Salazar is an active and playful mixed breed dog who arrived at CHA through our rescue partnership with Gigi's Shelter. While at CHA, Salazar has enjoyed participating in doggy playgroups often and has a play style that can be called 'rough and rowdy'. This young guy loves running and wrestling with his dog friends in the large shelter play yard and then heading inside for a delicious frozen kong. Salazar would love to go home with an active family, could it be you?

Story
Thunder is a handsome wiggly boy with lots of energy and an affinity for cuddles! He has enjoyed playgroups with other high-energy dogs and would likely do well with another social dog. He also really enjoys his toys and playing fetch with a tennis ball. Thunder already knows how to sit and come and would benefit from rewards-based training to increase his skills. He is treat motivated and eager to learn. Due to his high-energy greetings, he will do best in a home with older children. Thunder arrived at the shelter underweight and currently weighs 44lbs, but is a medium-size dog and will likely weigh 50-55lbs at his healthiest. Come meet this sweet, snuggly, bouncy 2 year old and let him wiggle his way right into your heart!

Barrett and his ears would love to meet you. This big, hunk of love is seeking an active family to go on adventures with. While he is still working on his basic manners and loose-leash walking skills, he is treat motivated and seems to enjoy engaging with his people for training activities. Barrett is a strong boy yet loves to snuggle even if it means draping his entire body on hispeople to let them know he's a just a "little lap dog". When meeting other dogs, Barrett becomes excited andwants to rush in to say Hi. Provided the other dog is also social and playful, Barrett is quick to pop into play. He will likely do best with other big, social-rowdy playful dogs to match his style. Barrett is a large sized mixed breed, approximately 2 years young and currently weighs 71 pounds
