Story
Hi there, I'm Elliot! I'm a two year old German Shepherd/ Pyrenees mix . Look at how handsome I am ! I'm a lively spirit, always ready to play or a brisk walk. My intelligence shines through , I am a smart boy . I just need a person to continue showing me what is expected and make a connection with me . I am a bit shy at first but do warm up after a few days . I am fine with kids ,and my foster home doesn't have cats . Proper introductions would be needed . I love being around my fellow dogs, making friends is my second nature. I just want to play. I've been told I'm a good boy, but I'm waiting for a special person to confirm that. I'm not just a pet, I'm a loyal friend, a confidante, and a source of joy. I promise, with me, every day will be an adventure. Adopt me, let's make some beautiful memories together!Please apply for me by filling out the adoption application.

Story
Name : Jade Age : 12 months old Breed : Shepherd mix Good with dogs : Yes Good with cats : yes Sweet and playful Jade, eager to learn and is coming along in her training. She knows the basics like sit, come, paw, stay, lay down and takes her treats very gently. We are still working on down and leave/drop it. Jade does not like being in the crate and has not shown any destructive behaviours when left alone in the house. Jade loves walks so much that she will take the leash in her mouth and walk herself. She does best when she has some slack while on leash as she enjoys being able to stop and smell the roses. She enjoys playing with her toys and belly rubs but most of all she loves being with her people. She also enjoys car rides!

Story
Hi there, my name is Tango. I am a neutered male about 2-3 yrs old. My life prior to coming into foster care was one of free range. I was spending most of my time living on someone's deck and the rest of the time roaming to community. It was said at this time I got along with dogs, cats and kids alike. Since coming into foster care I have been living the acreage life. I often escaped the fenced half acre but never strayed far and always came back on my own. More recently I have stopped escaping and I am content to play and run with my foster sister Whiskey. Through the cold winter months I slept indoors in a nice warm heated garage but I couldn't figure out how to sleep through the night without pooping in the garage (I did not have access to go out on my own through the night). Now that it has warmed up I prefer to sleep up on the front porch where I have a doghouse and big comfy chair. My foster mom says I would do best continuing to live the acreage life as the outside is most comfortable and familiar to me. She says I am the sweetest good boy. I love pets and being brushed. I seldom to never bark (unless coyotes or other wild life come around). I watch the cats in the catio and try not to bug them. I love playing with my foster sister and I am really just a big love bug. Oh and I enjoy going for walks everyday and I am trying to learn how to not pull. Am I just what you have been looking for? I sure hope so. Please fill out the adoption application if you'd like to meet me!

Name: GeneiveAge: 1 year Size: medium Dogs: yes Cats: adult cats yes Kids: good with babies and kids ?? Hello everyone, I'm Geneive ??I am a very energetic girl who loves to play and is full of fun! I'm still young and I'm still learning new things. I may be a bit shy at first and take some time to warm up to new things . My foster parents work with me and help me become more comfortable and confident. I am fine with other dogs but am totally fine with being by myself as well . I may be a little picky on my treats, but have found some I love . I'm really good in my kennel and I don't bark or whine unless I need to use the bathroom. I am really good at being inside as well and just like to hang out most days and relax . Once I'm outside the energetic side of me comes out and wants to run around and explore. I am very good on my leash and harness and love going for walks or running. I also like to using my husky working talent and pull my foster parent's baby around on her sled. They guide me on how fast I can go and where to go . I enjoy spending time with them. I am also really good in the car . I am learning how to shake a paw and some tricks . Im just the best girl and with time and patience I will continue to impress . If you would like to meet me and see if I am a good fit with your family. Please fill out the adoption application.
