Jasper CP is a male shepherd mix, about 4 years old, weighs 46lbs. He's energetic, does great on car rides, goes with the flow but he's ready for action. He's up to date with his shots and flea/tick prevention. Jasper's dream is to have a fenced in yard where he can run off his energy, maybe even some camping and hiking or long car rides on the way to an adventure. He'd be great for someone that has the energy to keep up with him or maybe even some kids and other dogs that he can play with.

How are these two still not adopted?!

Do you love snuggles? Need a tiny supervisor for your daily tasks? Want people to stop their cars just to tell you how adorable they are ?

Papi & Chloe Are Ready for Their Forever Home!

Meet Papi and Chloe—an adorable bonded duo looking for a loving family to call their own. These two turn heads wherever they go. Seriously, prepare to be stopped on every walk by people who can’t get over how cute they are!

Papi is an 8-year-old, 10-pound male with a big personality and even bigger heart. He’s currently being treated for heartworm, but you’d never guess it—he’s full of energy, curious, and always wants to be where the action is.

Chloe is a 4-year-old, 5-pound sweetheart who just got a clean bill of health from the vet. She’s sprightly, affectionate, and has recently invented her own Olympic sport: Golden Retriever Leaping—a sight to behold!

They both:

Walk beautifully on leash

Sleep quietly in their crates

Get along wonderfully with other dogs

Love to snuggle with their foster sister (snuggling is definitely their favorite activity)

Above all, they love each other deeply. They’re just looking for a warm home, a few good adventures, and someone to share in their epic-level snuggling sessions.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this perfect duo

Good morning guys this is Dean. He’s a four year-old male. We’re coming up on a year that he’s been with me which I never really expected to foster a dog for a year as I like to do short-term fostering so I can move onto the next dog in need. I need everyone to share his post. Let’s find him  his own home.
Dean is 100% potty trained. He’s roughly 14 pounds. He was heartworm positive but has gone through the treatment and recently tested negative! Hooray! He doesn’t know many commands and he’s very stubborn. He’s very dog selective but with proper introduction meaning a couple days separated behind the gate usually does the trick. He loves to play ball. He loves being outside . He loves to snuggle. He’s very vocal and loves to announce to everyone that he’s in the room he does take a minute to warm up to people, but that’s just him.

Dean came from the Montgomery County shelter, he was an Owner Surrender, his original family enlisted in the army and was shipped out. He came in with a sister into the shelter, but she was adopted from the shelter

If you know anyone looking for an athletic 14 pound dog who has a lot of attitude but a lot of love please share this picture with them. While he does love to do zoomies with other dogs around the yard, Dean would be a great candidate for an older couple that wants a single dog he is truly a lap dog

Shadow!!!!!!

The excitement when he wants to eat or go outside… he dances 😍. He goes back to his foster tomorrow night. He’s the coolest 😎 dog! Just need patience with him. He can be shy at first! A calmer house works best. He certainly doesn’t like the other dogs going near his bone or chewy treats. That’s ok. I have others just like that 🤷🏼‍♀️. We managed to get some more pics and videos. So handsome! Shadow is looking for his forever home! He is around 8 years old and 20-25 pounds! House trained and crate trained!

Bella is still looking for her person!!! Shes been looking a while! 💓

This little lady would love to have a doting person to be her companion. She needs a committed person who will give her the patience and time she needs to get to trust you. I promise you if you just give her the space and time she needs that you will never have a better companion. She is completely house trained. As soon as you pick her leash up she is there waiting for you to put it on her and go outside to potty. Also if you are going to be gone for a while if you put a puppy pad down she will use it only if she just can’t hold it. She has never chewed on anything around. There are shoes and toys and stuff laying around and she never bothers it. I do not crate her because she honestly just doesn’t need it. She will sleep with you or under the bed just to be close to you. She will greet you as soon as you walk in the door jumping up and down like a spring and will be with you every move you make. She waits in the bathroom and watches the shower curtain until you get out. She loves to go for rides. She will adapt to visitors but you need to let her go to them. Don’t push her. She does however need to be the only pet as she prefers to have all the animal attention to herself 🙂 Can you blame her after not having much attention all her life?

If you are looking for a “shadow” that will love you like no other and are willing to let her warm up on her terms you will have the best companion! She’s worth going slow for because the reward is amazing as her foster mom has seen! Unfortunately, her foster mom does have another dog and this is how we know that Bella prefers to have the attention to herself! 

Bella is 9 years old, around 15 pounds and a wired hair terrier mix.
