The following dogs are scheduled to attend this Adoption Day.

Females Attending

I am Josie, a very smart, 70 lbs., three-year-old girl, with classic GSD coloring.  My fosters have been very patient with me. When they have guests, I love to meet and play with them.  I was enrolled in a training program to improve my behavior around other dogs while on walks. I have improved but still need practice. I understand heel, stay, and sit, the basics of being a good girl. I am working on being a better passenger, learning to relax and not get overly excited.  Some of my favorite things are walks, playing with my toys, and napping in the sun. I love when my foster parents say, “Get a toy, Josie, and let’s play.” I run over to my toy box and throw a few out until I find my favorite. Read more…

Tara is a beautiful, 70 pound, long legged 7 year old kind, sweet and generous dog who is thriving in her foster home. Tara is smart and curious and is responding well to training. She is crate trained but sleeps quietly on her doggy bed and waits patiently until her family wakes up. Tara has great house manners. She doesn’t chew inappropriately and stays off furniture. In the backyard, she doesn’t dig and isn’t destructive. Tara is not a demanding dog and happily waits until her foster family is ready to play. Tara loves walking and hiking and never pulls on the leash. She can be fussy when other dogs bark at her but is easily redirected. Tara wants her people all to herself, so we recommend she be the only dog.  No cats either!    Read more…

Males Attending

Fezzik is wonderful adoptable dog (puppy)? and here are the details about his behavior: His demeanor is friendly, warm, trusting, and happy.  Fezzik meets all the requirements for being house-trained; he goes in the appropriate places and is somewhat predictable.  We would like to see him more clearly communicate the need to go.  Fezzik is able to eat among all four other dogs, and shows no aggression or resource guarding.  Our household feeding routine is that each dog must sit and be calm before being allowed to eat.  He follows our family practice of skimming the other food bowls when done. Fezzik takes treats with gusto, but never snapping.  Gently almost.  Read more…
