Her favorite things in the world are a warm blanket, a cozy pillow, and a good meal, she’s very food-motivated, which makes earning her trust that much easier. Between long, peaceful naps, Chevy has adorable little bursts of energy that will make you smile.
The world can feel like a big, scary place for Chevy, so she’s looking for a calm, understanding home with someone who will move at her pace and give her the reassurance she needs. In return, she’ll give you quiet companionship and unwavering loyalty.
Chevy is wonderful with other dogs and cats and tends to pick one special friend to become instant BFFs with.

Approximate Age: 6 year
Weight: 8 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: treats, sleeping, hanging out in the yard with his friends, chin scratches
Dislikes: Walking on leash, freshly cooked chicken (but will eat chicken flavoured dog food)
Ideal Home: He would do best in a non-active home where he can be carried around and adored. It would be best to have a house with a yard so he gets exercise as he will not walk on a leash and prefers to have privacy when doing his business outside.
Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Low
Experience with Kids: Unknown
Experience with cats: Unknown

Training Needs: He would benefit from basic training and confidence building. He is still working on his house training and is good if taken outside frequently.
Needs basic training, Shy, Needs confidence building
From Herman Foster:
Herman is a sweet little guy but may be a bit lazy. He loves going for rides in the doggie stroller and will get out to explore the "pee trees" but hasn't decided to try walking on leash yet. He loves treats but can be selective in which ones he actually will eat. His favourite is beef liver and will give the cutest head tilt as he waits for the treat. Hermie has just started playing with his foster sister. He does enjoy a comfy bed and looking out the window. This little guy snuggles in anytime you pick him up and is so good when I comb his hair or do any grooming on him. He will be perfect for a non-active home or someone who enjoys carrying their dog and treating him like a prince. This sweet little angel makes everyone smile and his adopter will surely fall in love quickly.

From Hooper's Foster:
This oversized pompom just wants to be beside you and be cuddled all day and night. If the neighbors are in their yard, he whines because he wants to go meet them. He is a social little guy that enjoys being around people.
Get ready for cuteness! He often sleeps on his back, paws in the air, and tongue sticking out. It will melt your heart and make you want to snuggle him.
Hooper is very chill and doesn't get wound up by other pets, though he gets very excited at meal time.
This charming little boy will fit into most homes and makes you fall in love!

not just a sandwich, also a great dog!
They call me : Reuben
Predicted Breed: Poodle mix.
Sex: Neutered male
Approximate Age: 6 years
Weight: 14 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: Rueben likes to look out the window, snuggle, belly rubs, outside exploring, and naps (especially with his human) treats, good morning zoomies, and nice weather.
Dislikes: Snow, leashes, blankets on him, toys (very scary) doorways, sudden movements, being alone, change.
Ideal Home: He would like a home with consistency and someone who can help him learn to be braver. A note from the foster: Reuben is completely uninterested in Cats so even with 2 cats here it's very harmonious living. I had my very busy loud family over at Easter and he was mostly interested in getting treats. Keep in mind my family is well trained in going slow with dogs. He does bark for strangers and makes a little fuss when he is left at home alone but settles in and stops barking after a little time.
Detached home, Senior home, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: Low
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: Yes
Medical Needs: It has been recommended to have him on a hypoallergenic diet as he seems to have some skin issues at this time
Training Needs: Rueben is just starting to find his bravery, he is very good at coming when you call him and he just wants to please you but seems to be worried about making a mistake. If you keep his leash completely loose he will take little steps with you, but will resist immediately if there is any tension on the leash. He is very very smart and wants to please his people so he is a fast learner when he is feeling safe. He doesn't understand what pee pads are and does his best to hold it in the house and is very happy to go outside to go to the bathroom and does great zoomies when he has finished, so I think he is housetrained and will give indication of his needs if given time and praise.
Knows other commands, House trained, Barks indoors, Shy, Fearful
From reuben's Foster:
Reuben is very sweet and gentle with everyone he meets. He loves to snuggle and gives belly rub approval with the most adorable doggie moans. He will be your best friend and happily accompany you wherever you go. He has perfected the "biiggg stretch" move and will perform it every time he is greeted. Forget toys, naps and treats are his 2 favorite things, so if you are looking for a laid back, loyal, bed hog, that loves a little neighborhood gossip, he is the one for you.

Shy, but worth the wait for a tail wag
They call me : Seus (Zeus)
Predicted Breed: Terrier mix.
Sex: Neutered male
Approximate Age: 2 years
Weight: 17 Lbs.
Rescued from: Mexico
Likes: Cuddles (especially morning cuddles), fetch, jumping and climbing, food (extremely food-motivated), play (dual food + play drive), sniff walks, being close to his person, beef sausage (jackpot), hot dog, cheese, boiled chicken, salmon. Rollerblading, chilling, chewing, white noise machine,
Dislikes: Unpredictable approaches from strangers, being touched without warming up first, sudden movements toward him, people entering his space quickly
Ideal Home: Seus will require a patient adopter who will introduce him slowly to new people. Building his confidence will be key to his success. He does bark inside and we would recommend detached housing as a result. The foster has found a white noise machine which has been effective in keeping Seus from barking.
Detached home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: High
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs

From Seus's Foster:
Meet Seus! A charismatic, whip-smart Chi mix with a gorgeous long-haired coat and the most expressive eyes you've ever seen. This little guy is a seriously fast learner — he picked up sit, stay, and tug of war and was fully potty trained all within two weeks. He even learned to rollerblade alongside his foster parent! Seus went from not being able to handle an elevator with strangers to happily taking chicken from people and sniffing their shoes in just three weeks. That's the kind of dog he is, brave underneath it all, and once he trusts you, he's all in. He's silly, fun, and has a protective streak that makes you feel like you've got your own little bodyguard. Seus is both food-motivated AND play-motivated, which makes every training session a blast. He loves fetch, morning cuddles, sniff walks, and being right next to his person. He's fully house-trained, crate-trained, and thrives in condo living. Seus is looking for an active person who'll give him the time to show them just how amazing he is. It won't take long — this dog will steal your heart.

Vera does not resource guard her food but will resource guard high value items like bones. Vera is doing ok with her house training but is very reluctant when it's cold outside. You can tell she knows what to do but doesn't want to go outside when the weather is not great. Vera is a also a bit nervous when you try to put on sweaters and harnesses over her head. Patience and certain gear helps with this.
Needs basic training, Protective, Walks on a leash
From Vera's Foster:
Vera is such a sweet velcro dog who is loving all the attention she is getting in her new life. She is a quiet pup who loves to go on walks and adventures but is also content to just hang out with you at home and snuggle on the couch.
Vera would thrive in a home as an only dog but would be ok in a home with other dogs if the adopter is experienced. She definitely at time has the chihuahua sass!
Vera loves my cat and I have often caught her snuggling up with her.
Vera has so much love and affection to give and can't wait to find her fur-ever family.
