Story
Wendell is a 60-pound cattle dog mix with a good heart and a thoughtful nature. He enjoys his walks and does well on pack walks, where he seems to appreciate having other dogs around. Wendell can be a little reserved when meeting new people, so he’s looking for a quieter home where he can take his time getting comfortable and build a relationship at his own pace. Once he feels secure, we think there is a wonderful dog waiting to come out. Wendell would love a patient adopter who understands that the best relationships aren’t always instant. Give him a little time, and he’ll have the chance to show you who he really is.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereMeet Paloma, the one-of-a-kind pup who's sure to steal your heart with her stunning blue eyes. This 5-year-old, 47-pound Shepsky/Cattle Dog mix girl is full of spark, a social butterfly who adores meeting new people and soaking up all the love and attention. She also happens to be deaf, but that doesn't hold her back from enjoying everything that life has to offer! Her foster says Paloma is a bundle of joy with a tail that never stops wagging. A quick learner, she's crate and potty trained, knows how to sit, and politely takes treats. She’s mastering leash skills and enjoys going on pack walks with her giant dog foster siblings. Always up for adventures, Paloma loves going for car rides and gets excited as soon as she sees her harness. In the home she is an independent gal who is respectful, good with houseguests, quiet, and able to relax either home alone or by your side as the perfect work from home buddy. But she's always up for a little tug of war or chasing a ball whenever you want to play! Paloma is in search of a forever home as a solo dog or with a well-matched dog companion and no other small pets. She'll do best in a quiet neighborhood as busy places can be overwhelming. A high-energy, intelligent working breed mix, Paloma will thrive in a house with a yard or with regular exercise along with mental stimulation. If you're looking for a special companion that will bring love and excitement to your life, Paloma is the one for you!

Story
Abigail is an adorable pup looking for a family that's ready for all the fun—and responsibility—that comes with raising a puppy. Like all young dogs, this little one will need continued training, structure, patience, and plenty of socialization to grow into a confident, well-mannered adult. Puppies thrive with consistency, regular exercise, and opportunities to explore the world in positive ways. At this young age, frequent potty breaks, supervision, and guidance are essential, so a home where someone is available at least every three hours is important. We think Abigail is a cattle dog mix. She will likely be a high energy adult who will need plenty of daily mental and physical stimulation to keep her happy and well-behaved. If you're ready to invest the time, love, and commitment a puppy deserves, Abigail could be the perfect addition to your family. Fill out a questionnaire and a volunteer will be in touch!

Story
Meet Amelia! Amelia is a 19-pound 'mini' Heeler mix with a big personality packed into a small body. She is very smart, very sweet, and very much a little shadow—once she decides you’re her person, she wants to be right by your side. She is the classic velcro dog that cattle dogs are notorious for. She’s affectionate, cuddly, playful, curious and food-motivated, with just enough mischief to keep things interesting. She’ll happily spend the day at your feet or in your lap, and she has even mastered standing on her hind legs. She’s also surprisingly gentle and has been sweet with a young child. But Amelia is not a plug-and-play dog. She is cautious with new people and needs time to build confidence. She is still learning how to walk nicely on a leash and currently tends to zigzag underfoot. She jumps up, tries to counter-surf (not tall enough) and needs continued basic obedience, socialization and structure. She’s also a tiny Houdini who figured out how to open her crate, so a secure setup is a must. She would also strongly prefer to sleep in your bed at night. Amelia bonds quickly and can struggle when left alone, so she’d do best with someone who works from home, is around frequently, or has another compatible dog. She has not been tested with cats. She can also be a little protective of her person, so introductions to dogs that don't live in the home should be thoughtful. In return for the time and patience you put into her, you’ll get an incredibly devoted little dog who wants nothing more than to feel safe, loved and connected to her person. Amelia would thrive with an active, experienced adopter who understands smart working breeds and is excited to keep training. She is not looking for a hands-off home—she’s looking for her person. And once she finds you, she’s all in. (MB)

He also signaled when he needed to go outside. Sweet and responsive: Edric settles nicely with gentle petting and enjoys calm physical affection, though he may become a little bouncy when excited.
