Blue
"I'm just one of a bunch of blue dogs – let's see, there's the Blue of Blue's Clues, but I'm not much of a detective; and there's Blue Dog, who is a painting and very cute, but not my type; and there are the Blue Dog Democrats, but they aren't really dogs and I don't do politics; and then there's Clifford the Big Blue Dog. Oops – he's red. But we have a lot in common. Clifford loves to run around. I love to run around. Clifford loves people. I love people. Clifford is big, and I'm big, but not THAT big. He's a bit older than I am – he's supposedly 2, but he has been 2 for more than 50 years! He has a home and loving family, and I want that more than anything! Will you be my family?”

Josie
"Well how do you do, I am Josie, and let me start off by saying that if you got a treat I’ll take a sit just for the said treat. Now, I got to say, I do love attention and running around outside to explore! When we meet, if you take me out to the doggie park and start handing me treats well let’s say you and I will be a match!”

Audi
"I'm like a finely tuned engine, going from 0 to 60 in seconds, and you'll admire my good looks. I'm full of curiosity, not to mention energy. My ideal family would be one that loves to spend time being active. My background is in herding, since I seem to come from border collie and great Pyrenees stock, but I certainly don't expect you to get livestock just for me! All I want is lots of love and time to stretch my legs. If that fits your bill, let's have a visit.”

Isabel
"Hi, I’m the lovely Isabel! I’m a happy-go-lucky older gal! I may be an oldie but goodie but I still have some spunk for my age. I am always ready to have a good time with people and would fit in great with someone who likes to go on walks. I’m ready to spread some cheer around. If you have any potential doggy friends, I’d like to have the chance to meet them first before we become official fur-siblings. Please give a pretty girl like me a chance to have a forever home with you!"

"Hey there! My name is Kya. I am a sweet girl that would make the best adventure buddy! I am a very quick learner and respond well to clicker training. So far I have learned to sit, lay, roll over, and shake! I do really great on walks and enjoy a good snuggled nap after. I really like having friends and love playing with other fellow pups! I look forward to meeting you someday!"

Big Boy"They don’t call me Big Boy for no reason! I have a big body with a big heart! I am a charming boy who just wants attention and TREATS! Yum! I’ll be ready to sit for a tasty treat and even shake your hand. I love food so much that I would prefer to be left alone with my food as I chow down on it. I do not share with anyone! I enjoy being around people but I prefer to go to a home with no children. I need someone strong enough to handle my strength on the leash because sometimes I forget how strong I can be. Come by and meet me! I’ll be ready to lean on you and love you! And I hope that you’ll love me right back. I can’t wait to meet you!"

I will be sure to bring lots of cheer and joy to any home. I would like to meet any possible fur-siblings to see how well we get along. If you’re looking for a fun sidekick, then please give me a chance to fill that position!"

Charlie
"Hi, I’m Charlie! I’m pretty right? I’m pretty on the inside too but you’ll need to give me some time to show you. I have to admit…I do better with the ladies than men, and older kiddos would be best for me. Someone spent a lot of time teaching me tricks during the time I had spent time in a home…adjusting to life in the shelter has made me a bit nervous. Come by and meet me and let’s see how things go!"

Olive
"Hi, I’m Olive! Can you believe I’ve been at ADL for over a year? Crazy, right! I know my person is out there somewhere! Please tell me it could possibly be you! A little about me…I can be a bit shy around new people and places so I may need some time to adjust to my new home. Please don’t let that worry you because before you know it, I am as playful as can be! I love running, exploring, and enjoying my time outdoors. You might catch me rolling around in the grass with a squeaky toy in my mouth because I LOVE to play with toys! I also enjoy a good game of fetch and have impressive skills at catching tennis balls in midair. I’m very treat motivated! I’ll sit for treats and happily stare at you with puppy dog eyes as I wait for the treat. I would fit in best in a home with older considerate children and although I’d prefer to be the only furbaby, I might consider a dog-sibling too. So if you have any potential dog-siblings for me, then let’s set up a meet-and-greet! Overall, I’m a friendly and playful gal who just needs a special person who’ll love me no matter what. I may have a very serious expression when you see me at ADL but there is a silly side to me that you must see! Please give me a chance to show you how fun I can be!"

Dave
"Dave is the name and sit for the treat is the game. The rules are simple,  you show me a treat and if I sit down then you hand me over a treat! I love the game, there’s nothing better! Hopefully, you and I can play this game and we become best pals! Better yet we become a forever family and I can have a forever home. That will be the best!"
