We thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Hi there! Are you energetic? Patient? Fairly strong? Do you have the time and desire to spend lots of quality time with a good looking guy? I might be for you then. Word of caution, I am bossy and needy! But just look at me, it's all worth it right?
I have loved every dog I've met, I play pretty rough but if the other dog says no thanks, I leave them alone. I do tend to over react at seeing another dog when I'm on leash though. My foster mom says I have turned a corner and she can see the improvement with the work we've been doing, so my new family would need to keep up with my training. I adore walking and it's really good for me because I have been overweight and it really hurt my back legs and hips, so now I take this powder in my food everyday…I think my mom calls it glucosamine, and with the diet to help me lose weight I’m much happier and energetic and way less sore. I walk on this weird head halter that I really don't like, but because I'm a very strong boy and I'm still working on my leash manners it's the safest way so I don't pull anyone down.
I love to be the center of attention. If I want to be petted I’m not like normal dogs who walk up and ask. I prefer to lay in my favorite spot and just bark at you until you come to me! My foster mom says it's quite annoying, but I refuse to change my method. For this reason, no apartments for me please. This is also the reason I shouldn't live with kids. Sometimes I can scare them, oh, and I am quite mouthy and oh do I love to herd!!
There is lots more my foster mom can tell you if what you've learned so far doesn't scare you!  My foster mom looks forward to talking to you!

Hi there, I'm Diesel! I am a fun loving and energetic young guy. I am a big boy, but at times I think I am a lap dog and want to come cuddle up to my foster family.
My foster family welcomed me with open arms, even though I was a little shy at first. I stuck by my foster mom for the first little while, but in no time I was attached to everyone else. My foster family has a little dog who I love to run around and play with. We run around in the back yard and we like to go for family walks together. I have spent plenty of time in a home with cats, and other dogs so I am used to being around all sorts of other animals. Sometimes it takes them a little bit to get used to me because of how much bigger I am , but they all warm up when they realize all I want to do is play with them. 
I love to take naps and also my favorite spot is sleeping up against the wall, but not too far from my family because I like them to be close by. I am getting a little bit better with my manners  but some of it still needs work.  I get excited to see people when they come into my house and that is when I tend to jump up on them.  If you work with me, I promise I will get better. 
Although I will miss my foster family,  I am very excited to meet my forever family. If you take a chance on me, I promise it will be very rewarding for both of us! We will spend so much time together playing tug of war, fetch and going for walks. I will be your best friend and somebody who greets you at the door everyday when you get home. I can’t wait to meet you!

Hi, I'm Ham, or Hammy, or Hammerhead, and I'm a handful my foster mom says. I'm looking for a new family that can keep up not only with my high energy, but keep teaching me all sorts of things. I have been in foster care for a while now. When I arrived at my current foster home there were so many new dogs and new things and I was super scared. I snapped at all the dogs trying to keep them back from me. Not biting them, just snapping to keep them at a distance…that was silly. I've been learning that by not over reacting to people or other dogs they can actually be pretty cool. I still need to work on this, but I've already made tons of progress! I do love, love, LOVE to play with dogs once I've had a few minutes to bark and then sniff at them. My foster mom says I'm kind of a jerk when I play…I'm a collar grabber, and if no collar I can make do without. I listen though when another dogs says enough. My foster sister plays for like 30 seconds then tells me to stick it and I walk away and find someone else to help entertain me. I shouldn't live with a push over kind of dog though, because I'll harass them.
People, oh people. I used to bark and bark and bark at strangers, but with lots of treats and patience and this word “friends" being repeated to me I’m figuring out I only meet nice people who don't want to cause me harm. It seems like an okay deal so I keep trying.
I'm smart too. I would likely be a good agility or sporting type of dog. I tried some basic little jumps, and did well. I'm gaining confidence in myself everyday and with a little training I know I can be a great family member. The extra training will also help me burn some of my energy! I can play with my multiple foster siblings half the day, go for a nice long walk and still have energy to learn new things! The vet says I'm very healthy, and can still gain some weight. I eat quite a bit, but my foster mom says she's a bit jealous because I must burn calories just by breathing!
I do adore my own family members. I tend to be jumpy with excitement when they come home from being away, and I love to cuddle up with them once I've burned some energy.
So these are my basic qualities, there's lots more my foster mom can tell you, you just need to fill in an app and she will answer all your questions and tell you even more about me. So get on it!!

We have more dogs coming soon!
