Story
Gatsby is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever & Labrador Retriever mix with a heart as golden as his fur. Rescued just in time from a shelter where he was at risk of euthanasia, Gatsby's past is a mystery—but one thing is clear: he was once someone's beloved companion. His intelligence and well-mannered behavior suggest he received training from an early age. Gatsby is calm, gentle, and incredibly polite. He knows basic commands like sit, shake, and wait and patiently sits for treats without a fuss. He’s not much of a barker and remains composed even in new environments or around strangers. He adores human affection and will melt into your touch, always ready to soak up love and cuddles. While Gatsby is sweet with people, he's more of a solo explorer when it comes to other dogs. He prefers his own company over rowdy playtime and would thrive as the only dog in a home. If another pup challenges him, he may react, so a peaceful, single-dog household would be best for him. This handsome gentleman walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides, and is ready to settle into home life. He may take a little time to adjust to new surroundings, but with patience and love, he will blossom into the loyal, graceful companion he was meant to be. If you understand the loving, devoted nature of Retrievers and are ready to give Gatsby the forever home he deserves, he’ll repay you with endless affection and unwavering loyalty. Gatsby is waiting for a family to love him forever—could it be you?

Story
Piper is a 6-year-old, healthy, loyal, playful, extremely well-trained golden retriever. Piper's favorite things are: 1. Spending time outside - going on new hikes, hanging out at the lake, chasing a ball in the yard, sitting on the porch while being pet. 2. Playing 3. Receiving lots of attention at home. I'm looking for a new home for Piper because my lifestyle has changed, and she will be happier with someone who has a consistently active lifestyle and more time to give her attention. Where Piper will not do well: 1. Being around other dogs. Piper is very nervous around dogs that show too much interest in her. She will do best in a home where she is the only pet, although she has lived with other animals just fine, depending on their temperament. 2. In a home where she does not receive enough attention and walks.

Lily is a 4-year-old, very sweet and lovable dog. She LOVES to play fetch, she loves to eat. I’m looking for someone who can spend time with her, give her lots of walks, and provide playtime at the dog park. It would be great if there was another dog she could play with. She’s great with kids and very friendly.

Riptide is a young male retriever mix with a sense of adventure! He is good on the leash, and is curious but respectful of all the animals at the Funny Farm. Riptide is a medium size, at 34 lbs, but will surely get a bit bigger. This boy loves to romp and roll with doggo friends and would do best with an active family who will go and do with him! With a warm tan/brown coat and a sweet set of brown eyes, Riptide is sure to pull you away from the other dogs and make you his new family!

Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY*** Elphaba is a sweet and snuggly pup who adores attention and will happily soak up all the love you have to give! She’s always up for playtime with her sister but is just as content curling up for a cozy nap—she’s an expert at looking adorable no matter what she’s doing, even while she sleeps. Elphaba has a wonderful heart (as far as her personality is concerned) but her heart must have already done a lot of loving as medically she now has a 4/6 murmur. She hopes that her new family can help her keep track of that. This smart girl is quick to learn and easily started sitting on command (especially when there’s a treat involved!) She’s doing great walking with a harness on a leash and enjoys trying to see how fast she can run. She is well on her way to being crate trained. She’s also learning to sit like a good girl—she’s a smart pup who’s eager to please. She’s enjoyed meeting puppies/dogs of all ages and sizes. She’s warmed the hearts of every person she’s met from toddlers to seniors. She’s even made feline friends! She’s not as fluffy as her sister, but she’s had numerous baths while in her foster home and has hardly shed if at all. Speaking of baths, she is very easy to bathe, and seems to actually enjoy it. Though not sure exactly how big she’ll get, she’s been in her foster home for several weeks and has remained on the petite side. Don’t let her small size fool you, she is the embodiment of “Though she be but little she is Fierce”, she’s a very confident little girl. With her loving nature and eagerness to please, Elphaba is sure to make a wonderful addition to your family. If you’re looking for a playful yet cuddly companion, Elphaba is ready to steal your heart!

Story
, my dog is 8 years old. She has really bad separation anxiety, so she needs someone who's home all the time. She has a weak bladder, so someone with a yard is also best. She's a sweetheart and she loves to cuddle and loves to give kisses. She will follow you around the house if you allow her to. She is leash trained, but if she sees another dog, she might bark.

Notes from her foster: Holly is doing fairly well, given her age. She is eating decently (we`ve moved to mixing lean turkey with crushed kibble) and still had some spark left- she loves being chased! She`s even doing well with Bug, the cat.
