Learn More
Bullet is a calm, sweet pup. He loves his people and warms up very quickly. He is happy to jump on the couch and cuddle. He is not hyper, but he still likes to play with toys every once in a while. 
Energy Level? Low energy but not a lazy bum.  
House trained? Yes
Describe how they are on a leash? Great on leash. 
Describe how they are with other dogs? Happy to hang out with other dogs, but doesn't usually play with them; happy to coexist with dogs.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Doesn't seem reactive to other animals 
Commands they know? Knows shake, maybe wait or sit
What are their favorite things? Going on walks and cuddling.
What do they need to work on? He gets excited and barks at new people who enter the house, but he quickly calms down and loves everyone.
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He might whine a little and cry, but stops eventually and is fine being home alone.
Where do they sleep? He sleeps in a dog bed but would love to cuddle with you on the bed.
What is their ideal home? Bullet would be great for a family that is home a lot but wants to keep him active on his daily walks. He is very low maintenance and chill, and he loves everyone he meets. He bonds with females very quickly, but he likes men too. He did great on a long road trip, so he's great for someone who travels with him, too. Whoever adopts him is going to have the most perfect little boy!

Chewy

Age:    7 years old      
Breed: Maltese/Poodle Mix  
Weight:  8 pounds
Sex: (N) Male
​
Adoption Fee: $325 
Learn More
Chewy is an incredibly sweet and mellow little guy. He adores being petted and uses his whole body to show his appreciation. His favorite place is snuggled up next to his people anytime they sit or lie down. I can't say enough about how lovely and good a boy he is. 
Energy Level? Medium
House trained? Mostly. We are primarily using belly bands, and he stays dry inside and knows what to do outside. He may need some patience and support as he acclimates to a new home and new routine.
Describe how they are on a leash? Walks beautifully on a leash - heels well, doesn't pull, and is happy to go as long as you're able. Not reactive to other dogs or squirrels he encounters on his walks. 
Describe how they are with other dogs? Gets along very well with our three small resident dogs—patient, gentle, and non-reactive. We keep them separate at feeding time because he is highly food-motivated.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? He met one cate and ignored him. I suspect he would be fine living with a cat in the home. Does not seem interested in chasing squirrels.
Commands they know? Comes when called, goes potty when asked, and does a sweet little dance when his meals are served.
What are their favorite things? Snuggles, pets, love, and food. 
What do they need to work on? Potty training. He is a pretty perfect little gentleman.
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? Chewy is crate-trained and snuggles up in his crate with his blanket when we need to leave the house. He will bark or react to noise, like our resident dogs, but he calms down quickly.
Where do they sleep? Chewy is happiest snuggled up with his people. He would love to find a home where he is welcome in the big bed.
What is their ideal home? Chewy would do well in a home with lots of love, attention, and regular walks. He is very patient and gentle with kids, visitors, and other dogs. He loves being close to his people, getting lots of pets, and being told what a good boy he is. He is a wonderful companion and will bring lots of joy to his forever family.

Atti

Age:    3 years old      
Breed: Terrier/Chihuahua Mix  
Weight:  13 pounds
Sex: (N) Male
​
Adoption Fee: $325 
Learn More
Atti is a very playful young dog.  He loves toys and is highly praise-motivated.  He loves people and other dogs.
Energy Level? High
House trained? About 90%
Describe how they are on a leash? Amazing.  Atti walks to the left and one step behind.  The only time he needs correction is if he gets excited to see another dog. However, if you say his name he gets back to heel.
Describe how they are with other dogs? Overall good.  He is young and full of energy, so he sometimes annoys the resident middle-aged dog.  There was only one tiff over chew sticks.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? unknown
Commands they know? Nothing 100%, but he seems to know "No," "Leave it," "Down," and "Off."  He responds to them about 60-70% of the time, and I know he could learn other things easily with time and focus.
What are their favorite things? He loves toys, playing fetch, and curling up under a blanket on the couch.  And in general, just positive attention.
What do they need to work on? Atti will take things off the tables if he can reach them.  He is also a chewer.  He hasn't chewed anything he isn't supposed to, but he will need chews and toys.  
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He's been left alone for a few hours at a time in an exercise pen.  He has a little separation anxiety and does cry at least when I leave and when he hears you come home until you let him out.
Where do they sleep? In an exercise pen in another room.  On the first couple of nights, he cried for about an hour, but since then, he has settled in easily.  I know he would love to sleep in the room with you if you'd allow it.
What is their ideal home? Atti loves attention and is high-energy.  He'd do well in a home with one or more people who could spend a lot of time with him playing, going on multiple walks, and even just hanging out.  He does like other dogs and will play with them as well.

Cisco

Age:    6 years old      
Breed: Chihuahua Mix  
Weight:  7 pounds
Sex: (N) Male
​
Adoption Fee: $325 
Learn More
Cisco is a playful, affectionate, happy little guy who enjoys chasing balls (his favorite) or small plushy toys, sofa cuddle time, long walks, playing at the dog park, treats, and mealtimes. He needs a little time to build trust with his humans before his wonderfully sweet and cuddly personality comes out. The short wait is so worth it!
Energy Level? Medium 
House trained? Yes
Describe how they are on a leash? Cisco pulls a bit on the leash, but otherwise does very well. 
Describe how they are with other dogs? He generally ignores other dogs at first, but when he encounters one he feels comfortable with, he initiates play. If Cisco feels the other dog has crossed a boundary by playing too roughly, he will try to correct them. He's small but mighty!
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? He's good with respectful dogs. He has met one dod savvy cat, and he initially barked at him. 
Commands they know? Sit
What are their favorite things? 
Playing fetch with balls (his favorite) or small plushy toys, sofa cuddle time, long walks, playing at the dog park, treats, and mealtimes.
What do they need to work on? Building confidence with new people, and would benefit from more obedience training. He is a very smart little guy and would learn quickly.
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He's fine being left alone. He will sleep. 
Where do they sleep? He is fine sleeping in a crate or just on a bed on the floor.
What is their ideal home? He would do well in a quiet, adult-only household, either as an only dog or with other respectful dogs.

Spunk is a COMPLETE sweetheart. He can be shy at first when he first meets people and may yield a submissive wee. Once he realizes you are safe, all he wants to do is love you and give you kisses. He loves scritches and pets. When he’s comfortable, he will follow you around and lie against you. He wants as much attention as he can get, but on his terms. 
Energy Level? Low/Medium
House trained? Yes. Just watch him closely the first few days. In a new place, he will want to mark. Once he is comfortable and feels safe, the marking went away completely. 
Describe how they are on a leash? We are still working on leash training. At first, he did the alligator roll when he felt the slightest tug on the leash, but after just a few days, he no longer does this, and will walk well short distances. It will take no time at all for him to be comfortable going on long walks. He loves to be outside!
Describe how they are with other dogs? Spunk is a happy-go-lucky pup and loves to hang out with and initiate play with other dogs. If a dog shows that he/she is not interested, then Spunk just walks away politely.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? NA
Commands they know? Sit
What are their favorite things? Being by their person. Food motivated
What do they need to work on? Submissive peeing, being handled. Walking on a leash for longer periods of time. He is also very shy around new people, so you need to go slow until trust is established.
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? Spunk is fine being left alone. He has been left alone for about 5-6 hrs.
Where do they sleep? In a crate or on a dog bed
What is their ideal home? Spunk would do well in any home with or without other dog(s).  He would prefer to be in a house with someone around most of the time, but I think he would be able to adjust to a full-time working family, too. Spunk may need a bit of time to adjust. He prefers a calm environment.
