🎒🐾 General Is Reporting for His First Day of Puppy School and Needs a Family to Walk Him In 🐾🎒

General is a male Border Collie Shepherd mix born July 25th, 2026, part of the Military Litter, black with a white chest. At about three months old, he has signed up for the cuddle and companionship department and takes the assignment very seriously. 🥹💛

His report card so far:

🚪 Doggy door: Passing
🚽 Potty training: Working hard and making progress
👧 Older kids: Gets along well with them
🐕 Dog friends: Wants to be buddies with every one he meets
🐱 Cat friends: Wants to be buddies with them too
📝 Teacher's note: General gets so excited to make friends that his furry roommates can get a little overwhelmed. He is learning that not every dog or cat wants to party as much as he does, and he is making his way through that lesson.

Border Collies and Shepherds are intelligent, active breeds that do best with plenty of exercise and chances to use their brains. General needs a family ready to keep up his training, give him play and enrichment, and help him learn good puppy manners. Walks, games, short training sessions, puzzle toys, and lots of positive reinforcement will keep him happy. 🧠🐾

With consistency, patience, and somewhere to put all that puppy energy, this handsome boy is going to make an amazing lifelong companion.

He will be fully vaccinated and neutered before heading home. As with any puppy settling into a new place, plan for an adjustment period and keep routines consistent while he finds his footing. 🐾

His next mission is finding his forever family, and the first day of school is already in session. Apply to adopt General below. 🎒🐾💛

🐺🐾 Koda Is Looking for a Teammate and He Is Willing to Train 🐾🐺

Koda is a male German Shepherd mix, about two years old, and he is a smart, loyal dog who spent time on a euthanasia list before the rescue pulled him. His foster family says he gets a little braver and more confident every week. 💙

Teammate profile:

🎾 Plays fetch, loves toys, and runs the yard at full speed
🐾 Sticks close to his person
🧠 Working on sit, leave it, and leash manners, and picks things up fast
🛏️ Settles best in a sturdy, enclosed crate with a calm routine

Koda does best in a calm home. Loud noises, unfamiliar people, and a lot of commotion can be overwhelming for him, so quiet and patient is the way to go. His ideal teammate has:

🏡 A tall, securely fenced yard
🐕 Experience with shepherds or working breeds
👨‍👩‍👧 Adults or kids twelve and up who are comfortable with an energetic, intelligent dog
🤝 Time to learn him and let him come out of his shell at his own speed

He may do well with a calm female dog after slow introductions, though his favorite thing is a person of his own. 💛

As with any dog moving into a new home, plan for an adjustment period and be ready to keep routines consistent while he settles in. A little patience here goes a long way with a dog like Koda. 🐾

A smart shepherd who wants a job and a person is ready to start training. Apply to adopt Koda below. 🐺🐾

🚨🐾 Police Blotter: Local Dog Suspected in Ongoing Lap Thefts, Needs a Foster or Adopter ASAP 🐾🚨

Charlie is a male mixed breed born November 3rd, 2021, turning five this week, and he is wanted for questioning in connection with a long list of stolen laps. Witnesses say he moves fast. 😄💛

Recent incident reports:

🪑 A warm seat was left empty for under a minute. Charlie arrived at speed and the seat has not been returned.
🎶 Squeaky toy noise complaints continue. Charlie is a professional and has no plans to stop.
🌳 Walks and yard time are a regular part of his routine, and he takes both seriously.
👀 He supervises his people around the house full time, with no days off.
🧠 He is crate trained, doggy door trained, and knows sit and smile on cue.

Character references say he is great with kids. He may do well with smaller dogs after proper introductions. Cats are not on his guest list, so a cat-free home is best. 🐾

Charlie is happiest right alongside his people. If you would like a part-time cuddle buddy, part-time adventure partner, and full-time household supervisor, he is ready to be taken into custody.

Even a crate and doggy door trained dog can have a few accidents while adjusting to a new place, so plan for an adjustment period and keep routines consistent while he settles in.

Fostering Charlie is free and temporary, with the rescue covering food, supplies, vet care, and support. Fosters always get first pick to adopt if they fall for him. Help him find a good spot to land. 💛

🥾🐾 Oreana Is Packing for a Big Adventure and Her Forever Family Is Invited 🐾🥾

Oreana is a female Husky mix born June 6th, 2026, part of the Dutton Ranch Litter, and at almost five months old she is working on her first real trail. Every day she finds something new to sniff, chew, or sprint toward, and her personality gets a little clearer each time. 🥹💛

Trail notes so far:

🏔️ Husky mixes tend to be smart, active, and loyal, so there is a lot of good stuff ahead
🐾 The Dutton Ranch pups have all grown into dogs people talk about for years
🌄 Her favorite spot is wherever the next discovery happens to be

Her family will want to bring patience, consistent routines, and some energy for training and play. Whoever signs on gets to be there from the very start of her story, trail dust and all.

As with any puppy settling into a new home, plan for an adjustment period and be ready to keep routines consistent while she finds her footing. A little effort now pays off later in a great hiking buddy. 🐾
