Primrose Would Love a Foster

Age: 1   Sex: Female   Breed: Bulldog  Weight: 35lbs   Restrictions: Must Meet Dogs. No Young Kids.  Primrose is overwhelmed by the busyness of the shelter. She can be nervous meeting new people, but once she knows you she loves pets and leaning against you. We would love to get her out into a foster home where she can relax and show more of her true personality. She has been neutral and appropriate greeting other dogs here, but would still benefit from meeting dogs prior to going to foster. We do not have any history with her on cats, so would need ability to separate

She can be nervous meeting new people, but once she knows you she loves pets and leaning against you. We would love to get her out into a foster home where she can relax and show more of her true personality.

Enzo Wants a Foster

Age: 5   Sex: Male   Breed: Pit Mix    Weight: 62lbs    Restrictions: Must Meet Dogs. No Young Kids Enzo is a lovely guy who would enjoy getting out into a home environment instead of the busy shelter! He found the adoptions floor a little overwhelming, so is living in our back of house section where he can be more comfortable. He could potentially live with other dogs after a meet at the shelter. We do not have any history on him with cats, so will need the ability to separate and slowly introduce in the home. Enzo is a friendly guy, but would do

Once she is comfortable with someone, she loves attention and cuddling! She did come in with another dog, but can also be nervous meeting new dogs, so would need to meet at the shelter prior to going to foster. We do not have any history of her with cats, so fosters would need the ability to separate and follow slow introductions in the home. She would do best in a home with older kids due to her nervousness. How to Foster Virburnum:

Age: 2   Sex: Male   Breed: Pit Mix    Weight: 55lbs    Restrictions: Must Meet Dogs. No Kids Rocklee is one of our guys on the adoptions floor that can get overwhelmed by the people and stimuli. He’s been happily engaging with enrichment items such as cardboard boxes to shred and nylabones with frozen peanut butter smeared on it. He has met a dog here in our care and was nervous during interactions, so he should meet dogs prior to foster and may do best as an only dog. Discretion should be used with cats due to lack of history. Rocklee should not go with kids
