Story
Dog Day Out, 7/27/24:Rocky was great today. He is a super friendly and sweet dog. I had initially wanted to see how he would do in a more relaxed environment instead of just taking him on a hike. Let me start by saying that Rocky is one of the sweetest dogs I`ve been around. He`s super relaxed once we gets to know you and you`ll notice a demeanor change once he`s warmed up to you! He`s a huge snuggle bug and was perfectly content with laying on my wood floor while I laid on the sofa. We had some lunch and Rocky did not beg and went to lay down, not paying much mind to the food we had. He is super sweet and he walks okay on the leash but there`s room for improvement. I would adopt this dog if my family member was not allergic. He is great! Foster notes, 6/1/24:Rocky is such a sweet pup! It definitely took him some time to come out of his shell and warm up to everyone. It took him longer to get comfortable with my husband than myself. He has been great with our 3 and 6 year old kids--he`s not bothered by them at all. A weird thing we learned is that he can walk UP stairs, but he is afraid to walk back DOWN them... It`s possible that this is because our stairs are narrow and hardwood, but he wouldn`t go near them and eventually had to be carried down. He`s very laid back about eating--just sort of grazes and has no food aggression. He lets you know when he needs to go out to potty. Mostly he follows me from room to room and just lays near wherever I am. He doesn`t bark at all, is very relaxed, but always seems down for an outing! At first, he didn`t seem to know any commands or even respond very well to his name. But once he got more comfortable and I got some treats, he seemed to know the drill. I haven`t tried to do too many commands, but we are going to keep working on it. He walks well on a leash. He doesn`t pull at all, but I don`t think he has a lot of practice with it because he doesn`t have leash awareness--he walks on the opposite side of poles or wraps himself or others up, etc. We have just been doing a once a day around the block walk and will hopefully get better. We left him home alone for just an hour and a half so far and he did fine. He wasn`t happy about us leaving, but didn`t bark or whine. When we got back, he was laying right by the door and nothing was chewed and no accidents. He REALLY doesn`t seem to like water. We wanted to give him a bath and he was not having it, lol!Foster notes, 4/30/24:Rocky is

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bixby is a wonderfully sweet boy.  He loves being an inside dog, he is for sure a lap dog.  He loves all people and all dogs, he seems to prefer female dogs his size or smaller, he was a little uncertain around his Newfoundland foster brother, who is enormous compared this compact boy, but is finding his confidence around him. Bixby is great with kids, however, due to his young age, any kids in the home should be at least 6 years old.   He will do best in a home with at least another canine companion, preferably a female to help burn off energy.  If his adopter is very active then he'd do very well in that environment without a canine companion.   Bixby has a lot of energy, so he will require a fenced yard, physical fencing attached to the home, no underground fencing, so he will be safe getting his energy out.  He loves playing fetch and rough housing with one of his foster sisters.  He settles excellently inside the home once all energy is used up.  Bixby has been neutered, microchipped and is update to date on all vaccines and preventatives.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 15, 2025, 1:10 pm

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.

Story
We got Mikasa as a puppy from a breeder, she just turned 4 years old. When we got her, we had one older child but then had a newborn a little over a year after bringing her home. She is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever been around, but has a LOT of energy. We couldn’t keep her inside anymore because of the baby. We have a very small backyard and Mikasa quickly outgrew it. She needs a larger space to roam and run! We have another Aussie older than her (they get along great) who is experiencing some arthritis issues and needs to be inside more. We don’t think it’s fair to them both to have one in and one out. This isn’t something we want to do but we do need to…it will be a very sad day for our family when and if she leaves, but we’ll be happy knowing she’s going to go to another loving family.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Adora is adorable! We are not exactly sure what her mix is. Mom somewhat resembles an Aussie mix. But it's also entirely possible there's some catahoula leopard dog in the mix as well. Whatever she is, she is 100% amazing. She has stunning blue eyes. We believe Adora is also deaf or partially deaf. This doesn't make her any less adoptable. She may also have some vision issues but she is not blind. We took her to an animal eye care vet and she confirmed that Adora can see. It's recommended that she go back at 4 months just to make sure there's no vision concerns.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 14, 2025, 11:49 pm
