Story
Clyde is a happy, energetic, 7-year-old cattle dog mix who needs a loving new home. He was rescued in 2019 as a puppy, coming from Hardin, MT where he was found. Clyde loves cuddling and affection, loves to play fetch and go on hikes, and is overall a very silly guy (see picture of him "smiling"). While there have been a couple of situational incidents in the past with other dogs, he generally gets on well and loves to play with other dogs, although he does not have much experience with cats. He has been in a single-dog household for most of his life. He loves being outside, no matter the weather or time of year, and would keep running forever if he could. Clyde would do well with a family with outdoor access where he can get the love and activity he craves!

Story
Pookie the pug is a great snuggly companion. We got her about two years ago. Before us, she had been living with an older woman who couldn’t take care of her anymore. Pookie is a great snuggler, wanting to just be near my wife all day while she works from home. A few months ago we got a third dog (all pugs), and she just doesn’t get along great with the new dog. She has gotten a bit territorial with food and she needs to jump in every time the other two dogs try to play with each other. Pookie would do great in a home without other dogs.
