Dogs for Adoption

There's lots of little munchkins who are searching for their forever home. So we thought we'd highlight some of the ones who are still seeking thier forever home.

Jupiter:
He's a 4-5 month old Border Collie-Lab mix who stole the hearts of all the volunteers as soon as they met him. He's high energy and would make an excellent companion to go on hikes, bike riding, jogging, playing with toys, going to the dog park. He currently lives in a foster home where is he crate trained, doggy door trained, learning sit and stay, lives with kids who are dog savvy as he is very puppy like and will jump or grab you to get your attention. In his foster home with a stern foster mom who enjoys his playful nature but also is teaching him how not to jump, how to sit patiently and to wait. He is incredibly trainable and loveable.

Tucker:





Tucker is a 3-4 year old Shih Tzu. He is full of personality and character. Most of our regulars at adoptions make a bee-line for him and can't wait to greet him. He has a friendly spunky outgoing personality. We like to say he "purrs" because he has this low grumble which isn't a grumble or a growl but is most definitely his way of communicating his greeting. He would rather die than try to snap at someone. He's very typically Shih Tzu in that sense. He's definitely a lap dog as well. He gets along with dogs, cats and older kids.

Though you might not be able to tell, he is missing an eye. As a puppy he was left in a backyard with a Shepherd who probably played too hard and his eye became a casualty. He spent the next 3-4 years in that backyard until he was advertised as needing a new home and we agreed to take him in and not only introduce him to the inside of the house (also promised he never has to live outside again!) but got him groomed and all ready for his new home!

Mousey:

If you're looking for character and personality then look no further. Want a lap dog or a purse dog? Yup, she's it. Mousey can play with the "big boys" at the dog park or sit on your lap for hours. She lives with big and small dogs, kids and is only about 7lbs. She's 8 months old and pretty much full grown at this point. She was completely intrigued with the cats. She ran up to them, backed away, ran around the corner and barked at them, stuck her head back around the corner to see if they went away and darn it! they did not. If there are cats in the house, she won't hurt them but it will take a few days to acclimate everyone and probably will require a dog savvy cat who isn't intimiated by a little pipsqueak!
