Story
Meet Marshall!Marshall is a sweet and spirited 1-year-old, 41-pound neutered pup with a big heart and lots of youthful energy. He is very people-focused and loves attention, affection, and being involved in whatever his family is doing.He is house-trained, very attentive, and already knows how to sit. Marshall is still working on his leash manners, but he is eager to learn and responds well to gentle redirection. He is smart, social, and enjoys having things to do throughout the day.Marshall loves toys, outdoor time, and interactive play. He can get excited easily, especially when he’s having fun or meeting new people, so he will do best with a family that can continue guiding him on calm manners and giving him positive outlets for his energy.He is a social dog who enjoys being around people and has lived with other dogs. Because he can play a little rough at times, he would do best with a dog who matches his style or as the primary dog in the home. He has not been around cats.Marshall is a fun, affectionate young dog who is still learning and growing into his best self. With continued guidance, structure, and love, he will make a loyal and joyful companion who brings a lot of personality and happiness to his home.Marshall is currently in foster care outside of the shelter.

Story
Hello, friends! My name is Peppermint Patty and I`m one of a litter of four puppies who`s looking for a FOREVER home! My siblings and I were brought to the shelter through no fault of our own. You see, we were dumped at a house out in the country. Now we are all in need of some extra TLC to help us grow up strong and healthy. We are friendly puppies who love playing together, and we get along with everyone! I`m an inside companion, but I would really enjoy a fenced-in yard for playtime, as well as a comfy bed and some fun toys! Keep in mind that puppies are a lot of work, so we will need lots of patience and understanding, as we navigate puppyhood. But I`m worth it--I promise! I am ready to go home today as I have already been spayed, microchipped and vaccinated.
