🐻😂 BROWN BEAR: PART-TIME MODEL, FULL-TIME SILLY BOY! 😂🐻If Brown Bear’s pictures don’t make you smile, we’re not sure what will! 📸🤣 This 10-month-old Pit Mix is basically a giant ball of puppy energy with a heart just as big! ❤️At around 55 pounds, Brown Bear has somehow convinced himself that he is still a tiny lap puppy… and he has absolutely NO idea how much energy he has! 😂🐾🎾 Playful? Absolutely!🧸 Loves toys? YES!🌳 Loves being outside? You bet!❤️ Loves people? SO much!🤣 Silly? 1000%!Brown Bear is incredibly sweet and loves attention. He just hasn’t quite figured out that his enthusiasm can sometimes be a LOT! An active family would be the perfect match for this boy—someone who can keep his body and brain busy and help him learn that not every moment needs to be MAXIMUM ENERGY. 😂Brown Bear and his future family will both benefit from training to help him learn manners, boundaries, and how to channel all that puppy energy appropriately. He’s smart, playful, and eager to have fun, so we think he’ll be a blast to work with!❤️ A note about Brown Bear’s heartworm treatment:Brown Bear has completed his heartworm treatment and is doing well! Because he has had heartworm disease, he will need to remain on heartworm preventive for the rest of his life and have occasional heartworm testing, which is simply done through routine blood work. 🩸🐾Brown Bear is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.Now all he needs is a family who is ready for lots of laughs, lots of playtime, lots of toys, and one very silly boy! 🐻😂❤️Just look at those pictures… Brown Bear clearly has a personality bigger than his 55-pound body! 📸🤣 ...

Our girl Shadow went on a hike with our cat team manager Gillian and had a blast! This is what she had to say about Shadow on her excursion! "Shadow was a great hiking buddy today. True to her name she stuck by my side the whole time, no pulling at all. She likes to stop for the occasional treat and then straight back to business for her. She was very laidback in the car to and from." 🐾 Meet Shadow! 🐾🌙 Shadow is a 2-year-old Husky girl looking for her forever family! 🌙Shadow may be a little shy at first, but give her some time, patience, and space to get comfortable, and you’ll get to see the super playful, sweet girl hiding underneath! 💕 Once she opens up, Shadow is ready to have fun and show you just how much personality she has!🎾 Shadow loves toys!🐕 Dog friendly!🦮 Easy on leash!💗 Sweet and playful once she feels comfortable!We think Shadow would thrive with an active family who will give her plenty of opportunities for exercise, playtime, and adventure. She would do best with kids who understand that she may need a little time to warm up and who will respect her boundaries and give her the space she needs while she gets comfortable. 🥰We are unsure how Shadow is with cats, so slow, patient introductions and careful management would be best.Shadow is already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. ❤️She’s ready to leave her shy-girl shell behind and find the people who will give her the time and love to truly shine. Could that be you? 🐾💕 ...

🐾💙 HE’S A BRICK HOUSE! 💙🐾Meet 10-month-old Bricks, and let us tell you… this boy is a BRICK HOUSE! 😂💪🐶 At around 60–65 pounds, Bricks is one BIG puppy with an even bigger heart!Bricks is very much still a puppy and has NO idea just how big he is! He absolutely LOVES kids and is incredibly sweet with them, but his puppy excitement can sometimes make him a little rough or cause an accidental tumble. He just hasn’t figured out that he’s not a 10-pound puppy anymore! 😂❤️He loves adults just as much and is a total sweetheart who enjoys attention and affection. 🥰🐕 Dog friendly! Bricks does well with other dogs. With smaller dogs, he doesn’t quite understand that he is MUCH bigger than they are and may accidentally play too rough. His previous owner reports that if he realizes he’s too rough, he backs off immediately. A proper dog introduction is always recommended.🎾 Loves toys! This playful boy is always ready for some fun!🏡 Housetrained & crate trained! ✅⚡ An active family would be best! Bricks has plenty of puppy energy and would love a family ready to give him exercise, playtime, training, and lots of opportunities to burn off that energy.Bricks is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. ❤️He may be built like a Brick House, but this big boy is still just a goofy puppy trying to figure out where all those legs and pounds are supposed to go! 😂🐾If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, dog-friendly, toy-loving BIG puppy with a whole lot of personality, come meet Bricks! 💙Because everybody needs a little “Brick House” in their life! 🧱🏠🐶 ...
