Story
Meet Columbia, a stunning chocolate-colored mixed breed with eyes that could melt even the coldest heart! This sweet girl is as gentle as she is beautiful and has been an absolute joy to foster. Columbia is a pro at sleeping through the night and does great in her crate—no fuss, no complaints! On a leash, she walks well and never pulls, though sometimes she needs a little encouragement to get moving – the sniffs are just too good. She’s also doing wonderfully with her potty training and keeps a clean space when given regular breaks. She’s friendly with both dogs and cats and enjoys being around her people. Columbia is an easygoing, affectionate companion who would love a home where she can be loved and appreciated for the sweetheart she is!

Story
Not quite a redhead (but kind close) and not quite royalty, the reality is Fergie could surely be a princess and is actually shooting for that in her future life because this pocket pittie is stinking adorable and high class even if her prior life doesn't say that. Fergie is an adult who weighs a total of 32 lbs full grown and is a pit bull mix. She is wonderful all around! Easy going with other dogs, a great energy level and quiet and never demanding, Fergie is ready to move in! Known for their lack of personal space, Fergie is totally small enough to be lap ready and will be your shadow everyday. So roll out the red carpet, bring out the horse and carriage...and welcome Fergie home! **Volunteer Dog Walker feedback: "I had the sweetest girl on the hike, little Ms. Fergie! She is a pocket pittie with energy. She did great on the leash, got along with the other dogs and absolutely loved treats. Fergie is definitely built for being inside with AC and a lap to sit on. She was generous too, with kisses and hugs!! Fergie is an awesome dog".  *Weekend Host feedback: "She is great in a crate during the day or overnight. She is a wonderfully snuggly dog. She will be your best friend on the couch as she loves to be held. I loved having Fergie this weekend. She is a great car riding buddy as well".

Story
And she’ll have fun, fun, fun ‘till, well not sure the fun will ever end for this young girl. Erla is a young adult with a striking tri-color coat with eyebrow highlights! She is around 23 lbs and still has a little growing to do, but she will likely settle into a delightful mini retriever/lab mix. She’s a girl that loves time out with her play group friends, but also can entertain herself with a stick and a pine cone. She loves attention and hasn’t met a stranger. This girl is destined for family gatherings, walks in the park and lounging around for movie night with her besties. Erla would love to see her name on an adoption request, so don’t delay! *Weekend Host feedback: "She’s incredibly smart! I bought her some dog toys, and she absolutely loves them. She quickly figured out how to bite the exact spot that makes the squeaky sound — it was amazing to watch. It’s been so impressive to see her pick up on these things in just a few days. I truly hope this sweet, calm, and clever girl finds a loving family — she really deserves it"!

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Fancy Schmancy Lobster has arrived at the farm and he has high-class dreams of a furever home where he will be spoiled rotten, and he absolutely deserves just that. This sweetheart is one of the newest members of the tripawd squad due to an old injury, but you wouldn’t know it to watch him blaze around the yard or chase after tennis balls! Lobster has been recovering in a foster home, and his foster family notes that he’s great in his crate and sleeps through the night with no issues. This smartypants has excellent potty manners when kept on a schedule, but he’s still working on his leash-walking, as he loves to just run, run, run in the backyard. Although he wasn’t aggressive towards the kitties in his foster home, his energy and enthusiasm seemed to be a bit much for them. With great ears and amazing brindle markings and speckles, Lobster really is a delicious pup! He’s made a lot of friends at the farm, showing he loves to play and romp and adores the company and attention of all the volunteers as well. He would settle well into most homes as just some love, walkies, some snuggles are all this sweet boy needs to finally be home! **Volunteer Dog Walker feedback: "Lobster was energetic and remained very adamant about being the leader of the pack. As a new tripod , other volunteers and I were very impressed at Lobsters' efforts to keep a steady pace on the hike. Lobster has never met a stranger and loved the interactions with other people and dogs, often stealing water, and scratches during periods of rest. Although Lobster remained eager and focused to continue walking during breaks , he did not mind walking in close proximity of others". Weekend Host Feedback: "Lobster is a sweet boy with a lot to say! Lobster is a trooper, I forgot a few times that he was even a tripod! He did good on walks and didnt skip a beat when playing fetch. He is vocal when he gets excited, like when he saw me pull his harness out to go on a walk! Definitely potty trained, he let me know when he had to go out by whining at the door and the few times I took him out on my own, he knew what we were out there for and did his business. Lobster is a true cuddle bug on the couch and I truly enjoyed having him here this weekend."

Story
With a half and half face (and all beautiful) and ears that are smoochable, Bella is just what her name would suggest....just beautiful. This young adult terrier mix weighs about 40 lbs full grown and has lots of energy and love to spread all around. She is good in her crate, always quiet and loves to watch things going on around her, but when outside she adores being active and in the mix of things. Bella would love to join an active home and might prefer the company of an active and young dog and is definitely a good match for a boyfriend (or even two) of the doggo kind. When the fun and games are over, Bella is a true snuggle bug making her the best pal to hike with as well as nap with. Hard to ask for anything better!
