Story
I am 60 pounds of sleek, shiny, mostly black awesomeness! Hi! I’m Hobbs. I love to run and play. I also enjoy relaxing on the couch, next to your favorite chair, or by your feet. I’m a good dog with puppy energy. When I get hungry I get anxious and often don’t know what’s wrong. I start to pace and have trouble listening or calming down. A consistent feeding schedule helps keep me at my best. I thrive on routine and relax when things are calm and quiet. I'm very smart and love to learn. General Socialization Notes: I am super smart. Very sensitive too. I learn quickly and am eager to please. I don’t need to be kenneled. I won’t chew your shoes. If I’m really stressed, I might chew up some of my toys. I’ll bring you any squeakers I pull out in exchange for a treat. I’m not good on leash especially around distractions. Rabbits, or rocks that look like rabbits, are too big of distractions for me. I definitely walk better if I’m somewhere they are not. I get really loud in the car at first - too excited. We are working on these things but they have been quite a challenge. Right now I have neighbor dogs that bark at me and jump at my fence. That upsets me. If mom comes out with me, I try to ignore them but sometimes I just can’t do it. I love praise almost as much as treats! I get excited and am protective, but I’m also kind of timid. The wind scares me. Loud noises too. Although fireworks were not too bad last year. I like to go someplace I feel safe or be next to a safe person who reassures me when I’m nervous. The vacuum and I do not get along. The lawnmower is no better. I need to be where they are not when you use them or move them. Does Hobbs like other animals? I’ve been living with 2 older dogs about my size. I would like a home with a dog around my age and size to play with me. I’d be fine as your only dog too if I get lots of attention. No cats or small pets. Certainly no rabbits! Does Hobbs like children? I think I would love children who are not too little. Maybe teenagers or near teens. Someone to play with me. I live with a disabled young man and I have learned how to be very careful and gentle with him. I even let mom know when he needs her. Favorite Toys: I like a variety of toys. A tug toy, something I can shake if you’re not in a tug mood. Stuffed toys don’t last long. Squeaker balls are my favorite. I’ll put them right in your lap so you can toss them across the room for me. That’s my favorite game. I love to leap up and catch them. I’m really very good at it. I’m AMAZING at catching a ball tossed for me and bringing it right back to your lap. I like to play that game a lot! I’ve even learned how to take turns with my foster sister with catch in the house. I’m better at it than she is! I do love a good game of tug. Ideal Forever Home: My ideal forever home is one with a pretty big yard and some indoor floor space to play too. I’d love a dog around my size and age who will play with me. I would also be fine as your only dog. I do like getting all of the attention. A 6 foot privacy fence is a must. My foster mom’s yard is in the back, away from people and dogs walking by. That’s really perfect for me. If you’re looking for a best friend who is smart, sweet, loyal, and playful, I’m your guy!

Story
My current Mom tells me I am a stunning Border Collie/German Shepherd mix with the brains, heart, and energy to match my good looks. I am full of playful energy but already showing the loyalty and intelligence of my working dog breeds. I love snuggling, playing and being joyful. I am also VERY intuitive and I will come to you when you are anxious and upset and will put my paw on you or lay next to you to calm you. I am very good with young children. I do need time meeting new people so I need patience. General Socialization Notes: I would love to train with my humans! I am learning to tolerate loud noises (vacuum) and things that move quickly. Also, I do jump on you when you return home so I'll need to work on that. I'm smart and I am treat motivated! I am a bit unsure with new people so I need time to warm up. Does Milo like other animals? I may do best as an only dog or may do well with a calm dog. Does Milo like children? I do very well with young children. I can be very gentle but I have been known to 'herd' them so I'd need humans that understand that. Favorite Toys: I love steak bones, tug-of-war, chasing small balls around the floor, and my stuffy toys. Ideal Forever Home: I'd do best in a home where my humans are willing to train with me. I'd also love to be in a family that likes adventures. I am a higher energy pup so I need outlets for my energy. I'd be fine as an only dog where I can get all the cuddles and snuggles.

Story
****FOSTER NEEDED!**** I love the outdoors and soaking up the sun! Hey there! I'm Journey, and I'm a happy, energetic dog who loves the outdoors. There's nothing better than lounging in the sun, soaking up the warmth, and chasing squirrels around the yard (they can be tricky!). I'm at my happiest when I'm with my people, and I'd love a home with a big backyard where I can stretch my legs. I may do best in a home as an only dog so I can get all the love. General Socialization Notes: I'm a social pup who enjoys meeting new people! I have a blast playing fetch, tug-of-war with ropes, and hunting for hidden treats in the house! I'm pretty good on my leash, but if I spot another animal, I can get a little excited. I'm well-behaved inside, but when I'm outside, the world can be a bit distracting for me. I'd need a family that is willing to work on that with me. Does Journey like other animals? I think I'd thrive in a home with no other animals, where I can have a big yard to call my own. I am not sure about cats since I haven't met any. Does Journey like children? Yes, I lived in a home with children, older and younger, and did well with them. I was always very gentle. Favorite Toys: I love all toys and especially love playing fetch!! Ideal Forever Home: I'd love a home where I can have a big yard to call my own and plenty of toys to keep me entertained. I'd do best in a home as an only dog. I also want to work on feeling more comfortable when seeing other dogs while I'm out walking. I'm ready to join a family that will love me and take me on lots of adventures!
