"SPOT"  #181024 neutered male 3 yrs 1 mths 69 lbs

Breed: Australian Cattle Dog / German Shepherd Dog $

I've been in the shelter longer than most and my adoption fee has been paid by someone who loves me.

 

 I recently lost one eye. Our staffers say I'm doing well and that I'm as cute as ever. I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I'm easy going. Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

Breed: Brittany $25


Here's what you need to know about me:

I'd like a relaxed home. I wouldn't say I'm "old"... I've just been around for a while. And that's made me appreciate the finer things in life like naps in the sun, looking out windows, and the special joy when you're able to scratch juuuuust the right spot. I like to take it easy at home - I'm not up for lots of activity.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

Interested in adopting me?

Animals available for adoption in foster homes need a special questionnaire submitted.
