Hi, my name is Aries! Here is what would work best for me in my new home: -Personality: Silly, affectionate -Can Live with Kids: Yes, Aries has lived with kids previously and should do well with kids around 8 years and up! -Can Live with Cats: Aries does have a prey drive so we would recommend a cat-free household. -Can Live with Dogs: Yes, he lived with dogs successfully in the past and also does well in playgroups here at the shelter. -Can do Apartment Living: Not recommended due to energy levels. -Potty Trained: Seems to be! -Bite History: None -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Not required at this time. -Energy Level: High! -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No, ready to go! -Additional Information: Aries is a love bug who is looking for his new best forever friend! Unfortunately Aries was surrendered to the shelter because his previous owner was having to move into housing that just was not fit for Aries. For his new home he would love plenty of room to roam - a fenced in yard is always a plus! He is a bit of an escape artist, so we would not recommend leaving him outside unattended. He would also really enjoy it if his person was not gone for too long during the day since he has a bit of separation anxiety. Although Aries is not known to howl or bark when his best friend leaves, he does start to chew anxiously on things. Separation anxiety is easily maintained by positive reward training, crating when needed, and plenty of affection and time. Also, you may find that once you get to know Aries, you may get separation anxiety yourself because he is such a joy to be around! If you'd like to meet this fluffy guy please fill out an application to be reviewed! View full description »

Puppies require A LOT more attention and dedication than most adult dogs - future adopters must be ready to give them everything they need to be successful! They will need homes where someone is present most of the time as puppies do not do well being left alone for long hours. They will be active adults and need an owner who is just as active!

Hi, my name is Crash! Here is what would work best for me in my new home: -Personality: People loving, silly, curious -Can Live with Kids: Older kids (~16 years and up) may be okay as long as they can handle a large, jumpy dog. -Can Live with Cats: Unknown history with how he does with cats. We would recommend a very slow and supervised introduction process if introducing any feline friends. -Can Live with Dogs: Possibly, Crash may be able to live with another dog of similar size and energy. A canine friend that is well socialized with other dogs would be best since Crash seems to be a bit unsure of new dog friends. Small or senior dogs are not recommended as he would likely be too overwhelming. Introductions will be scheduled to ensure everyone gets along. -Can do Apartment Living: Not recommended due to size and energy. -Potty Trained: Almost, just needs a little help with some marking behavior. This behavior will likely improve after neutering (which we will do!). -Bite History: None -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Depending on adopters' experience one private lesson may be required. -Energy Level: High! -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes a neuter. -Additional Information: Crash is an affectionate boy who is looking for his new forever home. He arrived at the shelter as a stray, so we don't really know anything about his history. We do know that he does well meeting strangers (although he might jump up onto them), and loves to get his neck scratched! Crash could use a little work on some basic manners such as keeping all four paws on the floor, taking treats nicely, and walking appropriately on the leash. He is very intelligent, learns quickly, and is treat motivated which should help with training! An active family would be preferred since Crash is pretty high energy and loves to explore the outdoors. Long walks or frisbee in the yard are great ways to get energy out! Crash would even love to go on long backpacking trips and would keep you warm at night. If you think Crash may be your new best forever friend, please fill out an application!

May be too overwhelming for any senior/small/shy dogs. We would schedule a meet and greet to ensure everyone gets along. -Can do Apartment Living: Ghost needs lots of room to roam and does enjoy belting out a tune every once in a while. -Potty Trained: Seems to be! -Bite History: None -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Not required. -Energy Level: High! -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Just a microchip and rabies vaccine. -Additional Information: Ghost is a silly girl who is looking for her best forever friend! She loves to go on runs outside, especially when she's with her dog friends. Since Ghost is your typical husky girl (likes to sing, drama queen, gym nut), she will need plenty of physical and mental stimulation daily! Also, please keep in mind she is STRONG and will mush you towards anything that looks like fun. She is a great motivator and would love to be someone's hiking buddy. If you'd like to meet Ghost, please fill out an application to be reviewed! View full description »

Hi, my name is Inar! Here is what would work best for me in my new home: -Personality: Social, playful, wiggly, a bit timid with new people but warms up quickly -Can Live with Kids: Dog-savvy kids ages 10+ (Inar was supposedly surrendered for "not being compatible" with child in his previous home) -Can Live with Cats: Unknown history - could likely live with a confident cat pending a proper introduction -Can Live with Dogs: Yes, could live with a PUPPY TOLERANT dog pending an initial introduction done here at the shelter. -Can do Apartment Living: Yes, but I am still in the process of potty training! -Potty Trained: Still working on it! -Bite History: No -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, a six week puppy course -Energy Level: Medium/high -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a neuter -Additional Information: Inar the puppy was left in our after-hours kennels by his previous owner. They did not give us much information regarding his history or why they were giving him up, besides the fact that he apparently was not compatible with the child in their home. Inar is only about 4 months old and still very much a puppy. He will need a patient adopter willing to work on training to help him become a well-rounded adult dog. We're not sure if Inar is potty trained, so adopters will need to be willing to work on that as well. As you can tell, Inar is an interesting looking little guy with a long coat. He's going to need consistent grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best. If you'd like to meet Inar, the first step is filling out an adoption application. Staff will review applications to ensure it's a good match before scheduling an introduction. View full description »

Koda is a sensitive young pup who's had a rough go in life so far. He was not set up for success by his previous owners and was handled using outdated training methods ("Alpha-Rolling", being jabbed in the ribs, etc) that have caused him to be a little conflicted and unsure of the world around him. Koda is eager for affection from his humans and would love a calm, patient family that can provide him with plenty of love, reassurance, and opportunities to build his confidence. Koda is a super smart dog who is reportedly 50% Border Collie, 25% Poodle, and 25% Australian Shepherd (quite the mix!!) He will need lots of outlets for his energy and plenty of activities to keep his brain occupied and engaged-- he's not a dog who will be happy lounging around the house all day. Koda loves a good squeaky toy and enjoys working for his meals thru frozen Kongs and other puzzle feeders. Koda is a diamond in the "ruff" with tons of potential to be an incredible lifelong sidekick for the right person. If you have the time and resources to invest in this scruffy guy's future, submit an application to schedule an introduction and see if it's a match! -Can Live with Kids: No, due to his bite history we will be requiring Koda to go to an adult only home. -Can Live with Cats: No, Koda has a high prey drive and needs a home free of cats and other small animals. -Can Live with Dogs: Yes, Koda has tested fairly well with other dogs at WHS. Everyone will need to meet at the shelter first to ensure they're a good match! -Can do Apartment Living: No, this high energy guy was mainly an outdoor dog in his previous home and would not do well in an apartment. A home with a fenced yard strongly encouraged! -Potty Trained: Unknown -Bite History: Yes, Koda "got in the middle of two teenagers fist fighting" in his previous home which resulted in a bite. Please ask staff for more details. -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, at least one private lesson. -Energy Level: High -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Neuter/microchip View full description »

He already knows sit and down and is VERY food motivated, which will help with his continued training! Keep in mind that Mace is a PUPPY and will require more attention and patience than an adult dog. Initially he can be unsure of new people/situations and he will need continued SLOW exposure to new things he will encounter in every day life. If you are interested in meeting with Mace, please start by filling out an application to see if it's a good fit. View full description »

She was recently adopted and returned for reactivity on leash, so adopters will need to be willing and prepared to help her work through this reactivity in her new home. She may do best in less heavily populated areas to help manage this while working on training. View full description »

We're still learning more about Quinn's sociability with other dogs through daily playgroup sessions, and while Quinn has never had any aggression/issues, she does tend to get overwhelmed by certain dogs.
