Meet Ta-da!  She is as sweet as can be and has a very submissive/fearful side to her that will require someone with extra time in their predictable daily schedule, and the understanding that this will not be a bonding experience that will happen overnight. Ta-Da!'s new owner will need to be prepared to help manouver through her fears with her and on her terms for however long that may take, as pushing new things on Ta-Da could cause her to shut down. Her behaviours are all fear based and she is definitely going to need more time to adjust into a new home setting, as well as extra patience as she learns to build trust with her new owners. She will need to go to a home with a fully fenced and secure yard as due to her fearful nature she does pose a flight risk if given the opportunity to do so. Ta-Da! absolutely adores playing with other dogs and she would really love another dog in her new home to help teach her some confidence while she continues to come out of her shell. Ta-Da! also really enjoys playing in water!!  This gal LOVES the kiddie pools here at the facility and while she was in foster care she loved swimming in their dugout.  If you are willing to give Ta-da! a chance and think you have the structured routine and predictable lifestyle that she requires, then she is the dog for you!

 Donovan is looking for an experienced dog owner willing to take him to socialization classes, and will be patient with him as he gets used to the life of being in a cozy home.  Donovan will require slow controlled intro's with new adult dogs as he was very unsocialized before coming into our care. This in no way means that he is bad with other dogs, he is just unsure about them upon initial meet.  One of Donovan's favorite things to do here at the facility is playing with the many puppies in our care!  He is so gentle with them, and loves teaching them to play tug of war.  The great thing about Donovan is that he is one of the smartest dogs we know.  He listens extremely well to us, especially when we have treats as he is very food motivated!  Donovan also has the strongest desire to be a good boy.  All he wants is some structure, one on one time with his new owners, and maybe even a puppy to help keep him company. Donovan loves going for walks, is an absolute gem on leash and would make a great hiking companion.

 Dex is a medium sized adolescent dog learning the ropes of life. He was lucky enough to land a foster home where he is being taught his basic manners and building the confidence needed for him to thrive! Dex takes time to warm up to new dogs but once he does it's play time, he loves to chase and wrestle with his dog friends! Because of Dex's limited socialization early on in life he relies on other dogs to fuel his bravery and will do best in a home with a well matched, confident dog to learn from. 

So far, women have the best luck earning Dex's trust and affection but his foster dad's consistently kind approach is slowly winning Dex over. He responds well to positive reinforcement and gentle praise which is a great start on the path to a more confident dog! His new family should be aware that it will take time for Dex to feel comfortable in their home and that he may need some special considerations to be introduced to new people. He also tends to be startled by loud noises and responds by fleeing the scene to safety. Luckily Dex has decided his crate is his safe spot and will camp out there when he gets frightened. His foster home reports that Dex's crate has been a useful tool in transitioning him into their mulit-dog home and he does really well in it!

Dex's new family may have a few hurdles ahead of them overcoming his timid nature but he will make it all worth while with his hilarious loopdie-loo zoomies when he's happy and his playful antics with dog friends! He loves frolicking in fresh snow and splashing in water so there's a good chance this shy guy will learn to love going on outdoorsy adventures with his canine and human buds! With the right family to give him a chance we're sure Dex will be a rewarding and loveable furever friend!

Tahini is a big girl with an equal amount of love to give! She has been hanging out in foster care with Sarah at Dawn of Dogs who is doing a fabulous job sorting out who she is and helping her learn all kinds of skills. Tahini has a true love for training and will be a treat for someone who enjoys teaching their dog a wide repertoire of tricks! In foster care she has been getting her basic manners down pat and has also been introduced to scent work and pulling in a harness. She could make a great partner for canicross, skijoring, or even sled pulling with continued training. 

Tahini has had some negative experiences with other dogs which have led to her becoming reactive towards them as she's matured. She does okay with socially appropriate male dogs if given time to warm up to them but becomes defensive if dogs rush into her personal space. Because of this she will do best as the only dog in the home. Tahini may enjoy outings such as training classes or hikes with other dogs but adopters should be aware that her socialization has been limited and will take careful management, extra training, and patience to navigate. 

Along with Tahini's amazing work ethic comes a goofy and fun personality! She is a quiet dog and is adapting to her foster home environment with well planned out management strategies in place. They adore being greeted by her soft spoken howl when she is excited to see them! Tahini does great with cats and loves every person she meets! She has also lived with children in a previous home so she would likely transition well to a variety of environments given that her history with other dogs is taken into consideration. All in all Tahini is a great girl who just needs the right person to give her a chance!

Chase is incredibly smart and loves a good mental challenge. He likes to sit and stare at you while he waits for you to give him something to do. Chase knows sit, lay down. roll over and shake a paw! Chase is always very proud to show you his tricks and everything he knows.  His desire to learn new things gives him endless potential!  Chase loves other dogs and is very playful with them.  Chase is house trained, and is quiet in his kennel here at the facility. Last August Chase was adopted to a loving family and in that time they found out 2 very important things about him.  He was chasing their livestock as well as their neighbors, so would not be suited for an open acreage/farm.  It was this reason that got Chase returned into our care.  His recent humans also found out that Chase has Epilepsy.  He was having seizures that were occurring at night so he was taken to the vet and has been prescribed an anti-seizure medication.  This medication has stopped the seizures, but his new home must know that he will likely be on medication for the rest of his life, and there is always a possibility that he will have another seizure. Overall Chase is a very well rounded dog and will make an easy transition into many homes.

Charlie is looking for an experienced dog owner to help him through some life hurdles that he just can't get through on his own. Charlie is very fearful of new things and will bark with uncertainty when he is overwhelmed by too many new things at once. He will do best in a home without small children, cats, or small dogs, and someone with a predictable/routine schedule. Charlie has the potential to become a very loyal canine but he will need some work in getting to that point with his new people. He tries very hard to play with other dogs and is a bit socially awkward but does his very best to engage with them in a playful manner.  That being said, Charlie will do best with a confident but submissive dog if he were to have a canine friend in his new home as he can be a bit much for those more shy/timid dogs. He does love to play with toys and he enjoys carrying one around with him through the day. Charlie will require a yard with a tall wooden fence as his legs are extremely long, making it easy for this lanky gentleman to climb a 6 foot chain link fence. Charlie is going to take some work before he opens up and lets go of the fears that have been overwhelming him. If you are the type of person that Charlie needs, you will be granted with the best reward a dog lover could ask for...watching Charlie blossom into the dog he was always meant to be because you took the extra time and effort to bond with him.

 Gazelle is a beautiful gal looking for a family with an outdoor lifestyle. She is a true nature girl and loves being outside. She does need work on her leash manners, and would benefit from some training classes to help move things along. Gazelle has a mind of her own and knows what she wants!  Those things include, but are not limited to, a playful canine companion, lots of treats, and a big yard to explore. She would make a great camping buddy, and once properly leash trained an amazing hiking companion. Gazelle does well with other dogs and although a bit standoffish at first, once she feels the other dog out she is ready to start engaging in some playful wrestling.  She can be a bit possessive of her items but as long as the other dog respects her things she will not have an issue with them.  She is extremely clean in her kennel and doesn't even mess overnight! Gazelle is ready to hop right into your life so she can start a new journey with her furever family!

 TaylorMade is an affection seeking gal looking for the perfect home to start her new life in. She is a sweetheart with the potential to grow into a very loyal canine and she thrives with positive reinforcement and praise.  TaylorMade is looking for a quieter household as she does get overstimulated/anxious when there is a lot going on around her.  She was not always so outgoing towards humans. But once she realized that us humans provide her with affection and food, her attitude towards us changed. She is still shy towards strangers but her trust will grow with her new family as they continue with the positive reinforcement training techniques she has been taught so far.  TaylorMade has quite a bit of energy and is looking for a household with another confident adult dog to help with building her confidence and of course provide her with lots of play time.  She loves chewing on her nyla-bones, balls, rubber toys, and really enjoys burying her toys in her blankets. TaylorMade will benefit from socialization classes and basic training as she continues to blossom into the sweet and confident dog she was destined to become!
