Story
Meet Canela! This sweet herding breed mix is looking for a breed-savvy adopter to provide above average mental and physical stimulation to keep her a happy camer. Canela’s favorite things are going for walks and playing frisbee. Canela knows “sit”, “shake” and “lie down”. An adopter that will continue bonding with her and learning through positive reinforcement based training will be best to help Canela settle into her new home and continue learning life skills. Canela has met dogs and enjoys playing but can be a bit conflicted behind barriers or on leash. Reactivity is common in dogs and can be managed through environmental set ups as well working with a positive reinforcement behavior consultant. Canela may enjoy a home with a canine companion but any resident dogs should meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. Due to some observed prey drive towards cats and squirrels, a home free of small animals is recommended to set Canela up for success. Due to some breed specific behaviors, Canela is recommended to go to a home with teens or adults only.

Story
WEIGHT: 73lbs.Meet Tony- If you are looking for a big ol' goofball of a dog with giraffe legs and a stand out personality, look no further than our boy Tony. Tony is firmly in his teenage years and it shows. He is very into people and is up for pretty much anything so long as he can bound around and show off. He does well on leash, is good with other dogs, and is a complete gentleman with kids. Tony (who needs a better name, btw) came to us from a partner shelter where he was dropped off as an owner surrender. In his previous home, he was an outside dog, so he is looking for adopters that will bear with him while he learns the house rules. You know, basic things like: counters are not for dogs, please don't spill your water bowl everywhere, trash stays in the trash can etc etc. Shelter staff feel confident that once he gets into a routine with basic positive reinforcement training and learns how to dog, he will be an excellent addition to an active outdoorsy household. Because of his size, history, and the fact that he loves laying out in the sun, a home with an outdoor space would be a bonus. If you would like to come and meet him, feel free to call our adoptions desk or stop by during Browsing Hours: Wed-Sun 11-5.
