Story
Meet Blue! This sweet boy enjoys leaning into pets and settling down near his people when he’s ready to relax. Blue is treat-motivated and already knows “sit,” though he can be a bit of a treat shark, so he may need some practice taking treats gently. He also shows interest in toys and enjoys engaging in play. Since Blue came to us as a stray, his history with children and other animals is unknown, so slow and thoughtful introductions are recommended.

Story
Meet Pinto Bean! This shy boy loves treats, toys, and snuggling up with his people once he knows you. He is crate trained, leash trained, rides well in the car, and is still working on potty training. Pinto Bean has only lived with his littermates and parents, he has shown significant discomfort when meeting an unfamiliar dog. Because of this, he is looking for a home where he can be the only dog. He can also be fearful of new people and loud noises but warms up more quickly with the help of tasty treats. Since he has never lived with children and can be quite fearful, he is looking for a mature, patient home. Pinto Bean can be an escape artist, so supervision around doors and when outside will be important.

Story
Meet Daisy! This sweet, friendly, energetic pup loves attention and is always ready to play! She has lived with a cat and another dog and will try and engage them in play. Daisy may benefit from having a well-matched canine companion to play with in her new home. She can be a little unsure when strangers approach her quickly but warms up with a slow introduction. Daisy is still working on potty training and struggles with anxiety when left alone. She will need patient adopters who can help her build confidence with positive-based crate training and gradually teach her that being alone is okay. Daily physical exercise, mental enrichment, and continued training will be especially important to help this energetic girl thrive.
