Story
Meet Carmy! Age: Adult Weight: 50 pounds Housetrained: yes Crate trained: I don't do well in crates and the stress of being in one makes my tummy upset. Good with: Dogs, older, respectful kids (I love the kiddos!) Special needs: I have separation anxiety, so I take meds to help me feel better I'm a super happy and energetic boy and I love my humans so much! My favorite thing ever is to be outside with you – whether we are going for a walk around the neighborhood, a hike in the woods, or playing fetch in the yard. An active forever family would be so much fun! I like to play tug of war, chew on bones, solve brain games, and shake my favorite stuffies. I am super smart (maybe a little too smart sometimes), so I love to learn new tricks for treats! I would love to be the only man in your life. 💖 Since I have separation anxiety, I'll need my medication and an understanding family that is willing to work with me as I get used to their routine. In my foster home, I am now comfortable being home by myself for up to 8 hours during the daytime, but it took me several weeks to work up to that much time alone without being stressed. I'm a pretty quiet dude, but I do bark and jump up when I get really excited – mostly when we are about to go outside for a walk. I’ve been working on my listening skills when I’m excited or distracted and I am getting better! Treats help :) I’m a big cuddler, but, fair warning, I will take up all your personal space on the couch or bed because I like to snuggle close. I can’t wait to find a forever family that is willing learn and grow with me. I promise to pay you back with lots of love and kisses! Carmy is fostered in the Madison, WI area.

Story
Anita is a fun loving pitty girl who’s been through it. Anita came to the shelter as a stray. From her chip we can tell she has had 5 owners so far. 5 OWNERS?? From talking to past owners, they said she was a great dog, but due to their life style change they were unable to keep her. She had been around other dogs and kids in the homes. We haven’t had her around them here just yet. Anita loves toys. It’s really her true favorite. She also enjoys walking the trails taking in the sounds and investigating EVERYTHING. She really just wants to be with her people all the time. Her dislike is a crates. Would you like to give Anita her best life?
