Sweet Sassy is a loving girl who is ready to be someone's princess. Adorably fuzzy, pleasantly plump and with a subtle underbite that only adds to her cuteness, Sassy is ready to put on the charm. She loves to cuddle up on the couch and snuggle with (or on top) of her people. When left to her own devices, you might just find her propped up on a pillow, watching TV.

During an extended sleepover, Sassy has shown great manners. She was pretty frustrated at the kennel but it's clear that she is familiar with home life - and surely has been missing it! She is housebroken and does well in her crate, though she also likes taking naps with her person. She has been quiet so far and has not attempted to chew anything. She was also tolerant of a bath, and now is looking nice a shiny! Every now and then Sassy can start off a bit shy, but she's quick to warm up and turn on the snuggles. With other dogs in play group, Sassy has been gently social.

Sassy is ready to find a comfy, loving home of her own. She is an affectionate and easy addition to have around the house. She is estimated to be around 3 years old and weighs 59 lbs. Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to set up a meet!

Sweet, playful, affectionate, and always ready for her next adventure - that's Reba She has an easygoing personality that makes her a joy to spend time with, whether you're out exploring or relaxing at home. Reba is really feeling the stress of kennel life lately and she would love to bust out and become someone's sidekick. She knows a thing or two about hope!

Reba enjoys getting outside to sniff all the interesting smells and happily greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail. While outings with a volunteer, she politely says hello to new people without jumping up. She also rides like a pro in the car, settling in as if she's been a road trip companion before.

Reba is curious and active but also knows how to entertain herself. She enjoys tossing toys around and making her own fun, but she is just as happy to come over for cuddles when called. She's incredibly affectionate and would gladly trade playtime for lap time if you're offering pets and snuggles.

While out on walks, Reba can be curious about what's going on around her, but she's bright and attentive to guidance. With time away from the kennel and more of a routine, she'll really shine with more confidence and focus. She consistently keeps her kennel tidy during the day, so we think she could be housebroken. With other dogs in play group, Reba was social with a lower-key and gentle vibe.

Reba is a bright, pretty lady who is sure to make someone a great best friend. Reba is around 3 years old and weighs 61 lbs.

Meet Onyx - a sweet, happy girl who is quick to make new friends! Onyx meets life with a big smile and wagging tail. Her friendly, playful, lovable disposition makes her a joy to be around.

Onyx is a little social butterfly with people and dogs alike. Onyx is known for being playful and personable around the kennel with volunteers, and recently she really shined at the Collision Bend Brewing Company RiverFest event over the weekend. She loved greeting people with kisses or by flipping over to get belly rubs. She was curious and likes to explore, but remains attentive to her person and overall showed good manners.

Onyx is also a regular in our play groups where she enjoys playing with other dogs. She even acts as a "helper" dog and helps to welcome new dogs to the kennel as she has shown the ability to socialize with a wide variety of others. She might enjoy a doggy playmate in her future home.

Fun, friendly, perky girl Onyx is estimated to be around a year old and weighs 45 lbs. Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to set up a meet!

Spencer says thanks to Collision Bend Brewing Company for hosting us at River Fest today! With lots of new people to befriend and snuggles to receive, Spencer was in HEAVEN! He loved making the round and getting pets and scritches and compliments from everyone. If you're in the market for a hug from a 75lb lap dog, then Spencer is your guy!

While not socializing at events, this big happy, goofy love bug enjoys going for a stroll or bopping around with some toys, but mostly he likes to be a loaf and hang out with a buddy. We suspect he could make a great couch potato!

Spencer seems like he has some manners already. He consistently keeps his kennel clean so we think he could be housebroken. He knows how to sit and takes treats gently, and even though he's a big boy, he has been manageable on leash. With other dogs in play group, he was sociable. Spencer is estimated to be around 5 years old.

Meet Apricot - the sweetest, smooshiest girl whose favorite place is by your side. She simply cannot get enough love! And when she sprawls out next to you or flops right across your lap, it's pretty much impossible to resist her charms. Apricot is even a budding start - she made an appearance on the news and was such a ham that she charmed everyone in the studio.

Apricot is a gentle soul who takes pleasure in the simple things in life: a comfy spot on the couch, a cozy blanket pile, a warm spot in the sun, and of course belly rubs from a friend. It doesn't take much to get her tail wagging. She takes comfort from her people, and while she started off a bit shy, she has shown how quick she is to warm up and lay on the affection. She can still be startled by things like sudden loud noises, and appreciates a quieter, patience environment.

In a foster home, Miss Apricot has shown in many ways is a mellow and easy-going houseguest. She is housebroken (just one accident as she was settling in) and is overall mild-mannered and polite with people. She is not a fan of spending time alone, and would love to find a family where she can spend lots of time with her people, but she's settling down with time as she picks up the routine. With other dogs in play group, Apricot was in the gentle/dainty category and mostly just hung around. With more time, it's definitely possible that she'll show a more playful side too.

Apricot is also quite brave - she is currently recovering from heartworm treatment. This involves a lot of rest and relaxing, which she is good at! She is able to continue this rest period in a forever home, and then she can work back up to normal dog activities.

Apricot is estimated to be around 3.5 years old and weighs 73 mushy pounds. Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to set up a meet!
