Nate

This freckle faced cutie, Nate, revealed his sweet side quickly after coming into our rescue.  He is about one year old, a Lab mixed with we don't know what, neutered, vaccinated, chipped and he rides well in the car.  He is the perfect ambassador dog for us as he loves playing fetch!  He loves belly rubs, treats and the people who dole them out. Nate has started to settle into his foster home and is showing what a great temperament he has.  He needs to learn to walk better on leash and not to jump up in his glee to greet you, so his fosters are working with him every day to help him learn the ropes.  Because of his energy and enthusiasm, we think it's best for Nate to go to a home that has older kids who won't be bowled over by his enthusiasm.  When introduced to another sweet dog much smaller than he is, he was happy to engage and wanted to play.  He just needed some guidance about dialing down his energy a bit.  Nate loves, loves, loves his toys and his food, so training this smart pup is going to be cinch.

Sunny

Sunny was found as a stray and was skin and bones, but very friendly.  Now after a couple of months in a foster home, this petite one-year old girl has put on some much-needed weight, learned some house manners, loves playing with her foster doggy siblings, and loves her walks.  Her ideal home will have her humans home more often than not to continue with her manners and training. Sunny would thrive in a family who love the outdoors too. For being a smaller girl (around 35-39 pounds), she has a big appetite, a lot of energy, and will keep her family busy!  She loves playing with other dogs, so her ideal forever home will have another playful canine companion who enjoys playing all day long.

Sunny is keenly aware of her surroundings and will let you know through her bark when someone/something is nearby. She does not hesitate to jump in your lap and will greet you with lots of kisses when you wake up in the morning or return home. Proper introductions are important as she can be a little bossy when meeting new dogs and/or with her toys and food.  Sunny is very motivated by treats and will bring you many indoor and outdoor gifts. She is a wonderful girl who has so much potential being a forever friend to another canine and her people!

Madeline

Madeline is a chocolate Lab who is the mom to the litter of 8 puppies on our website, and a terrific mom she was. They are all healthy, well adjusted and thriving.   Madeline will turn 2 in September, has been spayed, chipped and vaccinated so she is ready for her new home now.  Her foster parents say she is very sweet and is adjusting nicely to her change in circumstances.  She didn't have much experience walking on a leash in her previous home, so her fosters are working with her on leash manners.  So far she is proving to be comfortable in a crate or on a dog bed, sleeping well at night, having no accidents in the house and is eating well.  She is a little shy with new experiences so we are giving her some time to settle into her foster home first, then will test her with kids and other dogs so stay tuned for an update.

Freddie - Adopted!

Freddie is a male lab mix, born on 4/18/22.  He's super smart, observant and confident - he'll watch you do something once and try it for himself.  He's doing great in his potty training, has conquered his "sit" command and is learning "down."  He's a real sweetie and loves to cuddle on your lap before his nap or bedtime.  Freddie can be fairly verbal in letting you know he misses you when you leave the room, but he's learning that we always come back.  He's got lots of other funny noises to express his personality.  Freddie loves meeting new people and other dogs, and would love a doggy companion in his forever home.  He would also like a family who has lots of time for exercise, play and training.

Andy - Adopted!

Andy is a velcro puppy!  He loves playing with his GR foster sis and his favorite toy is all toys.  Andy is making great progress on housetraining and “sit” already.  He also sleeps all night in his crate although he is an early riser!  Andy is full of puppy antics, such as getting into things (red wine anyone?), darting through the room with a shoe, getting underfoot, sleeping on feet, (see a theme?).  He has discovered his “twin” in the mirror recently. He is often found on his foster mom’s lap.  He is described as an awesome puppy with a great disposition.  Andy's ideal home should include another playful companion and a family who is committed to train and exercise Andy to become his bestest self! Check back for updates.

Wally - Adopted!

Wally is a male lab mix, born 4/18/22.  He's got lots of puppy energy, playing hard and resting hard.  He's very happy in his crate in the evening and sleeps through the night.  Wally interacts well with his foster brothers and is constantly inviting them to play.  He loves toys, as well as cuddles, kisses and smooches.  He's outgoing and friendly with everyone he meets, and has a soft spot for kids - his foster mother believes he thinks of them as fellow puppies (or maybe he's really a kid in disguise?)  He's a real foodie and enjoys any kind of treat with gusto.  He's curious about everything and has been known to steal a shoe or two, but is easily distracted with a more appropriate chew toy.  He's making progress on his house training.  Wally would like a family who will include him in their activities, and where he gets lots of play time with either/both human or doggy siblings.

Eve - Adopted!

Eve is one of our four little girls. She is a super sweet little puppy, affectionate but not clingy, curious but respectful of other dogs and not pushy but playful. She sleeps all night in her crate and has been learning all about house training! She also enjoys napping in her crate during the day. There have been lots of new experiences and changes for Eve and she has been taking everything in stride.

Elton 

Elton is a very outgoing, sweet puppy who gets involved with everything going on in the house. He loves people and making friends with guests. He is playful and great with other dogs. He is very friendly and curious and likes to sit on your lap or just be close to you.  His house training is going well and he is sleeping in his crate. He would benefit in a home with an older canine sibling that can help show him the ropes and be a playmate who is able to deal with puppy energy.

Annabelle - Adopted!

Annabelle is a female lab mix, who was born on 4/18/22.  She's sweet, affectionate and very energetic!  She loves to play with toys, with people and with other dogs.  Annabelle also likes to play in her baby pool, fetch tennis balls and chase ice cubes around the kitchen.  She's working on her house training.  She can be mischievous, but is easily distracted and listens pretty well when you want to redirect her to something more appropriate.  Annabelle is looking for a home with an energetic family who will give her lots of exercise and continue on with her training.  She'd love to have a doggy sibling that is up for rough and tumble wrestling.  Lots of love, toys and good food are a given!

Mila - Adopted!

Mila is a female lab mix, born on 4/18/22.  She loves being with her people, as well as playing with other pups.  She's quickly picking up on her house training and is learning quickly how to wrap her people around her little paw.  She'd love an active family who has lots of time to devote to her.  Someone home more than not is a must, and human or canine companions would be a plus!  We're still learning about Mila and will update her bio as we get to know her better.

Ellen 

Ellen is a very happy puppy. Her foster canine siblings are showing "Ellie" the ropes. She has a great appetite and when not eating or chewing, she is playing with the other dogs or sleeping.

Blondie 

This beautiful lady is six years young.  Blondie is housetrained and has a nice balance of being independent and Velcro. Blondie enjoys walking in the neighborhood and playing with other dogs she calls friends. This sweet dog loves people so much! If she had her way, every person she sees would pet her. Blondie has excellent manners when it comes to meeting new people (i.e. she doesn't jump). Blondie enjoys naps on the couch, hanging out with people, sunning herself, chewing on bones, and stuffed toys.

Blondie is looking for a home without children, cats, or another dog.

Blondie has had adopters who have opened their hearts and homes to her, but the adoptions were not successful for different reasons: her excitability when seeing cats and critters when she is on walks or in the yard and food related guarding.

Blondie needs a dog savvy adopter who has experience with resource guarding. Her adopter must be committed to using training exercises to help with her impulse control and demand barking (Blondie’s foster family says the exercises and techniques from behaviorist Barbara Davis, CPDT-KA, CDBC, SBA are a game changer!). Blondie has some anxiety and will need an adopter that will go slow to give her time to settle into a new home. Her adopter must also be comfortable keeping Blondie on anti-anxiety medication.

Blondie walks well in her foster family’s neighborhood, but she gets excited and can pull when exploring a new neighborhood or park. Over time Blondie has learned to slowly stalk squirrels instead of barreling towards them, but sometimes she will still pull towards one.  Blondie remembers every spot in the neighborhood where she’s seen a cat and readily dives into bushes to see if they are still there. Blondie loves to look for trash/food on her walks so having patience, a sense of humor, and some yummy treats on hand is a must.

Blondie is a fan of ear, neck, and butt rubs, and is a great TV watching companion. She enjoys being brushed and doesn’t mind having her ears cleaned. Blondie has been known to “share” her toys with members of her foster family who often find at least one, if not more, toys on their lap. Blondie enjoys a good game of tug, and her foster dad likes to toss toys for her to catch – she’s not good at catching, but her attempts will make you laugh, and you will erupt with joy when she is successful.

Kiki

Kiki is a 2 year old, 40-45 lb female, Aussie/Flat coat retriever mix.  Kiki can be a bit shy, even fearful, with new people but with help, she can get quite comfortable.   It doesn’t take long until she is cuddled up with you, belly up for pets or loving to rest her head on your lap. She has medium energy that can be really brought out during walks and play time. Other than this though, Kiki is quite a relaxed dog. She has a very calm behavior in the car which tells us she would be a great road trip companion. Overall, she would be perfect for anyone who enjoys snuggling with their furry companion on the couch, but also wouldn’t mind going for a decent walk. She is knowledgeable with sit, down, come and stay and she gently takes her treats.  She likes toys to chew on but has not demonstrated any demolition skills yet.  She would like a family that wants to have her sleep with them and she does not take up too much room or overcrowd you.  Her house manners are impeccable and she will alert you when guests arrive.  She can get excited when she sees other dogs out walking but with continued training, she is becoming a fun walking companion.
