Akuma
Almost stoic at times, I can play a good game of catch me if you can as well! I walk nicely and politely on leash with little direction and do enjoy a good saunter. I know some of the basics already, sit, down, come, stay and paw! Loyal and very intelligent, I will prefer a new family that can keep me busy and give me fun training excercises to do now and again. I enjoy being outside but, do not wish to be there all the time. I would prefer an experienced home that knows about my breed. I am fussy with other dogs and may be best suited to be an only child.

Tasha
Smart and loving any one on one time with training or playtime, I have lots of focus and learn and listen quickly! I do well with most dogs and am very polite. No cats or small animals for me as it is just far too interesting for me. I would prefer children over 8 so that I can have some time to settle and show my true colors. I will need things to do to keep my active mind occupied. Someone with some knowledge of my breed or similar type dogs may be wonderful!

Gracie
I want greatly to be at ease with my new family. To allow me to settle, I am asking for teens and adults only with some savvy of how nervous dogs can be and the ability to help me along the way. I may do well with other small dogs and may learn alot if given a friend to hang out with. Cats seem fine too. I am sweet, willing and want so badly to be trusting. Do you have time to work with me?

Henry
Unsure of myself and pretty nervous I am hoping for that quiet home that can allow me to settle in and relax. I do enjoy being with people but, with all that has changed for me in such a short amount of time, I am feeling overwhelmed and will need patience. I don't seem to mind other smaller, gentler dogs with a lower activity level...the wild puppies are too much for me though. Cats seem fine as well. Due to my need to go slow, children will need to be over 8 please.

Harley
Harley came to us from an overcrowded shelter in the south. She would love a nice quiet home where she can get lots of attention. She does not seem to mind cats she has met here. She picks and chooses the canine companions she associates with, so if you have another dog at home please let us meet to see if we get along. I would do best in a home with children over the age of 8 years.

Titus
Have you ever loved a Rottweiler? You will love me! I have all the atypical traits; I'm a leaner, love my people and want to protect them. I do well with those that offer me clear leadership and mix a little playtime with tennis balls in between. I do like to swim as well. While I have lived with cats and dogs, I can be fairly picky about my canine companions. Thus, any potential matches will need to meet me here first to be sure. Children over 10 for me please!

Bruiser
I would prefer a home where I can continue to have a canine companion. I play nicely and gently and look for other dogs to show me what to do. I can be a bit nervous with new situations but, adapt quickly and love attention! I have lived with children before and would be just fine with those over 6 years of age. Cats seem fine too! If you see how cute and adorable I am, you will just fall in love!

Tazz
I am a man on the move, curious and wanting to investigate everything! I am an adolescent,all legs and gangly but, learning so much and with so much potential to shine! I am already a very big boyand having had little training previously will need some refreshers to fit in. Isn't it great that there is training offered with adoption?! Due to my size and strength I am asking for children that will not be knocked over by accident,so 8 or 1o and up please. I am good with some dogs so,let'smeet first to be sure and cats, well they are quite interesting...I think I'd like to chase them!

Rustea
I am a people pleaser! I simply want to be in the mix and follow you from room to room if you'll let me. I am ready to do whatever is on the agenda for the day whether it be an easy walk together or a bit of time snuggling up to relax. I have done marvelously with the other dogs here and have so much fun. Cats are ery interesting but, I do well with a little encouragement that they are okay. Given my happy hearted nature I should adapt well in a home with children over 4.

Lukas
I am a gem...a diamond in the rough they say! Pleasant, easygoing and so willing. I amgentle with other dogs,cats and love to learn as well. I will be quite a big boy when I am full grown so, be prepared if you are considering me. I have sadly, spent a bit of time in shelters and have missed out on the love that can come from a family of my very own...are you that home? I have already started training andlove positive reinforcement training....I love cookies you know. Please, bring the family to meet me!

Denny
So happy! I am all wiggles and wonderful. I do takesome time to settle as I just get so excited to be with and around people but, I just need some one on one to curl up and wiggle into your lap. I play nicely with most other dogs but,can be overwhelmed by dogs that play too roughly. Cats, well they are pretty scary to me but, I am learning that they are okay and won't hurt me. Given my amazing good nature, all ages should be okay with me as long as my parents know how to be safe with dogs and children.

Frannie
Beautiful, chatty and oh so silly! You better be prepared for all things hound! I have boundless energy, love to play and think other dogs are pretty great too. I have been around cats and may chase them for fun, so dog savvy for me or none please. I am ready to learn and raring to go. I'd love to follow up with my training classes, I do so love to work for my treats! Children should be over 6 for me please.

Scotty
I get up and go..check. Playful,foolish ways..check. Willing to learn and grow..got it. I am a puppy still in so many ways. I am searching for a family with dedication and a little hint of silliness to make a good fit for my antics. I am a great boy simply in need of some basics. I want to please so training is fun with me! I think the kiddie pools are the best invention ever and race about and try to dive into them! Toys that make noise...oh my goodness! Other dogs are so much fun, cats seem like fun to me too! Due to my slightly "wild" side when we play, 8 and up please.

Scrooge
I'm still growing into my legs and can be a little awkward at times. I've already begun learning the basics and will only need some gentle reminders to help me grow into the best canine companion I can be! I do still have lots of energy and am learning how to keep myself busy. For now, a crate and some puppy classes would be the best thing to get us on our way. Other dogs are okay with me and I think cats may be the best thing ever...to chase that is! Children will need to be a bit bigger for me please, 8 and up.

Blake
I am still very much a puppy. I'm learning tons of things already and am so eager to learn and please. I work hard for food and will do well with positive reinforcement and consistent training. I have done well with most of the other dogs I have met here and so so love to play outside with them. Ilike to swim and will try to take all my toys into the pool if you let me...the kiddie pool that is. I wag and wiggle when I see cats and should be just fine with them. However, my high energy foolishness means I am looking for a home with children over 8 please.

Janet
Just plain, "melt your heart type" of girl...I am sweet, gentle and so accepting! I am still a puppy, so will need an active home! All I really need is a little time to adapt and someone to show me the ropes. I should be fine with other dogs, cats and even children of all ages with a proper introduction. I have been crate trained and lovehaving my own room. Do you have room for the best little beagle mix in town?

Beetle
Pretty happy go lucky, I am a wonderful little guy who just adores being with people. I will need time to adapt to normal family life as I was previously outdoors most of my life. I am really hoping we can work together on bringing me indoors and making me a part of the family! I have done well with the other dogs I have met here and even cats too! All ages should be just fine with me as long as we can meet first.

Aphrodite
I am simply put, a work in progress. I have begun working with Cocheco's trainer...it is going to be a long road for us though. I am learning slowly that being a dog can be a pretty good thing, that people aren't bad and being touched is okay. I am considered a "flight risk", needing to stay onleash now and requiring time and follow up after we meet to ensure success. No children for me please. I do well with the other dogs and cats I have met and may be best with another small dog that can show me the way.

Marvin
I am cautious and troubled by most normal things..you see I have come from a bad living situation where there was no contact with humans. I am learning though and getting a little better everyday! I must be kept on leash and confined in the yard as well to remain safe. I am learning that normal family experiences can be good but, it will take me a long time to trust my new situation. The trainer has begun working with me and considers me a "flight risk" so I will need to follow up with social building skills and leadership skills as well. No children for me, other small dogs may be a good experience for me and cats seem fine as well.

Styx
I am looking for reassurance, although fearful from been being devoid of human contact in my previous home. I am learning quickly and doing well with the guidance I am getting here. I am considered a "flight risk" due to my fearful nature but, with time, training and leash work I will adapt over time. Progress will be slow so, be prepared to work with me. Luckily, the trainer has already started to work with me and we can follow up after adoption as well! I am seeking a home with children over 10 or so, another small dog would be fine...cats too!

Bowser
I'm the hunt for a patient home...you see, I've had a rough go of it thus far. I was found running around with my leash attached. Sadly, no one came looking for me. I'm relearning everything now but, I am ready and willing to please. I'll need to learn how to play, how to be calm in the home, how not to be nervous too. I have been very calm and cautious with other animals here and may be fine with other dogs or cats in the home. Due to my need to reintroduce myself to things and to become a social butterfly...no children for me please.

Sierra
I am fearful and will need to learn to trust with you. I may be best suited to join a household with another dog in the home already to help me learn the ropes! I love a crate and will do much better if offered my "own room" to snuggle up in. I will go to my crate when stressed...which may happen more in the beginning of our relationship as I get to know the routine in the household. Due to my nervous nellie nature, no children for me please. Cats may be okay but, I'm still figuring them out.

Brady
I am cautious and shy at times needing someone to gently help me come out of my shell. I may benefit from a crate in the home to allow me to have my "own room" to retreat to at times. While I have lived lived in a busy household before, this was not the best situation for me. I am looking for a home with older children, 10 and up please, cats are fine. I may be okay with another dog, but will need one with a similar, low key kind of attitude to be successful.

Sweet Pea
I am simply put, a happy girl looking for a perfect companion. I have previously been crated far too many hours of the day so, now I am searching for that perfect companion that can work with me and build a great relationship! I am well mannered when we work together and just love to be with people. While I am okay with other dogs, I am asking that I be the only one in the home...for now to allow me to settle with my family. I am asking for children slightly over the toddler phase as I am exuberant and athletic and need time to settle in.

Gabby
I am a sweet, gentle and yet rough and tumble girl. I am nervous new surroundings but, learn quickly to trust and love. I do well with respectful canines and cats that are not too nervous. Children are a little overwhelming at first for me, so 6 and up please. I will make an absolutely devoted, loving, wonderful companion!

Damon
A bit of a nervous nell at times, I like the easy life best. Too much commotion just makes me shy away a bit. I do like children but, may appreciate either a smaller family or slightly older children so as to avoid any feelings of being overwhelmed. I am a gentleman with other dogs and am quite easygoing. Perhaps a canine companion would help me feel at ease. Cats are okay with me too!

Boone
Fearful of all the goings on, I am hoping for that perfect fit of an adult only, calm and easygoing household. I prefer to spend most of my time indoors and will follow someone I trust around the house. This will take time for me as I am nearly shell shocked with all the changes in my life. Another small, gentle canine companion may be ideal for me to help me to understand people are okay and to show me the ropes. I am nervous of our feline friends but, should be just fine with them as well.

Angus
Friendly, yet shy I am a boy who simply needs to know everything is okay and then, I warm right up. I love to swim, chase toys and play fetch. I am already learning all the basics so I'll just need to continue in my new home. Upon first greeting I can be a little reserved so, children will need to be over 6 for me please. Other dogs are fine for the most part so, just bring any potential candidates to meet me please. I am charming and have so much potential! you'll see!

Honey
I am just a love! A nice blend of manners, activity and playfulness I could easily suit most households ready to make a commitment to me. I have plenty of get up and go, so don't let my middle agedness fool you! Got toys, I'm ready to play! Bring the family to meet me, you'll see just how wonderful I really am.
