Age: 2   Sex: Female  Breed: Pitt Mix  Weight: 64lbs    Restrictions: Must Meet Dogs. No Kids.  Tarragon is a friendly girl, who has a lot of energy and enjoys time playing fetch in our play yards. She has been at the shelter since the end of February, and would love a chance to get out of the shelter for a little while or until she is adopted! She did arrive to the shelter with another dog and her four puppies, but may be happiest as the only dog in the home. She would need to meet any dog siblings prior to going to foster. Tarragon can be jumpy

He is a friendly, people-oriented guy who walks nicely on leash! He’s quite food motivated (arrived to the shelter quite skinny) and is eager to work on basic cues to keep his brain busy, and loves all kinds of food enrichment as well! Although Mumble has not shown reactivity on leash during his time at the shelter, he is uncomfortable interacting

Fauna Is Seeking Foster

Age: 1   Sex: Female  Breed: Cane Corso Weight: 75lbs    Restrictions: Must Meet Dogs. No Kids.  Fauna is a nervous lady who is overwhelmed by the shelter environment, even in our quieter back of house area. She seeks affection when she is comfortable with someone. During her time here so far, she has walked nicely on leash aside from occasionally being startled by something outside. She is pretty nervous/avoidant about people reaching toward her collar, but has been getting out on walks using a leash that stays attached to her collar. We are hoping she will be more comfortable and be able to work on desensitization

Delta Wants A Foster

Age: 1   Sex: Female  Breed: Pitt Mix  Weight: 74lbs    Restrictions: Must Meet Dogs. No Kids.  Delta is a wiggly and friendly girl when meeting people outside, but she struggles with barrier reactivity from frustration at people passing her when she is stuck inside her kennel. She has done well on buddy walks with another dog here, but would need to meet any potential dog siblings prior to going to foster. She has shown some prey drive toward birds here, so may do best in a home without cats, or will need a foster with the ability to separate and follow slow introduction protocols. We do not

Sansa Needs a New Foster

Age: 7   Sex: Female  Breed: DSH   Weight: 10lbs    Restrictions: No Cats. Sansa is a sweet but very nervous girl who was not eating well while in our care. She needs a quieter, calmer place to relax so that she can regain some confidence and start eating a bit better. She currently lives in her own room in a foster home with other cats and does well. She does not seem bothered by the other cats but will need to be kept separated to eliminate any unnecessary stress and possible cause of litterbox issues. Her current foster lives very far away so is hoping to have

Hydrangea Needs a Foster

Age: 2   Sex: Female  Breed: Pitt Mix  Weight: 55lbs    Restrictions: Must Meet Dogs. No Cats. No Kids.  Hydrangea is a high energy girl who is overwhelmed by the busy shelter environment. She’d much prefer a quiet yard where she can run off that energy with a game of fetch (or two.. or three..) We have noted reactivity towards both people (particularly men) and dogs in the shelter environment and would need a foster with experience in handling both. A quieter environment for her to sniff and explore would be great for helping her decompress and let us see who she is in a home!

She is eager to learn and food motivated. She does not have much history around other animals and would benefit from meeting any foster dog siblings before going out to foster. She has no history with cats and would benefit from slow intro with initial separation. Due to her energy level and jumpy, excitable behavior, she would do best with older children. How to Foster Akira: New fosters can take

Age: 4   Sex: Female  Breed: Siberian Husky  Weight: 55lbs    Restrictions: No Dogs. No cats. No kids.  Vanilla bean is a nervous girl who may be deaf. She is uncomfortable around other dogs, so the shelter and kennel life is quite stressful for her. We would like to get her to a foster home, preferably with a yard or quiet neighborhood where she can not constantly be seeing dogs (she will bark at dogs). She has been successful in buddy walking with another dog with a large space between the two, but should not live with another dog due to her fear. No

Bailey Wants a Foster

Age: 3   Sex: Female  Breed: Siberian Husky  Weight: 56lbs    Restrictions: None Bailey is an owner surrender who is easily overwhelmed by the loud goings-on. He has taken some extra time to make friends since he’s a nervous guy, but is a sweetheart once you’ve earned his trust! He has history of living with another dog but may do best meeting other dogs due to his nervous nature. Bailey also has a history of living with cats and would do best with calmer, dog-savvy cats int the home. Discretion should be used with kids 5 and under due to his nervousness and high energy levels.
