Adopt a Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler: Toby

This big handsome dog is Toby, a three-year-old Red Heeler mix. He’s sadly spent most of his life in the shelter, except for the time he’s been in a foster home and a while that he spent with a family when he was adopted. He’s a great dog who is playful and smart, and he’ll fetch anything you can throw! He loves older kids and he especially has fun playing with boys who have lots of energy to match his. He knows how to sit and he’s eager to learn lots more things with his new family. He’s strong on a leash, so he’d be a great candidate for an obedience class with his new people. Update: Toby has lived in a foster home with children of various ages and with an older child in his adopted home. He has a history of being good with the kids in his own “family” but he is protective and not necessarily friendly with kids he doesn’t know. When he was allowed to run loose, he bit an 8-year-old on the leg who was playing basketball. His new owners will need to keep him confined to the home or yard and commit to continuing his training. The photos of Toby with the children were taken by his foster family.

Adopt a Black Labrador Retriever: Peanut

Peanut is a happy and healthy Lab mix who is loving and loyal. He plays well with other dogs and he is attentive and cute with people. He’s about two years old, so he’s at a perfect age to join an obedience class and learn his adoptive family’s house rules. He seems smart too, so he will probably learn tricks easily as well. Peanut loves to play with toys and he can’t wait to meet you. Peanut is currently in a foster home and his people say, “Peanut is housetrained and excellent with kids and other dogs. Loves to cuddle and give hugs. He sleeps on a dog pillow next to the bed. Loves to play with doggie chew toys.”

Peanut is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Adopt a Labrador Retriever: Rita

Rita is currently living in a foster home, where they report that she is great with young kids, housetrained, and loves to play fetch…She’s happy and healthy and still active and playful at about 9-10 years of age. She’d love to meet a family who will give her a caring, permanent home where she could live out the rest of her life and reward her new people with tons of unconditional love!

Rita is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Walker is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

Adopt a Labrador Retriever: Tonto

This big guy lives to run and and play chase with other dogs….then flop all exhausted at your feet. He is about 4 years old, likes to play in the water and play fetch all day long. Tonto is a high-energy dog that needs a person (or family) that is able to exercise him every day. He is a large sweety, longing for someone who will take him jogging or hiking and make him a part of their family. He is housetrained, and prefers to be with his family, or will climb out of a fenced yard. Tonto is also gentle with cats, so he’ll be a loving and loyal pet, perfect for almost any home.
