Rnager!

This 8 month old is an easy going, loyal companion! He is looking for someone to share his days of playing, cuddling and snoozing.. Along with being near his people, Ranger enjoys playing with other dogs. He loves going on walks, working on his commands and taking breaks from napping to play outside. He’s also got a silly streak. Watch out when you sneeze as Ranger will run over to make sure you’re okay! He also gets off the couch by easily placing his front paws on the ground and sliding across the floor while stretching out his back legs.

Ranger loves his outdoor space and will spend forever finding the perfect stick to show off! Ranger’s looking for a family who is mostly easy-going, but also enjoys spending time outside. He needs someone to show him that the blender and the fire alarm is not so scary!
If you are looking for a playful, people pleasing pup, Ranger is your boy!

Looking for a walking partner? Meet Gus!

Hi, I’m Gus! I’m a 1.5-year-old Lab Mix who loves playing with all kinds of dogs. My favorite activity when I’m with my canine pals is a spirited game of tug-of-war. For solo fun, I like to throw my wubba or rope into the air and sn**ch it up.
Adventure walks are my favorite! Whether we’re sniffing through trails or exploring the neighborhood, I get super excited and wiggle from head to toe. I’m also a great car rider—I hop right in and settle down nicely.
I have a short, shiny coat that sheds very little, especially compared to my foster siblings who shed a lot.. I love chewing on Benebones and snuggling on the couch. When it is time to settle down for the day, I’ll squeeze into the perfect spot next to you, no matter how small. At bedtime, I love to snuggle in the bed and I’m always happy to share your pillow.
I can be a bit shy around new people and need some time to warm up to strangers. But once I get to know you, I’m playful, quirky, cuddly, and full of playful energy. I can get a bit skittish if something spooks me, but with a little patience, I come around. Understanding my occasional shyness and seeking a loving, playful companion, I might just be the perfect new member for your family!
