Story
**URGENT: Help Thelma and Louise Find Their Forever Home!** Imagine waiting for years, hoping someone will choose you, only to be overlooked time and time again. This is the heartbreaking reality for Thelma and Louise, a bonded mom and pup duo who desperately need a second chance. These girls are absolutely gorgeous and incredibly sweet! Thelma, the loving mama, and Louise, her playful pup, have been through so much together and deserve a forever home where they can finally feel safe and loved. We don't know much about their past since we weren't their original rescue, but we do know they came to us completely emaciated-skin over bones. It took a solid month for them to slowly gain the weight they needed. Despite their struggles, they remained the sweetest girls, showing nothing but love to everyone they met. Thelma is very house trained and super friendly with everybody she meets. Louise, her loyal pup, is slightly shy at first but warms up quickly! They absolutely adore each other and must be adopted together. We will NOT separate them under any circumstances. Sadly, Thelma had a traumatic experience with her previous adopters. They didn't know she was very dog aggressive, and during a walk, she got loose and attacked another dog, losing part of her ear in the process. You can see in the pictures one ear is slightly shorter than the other. Due to this, Thelma cannot live with other dogs except for her beloved Louise. She needs a home with a solid privacy fence and no neighboring dogs. We understand Thelma may sound challenging, but she's actually a wonderful dog! She's been properly muzzle trained and has undergone rehabilitation. She can exist around other dogs and remain calm, but she cannot live with another dog besides Louise. Louise, on the other hand, is not dog aggressive. She's just a sweet, loving pup who wants to be by her mama's side. We are committed to helping any potential adopters meet the criteria needed to create a safe space for Thelma and Louise. If you're willing to open your heart and home to these amazing dogs but are worried about meeting the requirements, Canine Partners is here to assist in any way we can. Thelma and Louise have been waiting for years. They are incredibly sweet, loving dogs who deserve a second chance. Please, help us find them the forever home they so desperately need. They've been through so much, but with your love and patience, they can finally have the life they deserve. Will you be the one to give these beautiful girls their happily ever after? **Contact Canine Partners today to learn more about adopting Thelma and Louise.** ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED FOR BOTH!!!

Story
Meet Thor, the German Shepherd/Husky mix with a personality as big as his name. What does that mean? Independence! This guy's independence runs so deep, he probably has his own Wi-Fi network. Thor loves people, but let's get one thing straight: he's not here to be your pet. He's here to be your partner. If you're an active person looking for a four-legged co-pilot, Thor's your guy. He needs plenty of space to run, but also a fence to keep him from raiding the neighbor's trash like a raccoon with a gym membership. Thor's cool with other dogs but hasn't had a long-term roommate before. He's still learning the subtleties of doggie diplomacy. He needs a laid-back sibling who loves to wrestle and snuggle but won't hold a grudge if Thor accidentally hogs the bed. Stubbornness? Thor's got it in spades, courtesy of his GSD and Husky heritage. He needs a person who understands that bribes, ahem, rewards, work wonders. Thor wants to please you, but only on his terms and timeline. Think of him as a furry negotiation partner. Our staff and trainers have put in countless hours helping Thor shake off his past and embrace his potential. He's now ready to find his forever human, preferably one with breed experience and a high tolerance for doggy independence. Thor is more of a man's dog but will graciously tolerate women if they meet his high standards of belly rubs and treat-giving. Think you're up to the challenge of being Thor's partner in crime? Apply now! Our adoption fee also includes 6-week group obedience class (value $125.) If adopting a puppy underage, we cover spay/neuter at 6 months. If applying for a dog listed as "foster to adopt this simply means you start out as a foster home while their medical situation and/or spay & neuters are being done and then you adopt once complete.

Story
Meet Lupo, the Fabio of the German Shepherd world! With a coat so thick and luxurious, it's prettier than most people's hair. Seriously, Lupo should have his own shampoo commercial. Lupo is a ladies' man through and through, and he's looking for a home where he can be the ultimate protector. He's got that classic German Shepherd vibe - fiercely loyal, super smart, and ready to guard his domain like a knight in shining fur. While Lupo is absolutely beautiful, he does come with some quirks. He takes his time warming up to strangers, so don't be surprised if he gives you the side-eye before deciding you're cool. But once you're in his inner circle, you've got a friend for life. Lupo's former home had him going to doggie daycare twice a week, where he did great with other dogs. But small dogs and cats? Not so much. They just don't vibe with his larger-than-life personality. He's currently working on his manners and learning obedience - and yes, he does have most of his manners down. Lupo needs a home with someone who has experience with German Shepherds and understands his breed's unique quirks. If you're looking for a gorgeous, protective, and typical German Shepherd who's also a total ladies' man, Lupo is your guy! Ready to meet the canine version of a Hollywood heartthrob? Adopt Lupo and let the adventures begin! Our dogs are fully vetted. This includes spay or neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, rabies, microchipped, Heartworm and Lyme tested, worming, flea treatments, Heartworm prevention started and any other medical care needed. Foster to adopt dogs, simply means they live with you while receiving their care. Then you adopt once ready for adoption. Our adoption fee also includes 6-week group obedience class (value $125.) If adopting a puppy under age we cover spay/neuter at 6 months. Paws In Prison dogs will not be ready for their new families until they complete their training program.
