Story
I took in this big gentle giant when no one had the means to care for him. Sky is a approximately 12, is very healthy and calm, but still lively. He wants to cuddle and likes comfy blankets and stuffed animals. He never growls or shows any aggression and listens well. Please look at my profile because I posted my other dog Bo who gets along great with Sky if you're in the market for two dogs.

I'm in a FOSTER HOME! If you want to meet me, you can start the process by emailing my foster parent at ekurland@humanerescuealliance.org to set up a time to virtually meet me.I'm the Captain and my foster mom says I'm super sweet! I'm housebroken and a bit shy with people I don't know. I'm good with cats and I'm not reactive to dogs when I see them on walks. Email my foster mom to learn more about me.

Story
I'm in a FOSTER HOME! If you want to meet me, you can start the process by emailing my foster parent at holstine.kyle@gmail.com to set up a time to virtually meet me! Ryylin is a sweet middle-aged girl who loves people (adults and children) and seeks to please them at every opportunity. While we're not sure of her past, she seems to have been given a good amount of training in her life. No matter the circumstance, she quickly responds to direction. In almost every situation she's obedient when given commands. She has all the basic commands like sit, down and stay. When we move from one level of the house to the next, she's been trained not to proceed until given the "come" command. As expected of a dog her age she is house-trained.Though she'd rather spend all her time with her human, she has no problem staying home alone for a full workday. No separation anxiety, no accidents, and no destruction. Ryylin is a moderate energy girl. She's content to lounge around all day and is a world champion cuddler. However, she also loves children and reciprocates their energy level in a variety of games and activities. She'll take as many walks as you'll give her but doesn't complain or beg if you come up a few short one day. She also accepts car rides if you have the time. If you want a dog that gives you unconditional love and is low maintenance, Ryylin is the dog for you. Come meet her, you'll be glad you did!To learn more about Ryylin or to schedule a meet and greet, contact holstine.kyle@gmail.com.

Story
I'm in a FOSTER HOME! If you want to meet me, you can start the process by emailing my foster parent at eckardn01@gmail.com to virtually meet me. Ms. Minnie is a snuggle bug while also an energetic bundle of joy. She doesn't know personal space and will cuddle up right next to you on the couch. While in foster, she's been able to learn to sit, wait, lay down, paw, and rollover. She's near the end of her potty training journey as when she needs to go, she sits at the door to let you know. She's a super smart and sweet girl that needs patience. She takes a little to warm up to strangers, but food is the way to her heart. She loves to meet other furry friends but can be dog-selective, so a dog meet and greet would be required. She's a curious girl and loves to explore new things. Minnie loves window watching, ice cubes, lick mats and puzzles to work her mind. She needs a patient parent who will help her with confidence! To learn more, please email her foster mom at eckardn01@gmail.com.

** I am currently being housed at our Oglethorpe St location. Come meet me at 71 Oglethorpe St NW, every day between 12pm-7pm. Please arrive no later than 6:30 p.m. to allow ample time to interact with adoptable dogs. Or visit humanerescuealliance.org/how-to-adopt to learn more. ** Peachy is keen! Yes, this gorgeous, lovely gal has this amazing way to charm everyone. She just gives these adorable puppy-dog eyes, and we all melt. She is so cute! Peachy was found tied up near a gas station. Poor miss! She was so happy when we saved her, and she had been a total love since she arrived. And she is so happy to get the medical care she so needed. Plus, food and treats and pettings! The only thing that is missing now is a great home for Peachy. She would love to be with folks that will take her for nice walks and give her warm beds. Meet this peachy-keen pooch today. She is wonderful!

She hasn't been a fan of meeting other dogs, because of this she would probably do better as the only dog in a home. Brook prefers to be the queen of her new castle, could you be the right fit for her? She is sweet and wiggly and adorable! Come meet her today!
