Story
Come meet me at Paw - Adoption fee $450Meet Ted! This middle-aged Lhasa Apso mix may be small, but he has a BIG personality! Ted is social, outgoing, clever, and full of confidence. He knows what he wants, has a bit of a bossy streak, and isn`t afraid to let you know what he thinks!Ted has had a difficult past, but he`s not looking for someone to simply feel sorry for him. He`s looking for someone who understands him and can give him the active, engaging life he needs.This little guy has plenty of drive and a busy mind! He`s not content to just hang out at home all day. Ted wants to learn, play, explore, and be challenged. He`ll thrive with someone who enjoys training, interactive games, and providing plenty of mental stimulation.While Ted is friendly and enjoys being around people, that doesn`t mean he`s immediately comfortable with everything you might want to do with him. A relationship with Ted needs to be built, not rushed. He needs someone who will take the time to earn his trust, respect his boundaries, and help him develop positive associations with handling and everyday interactions.Ted would do best in a home with older children who are mature enough to actively participate in his training, recognize his signals, and respect his personal space.Ted doesn`t need someone to rescue him from his past. He needs someone ready to embrace his personality, invest in his future, and build a lasting friendship with him.If you`re looking for a spirited, intelligent little companion who will keep you on your toes and make you work for his friendship, Ted might just be your guy!

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $450 - Evil plans? More like endless adventures! Meet Dr. Doofenshmirtz, a young, energetic wild child who’s ready to take on whatever the day has in store. This boy is always up for fun, and he’s looking for an active family who can keep up with his enthusiasm for life!Are you the type who loves hiking, camping, exploring new places, or spending hours playing fetch? Then Dr. Doofenshmirtz might just be your perfect sidekick! He wants to be where the action is, and with his seemingly endless energy, you’ll never be short on adventure. Fair warning: he has enough energy to make it feel like you’ve adopted three dogs instead of one!Dr. Doofenshmirtz will need to be the only pet in the household, so he’s looking for a family where he can be the star of the show. Luckily, this guy has plenty of personality to fill the spotlight!Now, let`s talk about food. This clever boy is VERY food motivated and gets seriously excited for mealtime. A slow feeder would be a great addition to his routine to help him slow down and enjoy his meals. The good news? His love of food can be a huge advantage when it comes to training! He`s currently mastered “sit,” but other manners are still a work in progress. He has a bit of a talent for counter surfing, and his leash manners could use some polishing, too. With consistency, patience, and plenty of tasty rewards, he has lots of potential to learn.Along with physical exercise, mental stimulation is a must for Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Puzzle toys, scent games, training sessions, and activities that challenge his clever canine brain will help keep him engaged and give him productive ways to burn off that extra energy.Dr. Doofenshmirtz isn`t looking for a couch potato lifestyle. He wants a person or family who will embrace his adventurous spirit, help him learn his manners, and give him plenty of opportunities to explore the world. In return, you`ll have one enthusiastic companion who`s always ready for the next big thing!If your idea of a perfect day involves fresh air, muddy paws, a game of fetch, and a furry friend who can keep pace with you, Dr. Doofenshmirtz might just be your guy!

Story
Come visit me at PAW! - Adoption fee $450 - Meet Lety, a beautiful medium-sized German Shepherd mix with a gentle heart that`s waiting for the right person to help it shine.Lety is a timid girl who takes time to trust new people and adjust to new surroundings. She`s looking for a patient, dog-savvy family that understands canine body language and will let her settle in at her own pace. She won`t be the kind of dog who feels at home overnight—but if you`re willing to give her the time, understanding, and reassurance she needs, you`ll get to watch an incredible transformation.As Lety`s confidence grows, so does her personality. She becomes playful, energetic, and loves spending time with her people. Nothing makes her happier than zooming through the grass with a squeaky toy in her mouth, enjoying the simple joys of feeling safe and free. With gentle guidance and positive experiences, Lety will continue to build confidence and discover that the world isn`t quite as scary as she once thought.Lety is looking for an animal-free home with older, respectful children who can understand and support her need for patience and space. She`ll thrive with a family that celebrates the small victories, appreciates her sensitive nature, and is committed to helping her become the confident dog she`s meant to be. Lety tends to like to wander off if she can find a way to escape, so keeping her safely secured will be important.If you believe that the best relationships are built on trust, patience, and unconditional love, Lety may just be the perfect companion for you.

Story
Come visit me at PAW!Adoption fee: $450Dakota is a busy-bodied lady who is looking for an active home to meet her energy level. She came in with two other dogs, but as she is dog selective she will need to meet the other dogs in your home before adoption. She will require a home with no cats and we recommend older less-tippable children as she has a penchant for jumping up to lick faces. She is a big time snuggle bug and LOVES to crawl all over people the second they sit down. Think of her as a perfect little shadow who hovers just inside your space at all times. She LOVES to chew and play with toys, so we recommend taking a swing through our boutique for some plushies and squeaky toys. If you have what it takes to keep up with this bundle of energy, then stop by the shelter for a visit. - Dakota is an escape artist and loves to jump or climb right over fences and go exploring on her own. Her new owners will need to make sure she is very secure in her new environment.

If you’re looking for a canine adventure buddy who is always ready to go, Josie might be your girl!Josie knows most of her basic cues, but her brain moves a mile a minute, so sometimes those cues go in one ear and straight out the other! She’s eager to learn, though, and with patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement, she has so much potential.And let`s talk about her springs… because Josie apparently has bounce built into her back legs! This large lady doesn`t quite understand how big or heavy she is and may launch herself at you or onto you with all the enthusiasm of a tiny puppy. Her new family will need to help her learn some manners and appropriate ways to show her excitement.Josie is looking for a home without young children or other animals. She can be very protective of her food and toys around other animals and will not be polite about sharing, so she needs a family who understands resource guarding and is prepared to manage it responsibly.In the right home, Josie will be a fun-loving, energetic companion who is ready to learn, explore, adventure, and soak up all the love she can get. Whether you`re heading out for a walk, exploring somewhere new, or working on her training, Josie is ready to be by your side.Her next chapter is waiting—and this spirited Husky girl is ready to start writing it.
