Muffin: Certified Couch PotatoNot every cattle dog is chasing cows andclimbing mountains. Muffin’s chasing something far more elusive — theperfect nap spot.At just 3 years old, Muffin has already mastered the artof taking it easy. She enjoys short walks (emphasis on short) and believesthat after 10 minutes, it’s time to reflect, rest, and possibly lie down inprotest. Her volunteers have learned to plan routes that end exactly whereshe decides the adventure is over — usually near shade or snacks.Muffin isn’t lazy — she’s efficient. She saves her energy for the important thingsin life: snacks, cuddles, and quality time on the couch. If you’re lookingfor a laid-back companion who’d rather binge-watch than power walk, Muffinis your girl.Adopt Muffin, and gain a professional lounger, world-classcuddler, and the ultimate reminder that sometimes slowing down is the bestway to enjoy the ride.

Marley is truly a find. At 9 years old, he is healthy, vigorous and active, able to go on long walks. Afterwards, he`s calm and chill around the house. It doesn`t get better than that!Marley is great with other dogs of all sizes; he`d like a playmate but is also ok on his own. He`s great meeting new dogs out in the world too.Marley is housebroken, leash trained, great in the car, and easy to have around. Really, he`s the perfect dog -- fit but calm, social but not needy.Marley is about 48 lbs and could use to lose a few but is in good condition. He has no known health issues.

Story
Lizzy is your go to gal for smarts, snuggles, and adventures! She’s eager to please (treat motivated!) and the perfect mix of adventure buddy and cozy home companion. Lizzy has blossomed in foster care in a home environment. She’s housebroken, sleeps through the night, and respects boundaries when they’re set consistently (though she secretly hopes you’ll invite her into bed for snuggles). Not to mention her leash skills are getting better every day! Her favorite types of fun? (1) Outdoor fun: Fetch with her ChuckIt! ball is her FAVORITE, but she also enjoys hikes, jogs, runs, car rides, and walkies and (2) Indoor fun: Lizzy loves to curl up nearby (often with a single paw or her nose touching you) and nap while you relax or work from home, and she`ll happily settle and keep herself entertained with a chew toy, or a pupsicle when you need space). Lizzy is a quick learner, very affectionate, and bonds deeply with those she trusts. She is looking for a home where she can be your one-and-only pet. She’ll thrive with someone who enjoys both snuggling on the couch and exploring the outdoors, and who can offer her patience, structure, and a whole lot of love. Lizzy makes life simple, clear cues and a little love (and a ChuckIt! ball or two) are all she needs.If you’re ready for a once-in-a-lifetime dog who will be your loyal shadow, Lizzy is waiting for you.

Story
Meet OLSASweet Olsa is part of a bonded pair with Falcon, who is most likely her father. They were left behind when the family moved away, and found themselves in our shelter, sad and confused. But they have each other and that seems to make all the difference! They have been in foster care for several months and are doing very well there.Olsa is about eight years old and about 43 pounds. She is an adorable girl, quiet most of the time except when shes trying to get her buddy to play! She loves going on walks around the neighborhood but otherwise shes just happy to hang out; she`s not fit enough for more exercise, so she wouldn`t be a good hiking buddy. The two of them are so easy that anybody who wants dogs that make few demands but are good company would be lucky to have these two. They are crate trained and love going on car rides as well and of course they are housebroken. They do great with other dogs and seemed scared when they met a cat. They are gentle with children.Olsa is shy when she first meets people so you need to give her a chance to warm up. She will need multiple meetings with a potential adopter to get to that point, and a gradual transition to a new home. But once she does shes a lovely companion and would be perfect for someone who just wants some dogs to hang around with that don`t require much. She is also quite frightened by new or sudden sounds, so anyone who adopts her would need to be able to handle a 40-ish pound dog that might be startled and pull sharply on a leash. The rest of the time she walks beautifully.Olsa and Falcon are very attached to each other, and need to go together to a home with a secure yard and a patient family who will let them settle in and build trust at their own pace. The reward is two dogs who are affectionate, obedient, quiet, and easy to have around!

Sweet Murray! This boy is a one year old tricolor Aussie, very striking looking and as loving as he is gorgeous. Not only is he handsome; he's also easygoing and loving. He's basically a big goofy older puppy. Murray plays really well with other dogs. He's also a lover with people. He's probably too rowdy for little kids. And we don't know how he is with cats. Murray is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready to be your best friend!
