	Ginger Hi, my name is Ginger. Don't let my age fool you - I am bursting with energy. I like smaller dogs but may be ok with larger dogs - just bring your buddy down to meet me. I think cats would be way too fun to chase. I would like an active life style and would love to go hiking. I would also like to go to obedience training so I can learn to walk nicely on a leash. I may be too energetic for smaller children so 6 years old and up would be best for me. Children: Over 6 years old Dogs: Seems ok with. Cats: Not good with cats   Age: 7 Years Sex: SF Breed: Labrador Retriever / Pit Bull

	Kelly Smart as a whip and ready to show you what i know!  I enjoy being outside with you and could make an excellent walking companion.  I have been okay with most dogs here but, seem to not really care if they are around or not.  I prefer to be with people.  I am a little aloof at times and am asking for older children so that I can have my own space to relax in.  I would like 8 and up or so.  I am very curious with small animals and may be best suited for none.  Children: No kids under 8 years. Dogs: Seems ok with. Cats: Dog Savvy only. Age: 6 Years Sex: SF Breed: Canaan Dog/Border Collie Mix
	Suli I am a bit of a sassy girl, loving to be my own boss.  But, I am willing and will work hard to win you over!  I already know a lot of the basics, so somebody loved me sometime.  Sadly, I wound up homeless when my family did not come to claim me.  I seem to be okay with other dogs here and don't seem to mind cats.  I would prefer older children if any. Children: No small kids. Dogs: Seems ok with. Cats: Seems ok with. Age: 6 Years Sex: SF Breed: Labrador/Chow Mix
	Tut Calm, willing and a little anxious at times...I am a nice blend of well mannered and aiming to please.  I know several of the basics already and have shown that I enjoy being able to interact with people.  I prefer gentle play, fetch is my favorite. UPDATE: 8/13- Sue thinks I would do well with dog-savvy cats, and dog-savvy OLDER KIDS (10 and up). I have done well with several dogs here, so dogs of similar energy levels should definitely meet me. Children: No kids under 10 years. Dogs: Seems ok with some dogs. Cats: Best with dog savvy cats.. Age:4 Years Sex: NM Breed: Boxer/Shep Mix
	Riley Hello! I'm Riley and I'm full of energy! I like to go, go, go and would make a great hiking or jogging companion. I have a strong personality and am still working on my manners, so I need a firm owner who is willing to help me learn. Children: Best with older children Age: 1 Year Sex: NM Breed: Boxer/Pit bull Mix
Executive Director Loretta's Staff Pick!	Sadie I am in foster care, please call the shelter to meet me Foolish and playful, I enjoy a good came of catch me if you can!, fetch is fun too but, I don't always like to bring the toys back.  While I do love attention and one one one time, I also enjoy my own time.  I have a mildly independent streak and do appreciate being able to investigate things at my own pace.  I do have a very willing, nice demeanor overall, seem to be just fine with most dogs I have met here and should be a suitable match for a home with children over 6. Children: No kids under 6 years. Dogs: Seems ok with. Cats: May chase. Age: 2 Years Sex: SF Breed: Collie Mix
