Good With Dogs: Yes! She loves her foster brother
Housetrained: In process

A puppy is a lot of work so her new family will need to be prepared for this. She is very food motivated which will help with her training. She loves to give kisses and snuggle. Be prepared to open your heart!

Harley

Harley

Breed: Border Collie/Sheltie mix
Breed Information: Harley has definitely inherited the Border Collie herding instinct
Sex: Female, spayed
Estimated Birthdate: September 2018
Size: Medium, 29 pounds
Good With Kids: Yes, but they need to be at least 8 years old
Good With Cats: No
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Harley prefers to be with older children whose behaviors are more predictable. She doesn’t like loud noises or sudden, unpredictable movements. She is uneasy around new people and needs slow introductions. She would prefer a calm, quiet environment. A fenced yard would be great but it is not required. She would love a window where she can watch squirrels.

Additional Information: Harley is the biggest snuggler. She loves nothing more than to curl up in a ball on your lap or roll over for a belly rub. Harley seems to like other dogs but she will do fine as the only dog in the home. If she had to choose between a dog buddy and a person; her person would win every time. She is great on a leash! She does get excited when she sees a squirrel, but has learned the “leave it” command.

Petey

Petey

Breed: Jack Russell Terrier mix
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: 3/15/2020
Size: Small, 22 pounds
Good With Kids: Unknown but most likely yes. The children will need to avoid touching his ears until the infections are gone
Good With Cats: Unknown
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Petey likes to follow his nose. He will enjoy taking walks with plenty of stops for sniffing. Luckily, he is really good on a leash. His new home MUST have plenty of tennis balls for chasing. He likes meeting new people and is very friendly. He enjoys spending time with his person and doesn’t like to be left alone.

Additional Information: Petey is doing well learning his commands; he knows sit, stay, down, leave it, come, stand, and sit pretty. Petey has some skin issues that we are currently treating. We’re waiting for his hair to fill in on his back end. He also had severe ear infections when we brought him in. Poor guy wasn’t feeling well and wasn’t very interested in playing with other dogs. We think that he may have been worried about them hurting his sore ears. He gets nervous on car rides and needs to learn that they don’t always mean going to the vet.

Trixie

Breed: Feist
Sex: Female, spayed
Estimated Birth Date: 1/12/2021
Size: Small, 20 pounds
Good With Kids: Unknown but most likely yes
Good With Cats: Unknown. Feists are trackers and may chase a cat
Good With Dogs: Yes

She loves meeting new people and making new friends.

Additional Information: Trixie is very intelligent; she already knows a number of commands. She is good on a leash but does need some additional training. Her new family will have to establish that they are the packleader, not her. Her handler says that she is a very fun and energetic dog. She loves to play and work for her treats.

Peaches

Peaches

Breed: Wire Haired Terrier mix
Sex: Female, spayed
Estimated Birth Date: 12/1/2016
Size: Small. She weighs 36 pounds but needs to be 25
Good With Kids: Possibly
Good With Cats: Unknown
Good With Dogs: Fine, but not interested in playing
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Peaches will do best in a calm and quiet home with one or possibly two humans. She hasn’t been well socialized so doesn’t enjoy company or loud noises. Since she is a velcro dog, her person shouldn’t be gone for long periods of time. She’s not really interested in playing with other dogs but has lived with other dogs in the past. She LOVES her walks which will be helpful in trying to get her to a healthy weight. She has lived with a child in the home but would probably be best without one in the home as she adjusts to her new life.

Additional Information: Peaches was surrendered because her owner was having some health issues and could no longer care for her. Peaches was raised with another dogs but wasn’t exposed to other people or dogs outside the home. She is a little nervous meeting new people but is very attached to her person. She knows some commands-sit, leave it, come, gentle, no, inside, outside. She is terrified of fireworks; her new owner will have to be very careful with her on the 4th of July.
