Story
Hi! My name is Chestnut and I am available for adoption.I was abandoned at the shelter December 2, 2025.I weigh 69lbs and am considered a `large breed` dog.I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to hang out with you at home once I get to know you!Because of my shy nature, I would do best in a calm, quiet home.I would do best in a home with older children.I am a gentle and loving dog who likes to take things slow. I may get nervous in new situations, so I am looking for a family who understands that I might take some time to warm up. Once I get to know you, I will be a very devoted friend!

Story
Hi! My name is Ren and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by an Animal Control Officer on December 5, 2025 and then ultimately surrendered by my owner.When I arrived at RASKC I was very emaciated. I went to a wonderful foster home who gave me a lot of TLC and now I am at a healthy weight of ~20 lbs. When fully grown I will probably be a `medium breed` dog.My foster says this about me, `Ren is a very high-energy puppy, and I mean a lot of energy. She loves to run, jump, play fetch, and tug of war, and she will do best with someone who is active and understands puppy behavior. She is still teething and learning not to use her mouth when she gets excited, and she is working on potty training and crate training. She will go into her crate on her own.She is extremely smart, learns very quickly, and truly wants to do good and be good. During rest time, she is very loving and cuddly and has so much love and affection to give. She is working on being socialized and may bark or growl at new people, especially men, and I am actively working with her on that. She is friendly with cats and dogs, but should be supervised since she doesn`t yet understand her size difference. Because of this, she would do best in a home with older children. I am looking for the very best home for Ren-someone patient, committed, and willing to continue helping her grow into the amazing dog I know she is.`I am an adaptable puppy who loves to go with the flow! I am outgoing and carefree, and I just can`t wait to find my forever home!I am currently in a foster home, please fill out a foster interest form if you would like to meet me! :)
