Story
Sweet, mellow tempered dog who loves to play. She will play rough with other dogs but is not aggressive. Loves to run. She loves cuddles and will want to sleep on your bed with you. If you don't have round handles on your doors you will need something to keep your bedroom door shut, otherwise she opens the door, pulls back your blanket and sheets and will sleep on your pillows. Responsive to her name, nicknames, commands, and cues. She understands not to pass the yellow grids on the sidewalk and will go when you say "cross" and stop at "wait". She pulls the leash but has gotten better. I have little time for her, which has caused her to take special interest in the sliding glass door where she'll bark at neighbors passing by. When we go on our daily walk she has a lot of energy, so she pulls, wants to smell everything, and does zoomies in the small dog park. I would like for her to have a yard to play in. She's not sensitive to the cold, but will need coconut oil for her dry skin.

Story
Rooster is a beautiful, sweet, and such a loveable boy. He has been at our shelter for over 368 days! Rooster is very outgoing and loves everyone he meets, he is always smiling and ready for a new adventure at any given moment. Rooster has not received much interest while he's been here and we have no idea why! He is such an adorable dog and so hopeful that his people are coming to take him home every day he's here. Can you make his wish come true and bring this wonderful dog home with you today?!

Story
Charlee is one of our longest term residents. She is the sweetest dog once she gets to know you. Charlee is so desperate for someone to love, that she sometimes reacts in ways that turn off potential adopters, usually this is from her showing protective behavior of who she has chosen as her person. Charlee will sometimes bark at others while on a leash, she is such a sweet and special girl though. In her mind, it is up to her to protect those she loves, and unfortunately, so far, this is not a behavior that has been appreciated by potential adopters. Charlee has been adopted twice so far, but brought back each time after just a couple of days. This is not a long enough time for any dog to adjust to a new environment. Charlee needs someone patient, and caring, who appreciates what a loyal, and special dog that she is. Charlee just needs a REAL chance to prove she is worthy of finding her special someone, so she never has to come back to the shelter. Come and spend some time with her, so she can show you why we here at CHS love her so much! Charlee's adoption fee is sponsored, so all it takes is $25 to take her home!
