FLASH
1.5yrs, Heeler/Pit Mix
Neutered Male, Microchipped
Hi Fellow Adventurer and Future Best Friend! My name is Flash and the people that know me best would describe me as social and quick to befriend (no one is a stranger!) playful and lively (bouncy-as-ever!) goofy and comical (a lover of silliness!) and adventurous (ready to hike, romp and play!) I’m also said to be the most bubbly so put down your metaphorical champagne and let’s party! You might also like to know I’m house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained, love humans and I’m sure to impress with my sit, stay, wait and ok (release) and place (come and down) And just like me, I bet you love playing tug-o-war, wrestling, goofing around and adventuring around in the backyard! But we all have our quirks! I’d thrive in a home that could offer further training support – After all, we’re never done learning! I’d also benefit from someone who has experience in or someone willing to help me grow in behaviors relating to hyperarousal (best aided through a combination of management and b-mod) Oh, and a yard – Perfect for my zoomies! So what do you say? I can’t wait to thrive in my new home and love the family meant for me! Do I sound like your perfect match?! Then throw this dog a bone & Let’s play, play, play!
Oh, and before I forget – I go home with my food/toys galore/bed/crate/leash and collar – This way you can focus on what’s important – Me, us and our new life together!

BUDDY
15yrs, Domestic Medium Hair
Hi Fellow Lounger and Future Snuggle-Partner! My name is Buddy and the people that know me best would describe me as handsome (obviously!) loving and affectionate, gentle and kind (an absolute heart of gold!) easygoing and low-maintenance (the perfect listener!) oh-so-gentle and a soothing presence and the most loyal to those I hold dear! You might also like to know I’m litter-box trained, love humans and get along just fine with cats and dogs who share my love of calm! And just like me, I bet you love to paw at jingle balls, feathers and strings, people-watch and sunbathe by the window while you watch the birds! (And let’s not forget snuggle – I live to love and keeping cozy with my person is all I need to make a good day great!) But I have to say, as a senior kitty with managed diabetes, a family who doesn’t mind my special needs is best – After all, everyone likes to be understood! So what do you say? Are you as eager to love again as I am? My years may be golden but our best days are ahead!
Oh, and before I forget! I’ll also go home with my litter and litter-box, food and food bowls, medication and continued support from my current caretaker who’s but a text or email away! This way you can focus on what’s most important – Me, us and our new life together! And PS – DCIN ( https://dcin.dreamhosters.com/assistance-programs/) is a great resource for pet-parents of diabetic cats! Don’t let something manageable keep you from a sweet one like me! (If my human mom were still here today, she would tell you diabetes was nothing in comparison to 14 years of love!)

LUNA
Young Adult Female
Luna has the biggest personality! She’s one-year-old and still very much a kitten; she loves to play and let her energy out before she snuggles up next to you for a long nap. She knows no human strangers but is unsure around other animals, it just takes her a little while longer to trust fur-mates. Oddly, she is very curious around water! She loves to sit next to the shower and swat at water droplets. She is very sweet and has the perfect amount of sass, she’s sure to bring you laughs!

STOUT
7 Months, Shepherd Mix, Male
Hi Future Family! My name is Stout and the people that know me best would describe me as so precious I’ll melt your heart, handsome (obviously!) loving and affectionate, playful and lively (bouncy-as-ever!goofy and comical (a lover of silliness!) shy and eager to trust and curious and prone to investigate! You might also like to know I’m crate-trained, house-trained, love humans (kiddos, teenagers and adults alike!) love doggos who are similiar or smaller in size and I even like the vet (mostly because they give me treats!) and I’m sure to impress with my sit, lay-down, come and wait (And I’ll bet with the right treats, I could learn so much more – YUM!) And just like me, I bet you love playing in the water and swimming, practicing and perfecting my cues (for treats!) goofing around, de-squeaking squeaker toys and de-fluffing stuffed toys, chewing on bones (and not your shoes!), sharing the couch and snuggling to Netflix, and getting all the belly rubs possible! And I know what you’re thinking – I sound perfect! So what’s the catch? I’m my happiest and most confident self when I have someone beside me! (Aren’t we all?!) That being said I can’t wait to thrive in my new home and love the family meant for me! Feel like we were meant to be? Don’t let love pass you by! Meet me today & Let’s fall in love!

SIMON
1.5 Years
Neutered Male
Hi Future Family! My name is Simon and the people that know me best would describe me as handsome (obviously!) loving and affectionate, smart and eager to learn (especially with the right treats!) independent and dignified (my confidence shows!) and adventurous (ready to hike, romp and play!) You might also like to know I’m crate-trained, house-trained, leash-trained, love humans (kiddos, teenagers and adults alike!) and I even like the vet (mostly because they give me treats!) Oh, and I’m sure to impress with my stay, sit, shake and down! Just think of all the fun we’ll have practicing and perfecting my cues for treats (YUM!) hiking, camping, swimming, running with the best of them, playing games of chase and cuddling when the day is done! But I have to say.. I’d thrive most in a home with a yard to play in and no other pets – What can I say? I love the humans, I don’t like dogs and I love to chase so cats probably aren’t a good idea and why make friends with dogs when I can make friends with you?! Speaking of – I’d benefit from someone who has experience with (or someone willing to learn and help me grow in) reactive behavior as it pertains to unknown pets – This is best aided through management of environment i.e. a home without pets and a lifestyle that allows me to be my best-self! That being said, I can’t wait to thrive in my new home and love the family meant for me! Ready to take a chance on love? Throw this dog a bone & Let’s go home!
Oh, and before I forget – I also go home with my food bowls and food, bed for catching Zzz’s, collar, leash and harness, muzzle, my favorite toys, treats galore, prevention for fleas/ticks and heartworms, and continued support from my current family who’s but a text or email away! This way you can focus on what’s important – Me, us and our new life together!

Just imagine how wonderful it will be going for our daily walks, de-squeaking squeaker toys, adventuring around in the backyard, sharing the couch, snuggling to Netflix and hitting the snooze button twice! And I know what you’re thinking – I sound perfect! So what’s the catch? I’d thrive in a home where I can be the only pet! What can I say? Home is where the humans are!
