Story
Hi there! I`m Sandy, and I`m all about tug of war—it`s my absolute favorite game! Fetch? Not so much. I don’t really get the appeal, but if you`re in the mood for some playtime, I’m always down for a good tug.I’m a big fan of cuddles and pets, so if you’re offering, I’ll happily come over and ask for some love. I won’t jump on the furniture unless you invite me, though, I’m a polite pup like that. But when I get excited, I do like to run around—catch me if you can!Sometimes, I might try to jump at people or other dogs. I’m not quite sure why I do it with some and not others, but don’t worry, I usually listen when you tell me to calm down. I know most of the basics and obey commands about 90% of the time. If I get a little too excited, though, I might have trouble staying still, but I usually do well with short, stern commands. I really love my harness, by the way. I can’t wait to put it on, but I absolutely *hate* when it’s time to take it off. Belly rubs? Oh yes, please! Who doesn’t love a good belly rub?If you ever want to relax, I’m always happy when you lay down with me—nothing beats a cozy snuggle. And when it comes to other dogs, I seemed perfectly fine living with one. I’m easygoing, love a good play, and love being loved.

Story
Hi there! I’m Serenity, and I’m a 12-year-old pup looking for my forever home. I’m a pretty laid-back girl with a sweet and nonchalant personality. I’ve been in a foster home and so far, I’ve been a dream! I’m housebroken (no accidents at all!) and take care of business really quickly when I go outside. I’m also crate-trained and sleep in my crate at night, or whenever my foster family needs to leave the house, and I’m totally quiet about it.I get along great with my foster dog sibling—we did slow introductions and now we’re good pals. I’m a low to medium-energy kind of pup. I love going for walks (they’re one of my favorite things!) and then curling up for a nap afterward. I’m happy and content, and I’ll happily follow you around the yard off-leash while I explore and enjoy my surroundings. On walks, I’m great on the leash and always try to be polite.I’m a smart girl who knows the basics—like sit and stay—and I pick up new tricks quickly. I’m also super affectionate and love getting pets and cuddles. If you’re looking for a calm, easygoing companion who’ll enjoy casual walks and cuddle sessions, I might just be the perfect match! All I need is a loving home to call my own.

Story
Hey there! I`m Sol, and I recently went on an adventure with a super fun volunteer. We had an awesome time hanging out at home, playing, and even went hiking! I got to see some new sights and smells. We also went for a drive, which was pretty fun too. When it comes to potty time, I`m a good listener—I always go outside like I`m supposed to. While on our adventure, I got to meet some new people, and I couldn`t help but be my friendly self! I was all wiggly with excitement, wagging my tail and happily approaching them for some pets. Same goes for meeting some kids—I was super gentle and soft with them, and I loved getting attention.I love attention, but I’m not really a fan of sharing the spotlight with other dogs—I`m happiest being the only dog in the house. I’m totally cool with cats, though, so if you’ve got one, I’m down for that.I’ve got a lot of energy to burn! I could play all day long if you’d let me—so I’d definitely love an adopter who’s ready for some active fun and adventure. I’m always up for a game of fetch, a good hike, or a run around the yard. If you’re looking for a playful, friendly, and energetic buddy, I might be the perfect fit! Just make sure you’ve got plenty of time to keep up with me! I qualify for Foster First, which means you can foster me for 14 days prior to adoption to ensure I’m the perfect fit for your family!

Hi! I’m Lewis! I’m a retriever hound mixed boy around a year old. I’m super shy when you first meet me, but I promise if you give me a chance I’ll come around! I’m obsessed with kids of all ages, I’m dog friendly, and I did well in my cat test! I’m more scared of them then anything else! I am not fully house or crated trained, but my rescuers say they know I will learn it quickly. I do look to other dogs for confidence and help, so a home with another furry friend like me would be great! I’m fully vetted and finally ready to have my forever pack family. Please give me a chance to shine in your home! I promise I am worth it! If you’re interested in meeting me please email pawprintpackinc@gmail.com!

Story
    Hey everyone, my name is Tibia, aka “the Golden Child.” My momma was a chocolate lab and my daddy was a golden retriever/black lab retriever (he was on the smaller side). I'm the "golden" child because all of my siblings are black ;-)  I'm about to turn a year old soon, and I'd love to celebrate by having a home of my own.  I haven't had a lot of exposure to the outdoor world and all that it has to offer. Sometimes, it feels scary But I'm eager to explore and to learn. I can be an only child or I could have playmates, but fommy says no little dogs or cats because I don't know how to play properly with them and sometimes when we're in a big yard I think they're a squirrel instead of a little dog. It was an honest mistake, right? ;-) I didn't hurt the little guy, but I sure scared him and his mommy. So we'll stick with bigger dogs for me.   I'm working on crate training and doing very well, and I’m doing really great with my collar and leash because I never even knew those things existed until a couple weeks ago. But I sure am enjoying learning all these new things about the world.   Snuggling and supervising you do the laundry are just two of my favorite things. I'm a super quick learner, and I love to be outdoors with my person. So, I think I'd make a great running partner. Right now I'm barely 40lbs, but I should get to be about 50/55lbs max.   Well, if you've gotten this far in my autobiography then you must be captured. So click on the application form and come and meet me. You won't regret it, I promise!       An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions.

Story
    Meet Mandible, an adorable, 10-month-old, Lab/Golden Retriever mix with a gentle spirit and so much love to share! She’s a true Velcro dog who loves being close to her person and would thrive in a home where she gets plenty of companionship.    Mandible weighs 27 pounds and will likely end up around 35 pounds, making her the perfect “pocket Lab” size! She’s nearly potty trained and eager to please, making her a great candidate for continued training.    Mandible would do best in a home where she’s not left alone for long periods, as she loves being part of the action! She’d be very happy in a home with kids and/or other dogs (she’s a lady with everyone), but truth be told, she’ll likely give her whole heart to her one favorite person.    She didn’t get to experience much of life in her first home so everything seems a bit new right now, but she’s gaining confidence every day. She’s so excited to have a chance to enjoy living life WITH her new family!    If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Mandible is the perfect pup for you!   An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions.

Story
We’ve had Pete since he was a puppy. He was the runt of the litter and completely deaf though we didn’t know it at the time. He has been a great family dog, but we moved recently and changed jobs so that we have a lot less time to spend with him taking on walks, to the dog park, etc. We’re looking for a new home for him that will allow him to be more active.
