Mischief (A504718)
You know you’re in for a barrel of laughs with a dog named Mischief! This handsome two-year-old lab mix was voted Most Popular Dog while out with our mobile adoption team. He met a ton of admirers at the Wiggle Waggle Walk, and basked in all the attention from kids, other dogs, and everyone who visited.
He has a lovable and affectionate personality and is known to crawl into your lap for snuggles and kisses. Mischief also knows some basic commands already and is happy to show them off for the right treat (or toy). He is eager to please, so further training with him should be a breeze.
He is a very active guy, so if you’re looking for a running or hiking buddy, or maybe a dog to do agility, Mischief is your man!
The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
New
adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA
Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about
how to care for your pet. View photos of adoptable pets and

Doodalina is a 1-year-old spayed Doberman Pinscher mix who is full of fun! Her unique name comes from her silly smile that made us think she is an artistic doodle come to life. We love how she happily bounces around the play yard, tossing toys in the air, investigating every bit of fuzz she can find and generally acting like a rambunctious puppy, which of course, she is. Doodalina weighs about 65 pounds but is likely still growing. She knows a couple of commands and seems ready and willing to learn more (as long as that bit of fuzz doesn’t distract her).

Spots is our well-rounded good boy. He enjoys spending as much time with his human friends, as he enjoys playing with his canine ones in our dog playgroups. Spots is very fond of peanut butter Kongs and long sessions of tug-o-war. He is always excited when he meets new people and loves to greet with kisses. Belly rubs are a great way to give him some loving and he enjoys car rides. He can be weary around large men but he usually warms up with enough hot dogs. He has been in our care for 162 days and is very eager to find his home.
