Story
Parfait is an Australian Kelpie mix who is full of love and kisses. This approx 18 month old girl is the perfect size at 44 lbs. Parfait came to her foster home after being a stray. She is cautious and timid at first, but once she warms up to you, she becomes an affectionate velcro dog. She is still learning household manners, and we’re just starting to work on basic commands. However, she is housebroken and crate trained. Parfait is great with other dogs and good with cats. She loves to run around the fenced yard with the other dogs. She walks nicely on the leash and is good in the car. Parfait will do best in a home with older children who will understand when to go slowly and give her space. This good girl will need a forever family who is willing to give her time to adjust. After a couple of weeks in her foster home, she is still jumpy with loud noises and sudden movements. Parfait will need some time and love to understand that she’s safe and home. --- To apply to adopt, please follow the steps for adoption on HalfwayThereRescue.com/Adoption-Process and apply directly here: https://fs26.formsite.com/htrnp/a2k3lsooud/index.html

Story
Contact foster at: jaacostar12@gmail.comSmoky is a perfect gentleman. He knows how to sit, shake hands and lay down on command. He communicates his needs by walking to his leash and harness or when he wants to join you on the couch. He`s a perfect adventure buddy that loves hikes, playing in the water or simply being in the car while you go on errands. He`s potty trained as well and doesn`t unnecessarily bark when he`s inside. His favorite things are walks, playing tug of war and running across the apartment playing fetch with his chew bone.More about Smoky:-Good on leash, can be strong at first-Enjoys playing with tennis balls-Quiet and polite gentleman -Potty trained-Gorgeous brown eyes and beautiful gray/black coat-Better interactions with female dogs-Needs to be the only dog in the home*-Slept through the night-Fetches, but mostly plays `keep away`-Took a bath, didn`t love it but was patient-Actually likes to play in water-Sweet, patient, fun-Minds his manners-Likes car rides-Spooked at sudden sounds, makes a few alarm barks, but not excessive-Likes to stay around you-Grabby with toys, not aggressive, just fast and mouthy...may be best without small children-Interested in anything

Story
MEET MILLIE!STATS: 3 years old, spayed, Black Australian Shepherd MixAFFECTION/ENERGY LEVEL: My little nub tail wiggles at a million miles a minute! I have a good amount of energy, love playing with the other pups my size, and I will immediately roll over for belly rubs when I see a person! My energy level is the perfect balance of chill and independent with a little spunk for other dogs thrown in the mix. When it comes to spending time with my humans, I am super laid back and would be totally content sitting at your feet and getting scratches. I also like to smile with my front teeth when I am super happy (you’ll have to meet me to understand!)WHAT I LOVE: I LOVE belly rubs! If we make eye contact with you, it’s almost guaranteed that I will roll over and beckon you for tummy scratches. I also love to sploot my legs out behind me in the cool grass.KIDS: I don’t have any previous history with kids, but I recently did great at an event with children! As long as they are respectful of my space, I would be a very good girl!OTHER DOGS: I`m dog-friendly and enjoy the company of other dogs! I go to playgroup here at the shelter! I prefer dogs of my own size, though. I am a heeler, after all!CATS: UnknownHER MATCH: If you want to lay around and be lazy together, take the occasional long walk, play outside a little, and come back inside for more lazy cuddles, you just might be my type! I have done wonderfully at events in social situations – I pretty much just laid around and waited for people to come pet me. I am also known around the shelter for being a great walker because I just love spending time with the people here!SPECIAL NOTE: From my adorable nub tail to my toothy smile, I am absolutely precious!Complete an online application and get pre-approved to adopt at https://www.cognitoforms.com/YorkCountyAnimalControl/PetAdoptionSurvey.

Story
Buff is around 8 months old and is not a large boy. Maybe weighs around 30 to 35 pounds.  He loves people and other dogs. He is doing well with crate training which should be continued in his new home to finish house training. He is very smart and picking it up quickly. He would do best with another dog in the home and an active family with room for him to run. He is doing well with leash training and loves toys. He also likes to fetch but is not a big fan of car rides. This boy just has a goofy, playful and loving temperament.  Buff is neutered, microchipped and current on shots and preventions. If you are interested in visiting or adopting, please submit our application at Richardsonrescue.org. For questions, please email Richardsonrescue@gmail.com.

Story
Socks is 9 months old and weighs 40 pounds and we were told he is a Husky/Shepherd mix. He has a wonderful, gentle temperament even though he is a little shy on first meeting. He is great with other dogs and loves to play with them. We are working with him a a leash and he is picking it up pretty quickly and he will need house training in his new home. He is very smart and picks up new things pretty quickly. He can get over a chain link fence so he needs supervision in the yard or a privacy fence. As long as you are with him or he has other dogs to play with, we have no issues here. After time and training and learning his home, this will calm down. He likes water, toys and is good with car rides. He has also been around children with no issues. He should do well with most any active family. Socks is neutered, microchipped and current on shots and preventions. If you are interested in adopting, please submit our application at Richardsonrescue.org. All visits require an appointment and an approved application.
