We think Liz looks like a lab/terrier mix, and her personality certainly lives up to that assumption! Liz is EXTREMELY playful with dogs and humans alike - we are working on making sure she remembers that humans play a bit differently than dogs. :) She is medium sized, about 2 or 3 years old, crate-trained, heartworm negative, and spayed! While she does love a good play session, she is also very affectionate and loves to love those around her. Even with her playful nature, she does settle down at night and likes to curl up next to - in your arms if you will let her! She loves kids and tries very hard to be gentle around them even when excited. She would not do well in a home with cats - cats do not appreicate how Liz tries to play with them.
Lewis is about 11 months old and about 60 pounds. He is a sweet boy who we took as a foster because he shut down in the shelter. Lewis has always loved other dogs and would do best in a home with at least one canine friend. Since getting Lewis in January 2025, he has shown how much he loves to play, loves to get pets, and appreciates a good nap on the couch. He is gentle around kids and not easily bother by the noises they (or their toys) may make. He is very easy going when playing with other dogs and is now easy going around people too! People used to make him scared, and he may still take a minute or two to be comfortable around someone new, but he quickly approaches for hugs and pets! He is neutered, crate-trained, and we believe he is heartworm negative.
We strongly believe in the 3-3-3 rule - 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months. People usually need an adjustment period when being somewhere new, and dogs do to! Some dogs need more or less time to acclimate to their new surroundings, new routines, and new family members. We do our best to ensure foster dogs in our care are crate-trained and house-broken while they are with us (and learn some basic commands if they can pay attention!). When transitioning to a new home, accidents may happen - some of our best-trained dogs had accidents when they moved with us to our new house and the furniture and people stayed the same! Please be patient with your new adoptee as they adjust, as the first week can often be the hardest. We are always happy to answer any questions about how a particular foster dog did adjusting from shelter life to foster life, which can serve as a guideline for how they may transition to being a part of your family.
