Story
2 yr old tricolor M/N Kelpie/GSD mix Looking for a dogs dog?? Gunner is your guy! He was comfortable enough around me, allowed touch, took treats, interacted some with me, but he really really wanted to play with the big dog in the next yard. He wasn't aloof though! Took treats gently, eager to please and loved being called a good boi, it was a fun yard time for both us us He does seem to be feeling the stress from the shelter, some have had some trouble getting him out of his kennel but he was perfectly behaved for me. This is an active breed, he will need consistent physical and mental exercise to be happy, it is likely what is causing his current stress and occasional barrier reactivity. It is worth noting that he was a very loud bork monster when I first approached his kennel but after 3 treats he was ready to follow me anywhere I was going Knows how to sit, walks well on the leash (just a tiny bit of pulling) and seemed potty trained!! ##2528145##

Story
Ceasar is a 15mth old altered male kelpie mix Ceasar Hey, I’m Ceasar. I’ll be real with you — I’m still figuring this whole “new people” thing out. Meeting strangers makes me nervous, and if I feel cornered, I might snap. But here’s the thing: once I get to know you and trust you, my softer side comes out, and I can relax and be myself. The good news? I get along with dogs way easier than I do with people! They help me feel comfortable and confident. With patience, training, and someone willing to go slow, I know I can keep improving just like I did with my foster. If you’re the type of person who believes in second chances and helping an underdog shine, I’d love to be your project pup and, eventually, your best friend. ##2498991##

Story
Here is a dog you won’t have to “figure out,” she is practically a cliche version of good dog. Easy company, fun-loving, adventure ready, and the perfect amount of personality to keep things light hearted and fun. She settles in, reads the room, and melts into the rhythm without asking for much in return. Go watch Lola the Low-Key Adventure Buddy on YouTube, then come back and picture what life with her would actually feel like… because she’s great in a highlight reel but she is aiming for real-life everyday ease. https://youtu.be/4Z7sIlz_OcA Lola is about 3 years old, 47 lbs, and likely a kelpie/cattle dog mix- rescue rules in full effect, of course- no guarantees on breed or birthday. She’s currently living in a foster home where things are calm, steady, and shared… with a 12-year-old boy and even a cat she free roams with. No micromanaging, no constant supervision, her foster says she just understands how to be a house dog. Her foster describes her as “incredibly easy,” and it shows in all the ways that matter. Lola moves comfortably between activity and rest… happy to join you for a walk, a dog park outing, or a little backyard squirrel surveillance, then just as content to come inside and settle near her people. She doesn’t need constant entertainment or create chaos when things slow down. She’s affectionate without being over the top, present without being demanding… the kind of dog who lays nearby while you go about your day, checking in quietly without a fuss. With other dogs, she leans toward coexistence over play. She can share space easily, especially with a calm dogs who are not looking to wrestle or push boundaries. She’s clear about her space when she needs to be, and then goes right back to minding her business. It’s honest, appropriate communication… fair and effective. Lola feels like the kind of dog who fits into real life. School mornings, work days, evenings on the couch, weekend outings. Nothing complicated, nothing overwhelming… just a good dog who knows how to be part of a home. If that sounds like your kind of pace, Lola is ready and waiting for her best adventure yet! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69eb842a1757f7a7bf01ade8 Questions?
