Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Sid is a fun guy with big ears and lots of personality. He is very treat motivated and a quick learner. He loves to cuddle and be with his person.  This handsome canine friend has a leash aggression trait, which means that he thrives best in a home where he can be the sole dog. Sid's ideal environment includes a fenced yard, allowing him the space to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors in a secure setting. In his foster home, Sid has shown great compatibility with other dogs. However, it's important to note that when meeting new canine friends while on a leash, Sid might take a bit of time to warm up. Patience is the key with Sid, as he transitions from cautious to comfortable when introduced to other dogs in a controlled manner. Sid's journey has shaped him into a loyal and loving companion, and his unique needs add a layer of charm to his personality. While he may need some time to build trust with other dogs, the rewards of having Sid as part of your family are immeasurable.To apply for adoption visit: https://www.pawfectmatch.org/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 12, 2024, 11:52 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Hi there! I’m Kit, a 4-year-old Husky-Shepherd mix with a zest for life and a brain that just won’t quit. Think of me as the canine version of a multitasking CEO: I’m friendly, loyal, and way too smart to sit around doing nothing. Seriously, I need a job. Herding? Guarding? Personal trainer? You name it, I’m your dog. A little about my past: I was adopted as a puppy, but my first family had a “lifestyle change.” (No hard feelings, humans, but what’s the deal with that?) Anyway, I’m back on the job market and ready to bring my A-game to a forever home. I’m not really into the whole “small kids running wild” scene—it’s nothing personal, but let’s just say I like my space respected. I’m super friendly, though! Whether it’s other dogs or humans who know how to give a good belly rub, I’m all in. My loyalty? Unmatched. My intelligence? Let’s just say I could probably figure out how to set up a Zoom meeting if I had opposable thumbs. So, if you’re looking for a dog who’s not just a pet but a full-on partner in crime, let’s talk. Bonus points if you have something productive for me to do, because I’m not about that couch-potato life.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application ›   Woof! Hey there, I'm Brailey, the wonder-mutt! They say I'm a mix of who-knows-what, a true canine mystery. I'm around 5 years young, and let me tell you, life's been a fetchin' good time! I'm all about spreading the love—I'm as sweet as a pupper can be, and my tail wags like crazy when I see people. Belly rubs? Yes, please! I live for 'em. And let's talk about my talents: I'm a fetch fanatic, a swing enthusiast (yes, swings are for dogs too!), and a professional leash walker. Two miles? Easy peasy. Walking with me is like a stroll through a park of endless scents and wonders. Now, here's the scoop: I've got a touch of anxiety sometimes, but don't worry, I've got meds for those moments when I need 'em. Cages? Nope, not my thing—I prefer to roam free and spread my doggy joy wherever I go. And speaking of homes, my dream family? Someone who's around a lot, because I thrive on companionship and love to share every tail-wagging moment with my pack. So, if you're looking for a furry friend who's part comedian, part cuddlebug, and all heart, look no further. Let's make some memories together, one belly rub and fetch game at a time! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 3, 2025, 6:31 pm

Story
This little guy was a stray that someone else rescued. A friend took him in until she could find him a home, so we decided to give him a shot. He is an extremely sweet, cuddly pup. Our other dog is older and although she tolerates him, they have gotten into some tiffs over food (he is very food motivated and she is very protective over her food). Though neither of them is aggressive and no one has gotten hurt, she is much larger than him and we're afraid she will unintentionally injure him. He is fully house-broken and is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations. Our Vet confirmed he is a pure bred Australian Cattle Dog, specifically Blue Heeler. He loves cuddling on the couch, going for walks and playing outside. He is obsessed with toys - we only buy him indestructible ones, as he likes to chew them and whip them around (which is quite entertaining). We also have cats and he doesn't pay any attention to them. He's been good with our kids as well.

Story
Copper has been with us since she was about a year and a half! Shes now about 7 years old and still has a lot of love and fun in her! As we are preparing to welcome a new baby into our family, we realize we sadly can no longer provide Copper with the attention and care she deserves. Copper is a spirited and lively dog, full of energy and love. She enjoys being outdoors (running, fetch), playtime, and lots of cuddles (very much a velcro baby!). However, as we adjust to the changes and responsibilities that come with our growing family, we find ourselves unable to keep up with her rambunctious nature. We are looking for a home where Copper can thrive with the love and activity she needs. She will bring joy and warmth to a family or individual who can match her enthusiasm and provide her with the time and dedication she deserves. If you have a place in your heart and home for Copper, please reach out. We want to ensure she finds a loving and suitable home for the rest of her days.

Story
Meet Arlo, a ~1 YO fixed male Australian Cattle mix with a heart of gold! He is the perfect mix of couch potato and adventurer! He loves to snuggle on the couch, but is always down for a hike. Mostly he just wants to be by your side! He rides great in the car, is potty trained, walks well on the leash (no pulling!), and is not reactive to other dogs or people. He warms up quickly to new people and environments and settles well in public. He would likely need an introduction to any other animals in the home prior to adoption. He also loves to be outside but is calm and quiet indoors. He has already received his first set of shots, deworming, and is on flea/tick medication. He was heartworm positive at the time of finding him, but is asymptomatic and his chest x-ray is clear. He has already started treatment and will just need consistent heartworm prevention medication every 30 days for the next 10 months (~ $30-40/month).

Story
Theo is a 10 year old Australian Shepard mini we think. He is a protector. He loves to cuddle and go on walks. Apartment life was not for him. We are looking for a good home with a yard he can play around in. He is very cautious with strangers at first and will bark but once he gets to know you he is a cuddler. We are seeking an experienced dog owner.
