see me? Let’s make it soon!
