Story
Drew has been with me since Thanksgiving when she, her littermates, and her mom were all pulled off the e-list at a shelter. Now mom and all of her siblings have gone to their forever homes. Drew is still waiting, but while she waits she learns lots of things and spends her time playing and loving life. She is a happy pup who loves exploring, playing with her dog friends, napping on the couch, and splashing in water. She walks on a loose leash in her harness, is potty trained, crate trained, and leaves the cats alone inside. She also is around horses, donkeys, pigs, and goats without issue. She loves affection but is able to be independent as well. Drew is a high energy girl who is looking for an active family to have adventures with. She would love long sniffy walks and hikes in fun places. Drew also comes with enrollment to a virtual training program and community. She would love to meet you today!

Story
Hi I'm Tin Man! I'm part of The Munchkin Litter that arrived right after Christmas with our surrogate mom from the shelter. My siblings and I were found by an animal control officer all alone, so they took us to a shelter in Lancaster where the staff said we had 24 hours. I'm not sure what they meant by that, but fortunately for us a nursing mom was surrendered the next day with no puppies, and the staff said, "maybe she'll adopt them." And she did. Then our nice foster mom took us with her all the way to Arizona. Now I've been looking for my forever family. I'm a pretty chill guy who likes to play outside with my dog friends. I also love love love the water and exploring trails on sniffy walks. But I also love napping on the couch or a dog bed. A snuggle is perfect. I get along with my cat friends inside too, but they don't want to play. I also know about horses, donkeys, goats, and pigs! I know they also don't want to be friends! I am shy meeting new people. I bark and hide, but eventually if you're patient I warm up and am full of love. I'm great in public and completely non-reactive. I ride well in the car, am potty trained, crate trained, walk on a loose leash in my harness, and I come with enrollment to a virtual puppy and teen pup training program. I also come with lifetime training support! I'd love to meet my new forever family, is it you?

Story
Hi I'm Munchkin! I'm looking for a fun family that likes to snuggle and play. It would be super cool if they got me a kiddie pool because I love playing in the water. I'm really good in the house too. I'm potty trained, crate trained, and I love to cuddle up and nap. I also like going on walks, and I walk really well on a loose leash in my harness. I play nicely with other dogs and leave the cats alone. I also don't bother horses, donkeys, goats, or pigs! They don't really want to be friends. I haven't met a lot of young kids, but when I have I let them pet me nicely. I'm really good on adventures but get a little nervous in the car still. We are working on that. I've been with my foster family since December when me, the rest of the Munchkin Litter, and our surrogate mom came from the shelter. We were an orphan litter found by animal control who put us with our surrogate mom because she didn't have her babies when she got surrendered. Then they put all of us on the e-list (what is an e-list?) but our foster mom said, "nope! You're coming home with me." And so we did, all the way from California. We spend a lot of time working on manners and being confident and happy dogs. And we all come with enrollment to a virtual training program so our new families can continue to be successful. I also come with lifetime training support for my new family. I hope to meet you soon!

Story
Hi I'm Samantha! Do you even know a Samantha? You could! I've been spending my time in my foster home learning all kinds of cool things like crate training, loose leash walking, going to the mall, and playing with my dog friends. It's been pretty neat, but I'm ready for my forever family. I have been very respectful to my livestock friends, and even to my cat friends. They don't actually want to be friends, but that's okay. I do need patient and tolerant dog friends because I'm a little overexuberant with my play style. I'm a little shy meeting new people, but I will warm up with some patience. And probably treats. Make sure to bring some to our meet & greet! See ya soon!
