Featured Dog: Marigold – ADOPTED!

Marigold is a ball-catching superstar who loves sports and spending time with her shelter friends, especially if they like to teach her new games. A perfect day for this smart girl includes going for a jog or playing ball, rolling around in the grass for a while, stopping by a training class, then snuggling up for a nap on your lap.

She’s been learning a lot of cool stuff at the shelter like some impulse control games and leash walking. She’s a very clever girl and would benefit from additional training to burn some mental energy and keep her from boredom.

Marigold has been at the shelter for too long and could use a home where she can let herself relax and just be a dog.  She needs a family who can commit to her and see the potential of this wonderful girl when she is overenthusiastic.

If you are interested in Marigold, please come visit her in Kennel 28.

Featured Dog: Shasta

Meet Shasta! She’s just a big pup who loves to run and play. She really enjoys her walks and playing with toys but her favorite thing to do is to run and play with her dog friends in the yard.

Shasta is still young, a little under a year old, and that means she has lots of energy! But this clever girl has great impulse control and is very food motivated so training will be easy and so much fun!

All in all, this sweet girl would flourish in a home where she can get some positive training, a lot of exercise and tons of love.

Featured Dog: Hazel – ADOPTED!

This lovely lady is Hazel. She’s a calm, adult dog of 2 years old. She is one of our playgroup superstars and loves to chase and play with her friends. She enjoys other dogs but I’m sure she would love to be a spoiled only dog too.

She already has a nice sit and attention. She enjoys learning new things and picks them up very quickly. She also loves the hot dogs I had with me so training will be great fun!

Look at those freckles!

Hazel loves to play and, as you can see, squeaky toys are her favorites. She also enjoys a walk. She’s a hound, after all, and she needs to give her nose a workout too.

If you are interested in Hazel, please come visit her in Kennel 39.

Featured Dog: Gina – ADOPTED!

Gina is a fantastic pup of about 6 months old. She is just as sweet as she is cute. And look at that nice sit and attention!

This playful girl is happy to get a game of fetch going. She could also snuggle on your lap. She’s just happy to have a pal.

One of our playgroup dogs, Gina would love to have another dog to pal around with. As long as she gets lots of attention, she could be a single dog too. She’s pretty clever and loves treats and praise so training her will be a lot of fun!

If you are interested in Gina, please come visit him in Kennel 5.

Puppy Friday: Amos- ADOPTED!

If this puppy looks familiar, it’s because it’s Andrea’s littermate, Amos. He’s a little bigger and braver than his sister but he’s still all puppy. He loves to play with toys, notsomuch a tennis ball, and he likes treats. A little too scrambley for lap snuggles, Amos is pretty independent.

Would you just look at that face? He’s a heart stealer, for certain.

The grey mottling on his cheeks and in his patches is very unusual.  Just one more reason why he is special.

You know I’m going to say he’ll blossom with positive training. It’s important for puppies to get a good foundation to set them up for success.

Amos is very attentive and responds well to happy voices. He’ll be at the top of his class, for sure.

If you are interested in Amos, please come visit him in Kennel 34.

Featured Dog: Randolph- ADOPTED!

Randolph is a sweet, curious pup of about 6-months. He’s trying to figure out my camera (so am I!) but he’s not afraid!

He’s learning that good things come to dogs who sit nicely and wait and he’s building confidence every day. Like all of the puppies at the APS, he will benefit greatly from some reward-based training. He’s easy to keep engaged and enjoys treats so it should be so much fun to teach him everything he needs to be a HUGE SUCCESS.

He loves people and enjoys attention from his friends at the shelter. He has a lot!
Such a sweet mug.

And such a happy fella. All he wants to do is play, play, play. What a joy to watch!

If you are interested in Randolph, please come visit him in Kennel 10.

Puppy Friday: Andrea- ADOPTED!

This sweet little one is Andrea. She came to the shelter as a wee tiny pup with her brother, Amos. They are getting so big and they are ready to see the world outside of the shelter!

Andrea is incredibly snuggly. She loved to just hang out in my lap getting tummy rubs.
She is a little cautious of new things and needs someone to show her the ropes.

But she loves to play too. Sometimes she gets the zoomies.

Andrea is very attentive and loves treats so I’m sure she would be a puppy class superstar!

And don’t you just love the way she wears her ears?

Just as cute from the other side.

If you are interested in Andrea, please come visit her in Kennel 16.

Featured Dog: Archie- GBNF

Archie is gaining weight and feeling better and he is ready to go his forever home.

He’s also learning lots of new things abut himself.

He has learned that he loves to play ball. Well, he especially loves to carry it around but I believe he could be a retriever, with a little practice.

Archie is about 4 years old. He has a really nice outlook on life in spite of his rough start. He will blossom in a home that will help him to continue building his confidence through positive training.

Oh, and he’ll need lots of toys.

 

If you are interested in Archie, please come visit him in Kennel 17.

Featured Dog: Brandy- ADOPTED!

Can you believe Brandy’s sad face? This 4 year old Boxer/Pit Bull mix came to us malnourished and with raging ear infections. She was a site.

Thanks to the great care she’s received at the APS, she’s doing great and ready to go home.
She’s a low-key gal right now- not much for chase or fetch. She will certainly perk up once she feels secure in her new home.  She’s learning to walk nicely on a leash and I bet she would enjoy lots of long walks with her person.

She is a champion snuggler- truly one of the best. Ear and neck scratches are her most favorite and she grunts with joy when she gets them. Visit her to see for yourself.

If you are interested in Brandy, please come visit her in Kennel 7.

Featured Dog: Della – ADOPTED!

Sweet, gentle Della is a lab mix of about 2 years old. She is a fantastic dog. Sure, I say that about most every dog. But I really mean it this time. Della is a real gem.

Clearly, she was born to do agility. She loves the jumps!

She loves food treats and takes them so gently. She has nice manners already. And she was eager to show Eileen everything she knows. Training this girl will be so fun.

She already enjoys the finer things in life and would never turn down a tummy rub.

And modest. Della is not one to brag but I’ll tell you another thing. She is one of our play group dogs and would do well with a companion. But, you know, she would also like all the attention.

If you are interested in Della, please come meet her in person. She’s such a love.
