ADOPTED 1/22/2022 RAZZBERRY

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – RAZZBERRY is sweet & in-your-face affectionate; she doesn’t take “no” for an answer. She is confident, adventurous, & is involved in everyone else’s play. She is the first one to go on adventures in the house, yet she can settle & cuddle, too. RAZZBERRY is a good eater & very food-motivated, which will make finding motivation for training a snap.

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – SMOOTHIE

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – SMOOTHIE is the most loving & calm of all the puppies when it’s time for cuddles or when she’s settled after lots of activity.  This girlie is food-motivated & figures out quickly what it takes to get what she wants.  You do something with her & she says “I’ve got it” & tries to do it again & again to get reward.  Her favorite games are tug & tug & tug & then, go chase a ball; when truly settled, she likes a nice chew toy to go to sleep with.

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – WAFFLE

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – Classically-marked WAFFLE is the smallest girlies, & at first blush, the most delicate. She is quiet & takes things in, checking things out before joining the fun. She is easy-going & never pushy. That said, Waffle is silly in her play—bouncing around, standing up, rolling, & kicking. All of the puppies are her playmates, & like her siblings WAFFLE enjoys tugging with the other pups & with people. Waffle likes people; & she loves to cuddle, give kisses, & even to bundle up after she settles from play. She would love a quieter, adult home.

ADOPTED – LATTE

ADOPTED – LATTE’s short, easy-to-care for coat is a glorious mix of colors. This girl’s second name is FUN. Latte is curious, adventurous, & is willing to step out & try things on her own. Even with her adventurous spirit, she is still cuddly & affectionate, giving kisses & seeking comfort from her person & her littermates.

ADOPTED – OATMEAL

ADOPTED – OATMEAL (OATIE) is willing to try anything.  He likes water a lot—both to drink & to play in.  Like his littermates he likes to tug with the other puppies, but his favorite playtime activities are to shake stuffed toys or to grab & tussle on his own with hanging tug toys.  Oatmeal is very affectionate & social with everyone he meets.

ADOPTED – MUFFIN MAN

ADOPTED – MUFFIN MAN likes to give kisses as a reward when you sing his theme song (“Do You Know the Muffin Man?”) to him.  He is very loving; in fact, his foster mom called him a “big ball of love.”  He is curious & adventurous, but he especially likes to do whatever the group is doing.  And when he’s done playing hard with the group or chewing squeaky toys on his own, he likes to fall asleep on the stuffed red dog. 

ADOPTED – DUKE

ADOPTED - DUKE is a gorgeous 53-pound, 2-year-old BC/Yellow Lab mix boy.  He is incredibly athletic & loves to run full out & to jump.  (He would be a great running partner or hiking buddy).  Even though he likes to jump, Duke is a kind boy, & he doesn't jump up on people; when his front feet leave the ground it's only to give his person a gentle hug.  He loves people & gets along beautifully with the dogs in his foster home.  He lived previously in a home with 6 other dogs, & he is reported to have gotten along well with all of them, too.  We don't know about cats.

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 BANDIT

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 Meet BANDIT, a small (38#), 8-year-old boy who is ready to find his forever home.  Bandit was clearly neglected in his former life, but he's loving life now after a dental, grooming, & a diet, as well as the attention of his foster family who loves him dearly.  Bandit likes meeting new people & exploring new places.  He likes to go for rides in the car & going for walks on a leash, & while he is not trained to heel yet, he does walk nicely on a leash.  He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, but he loves one-on-one attention so much that his ideal home would be one in which he is the only dog.  While Bandit wins the Mr. Congeniality Award with people & other dogs, he is most definitely not a cat man.  He needs a home with no cats.

Adopted – Jazz

Adopted Meet JAZZ, a 38-pound 1-2 year-old bundle of enthusiasm and joy! JAZZ is a classically marked rough coat boy with one gold eye and one blue eye. His personality is also classic – BC that is! JAZZ is on the higher energy side, but has an ‘off switch’ when nap time or bed time arrives and he settles down in his crate. A play buddy and regular exercise will make JAZZ a happy dog, as well as close contact with his humans. If you let him, JAZZ will climb into your lap! He has also started to shadow his foster dad, to stay close to his human. JAZZ gets along well with his foster packmates, travels nicely in the car, is crate-trained, and knows to go potty outside. Overall as you can see in his video, he is one sweet boy.

ADOPTED – KIND

ADOPTED - KIND is the Leader of the Pack – He wants to please, takes positively to correction so should be fun to train. Like his siblings, KIND  is an active pup, and loves to cuddle.  All toys & games are on his list of favorite activities. He gives warm crazy kisses and likes to be talked to directly. Loves tug toys and is super sweet with me! Mama Mercy’s pups were born around 10/1/21, & they are excited about finding their forever homes.  Mama weighs about 36 pounds.  We don’t know who the dad or dads are, so we are offering an educated guess on the pups’ adult sizes.  Mama Mercy (last Photo) will be available for Adoption after her spay. We are not taking applications for her at this time.

ADOPTED – GORDY

Meet GORDY! This sweet boy is so excited for his new adventure.  He greets everyone he meets with enthusiastic tail wags and a whole body wiggle that will melt your heart! He’s still a little on the shy side though and has a tendency to do a kind of submissive belly crawl when he encounters new situations, but he embraces every new situation and everyone he meets with a happy demeanor.

ADOPTED – ASH

ADOPTED - ASH (52 pounds of Border collie / Great Pyrenees) has been put on this earth to be petted. She gets petted when she sits, while we are walking, and when we cuddle up on the couch. When I stop she gives me that soulful look with those big brown eyes and the petting continues. Because she has such long legs I don’t even need to bend over to pet her, unless of course when she wants belly rubs. And she LOVES belly rubs! ASH lets us know when anyone is approaching the yard, comes to the door or enters the house. As she tells me, “It’s my job to protect my home and surroundings.”

ADOPTED – JESSIE

ADOPTION PENDING - JESSIE is an active, affectionate ball-chasing young lady. She loves people and people love her. She also gets along well with other dogs. She does not let her birth challenges; zero hearing and limited vision, slow her down in the least. She lives a pretty normal life, but would benefit greatly from having another dog buddy to pair up with for play time. As you can see from the video she loves to run and play hard. Her dog buddy should be able to match her activity level and enthusiasm for play and companionship, particularly when out in the yard. Inside she prefers hanging with her people or just picking a quiet spot in which to rest.

ADOPTED – MIA

ADOPTED - MIA (or "Missy") is a 5-to-6-year-old energetic, bunny-soft, joyful, sweet fluff-ball of love. She is a border collie/Aussie mix, who weighs 50 pounds, and don’t tell her, but she could still lose a couple of those pounds.  She is intently human-focused, lives to play outside and inside, chase toys, go on adventures, get pets, chew bones and give cuddles. MIA is house-trained, signals when she needs to go, crates well, and travels in the car like a champ. She has a reliable recall without distractions.

ADOPTED – JAX

ADOPTED - JAX Meet JAX, a sweet 2.5 year-old male beautifully marked smooth coat black and white border collie with inquisitive brown eyes.  He weighs in at a slim and slender 30 pounds.  JAX is looking for a loving and caring home.   He may have been under-socialized as a puppy as JAX is a dog sensitive to change and/or to environments where he feels he has no control.  JAX has a high “flight” complex.  He does not like loud noises and is fearful during thunderstorms.  JAX is also fearful and hyper-sensitive outside after dark.  He wants to trust and loves to play with other dogs, but has a high startle response.  JAX is happiest when he has a consistent, dependable, and calm household, with a very solid routine.  Change in his daily routine will definitely set back his attitude and training.
