Meet Zito!- not currently viewable, please apply online-Looking for a sweet companion who just needs a little time to come out of his shell? Meet Zito! This handsome Lab mix may be a bit timid or anxious when meeting new people, but once he gets comfortable, his loving personality really starts to shine.Once Zito trusts you, get ready for all the cuddles! He`s a very affectionate boy who loves spending time close to his people and soaking up all the love.Zito has experience living with cats and has done wonderfully with them! He`s also lived with young children, including toddlers under three, and has done great. He`s also good with other dogs, although his play style can be on the rougher side, so he`d do best with canine friends who enjoy a more energetic style of play.One thing to keep in mind is that Zito can experience barrier reactivity, meaning he may react when separated from other dogs by fences, gates, or other barriers. His future family should be prepared to work with him through these situations and help him feel comfortable.Zito is looking for a patient, understanding family who will give him the time and space he needs to settle in. Once you`re part of his trusted circle, you`ll discover just how much love this boy has to give!Could Zito be your new best friend?

Story
Meet Copper!- Not viewable- please apply onlineThis handsome hound mix is a food-motivated fellow who is always ready to work for a tasty treat! Copper is still learning the ropes and would benefit from a patient family who can help him build his confidence and learn his basic manners.Copper is a rambunctious and energetic guy, so he would be best suited to a home with older children who are comfortable around a bigger, enthusiastic dog. He has a strong instinct to chase cats and would do best in a cat-free home. Copper also hasn’t had much regular socialization with other dogs, so any future canine friendships should be introduced slowly and thoughtfully.Copper hasn’t had much experience with regular leash walks, so his new family should be prepared to help him learn this skill from the ground up. With patience, consistency, and plenty of treats, Copper is ready to become a wonderful companion and show you just how much he can learn!Copper will be FTA (Foster-To-Adopt) until his neuter surgery. This means you can take him home in the meantime, bring him back for his surgery date, and finalize the adoption after!

Story
Meet HappyHappy is a big-hearted hound mix with a personality as wonderful as his name! This energetic, curious boy is always ready for his next adventure and loves having the opportunity to explore the world with his nose. Whether he’s following an interesting scent, discovering something new, or simply enjoying time with his people, Happy approaches life with enthusiasm and plenty of houndy charm. True to his hound nature, Happy has a strong prey drive and a nose that can lead him on quite the adventure! His future family will need to understand and respect these instincts while providing him with plenty of exercise, enrichment, structure, and positive training. He’ll thrive with people who enjoy an active lifestyle and want a fun-loving companion to share their adventures with.Happy would do best as the only pet in his home. While he may potentially be able to live with another pet in the future, any introduction would need to be very slow, thoughtful, and carefully managed. He can also be protective of high-value items such as bones, so his family will need to understand how to safely manage these situations and set him up for success. Happy may have a few things to learn, but what he really needs is someone who understands him, appreciates his hound instincts, and sees the wonderful dog underneath them. In return, you’ll get an enthusiastic adventure buddy, a curious explorer, and a whole lot of personality packed into one lovable hound mix.If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you moving, keep you laughing, and remind you to stop and enjoy the world around you, Happy just might be your guy.
