Freya is 4 years old and very energetic. She was a rescue dog and can be very protective and high alert. She tends to be more trusting and affectionate towards men. She needs someone who can take her on long walks or has a nice large yard for her to run and play. She tends to be apprehensive of strangers and takes some time to warm up to new people. Would be most suited with someone without kids or other dogs in the home.

Story
Introducing, PEACHES! 🍑🧡 🍑🧡🍑 This adorable little girl is ready to find her furever family! 🐾 Peaches is a 15lb, 3 year old Aussie Mix. She is a high-energy pup that requires physical and mental stimulation ⚡️ While she’ll play fetch for hours, she LOVES going on long walks, working for treats via puzzle toys, and chewing bones to give her brain stimulation. Peaches is a brave hiking friend 🥾 a loyal roadtrip companion 🚗 and an even bigger snuggle buddy💕While she’s not a wholehearted lap dog, she enjoys cozying up right next to someone on the couch, in the bed, on the floor, etc. Her happy place is wherever you are🩷 If you get tired of giving her belly rubs, she might hit you with her paws to remind you to keep going. If that doesn’t work, she might try to kill you with kisses💋 Peaches is crate-trained and sleeps through the night with no issues. She is programmed to wake up at 7am, but is happy to eat breakfast and go back to bed after going potty. 💤 She eats her meals in her crate, and enjoys napping in it when her people leave to run errands. When left unattended for long periods of time, she tends to get anxious, bored, and finds unproductive ways to occupy her mind. Bones and other chew toys have been a great way to curb these behaviors, as well as utilizing her crate! Peaches is potty trained and knows how to sit, lay down, and use a doggy door. She gets along with dogs, cats, and young children! Peaches can be a bit shy at first, but quickly becomes a Velcro dog when she feels safe🥰 Peaches ideal home would include another k9 companion (or 2) and active, loving humans! Peaches is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on shots. Her adoption fee is $300 🐾 please submit an application if you are interested in meeting this ridiculously adorable gal! https://dooverdogs.com/multi-step-adoption-form-1/

Hi! I am Pearl and I can't wait to meet you! My foster parents tell me that I do very well in the crate and that they are impressed with my naptime and ability to sleep through the night. I never even cry when I go into my crate. I am still getting the hang of potty training but I am proving to be a very quick learner! I love to snuggle and hang and explore!!    ##1981538##

Paisley is a sweet, cuddly little puppy with the coolest tiger markings.  She is a little braver than her sister and loves to snuggle up to her foster family for pets and patty-cake. She’s a little more reserved around her large doggy foster siblings but loves to wrestle and play with her sister.  Paisley has been working hard on her potty training and sleeping in the crate at night. Training should go well with the right treats. Paisley is a one of a kind pup that would make a great addition to the family. Come meet her this weekend!  ##1981540##

Story
Hi! My name is Patches and I am a sweet little baby through and through. I can give you all of the puppy love and cuddles you need to forget life’s troubles! It took me a few days to come out of my shell, but now that I feel comfortable in my foster home, I am very playful and affectionate. Work from home? Great! I am a pro at self-play and will entertain myself until I’m ready to take a nap at your feet. I love all kinds of toys, but tennis balls are definitely my favorite. I am super gentle and once I know you, you couldn’t find a better snuggle buddy. I love my senior foster brother and he is really helping me learn how to be on my best behavior. I am still working on crate training and don’t really like being in there during the day, it will take some getting used to. While I would love to cuddle with you all night, I am fine with sleeping in my crate overnight. I love a good treat and I can sit on command already! I am still learning that the world doesn’t have to be a scary place, so please be patient with me. The perfect combination of sweet and spunky, I really just want to be loved and to feel safe!! ##1981542##
