I am a big girl in need of some exercise and a diet, but don't let that turn you off, I have plenty of energy and would make an excellent jogging partner. When you first meet me I become very excited, but this might be due to spending most of my time chained in a yard all by myself. It was pretty lonely so I can’t help but jump for joy when I get attention. Given the chance I should mellow right down. I am a very sweet girl who is house trained, loves children, but I don’t really care for other dogs, so I would do best in a one dog family.

3 year old male Poodle mix

1 year old male Poodle mix

Since my arrival at the shelter I have found that I have become a little on the shy, and bashful side with new people, but once I am over the first introductions I become a very sweet, cuddly girl. I try my very best to please everyone but I constantly worry that I may be doing something wrong, I think I would do well with a family that could help me find some self confidence, and help me realize what a great dog I am. I enjoy children other dogs and love people.

I am the diva of the shelter but who could expect more, just look at me, I’m smart , beautiful and  I have a voice that could break hearts and bring tears to your eyes, and boy do i love to use it! I came to the shelter as a stray with my bonded buddy Sunny and I know it isn’t likely but we would like to find a home together where we can run and play and be part of a family, if not that is okay too.

We came to the shelter with our 4 other siblings but they have since found homes, we are all that remains. Goliath is the easier going of the two us. He is just a little bolder and has had a little more socialization.

Gemini on the other hand is a little shyer and would need some time to warm up to her new family. Given time love a patients she will be an excellent dog, she is just waiting for that perfect family to give her a chance.

At this point in time I have only been at the shelter a short time, I am scared, lonely, a little confused and a bit stressed out. But who could blame me? There I was walking down the street when a police officer picked me up and brought me here, for my own good of course, the people here are nice to me, but I wish desperately for a home and warm soft place to sleep.

 Fast friendly and on the move, that’s me! I love to play and run all day, but by the end of the day I am ready and willing to come in. I don’t have much training but I am learning rather quickly, if I may say so myself. The people here at the shelter have been working hard to get me leash and house trained. I get along great with other dogs and I LOVE attention and affection. All I need now is to find my perfect family that will take me home and love me as much as I will love them.

Lamar/M/Coon Hound/4+yrs/Large

I have been in the system for over a year but been in foster care the whole time. I am house-trained and co-exist with other dogs, but would prefer to be the only dog in the home. With me being a coonhound I do have a tendency to roam since I can't control how much I use my sense of smell! I need a home where there is no fear since I have a tendency to be scared of everything. I need an owner who will expand my horizons and make me aware of the great big world that is out there. I need to learn that the world is just another adventure and not something that to be feared.

Oden: 1 year old male St. Bernard mix

I am as gangly and goofy as a puppy. I am still so much puppy that walking is sometimes a little difficult for me! I find that my feet are constantly getting in my way and cause me to fall down. The staff here find my antics hilarious but I find it a little embarrassing.

I am a little on the shy side with new people but after meeting them a couple times I warm right up. I get along great with other dogs, like cats and seem to love everyone once I learn to trust them. So please take me home.

 I’m foxy Roxy and in my opinion I am the coolest dog here. You have only to look at me and my long legged loveliness to see why they call me foxy. I have plenty of spunk and personality  and I can guarantee that my playful antics will keep my new family entertained and laughing for hours. I also have a great sense of humor and would make a great addition to any family. I get along great with other dogs, don’t mind cats, and enjoy being with humans whenever possible.

The last week has been a little crazy for me but I am adjusting well. For some reason someone drooped me off at a farm all by myself. I was very lucky though, the lady was very nice and brought me here to the Headwaters Animal Shelter where I hear I will find a forever family . I am very excited about this and can’t wait to meet them.

The staff here call me Scotch because I will stick to you like scotch tape! I really want to be with people all the time and I would make the perfect constant companion for someone I get along well with other dogs and love attention. Please take me home today.
