Keats
HI. My Name is Keats
I am a sweet boy that loves to get affection. At only 25 pounds, I am the perfect size when it comes to smaller dogs. I try to keep my kennel clean and will probably get the idea of house training with a quick refresher course in your home. I am good with kids and other dogs and I love car rides. A real lap dog. All I need is a family that is ready to love me and make me a part of their brood. If you are looking for a low maintenance, lounge around type of dog, I am just the ticket for you!

Ryan
HI. MY NAME IS RYAN.
I am a handsome young fellow that is full of energy. I arrived at the shelter with a companion dog named Johanna after we were spotted running around the neighborhood for a while. I was wearing a collar and I was a bit underweight but no one ever claimed me. I have a sweet personality and I like to please my human friends. Because I like to be active I would like to have a family that also likes lots of activity. I haven’t had any training yet so my new family will have to show me the ways of the world. It’s a great way for us to bond together. Do I sound like the type of dog you are searching for?

Kareem
Hello - My name is Kareem
Hi there – I’m Kareem and I’m a sweet and loving boy who has come a long way since entering the Shelter. The Shelter staff has helped me become a loving dog who is very people oriented. I also love most other dogs. Somewhere in my youth (I’m 5 now), I lost an eye but that doesn’t hold me back a bit. I am praised for keeping such a clean kennel so no doubt house training will be easy. One of my favorite things to do is be the co-pilot in your car and I will enjoy all of our shared adventures. I am now ready for my forever home and look forward to meeting you. Please call and make an appointment to come visit with me – I will make you a happy companion.

Stitch
I am a sweet affectionate boy with a happy go lucky attitude. I want my very own human to love and play with me. I will do best in a fenced yard as I’m very curious about other small animals. I have mastered the sit command and I listen quite well. I don’t think I’m ready to be around small children or cats. I mainly want my forever human. I have demonstrated ‘house-broken’ behavior and I am so anxious to please and be your best friend. You need to come meet me and let me steal your heart – I’m confident it won’t take long.

I like quiet older kids and older, settled dogs but am perfectly happy to be your one and only. I promise to bring joy into your life as a senior canine and you will never regret this adoption. Please come visit me.

Polar
Hey friends. My name is Polar and I am searching for my forever home. I am very shy with people. My owner needs to have dog experience and preferably owns a beloved canine who will be my buddy. I’ll be as submissive as necessary as I’m ok with not being “top dog” as long as I have a nice home with humans who love me. I do need a fenced yard and hope that won’t be a problem. Please come meet me and bring your dog with you so we can do a meet and greet and you will see what a great addition I will be to your family.

Darren
I go by Darren and I am such a sweet boy, just a little on the large side and can throw my weight around so I will need someone strong and determined to handle me. I’m only partially Mastiff, but I think I got the good Mastiff genes. I did test heart-worm positive but I’m already in treatment and only have a short time left. I’m also getting altered in mid-June so I should be healthy and neutered by the time you take me home. My face says it all – I am super affectionate and don’t have a mean bone in my body. The shelter staff characterize me as “kennel broken” so I suspect I’ll be house broken with minimum coaching. Please come meet me and make me your forever dog as I’m just not going to be satisfied until I have “owner love”.

Description:
CHECK OUT MY VIDEO TO SEE ME TRAINING! I am happy, energetic and love people. I recently met the ‘dog trainer’ and she is teaching me to walk on a lead. I already mastered sit and wait and I’m anxious to learn so much more. I like to please and really need someone who can spend time with me providing lots of exercise, love, and behavior training. So far, I’m not ready for other dogs, and small animals (like cats) need to keep their distance. I’m sure I’ll love kids once I get older but for now my trainer says I am a little too rough. The perfect fit for me would be if I could be the only dog, have a fenced yard to romp and play, and have owners who will commit the time to teach me best behaviors. I’m very affectionate, I just need to learn a little discipline. With the right attention and training, I will become the perfect companion. Please come see me!
