Ruby

Breed:  Yorkshire Terrier Mix
Sex:  Female (spay surgery has been scheduled)
Estimated Birthdate:  February 2019
Size:  Toy, under 7 pounds
Good With Kids:  We haven’t tested her but feel that children over 10 would be best
Good With Cats:  We haven’t tested her
Good With Dogs:  Not at all
House trained:  Mostly.  She will go outside but hasn’t learned to signal yet
Crate trained:  In process.  She will go in if her people are home but will bark when left alone
Recommended Environment: Ruby needs to be the only dog in the home.  She will do best with older children as sudden noises and movements tend to startle her.  Since she is still getting used to a crate, she wouldn’t do well in an apartment where her barking will annoy her neighbors.  At this point she needs to go out every 2-3 hours to avoid accidents inside, so she needs someone that is not gone for long periods of time.
Additional Information:  Ruby is very affectionate and loves to cuddle and give kisses.  She has an impressive vertical jump and likes to pretend to dig and hide her toys.  She likes to go on walks but will need some more leash training.  She does like being the center of attention.

Gretchen

Breed: Silver Lab mix
Sex: Female, spay surgery has been scheduled
Estimated Birth Date: March 2020
Size: 47 pounds
Good With Kids: yes
Good With Cats: We were told she was
Good With Dogs: yes! She loves having a playmate
House trained: Almost. She will whine at the door and is learning to ring a bell. Sleeps through the night with no accidents
Crate trained: She doesn’t really like it but will settle in. She slept in her crate initially but decided that she would rather sleep in bed with her foster
Recommended Environment: She is a smart girl that will benefit from some training. She likes to learn. Due to her puppy energy, she will benefit from a routine (especially one with plenty of play time!). She might do best with another dog in the home.
Additional Information: Gretchen is happy and playful. She is also a real snuggler. She was never allowed outside before we got her so she is a little timid when alone in the yard.
*In a foster home.*

Megan

Megan is a 38 lb, 7 month old Lab/Retriever mix puppy. She is such a lover. She loves her toys and loves them more when she is touching people while she plays. She is really smart and would benefit from training activities – she is very good motivated and likes training activities! She is also good at entertaining herself.

She is a busy chewer. We have lots of chew toys around to keep her busy. Outside, she does a lot of exploring with her mouth – she may have some hound in her! Megan is still potty training and is easily distracted. Megan is good with other dogs, but we always encourage she meet other fur-siblings before adoption. She has not been tested with cats.

Megan is crate trained, and she loves her crate and goes in by herself when she’s tired. She is always happy to meet someone who will pet her. Megan is learning her leash manners, as her busy nose and distractibility keeps her from always simply moving forward.

Megan would do best in most homes, but she really does like kids and other dogs, so a home with two and/or four legged siblings would be best. She really likes the outdoors, so an outdoor active home would be best. There really isn’t much Megan doesn’t like, she just really wants to be around her people!
