Bruno
Bruno is a friendly, happy-go-lucky 1 - 1.5 year old possible lab / shepherd mix that weighs 62 lbs. He can be perfectly described as social, sweet, fun and playful. His social butterfly demeanor allows him to make both human and dog friends everywhere he goes, and he loves everyone he meets right away. He is very polite when meeting new friends and waits patiently for an invitation to get some cuddles and back scratches. He is very affectionate and never turns down a chance to cuddle. He will not overwhelm you with tons of doggy licks, but he does appreciate a nice belly rub while lying next to his human on the couch. He really is just happy being with his humans wherever they want to be - whether it's hanging out at home or going on fun outdoor adventures like hiking or exploring nature trails, Bruno is always up to join. His playful spirit and zest for life are evident in every activity he undertakes, bringing endless joy and excitement to everyone's lives that he interacts with.
Bruno is medium energy and is always up for engaging in exciting activities, but he's also happy to curl up on the couch with his human for snuggle time or nap on the patio soaking up the sunshine. His spunky personality shines through in everything he does, especially when he is chasing toys or playing tug-o-war during playtime. Once he is done burning that young pup energy, he loves to cuddle and snore away on the couch or his favorite dog bed. He easily winds down for his naps, but the minute you tell him you're ready to go on another adventure, he's up and ready to join you wherever you want to take him. He would love to have a big toy box full of dog toys in his forever home, and this is a great way to keep him busy when you're working from home. He loves to play with all types of toys, like tennis balls, puzzle toys, stuffed animals, and loves to have many to choose from while playing. He is incredibly agile and possesses impressive jumping abilities, so he would be a great pup to do agility activities with. He loves to be outdoors exploring nature, so if you're looking for the perfect hiking or running partner, Bruno is the pup for you.
Bruno is dog and kid friendly, but has not yet been introduced to cats inside the home. He is quite sociable and loves dogs of all ages, sizes, and both sexes. He really enjoys interacting with female dogs and small dogs, especially when they're ready to play. His demeanor is particularly affectionate towards other male dogs as long as they are open to his silly, playful personality and have a laid back temperament. He tends to avoid dominant male dogs, and he tries to remain respectful of their boundaries. He thrives on socialization and play, making him the perfect companion for adventures in the park or play dates with other dogs. He did not mind cats he's seen outside on his walks, but it is unknown if this silly, playful boy would do well with them inside a home. When it comes to humans, he loves them all. He is very gentle when it comes to taking treats and will even sit pretty while he waits patiently to be rewarded a yummy doggy cookie. He adores the 5 year old human kid in his foster home, and loves to follow him around and sneak in cuddles every chance he gets. His sweet, silly temperament would be perfect for a family with kids of all ages, and he would love to have little humans to play and cuddle with. The more human hands to give him belly rubs, the better.
Bruno is potty trained, leash trained, and kennel trained. He sleeps in a kennel every night with no fuss, but he would love to sleep either with his human or on a dog bed next to his human's bed every night. He is not destructive when left out of the kennel, but just don't leave out some yummy snacks that are in his reach because he may help himself if left unattended for a long period of time. He is a true gentleman on a leash and loves to go on walks so that he can explore the outdoors. He loves to stop and sniff on his walks, and will observe things around him, but he will remain focused on walking if his human continues on. His ideal home environment would be a house with a fenced in backyard that he can run around and play in, and if there are human kiddos for him to play with, too, then that's a major plus. He would be fine being the only dog in the home as long as he gets plenty of outside playtime and exercise, and gets to have puppy play dates frequently since he loves his doggy friends, too.

Gia
Gia is a super sweet, laid back 10-11 month old terrier mix that weighs 50 lbs. She is estimated to be around 60 lbs once she finishes growing. This major cuddle bug loves nothing more than to be with her human and dog friends. She is a social butterfly that blends in with any environment she is in. She is very affectionate and enjoys curling up on the couch for cuddles every chance she gets. She will sneak in some sweet puppy kisses when she is getting belly rubs and give pibble nibbles to show that she appreciates your lovin'. She is easily self entertained with a toy box full of toys and chewies if you work from home, but the minute play time is initiated, she is ready to join in on the fun. She loves to go on car rides and walks, and is the perfect pup for a family that enjoys outdoor adventures hiking or exploring nature. Her perfectly submissive demeanor allows her to make dog friends everywhere she goes, too. If you're someone that wants a dog that you can take for leisurely strolls at the park, hang out with at friends' houses, weekend brunch dates, or fun trips to the beach, Gia is your girl.
Gia is low to medium energy, so she will need a couple of leisurely walks or play sessions each day. If you're up for longer outdoor adventures like hiking on the weekends, she will always be happy to join you. You can expect the usual pittie zoomies when she gets really excited, but after a few zooms around the room or yard, she's back to being a laid back couch potato. You can usually find her curled up on the couch or dog bed with her favorite chewy and toys after a quick exercise session, then before you know it, she will be snoring away having sweet puppy dreams. She loves to hang out on the porch or in the grass sunbathing, and is always happy to say hello to the neighbors walking by when she's hanging out on the front porch while her foster mom does yard work. If you work from home, just give her a toy box full of toys and chews, and Gia will keep herself busy while you work. She loves puzzle games that involve food, bully sticks and Nylabones to chew on, and any toy you offer her. She won't tear up the stuffed toys, but is a bit of a messy eater when she's eating a chew. Don't worry though, she will clean up after herself when she's done. She is very food motivated and has picked up on many new tricks in her foster home such as sit, paw, kennel, and lay down. She can even do hand shakes with both paws. She loves to learn new things and will do just about anything for a yummy treat.
Gia is dog and kid friendly, but has not yet been introduced to cats yet. She is very submissive and social, loves dogs of all ages, sizes, and both sexes. She is currently in a foster home with small dogs and large dogs that range in age from 1 year old to 12 years old. She adapts her play style to whichever dog she is playing with, and knows how to be gentle with the senior dog in the home and the small dogs. When other dogs communicate that they don't want to play with her, she will immediately roll over onto her back in a submissive pose then walks away to find a toy to entertain herself with. When it comes to humans, this girl loves them all. She is very sweet and gentle when taking treats, and doesn't mind when a human interacts with her while she eats. In fact, she loves to get booty scratches and belly rubs while she chews on her favorite bones. She would love to have human kids in her forever home, but due to her size and happy wiggle bit, it is recommended no small toddlers or babies that she could accidentally knock over.
Gia is potty trained, leash trained, and kennel trained. She sleeps in a kennel every night with a couple of her favorite stuffed animals and a chewy, but she would love to sleep in bed with her human in her forever home. She is not destructive when left out of the kennel and will not tear things up if left alone, and will help herself to her toy box to keep herself busy with toys and chews if she gets bored. She loves to go on walks and is so polite when coming across other people and dogs. She wants to say hello to everyone when she's out and about, so her foster mom is working on teaching her that not every dog or person wants to interact with her. She is getting better at remaining focused on walking and allowing other people and dogs to pass her by without stopping to say hello. When she starts to get really excited, her foster mom just has to show her a dog treat, then Gia immediately sits down and focuses on that instead.
Her ideal home environment would be a house with a fenced in backyard that she can run around and play in. She would do fine in an apartment, condo, or townhouse as long as she gets multiple walks per day and has a fenced in area that she can do her zoomies in. She would be fine being the only dog in the home as long as she gets plenty of outside playtime and exercise, but she would really love to have another playful dog in the home to have a companion.

Stanley
Stanley, aka Stan the Man, is a silly, sweet 7 month old terrier mix that weighs 25 lbs. He is estimated to be around 40 lbs once he is fully grown. He is a super affectionate pup who loves to adore his humans and be adored by his humans. His foster mom describes him as being silly, playful, loving, energetic, smart and irresistible. He always has a big smile on his face and lights up the room with his silly personality. He loves every dog he meets, and immediately initiates play time with a perfect, gentlemanly play bow. He is spunky, playful, and loves to socialize with other dogs. He always keeps his two furry foster sisters on their toes and looks for every chance to start a game of tug-o-war, chase, or keep-away. When he's not playing with his doggy friends, he is not far from his human. When he's ready for snuggle time, he loves to put his head on your lap first as if he is waiting for you to invite him up for some cuddles. Then he will nestle himself under your arm, put one paw on your lap, and fall fast asleep. This sweet boy is the perfect mix of active and laid back, and he would be the perfect pup for someone who enjoys going on adventures exploring the outdoors and then cuddling up on the couch after for snuggle sessions.
Stanley is low to medium energy, so he is pretty mellow with short bursts of energy that are easily burned with short exercise sessions such as play time in the backyard or longer, leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. He loves to be outdoors and you can usually find him sunbathing on the deck after a play session with the resident dogs in his foster home. He also loves to people watch with his foster mom in the front yard after his walks, and this is a great way for him to also work on socialization with the outside world and meet the neighbors, too. He enjoys learning new things and has been very motivated for moving outside of his comfort zone during training sessions with the help of some yummy treats. He would love to go on adventures exploring nature, but would prefer not to be in large crowds of people, such as walking on busy sidewalks in a big city or going in a dog-friendly store full of people (yet). Although he really loves to meet other dogs and new people, he can be a bit shy at first with new people. He will approach slowly to check them out before turning into a wiggly, happy pup again. He quickly warms up to them though as long as he is introduced to a few people at a time in a comfortable setting, and he is even more eager to say "hello" when they have his favorite treats. When it comes to dogs, he's happy to meet them anywhere, anytime, and loves them all. His ideal family would be fun and adventurous, loves the outdoors, and prefers spending time in nature over the big city life.
Stanley is leash trained and kennel trained, and potty trained. He loves to go on walks and is very comfortable walking on the leash. He does sleep in a kennel at night and stays asleep all night. He does love cuddling with his human in bed before bedtime though so he can get in some extra snuggles before he calls it a night and goes in his kennel. Sometimes he even gets to sleep in bed with his foster mom, and he sleeps throughout the night snuggled up in her arms. He has mastered his potty training, but still needs to be taken out every few hours to prevent accidents. He does really well with a consistent schedule and would do great if he has a doggy door to use whenever he needs a quick potty break. He is very smart and picks up on routines quickly. He is very treat motivated and takes food gently from your hand. He likes to hold your hand in his mouth very gently when he gets excited, but never bites down. He is working on learning to grab a toy now instead so that he can get lots of pets and back scratches since he knows you'll need your hands to give him lovin'.
Stanley is dog friendly and kid friendly, but he hasn't been introduced to cats yet without a leash on. He is very silly and playful, and hasn't shown any signs of prey drive, so slow introductions to a resident kitty in the home are recommended. Since he is still young, having a baby gate up to allow the kitty to escape from his puppy antics when needed is recommended until they get acclimated to each other. When it comes to dogs, he loves them all. He is in a foster home with both large and small dogs, and got to have play time with other dogs ranging in age from 9 months old to 12 years old, and also ranging in size from 7 lbs to 85 lbs. He did wonderful with all of them and took correction well from the older dogs who weren't up for his silly puppy games. He would love to have another playful pup in his forever home to continue learning from and to have a companion to romp around with.
Stanley would do best in a home with kids 10 years old and up as he is still learning boundaries and may knock over a small child when he gets excited. He has been around a little baby human and was so intrigued with them. He did keep trying to jump up next to him to check him out on the couch, but was very gentle when interacting with him. Stanley is still a young pup so he will need some time to continue learning boundaries when it comes to interacting with tiny little humans. He would love to have older kids in the home to play and cuddle with, and would be a great pup to involve the kids in training with since he is very gentle with taking treats and eager to learn when food is involved. His ideal home environment would be a home with a fenced in backyard, another playful pup, and a family that loves going on outdoor adventures.
Ozzy
Ozzy is a playful, affectionate 3 month old Rottie mix that weighs 15 lbs. He is expected to be around 60-65 lbs once he is full grown. This silly boy is always happy and loves to make his foster humans laugh with his silly puppy games. He can usually be found either playing with his furry foster sisters or cuddling up with the foster humans on the couch. He loves to be babied and just melts into your arms when you pick him up. He will smother you with the sweetest puppy kisses before falling asleep for a nap. When he's not loving on his foster humans, he is playing with the resident dogs in the home. Whether its a quick game of chase, tug-o-war, or trying to learn fetch, he always wants to be included in play time with the big dogs.
Ozzy is low to medium energy, so he does need a few short exercise sessions per day to help burn that puppy energy. He loves to be outdoors running through the grass, playing with toys, or following the resident dogs around. He is easily entertained with his toys when he is inside and he will walk around the house with one in his mouth to tell you he is ready for a friendly game of tug-o-war. He is already working on socialization training in the outside world, and has shown that he is a very curious and brave pup that isn't afraid to investigate new things. He will be a great pup to take on adventures exploring nature as he gets older to help continue exposing him to new things. He also doesn't have a shy bone in his body, so this fun-loving pup really enjoys meeting new people and doggy friends. If he is the only dog in the home, having frequent doggy play dates, walks to the park, visits to friends' houses, and exposure to different environments like people watching at Home Depot are going to be beneficial to continue his socialization as he grows.
Ozzy is kennel trained, and has almost mastered potty training. He prefers to go outside to do his business, but sometimes will still use the potty pad if he can't hold it any longer. With consistent scheduled potty breaks, he should be fully potty trained in no time. He has not started leash training yet, but will as soon as he is finished with his puppy vaccinations. He will need additional training on the leash once he gets to his forever home to ensure he perfects it before he grows up. He will sleep in a kennel at night, but prefers to sleep on a dog bed next to his human's bed. Once he falls asleep, he will sleep through the night, let you know when he's awake and ready for potty time in the morning. He is very food motivated and loves to engage in activities that involve him getting a treat. This will help with additional training as he gets older since he will do just about anything for a yummy treat.
Ozzy is dog friendly, cat friendly and kid friendly. He is very social and loves to meet new friends no matter what the species is. He is currently in a foster home with two large dogs, one young and one senior, and he does great with them both. He is very silly and playful with both of them, and has learned what boundaries he has to have when the senior is done with his silly puppy games. He would love to have another playful doggy companion in his forever home, but would be okay being the only dog as long as he gets frequent puppy play dates or gets to attend doggy day care. He has been introduced to kitties and is very interested in being friends with them. Since he is still young and learning boundaries with playtime, having a baby gate up to allow the kitty to escape from his puppy antics when needed is recommended until they get acclimated to each other. He would love to have human kids in the home to play and cuddle with, and would be a great pup to involve the kids in training with since he is very gentle with taking treats and eager to learn when food is involved. His ideal home environment would be a home with a fenced in backyard, have another playful pup, and a family that loves going on outdoor adventures or spending time in nature.
