Story
Bavaria aka Ari is a small ball of energy with a big heart! She is smart, loyal, and loves everyone person she meets! Her favorite activities include cuddles, walks, and naps with her pup friends. Ari gets along with dogs her size and smaller. She is 42 pounds. It takes her some time to warm up to bigger dogs, but she does have a few large breed friends that she's made while with her foster family. Her foster family runs a doggie daycare and boarding service from their home and while Ari get along with most of the dogs, we think she'd be happiest in a home with only 1 or 2 other pups. Ari hasn't encountered any cats so we don’t know how she will do with feline company. She hasn’t been around kids but based on her temperament we think she would be fine around older respectful kids. Ari is fully crate trained and housebroken. She uses the doggie door and takes her meals in her crate. Ari is VERY food motivated. She'll run into her crate to let you know that she's ready to eat or if she thinks she's about to get a treat. She also LOVES the scent of her human and will bring a stray shoe or sock into her crate. Only one of each though because Ari knows sharing is caring. LOL! She won’t damage the item and will gladly relinquish it without a fight. We have noticed mild resource guarding during meal times around other dogs. Ari will growl if a dog comes close to her bowl but we think it is mostly posturing. She has been learning to relax with that now that she is fostering with several other dogs. She has never demonstrated any sort of resource guarding with people. Video of her manners. https://youtu.be/iMnENrFlSNM Ari has come a long way with leash training and with consistent walks she will continue to improve. She is manageable and does not pull as much. She does well on car rides too. What we love about her is that she will match your energy. If you are sitting around, she’ll sit with you. If you are outside on a stroll, she’ll love that too. Age: 2 years Weight: 42 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and heartworm positive but treatment is paid for and underway. Temperament: dog selective and needs slow intro, good with older respectful kids (no experience with small kids to know). Training, House trained, crate trained, knows commands Sit and Wait. https://youtube.com/shorts/1ovfrWfWztw?si=vxsM7wxgRfE6659j Email for questions: sonaligokhale@yahoo.com To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review.

Story
Are you ready for Dexter to stealthily steal your heart? You’ll love Dexter, a 7-year-old dog who will charm you with his inquisitive gaze and willingness to learn. Despite his age, Dexter is agile and intelligent; his trainer would give him a gold medal in the DoggOlympics! And he's pretty well trained too, check him out here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/DTMYniyrDmJqV4BY/ Dexter gets along well with dogs around his size or bigger and loves to play with toys. Although he hasn't been around cats too often, he has met two and was curious but didn't lunge or chase them. With slow and supervised effort, he would likely get along fine with cats and small dogs. Here's some videos of his dog interactions: https://youtube.com/shorts/s50zqB8XoTs https://youtube.com/shorts/OxRzjbUOVXw Playing in the yard: https://youtu.be/mqxHcfH5Ryc Dexter loves walks and exploring, loves his pool, so his trainer recommends he goes to an active home. He'd also do great with a veteran or senior who still has some pep in their step. When he's not out and about, Dexter enjoys snuggling up on the couch with his humans while watching Netflix. Give this sweetheart a loving home in his elder years, especially this Holiday season. Please foster or adopt Dexter! Age: 7 years Weight: 55 lbs Temperament: good with all adults, and enjoys other dogs his size or larger, should be fine with older respectful kids and cats Vetting: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, heratworm negative Training: House trained, crate trained, knows sit, down, stay/wait, his name, follow, come, look, and touch.

Story
Meet Chai, the pocket-sized ball of sunshine and enthusiasm! This adorable pooch is small but mighty, with a constant grin and a cute little underbite when she is focused. The best part? She's a social butterfly and loves making new friends with humans. She loves strutting her stuff around town, and soaking up all the love and attention she can get. Chai's story is one of perseverance. She was rescued from animal control by a loving owner, but faced discrimination from her condo community. However, thanks to a sponsored training program, she's blossomed into an obedient and clever pup. She's mastered the art of walking on a leash (mostly), but her inner hunter still gets her riled up by squirrels and small speedy critters. She just needs a firm hand to guide her. Spending time with Chai is like taking a shot of pure joy. She's got a spunky personality that's contagious, and her petite frame and cute little legs make her all the more endearing. She's like a cup of chai tea - a sweet treat for those who appreciate her zesty spirit!

Story
Ginger's foster mom wrote to tell us what an amazing dog she is. This is her experience with Ginger. She loves everyone and everything. She loves to curl up and cuddle (she thinks she's a lap dog) and she is the snuggliest pup I have ever met! During the day, she is so relaxed while I do my work, she just curls up next to me or goes to sleep on her bed - just super go with the flow. She's a major velcro dog, and yet does not seem to struggle with separation anxiety. I have been practicing crate training and leaving her alone for short periods of time throughout the day and she does an amazing job, no barking, crying, or destructive behaviors. She was a bit difficult on the leash when I first got her, as she had never been on leash, but I started using a gentle leader harness and it has made a WORLD of a difference and she is super easy on the leash now. We are working on "heel" on the leash but with the gentle leader she barely needs the reminder to heel. However, she would only pull out of excitement since she just wants to say hi to every human and dog we walk past! The world needs to know how amazing of a dog she is! She is just a wonderful, sweet, silly dog who makes the best companion. Age: 2 years. WT: 51lbs. Temperament: Good with all people and dogs. Vetting: Spayed, up to date on vaccines, HW negative Training: House trained, crate trained, knows commands, Sit-stay-shake-down For questions, please email loramyers51@yahoo.com To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review.
