Today has been such an exciting day for me. My shelter friends just took me to be fixed and now that I’m back at the shelter, they told me I can go home with you and be your forever best friend. I’m just incredibly happy. I have lots of love to give and am anxious to please you and be your constant companion. I love to play fetch and I will bring the ball back (most of the time) so we can keep playing the game over and over. The dog trainer here has already taught me to sit and I’m working very hard on the stay command. I just love to run and play with other dogs and catch a Frisbee. I do really well in a car and so far, I have liked everyone I have met, so I must be a real “people dog”. Can you keep a secret? I was told that once my picture gets out and people see how friendly and loving I am, I won’t last long in this shelter - not that this is a bad place, I just want to get settled in my forever home. Please come visit me and take me home!!!!!

I have tons of energy and am very bright. I definitely want to be around you – I’ll even participate in the conversation if you allow. I am very comfortable in a crate – my shelter friends didn’t even know I was crate trained until they left me alone in the lobby one day and I got in an empty crate in the manager’s office. I made myself at home and was very comfortable. I’m affectionate, give kisses, know how to “sit” and give my paw. I walk well on a lead. I will benefit from training as I need to learn manners and good behavior but since I’m smart, I should learn pretty fast. I am dog selective – I like the girl canines but not so much the male dogs. Maybe it’s the competition although I’m newly altered so we’ll see if my behavior changes, although I doubt it since I’ve always had an eye for the ladies!

Description:
I am very affectionate although still a little shy. I am still young but will probably not get much larger. I really like a clean kennel and try to wait for volunteers to take me out to do my business. I am a gentle soul with no aggression. I do look forward to personal training. I need help learning that loud noises are ok most of the time. I get along well with other dogs and really look forward to my forever home.

Description:
I love hanging out with People – I’m a little more selective with my doggie friends, especially when they are all vying for attention by barking, jumping, whining – you know the type. And those little snappy dogs just don’t appeal to me much. I have made a couple of good dog friends at the Shelter, although I prefer humans. I really didn’t want to come here but now I’ve met all kinds of cool folks and I just know one of them is going to take me to my forever home. I sure hope the one who picks me has a great big comfy sofa as I seem to be what some call a “couch potato”. Take me home with you and let me curl up with you while you read a good book and I just enjoy your warmth and love.

Description:
I am a happy girl who loves to play. I am really good with other dogs as long as I get to be the dominant queen – actually, I’m a good teacher of other dogs as I help them remember their manners. I am cautious of strangers and need to warm up to humans I don’t know. Just give me time as once I know you are trustworthy, I will quickly demonstrate my love for you. I am anxious for my forever home and hope you come to see me and take me home with you.

Isla
Description:
I am such a fun, even-tempered, free-spirited girl who never has a bad day. Life is glorious and I love just being here and experiencing new adventures. Sometimes those adventures have gotten me in trouble as apparently digging under fences is not something humans think is a good idea. I’m only 2 years old so with a little training I will be the perfect companion. I like other dogs and humans and really look forward to meeting you and finding my permanent home. Please come visit!!
