Male Dog aged Young Adult.
**Liam Hemsworth will only be available for private meets. He will not attend Saturday adoption events**
Meet Liam Hemsworth a.k.a Henry!
Around 3 1/2 years old
55 lbs
Neutered Male
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Kids: unknown
Housetrained: Mostly and has learned the dog door!
Leash trained and crate trained: Yes!
This boy is a high energy dog, but walks well on leash, although will pull when he sees another dog. Likes going to dog parks and will play fetch all day long. He is crate trained and very food motivated so is easy to train and learns commands quickly. He does like to jump on people, so will need some work on preventing the jumping. We think small children may not be a fit due to his jumping habits and energy level. He could use a lot of property to run and play and especially loves to play in water whether it is a lake or a pool. Please submit an application if you would like to meet this sweet, smart and friendly boy.

Tucker is a fun, happy boy who’s beginning to settle into training nicely. He’s showing great curiosity about his surroundings and a willingness to engage once he’s had time to take everything in. As he continues to gain structure and consistency, his focus and responsiveness will only improve.
Tucker’s sits are already very solid, he responds quickly and with enthusiasm. His downs are still a work in progress; he’ll sometimes follow the lure and settle for a few seconds before popping back up, especially when there’s a lot going on around him. We’re continuing to build duration and reliability in this command with short, successful repetitions to keep him engaged.
He can be excitable, occasionally jumping up for attention, but he’s learning that calm behavior earns praise and rewards.
Tucker’s recall has improved since his previous session. Working on a short leash, he’s already showing more attentiveness and quicker turnarounds when called. When distracted by scents, he may still need a little leash guidance, but he’s catching on quickly. Out at the park, his name recognition was strong for a new environment — he responded happily to most recalls, and when he needed help, a gentle leash assist was all it took to bring his attention back.
At the park, we focused heavily on loose leash walking since Tucker is naturally strong and eager to explore. Any time he hit the end of the leash, we practiced direction changes and short resets to encourage him to check in and follow along. By the end of the walk, he began to settle into the rhythm, walking more calmly at his handler’s side.
Tucker enjoyed taking in all the sights and smells at Johnson Springview. He’s very curious and observant but remains non-reactive — even when a neighbor’s dog barked at him from behind a fence, he simply looked and carried on. We spent time at a bench working on settling; within a few minutes, he chose to lay down on his own and calmly watched the world go by. This was a great sign of progress and growing comfort with stillness in busy environments.
Tucker is a sweet, social boy who’s starting to balance his natural enthusiasm with structure and self-control. His focus is improving each session, and he’s building a stronger connection with his handler. He’s making good progress, with time and routine, Tucker will continue to flourish!

**Vito will only be available for private meets. He will not attend Saturday adoption events**
Meet Vito!
Sex: Male
Age: 10 Months
Weight: About 38 lbs
Crate Trained: Yes!
Potty Trained: Work in progress, needs to be on a structured schedule.
Leash Trained: Work in progress and improving!
Dogs: Yes!
Cats: Would do best with dog savvy cats
Kids: Probably 10 years or older due to his puppy exuberance.
My name is Vito! And I’ve been working hard on my training. I’m getting really reliable with my sits and downs, whether I’m in front or at my handler’s side. I can usually hold my stays for 45–60 seconds at 20–30 feet, and in quieter places I can stretch that to a couple of minutes. Busy spots sometimes make me creep forward, but I’m learning to settle with practice.
My heel work is coming along well. I like to start out ahead, but I settle into position quickly with reminders. I’m straighter at the side now and staying more focused, even when we pass people, kids, dogs, or bikes. I check in often and follow pace and direction changes nicely.
Recalls are one of my strengths. On long lines I’ll sprint right back, even from 40–50 feet, and I finish with a focused sit. In really busy areas, sometimes I pause for a smell or person, but with a little help I remember what I’m supposed to do.
I’m curious by nature, so distractions catch my eye, but I’m learning “leave it” and getting better at responding to just a verbal cue. Settling in busy places like malls or near fountains is getting easier—I can now stay down longer even when there’s a lot going on!!
I’ve had lots of exposure to new things: playgrounds, statues, fountains, crowds, even the big bear at Bass Pro. I was cautious at first, but with encouragement I gain confidence quickly.
With other dogs I’m playful and polite, and that’s helping me stay neutral when I see them during training. I’m also doing well with my routine. I settle in the crate, I’ve been accident free for a minute!
Overall, I’m a social, eager pup who loves working with my handler. My recall and heel are improving steadily, my impulse control is getting stronger, and I’m building confidence everywhere I go. With consistency and practice, I’m well on my way to becoming a reliable and well-mannered companion.

Female Dog aged Young Adult.
This girl is up for adoption, and boy is she a superstar 🤩

25Charlene Darling (aka Moey or Mojo)
Breed: Shepherd/Basenji Mix
Age: Approximately 1 Year Old
Weight: 45 lbs
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Unknown, but based on her sweet and gentle temperament I would say yes!
House Trained: Yes, uses dog door and will signal at the door if dog door is closed
Crate Trained: Not a fan, but will go in, whine at first, then settle
Leash Trained: Yes
Charlene Darling (we call her Moey or Mojo) is an incredibly sweet, gentle and loving dog. When she first arrived from the shelter, she was very shy and nervous, had never used stairs or dog doors, was scared of going inside the house and did not understand playing with toys. This girl is a completely different dog now! She is running up and down stairs, charging through dog doors, playing like crazy with her foster brother and toys, and loves being with her people inside and outside. She absolutely adores her foster brother (the feeling is mutual 😀) and they are pretty much inseparable. Our resident dog definitely expedited the learning and “coming out of her shell” process. She would love another dog in the house, but I believe she would also be ok as the only dog, as long as she gets lots of love! She is medium energy and will match the energy and play style of another dog. She has met dogs of all sizes and done great. She has not been exposed to cats in her foster home, but I think she would be fine with a cat with a slow introduction. There are no children in her foster home, however based on her sweet and gentle nature, she would most likely be great with children. She is not a finicky eater and loves treats. She rides well in the car, but is a little nervous about getting in, though she is really improving. She loves going for walks, but does need some work on pulling while on leash. She is easy to live with, hardly ever barks, and is very well behaved in the house. She can be left loose in the house (minus a few rooms closed off) with our resident dog for several hours. The best part, she is a TOTAL snuggle bug ❤️ Whoever adopts this girl is going to be so happy!

25Zoe
Female
Chihuahua/mix
Approximately 8 months old
Approximately 10 lbs.
Crate Trained: Yes
House Trained: Yes
Dogs: Yes
Kids: No
Cats: Unknown
Zoe is a fun and loving dog. She gets along with large and small dogs. Once she settles, she loves curling up on your lap or just lay next to her humans. She had not been around cats or children at her our home; however, she is VERY energetic and mouthy; hence, we don’t recommend younger children. When outside, she stays near us or watches us while we do yard work.
She is crate trained and sleeps inside the crate at night. She seems to be housebroken as she has not had any accidents inside the house. It does help that we have her on regular potty breaks every couple hours. She did have “excitement” pee when she got startled. This sweet dogs deserves a family who will shower her with love.
