Let me introduce you to Pepper, this girl can best be described as the quiet person at the party that is actually going to be the best connection and become a loyal friend for life. The role of “life of the party” isn’t what she is auditioning for, there is only so much room for those. She would best be suited for the role of, dedicated-adoring bestie. Sure, initially she may come off shy but as you get to know her you realize, she likes to get to know the people she spends time with, and for her, knowing is loving. This is a companion dog, content at your side and appreciative of everything, especially the small stuff like snuggles and treats. Take a look at Pepper in action then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/I60i8V38Sdk In rescue breed and age are offered as educated guesses given we do not know a dogs history but we believe Pepper is about 2 years old and is possibly a Cattle dog/Shepherd mix and she weighs 33 lbs. The perfect size for hopping in the car and being able to see out of the window with no trouble at all. Pepper is a perfect putzing-around gal, whatever way you spend your time, she will be happy to be there. She isn’t going to demand attention but she will quietly check-in for some affection, follow along occasionally, before finding a cozy spot nearby to lay down, maybe even with a toy. She responds positively to a connection and comforting presence without needing constant reinforcement or praise. Basically, Pepper will be happy to keep you company without getting in the way. Pepper currently lives with dogs and cats in her foster home, from small young puppies to the large mature ones. With dogs Pepper does have a type- she enjoys calm female companionship and would be happy to live in a home with a companion though she could happily be your one-and-only. And let’s not breeze over it, Pepper is cat-tolerant, not only is she respectful of the cats in her foster home but when introduced to our house kitty, she was curious but calm and respectful of her space. Peppers’s dream home? That is more about who is there, than what. She would love a home with a yard for exploring but what she really wants is someone who can understand that love takes a little time and is happy to give her that time. She has a quiet nature, with her foster sharing that she is both house and crate-trained, along with quiet in her crate. No whining or barking here, she enjoys her crate so its nothing to worry about. Wherever she calls home, she is going to show you the depth of rescue-dog love with her sweet, loving, loyal and attentive presence. It feels amazing to be on the receiving end of something so true. If she sounds like your girl, apply today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/67994d745862364f2a0a61d6 Questions?

Let me introduce you to Greyson, best described as easy-like-Sunday-morning company and a true gentleman. He has all the makings of a loyal friend for life and it is my pleasure to introduce you to him. Meeting him it would be easy to think he is shy, likely because his looks usually go along with a much more excitable personality but he was a refreshing reminder that even in dogs, you cant judge them based on their cover. Shy is not the best way to describe him, he is calm, assured, and steady. Unbothered but fully present, ready for a shared moment or a solo-sit in the sun. He is a true companion dog, content at your side and appreciative of everything, especially the small stuff like snuggles and treats. Watch his Get-To-Know Greyson video here then come back to read more https://youtu.be/pWmiX2uy0ZU In rescue breed and age are offered as educated guesses given we do not know a dogs history but we believe Greyson is about 2 years old and is possibly a Cattle dog/Shepherd mix and he weighs 50 lbs. The perfect size for hopping in and out of the car while being able to see out of the window with no trouble at all. If car-trips are not your thing, that is a-ok with him, putzing around is a favorite past-time of his. However you spend your time, he will be happy to there. He isn’t going to demand attention but he will quietly check-in for some affection and follow along for a bit, before finding a cozy spot nearby to lay down. He responds positively to a connection and comforting presence without needing constant reinforcement or praise. Basically, Greyson will be happy to keep you company without getting in the way. Greyson currently lives with dogs in his foster home and he has shown he has a type- enjoying calm but playful female who can enjoy his companionship without needing a constant playmate, though, he could happily be your one-and-only. Although he did not show us any of the typical qualities we typically see in Cattle dog mixes, having space for play and/or an outlet for energy will be invaluable simply given his age. Whether that is regular hikes, walks or having him join you on runs, he is built for it even if he doesn’t show it. Greyson’s dream home? He would love a home with a yard for exploring but what he really wants is someone who can understand that love takes a little time to build and is happy to give him that time. He has a quiet nature, with his foster sharing that she is both house and crate-trained, and though he may protest the slightest bit for a few minutes in the crate, he settles with no trouble. Wherever he calls home, he is going to show you a depth of rescue-dog love with his sweet, loving, loyal and attentive presence. It feels amazing to be on the receiving end of something so true.

Frankie is a 5yo Blue Heeler. We are guessing he has some Border Collie in him too due to his hair/appearance. He is a kind and loving dog that needs regular exercise and attention. Frankie would thrive in a home with NO other dogs and NO small children. He is gentle with cats but does try to herd them. Frankie is highly intelligent but slightly stubborn. He is a great watch dog and is very loyal to his humans. He does need a bit of leash training as he tries to lead and barks at other dogs. He has a great personality and is looking for a forever home where he is able to run outside and get lots of attention.

~~THIS DOES IS **NOT** IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE OWNER DIRECTLY AT ksherman91@live.com  THANK YOU ~~ REHOMING: in Whatcom county, WA-Frankie is a 5year old Blue Heeler. Frankie is a good boy with a sweet heart. He loves his humans and is a great watch dog. He loves outdoor time and playing fetch with a ball or a frisbee. He is the first to greet you when you get home and is sad to see you leave. He is potty trained and incredibly smart, but also a little stubborn. He knows many commands but tests his independence sometimes when off leash.  Frankie is an only dog and would prefer to stay that way. He does well on leash but when he crosses other dogs' paths he tends to bark or try to show dominance. With consistent walks I believe this could be corrected. He loves going on adventures and walks.  He has lived with cats his whole life and is gentle with them but as a cattle dog he tends to herd them.  Frankie would do fine with older kids but cannot be with small children. He tends to react and act out of character when provoked or stressed.  This is our reason for rehoming. We realize this type of stress is too much for Frankie with a toddler and another baby on the way.  He is healthy without any health concerns.  Frankie would thrive in a home with a fenced in yard with room to play and run, no other dogs, and no small children. He needs regular exercise and attention.  Frankie is roughly 50 lbs and has medium length black and white hair. He is not neutered.  I do imagine he might take a short amount of time to  acclimate to his new surroundings and people since he has been with us his whole life, but once he gets to know you he will show his affection.  ##2205185##
