Story
Hi there, my name is Tigger! I am a 6-year-old neutered male. I am current on my vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped!! 3 words that describe me: Playful, content, loyal. Things Tiggers foster has to say about him: A very low key and easy boy. He gets along great with our dogs and is very respectful of our cats. He bonds very quickly with new people and will be your constant shadow. He would prefer to sleep in bed with his people but has settled for a crate next to the bed. He can be nervous/unsure in new situations and seeks reassurance from his people. Tigger is incredibly affectionate, giving hugs and kisses and he’ll nudge your hand if you’re not providing enough pets. He’s very content to spend all day lounging around when needed which is great since nobody wants to be outside in this weather! Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 6 or 7/10 Housetraining Status: With a consistent routine, my foster mom says I am fully potty trained! I should do well in a home: Due to my timid personality, any children in my potential home will need to be 8 years or older. I am required to meet any and all dogs in the household before adoption. I ignored the cats in my previous home. My favorite activities are: Going for walks, playing fetch, and cuddling! Things I need work on are: My foster says I'm already pretty perfect but, I am a smart guy and could always learn new tricks! Any special needs: N/A Doggy day out notes: "Tigger did super on his DD outing! He loved being out and exploring the great outdoors! He is a bit shy but once he warms up to you, which is quick, your his favorite person and loves your company! I have no doubt that he will thrive in a home setting. Love this boy💙" "Tigger did amazing on his DD outing! This was his 2nd outing with me and was more comfortable being out and around me. Tigger likes calm, quiet environments and going to places with very little activity. He is alot of fun getting to know and he I would love to see him out on more outings with other volunteers. That would be good for him💙" " Tigger did amazing on his DD outing! Such a sweet, mellow boy. He loved to be back at the house just lounging & napping but when it was time for a walk he was excited! He loves being out on walks! Tigger likes quiet, calm places to hang out at with little to no activity so he thoroughly enjoyed time spent at the house. Tigger is a bit shy but once he warms up to you he loves being near you enjoying your company. Love this little guy and he will make a very nice addition to a home💙" My adoption fee is: $300 *If you are interested in adopting, please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal

Story
Rex is a great little one year old dog who finds himself looking for a furever home. He is currently in Texas but if we find a foster or pre-adoptive home for him, he can catch a lift to Wisconsin around Nov. 11th. He loves people and has been fine around kids as young as 5. He does fine with dogs and ignored the cats he has met. Rex was being trained as a service dog but due to some personal issues that came up in the family, they could no longer keep him.   He is about 60 lbs.    His $200 adoption fee will cover his neuter, heartworm test, arabies and distemper vaccines, and microchip. You can find an application for him on our website, www.newleashdogrescue.com ##2559008##

Story
Major is a 1 year old Red Heeler. I adopted him from a farm with two pure bread Australian Cattle Dog parents. Major is a wonderful and very loving heeler. He loves people and other dogs. Amazingly he is not a barker or a nipper. I have trained those things out of him and he is very well behaved. He has been trained to be around very small children. He was to become my service dog. He plays nicely with children from as young as 3 years old without hearding them or nipping. Major is a very obediant dog as well. He understands recall, sit, down, up (jump up onto platforms), and other dog tricks. He loves to play fetch and go for bike rides. He is a great hunting companion as well as I have also trained him for small game hunting and we were working on tracking. He is very smart and learns almost instantly, so anything you train him to do he will pick it up quickly. He is very food motivated. He does well on a leash and even off leash.

Story
UPDATE on 10/8/25, Lacy tested positive for heartworm. She will begin treatment, and will benefit from a foster or adoptive home who can provide her with a quiet environment during this treatment. She will need restricted activity and her family would need to coordinate with our vet for her medications and infusion dates. Meet Lacy! Lacy is approximately 6 years old and is thought to be a possible Australian Cattle Dog type mix. Lacy, along with over 80 dogs, was removed from a property in WI before coming to our facility. Unfortunately, Lacy lived in horrendous conditions and will be needing a family who understands her recent trauma and is patient with her during this transition. She is incredibly sweet, OK with being handled, and loves humans, so that's definitely a plus! What she will need help with is basically the dynamics of living as a beloved pet. This could include things like leash walking, car rides, and exploring the outside world. Lacy is obviously used to being housed around other animals, including other dogs and small animals. Because of this, we think she'd likely prefer a home with other animals as she finds comfort being around her housemates here at the shelter. So far, she is doing great in her kennel at the shelter and will likely adjust well in a new home if she has an area she can decompress and resort to if she needs some quiet time. This darling little dog has been through so much already, but she's going to blossom even more once she has a family to call her own who can give her consistency, patience and love. We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been approved. Please fill out the following PDF Application and email to monroecountydogshelter@gmail.com https://www.co.monroe.wi.us/home/showpublisheddocument/35564 Lacy will be fully vaccinated & spayed prior to adoption. Her adoption fee is $200.

Story
UPDATE: Their foster mom says they are affectionate, listen to commands well, they don't display resource guarding and are not destructive. While they are a bit verbally reactive to other dogs on leash, they do well around other family members' dogs and basically ignore them when they share space. (Barrier reactivity is incredibly common, especially in the bossy herding breeds). While at the foster family's farm setting, Buck & Jojo were described as the easiest fosters they've ever had! (they were both raised on a farm). While at the foster family's more suburban home, they faced some challenges as the city life was not a setting that these two are used to, but they're adjusting as best they can and learning every day! They're used to being kenneled and do well with that whenever they need structure, or if strangers come into the home and their protective nature kicks in. Original Bio: Let us introduce you to Jojo (brown & white female) and Buck (black and grey male). Jojo & Buck are 10.5 year old Heeler mixes who were surrendered because they got ahold of some chickens. They had lived on the same farm/with the same family since they were 10 weeks old, so understandably, the shelter environment was incredibly confusing for them when they first got here. They lived mostly outdoors, but did come inside the home as well. They're friendly with people and other pets, they simply cannot live where they'd have access to chickens. (and they do seem to have a bit of a workup when they see tiny dogs, which could be their natural prey drive) Both Buck & Jojo are adjusting SO well to the shelter life! They were a bit shy at first, but now they're outgoing, funny and playful! They both keep their kennels clean and wait to potty until they're outside. They love their dog beds, they love going for walks with our volunteers, and they enjoy time outside together. Both are treat motivated and already know basic commands! Both are super spunky and will keep you giggling every day! They have such big personalities and are incredibly affectionate. We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been approved. Please fill out the following PDF Application and email to monroecountydogshelter@gmail.com https://www.co.monroe.wi.us/home/showpublisheddocument/35564 Their combined adoption fee has been sponsored! They are both fixed and current on vaccines.

Story
. Leo is a recent surrender who came to DHS due to his owner’s family health. Born in August 2025, he’s at the perfect age to bond with his new family. This affectionate puppy is house- and crate-trained, loves playing fetch, and is sure to fit into just about any household—especially with plenty of exercise and attention.While Leo is guessed to be a Heeler/Collie mix, his exact breed is unknown. He hasn’t spent much time with other dogs since leaving his littermates, but we don’t anticipate any issues. He also hasn’t been around cats.Leo has only been here a short time, yet he’s already warmed the hearts of staff and volunteers alike! He did wonderfully on a recent outing—napping on the couch, taking a fun walk, and earning lots of treats for his stellar behavior. This sweet, playful boy is ready to find his forever family! 🐾💛"I come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petacademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petacademy's team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle me into your home.

Hi there, I'm Brutus! I'm an 8-year-old male Australian shepherd mix. I am current on my vaccines, and soon to be heartworm tested, neutered, and microchipped. I am a foster-to-adopt candidate. 3 words that describe me: Affectionate, Calm, Smart Things staff and volunteers have to say about me: I was brought to CRHS after being found with my deceased owner. This has understandably been a rough change for me and I've had a hard time transitioning to shelter life. I'm still a little nervous around men but, I'm building my trust. I'm now living in a foster home and LOVING IT!!! My foster mom says that I'm smart, sweet and that I'm the best boy for her 5 year old son. Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 4/10 Housetraining Status: My foster mom says I'm completely housebroken with a routine. I should do well in a home: kiddos of all ages. I am required to meet any and all dogs in the household. In my previous home I did not get along with the cats, so my new home will need to be cat free. Staff at CRHS recommend I be taken into foster-to-adopt before adoption, but it's not required. My favorite activities are: Relaxing in a calm environment, sitting with people I'm comfortable with, and learning new things. Things I need work on are: Confidence building, basic commands Any special needs: N/A Doggy day out notes: N/A Daycare Status: N/A My adoption fee is: $250 Training Requirement if applicable: N/A *If you are interested in adopting, please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal
