BAM BAM

Great Dane
5 years old
Male
120 pounds

Hi there! I’m BamBam. Just like the little hooligan I’m named after, I’m a very big and strong boy. But all I want to do is snuggle up on the couch on a rainy day and nap. I do like to be outside and go on adventures though, somewhere with wide open space so I can show you my speed.
I am dog selective, but I’m working on my manners. I do have a BFF though and her name is Pebbles, maybe you’d like to adopt her too!
As long as you are always there, my love will never need repair! And so I bend on bended knee my dearest new family, will you adopt me? - BamBam

Kids · 7+
Dogs · Yes
Cats · No

I’m Cosmo—an outta-this-world dude looking for a patient family, plenty of snacks, and a soft bed to sleep in at night. I am just a boy at heart—I may be a year and a half, but there is a lot of puppy left in me! I am wonderfully crate trained and know a couple basic commands, but I’m still learning all there is to know about this great big world. I really am eager to love, and I am sweet as can, but even a big boy like me gets scared sometimes! So I’ll need a family with sturdy and respectful children 7 +! I love other doggies, but cats and I just don’t get along. I would love very much to go home with a nice family who will take the time to really love me, play with me, and teach me all I need to know. Is that too much to ask? Boy, I hope not—there’s a whole universe of possibilities, and I just can’t wait to explore them with you!

Looking for just the right pup to join your family? Take a swing and knock it outta the park with me! My name is Dodger, and on behalf of Family Dogs New Life Shelter I would like to thank you for taking the time to review my fellow canines and consider us for your family. Sure, you could choose any puppy, or little lap-lovin’ fuzzball, but you got a bases-loaded, bottom-of–the-ninth home run right here with Dodger! I enjoy game time and sturdy kids, plus I get along great with other dogs, just don’t expect me to share the field with cats. Not only can I hit a home run, I also enjoy practice time to work on good manners, and am doing excellent with my crate training. I just need a loving family willing to step up to the plate and recognize what an All Star I am.

Turn around, bright eyes…
Turn around…Every now and then I know you’ll train me to be the girl you want me to be. But every now and then I know I will cry if you are not around. Every now and then I know there’s no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you, but playing with other dogs, respectful kids 5+, and dog-savvy cats is pretty great too. Every now and then I should spend some time in my crate—like while you’re away at work—but I’ll be okay with that because soon you’ll be home and I know there’s nothing better than being by your side, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for you. A total eclipse of the heart.
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, bright eyes, turn around and come adopt me!

It seems that my find-a-family meter is on the Fritz. Maybe the batteries went dead? I guess I’ll just have to make do without it. Can you help me out? I’m searching for a family that loves Huskies, I’m a pretty chill one, so they’ll hit the jackpot. I get along great with other dogs, dog-savvy cats, and respectful kids 4+. Crate trained already too, and I know how to sit and shake. I’m a fan favorite around here, but I stay humble. I’m starting to think maybe I don’t need that find-a-family meter after all…

MOCHI

Pomeranian
8 years old
Female

Kids · 10+
Dogs · Yes
Cats · Yes

Everyone has a favorite dessert, some say that Mochi is an acquired taste. I say the more times you try it, the more it grows on you. You just have to ease into it. Kind of like me. I like to take my time, take it slow. Fast movements or grabby hands are just not my jam. Maybe jam is your favorite sweet treat and if so, that’s cool. I’m a mature lady and I need to be treated with respect. I can’t hear like I used to, and I know a lot of people think I look blind but I’m not. I just don’t see 100%. If you are looking for a chill lil lap dog who doesn’t mind other pets, then I think I could get accustomed to you.

OLIVER

Blue Heeler
2 years old
Male
40 pounds

Hi! My name is Oliver! I am about 2 years old. 

Have you seen that show Bluey? Because that is exactly what I am! I’m a Blue Heeler aka Australian Cattle Dog. Now, don’t get me wrong, I can be a Couch Potato, or a Tasmanian devil, but there is no in between. As much as I like doggy friends, I do prefer that they keep their distance from me and my things. I’m just not the best at sharing. I female buddy will suit me best, and no cats please. So if you have older kids, like adventure followed by movie night and can handle a dog with brains galore I might be the boy for you!

Oh? You like pretty things? Then check me out, beautiful on the outside and even prettier on the inside! If you want to strut in style, I promise to keep you looking good and feelin’ fine. Besides, what’s more stylish than adopting a rescue pup? At 11 weeks old I am still just a baby, ready to learn all that you have to teach me. Being just a puppy means that I’ll need plenty of training, guidance and attention so I’ll grow into the best dog I can be, so I’ll be ready for you to show me off, so I’ll be ready to shine. So what do you say? You feelin’ fancy?

“Yabba-Dabba-Doozie!” I’m Pebbles! I’m a social girl who loves to be with my people. I absolutely love going on walks and being adventurous outside. Whether they’re big like me or as small as a Chihuahua I adore being around friends (especially my BFF Bam Bam, who you can check out above cos he is also looking for a home. Maybe you want two gentle giants?!) I like to spend my days lying outside soaking up the sun or cuddled up next to you in bed. I am a super smart girl, I just let my stubbornness get in the way sometimes. But hey, we’re all working on ourselves, right? I also get along well with cats and rumor has it I am housebroken too. You don’t have to head all the way to Bedrock, just request a visit at Family Dogs New Life!

Oh man, I really took it there with that one, didn’t I! Yes, I am looking for a forever home and a family to dote on, but I’m not feeling sorry for myself about it. I’m a happy fella all smiles and gentle tail wags just waiting patiently until my day comes! I know that it will cos I am a wonderful boy who’s great with other dogs big and small, though I don’t wanna share my bones, and I enjoy the affection of respectful children 10+ too. I’m even crate trained and housebroken.

PHOENIX

German Shepherd Mix

Female

Kids · 8+
Dogs · Yes
Cats · No

We all know the story of the Phoenix: rising from the ashes, reborn to live anew. Some even say that this magical bird is a symbol of divinity and life. Well, my name is Phoenix, and I have the same story—well, sorta, if you wanna get all dramatic about it. From the streets to the shelter, found as a stray and no one came looking for me. Ok, so it’s a story you’ve heard a hundred times. Maybe it’s not the mythical, magical tale of fire and rebirth, but it’s my story and I am still looking to be reborn... I’m looking to be the divine canine in your life. I promise to keep my nest clean, since my crate training skills are coming along pretty darn well. I can also harmonize with the furry flock, so if you have other dogs we’ll get along just fine, but cats are just too darn fun to pester. I am full of energy; I love to go go go and spin spin spin! So a family with sturdy kids 8+ who give me plenty of training and let me join them on all of their adventures will have me flying high. So how about you help me spread my wings and become your magical bird—or I guess magical dog would be more like it!

My adoption fee is $300 and includes microchip & registration, neuter, reduced-cost training class, veterinary exam, leash/collar, food sample, toy & treat packet.

Let my love rain down on you. There’s no need for an umbrella, I promise you’ll want to soak up all the sweet, gentle affection I have to offer. I just ask that you take it slow and easy, I’m a timid girl and I like a gentle touch. A family with kids 5+ will suit me best and other pets like dogs and cats are just fine by me. Once I settle in and feel safe, I love to play just as much as I love to snuggle. I’m also crate trained and working on hard on my house manners. So put on those rain boots and jump in!

RYE

German Shepherd
7 years old
Male
70 pounds

Hi! My name is Rye! I am about 7 years old! I am your typical German shepherd, so if you love the breed you’re sure to love me! I tend to have a lot to talk about; telling you when I want attention, when I want my food or when I think other animals are too close for comfort. I would do better in a home, where I did not have to share any attention or toys with big dogs :) And no cats please. I am smart as can be, am kennel trained and love nothing more than making my person happy.
I bet you can’t find a more handsome GSD, I dare ya!!

I’m smart and sweet and friendly. Great with other dogs and sturdy children too. Already crate trained and housebroken, and I know just about every trick you can think of. I know it sounds like a fairy tale, but really it’s true! All this and I’m just a year old too—I have so much potential. That means that I’m full of puppy love and always ready for an adventure. Oh, the stories we can write together! None of them will include cats, though, so I hope that is OK. I’m ready for my fairy-tale ending…are you?

My name is Toro, and I am one handsome Husky. I’m sweet natured and full of life; I’m plenty adventurous, but I also love to just chill when the time is right. I do wonderfully in my crate, and I promise it is a great start to everything else you wanna teach me! I also get along great with all the other dogs here and I enjoy the company of sturdy children 8+, but I hope this doesn’t come as too big of a surprise to you husky aficionados… cats are a no-go. If you ask me to ‘sit’ I’ll oblige and if you ask me to ‘come’ I’ll think about it. LOL!  I don’t mean to cut this short, but I think it’s time you hurry in and meet me!

Life. It is where the meaning of my name is derived and believe me…I’ve got a zest for it! I’m a very outgoing and energetic little lady. I have no clue as to what the word shy means. I want to be all up in your business all the time. Whether that’s lying next to you, hanging out while you make dinner, or laying on the bathroom floor while you take a relaxing bath. I. Will. Be. There. I’m still working on being the goodest girl I can be; there is so much puppy in me, but I am eager to please and easily trainable. I like to play with other dogs, but some dogs get overwhelmed by my rough & tumble play style, dog parks aren’t really suited for me. Cats really aren’t my cup of tea either but sturdy children, I love them! Let’s get out and enjoy life, whatever you want to do I’m so happy to do it because it’s with you.
