People visiting the shelter in person or viewing animals on our website will note that all of our dogs are labeled as Mixed Breeds unless they have been DNA tested or are surrendered to the shelter with paperwork. Any potential breeds listed here on PetFinder are not assumed to be accurate and are merely a starting point for people to be able to search for a dog who may visually resemble a breed they are interested in. We feel that the best matches are made based on a dogs individual personality and recommend families come meet our animals in person. Please reach out with any questions!

Update from temp foster:7/9

Had a great week! What a joy watching a dog that was so fearful & afraid at the shelter a month ago continue to grow and show her personality.

-Meredith responds to her name
-Cautious around new people and new things:
(she kept close eye on the ceiling fans and swiffer all week )
-Responds best to gentle
voice correction
-Rode great in car
-Allows full body touch, gives lots of kisses
-Respectful in house
-Sleeps quietly through the night
-good recall (she comes in from yard when called)
-She loves the backyard (likes her people to be there)

She was more active everyday in short term foster - after 7 days she started chasing balls and even had the zoomies!
