Name: Dodger
Gender: Male
Age: April 27 2021
Approx. size/weight when fully grown: 50-70 lbs.
Breed: Shepherd Mix
History: Dodger came into our care from the reservation. Dodger is a curious, goofy, active boy! He loves to cuddle and sit on your lap (although he doesn’t know he’s big so shhh don’t tell him)! He is a sweetheart who loves people- especially kids! He does tend to bonk his head on everything and knock into you when playing - so no really young kids for him that can’t take a little knocking around by accident! Like a true puppy, he loves to chew toys and have some playtime with his pals, although he does need a little reminder sometimes not to be too rough! He loves going for car rides and walks as well; there is always something new he wants to explore. Although he looks forward to his daily crate nap time in the afternoons, he does not like to be left alone for long periods of time. He loves to be with his people, and is often found underfoot in whatever room you enter!

Update - May 21st - Dodger has been returned to care at no fault of his own, so he is available for adoption again. We are also looking for a foster for him.

Name: Cedar
Gender: Female
Age: Born Sept 15 2021
Approx. size/weight when fully grown: 60-80 lbs. (med-lrg height)
Breed: Box Mix
History: Cedar came in with the rest of the Tree litter from the reserve so that they could find great homes. The litter has been battling a bad case of Demodex mange and Cedar is the first to get healthy. She will need to keep her immune system strong to prevent the mange from returning.

We held off on adoptions for Cedar as she was showing some fear reactions to new people and dogs. We started Cedar in some reactive dog classes with Dogma where she is doing great. She can be shy when meeting new people and will need her new family to continue to help her build her confidence. Due to this we will not place her in a home with kids under 10 years old. She loves having dog friends but her play style is very in your face and pushy so if there is a dog in the home they will need to be good with that.
Cedar is such a loving puppy. She has a gentle soul and loves nothing more than to be around her people. Cedar loves to play with squeaky toys, stuffies, chew bones and play with puzzle toys, and loves to run around in the backyard. She is such a smart cookie, and learns super fast (especially when there's treats involved!). She loves to eat and did I mention she loves treats! Cedar is a very happy girl, she sleeps through the night! Cedar loves belly rubs, scratches, love, affection and kisses! She is shy at first, but wont take her long to warm up and get comfortable. Cedar is quiet in her crate, but can be busy if she's been crated for a while.
