DOGS FOR ADOPTION

POSC, in our efforts to promote retention and happy, healthy relationships, provides either a 6-week training course or in-home management program for dogs who need a little extra guidance in adapting to their new home and pack members. Also, when adopting puppies under 1 year old, adopters are required to attend puppy socialization classes at their own expense.

I got my name from my beatific smile – have you ever seen anything like it? The mix part of me might be a Basenji, who shares the "secret" of my smile! Corgis are quite wonderful, and if you look up my breed, you will see I've been a pet of the Queen! I'd kinda like to be "the only game in town" so, single dog home, please (that being me). I'm quite the young lady at 2, and you can just see the playfulness in my eyes – I'll lick ya silly!

I am still a puppy, but who wouldn't want to grow up with me? I'll make you smile every time you look at me! I'm kind of a fun, wacky combo: Poodle with perhaps a soupcon of Dachshund. Not big on stature, but big on love, I will gladly learn the ABC's of behavior to be a part of you life. Kids are cool – heck, I'll even let 'em put ribbons in my hair!

I'm a tiny lady with a lot of charm. A victim of hard times, I was surrendered by a family that could no longer take care of me and my two babies. I have a great deal of love to give and although a bit shy, could be coaxed into waiting arms at the drop of a boa. I know that my babies will get homes, but I've already gotten my girlish figure back and I need some people to cherish. I could be a roomie with another dog, but best of all would be adult humans. My great big chocolate eyes will melt at the sight of you, and I would like nothing better than to cuddle with you for an evening of TV and togetherness. With a little TLC, I could be showing you my belly button like my namesake!

I've got a little worried expression, as you can see. Why? Because I'm so anxious to make a good impression! Let me assure you, a terrier mix is a very good thing! We are really smart. No real way to tell you my size yet, but I think I'll be compact enough to fit in every aspect of your life. I can handle kids, dogs, and my classes? Expect "A's" in appropriate peeing!

Soft 'n sweet − that's me: like a box of See's Candy! My mix is most likely Spaniel, which gives me the caramel tip ears. I'm still a very young pup, so you'll need me to learn the whole "sit, stay, heel" routine, but I'm willing. Kids? Dogs? No problem.

Choosy With Dogs, Cats Okay, Adult Home Only, Experienced Owner, Training Classes Recommended

A super active and affectionate canine, I want to discover what it feels like to PERMANENTLY belong with experienced dog people who truly care about me. I'm so grateful that I'm being fostered and that I'm learning proper "in home" behavior. I truly appreciate the fact that I no longer reside in a kennel run. BUT....I'd be even more happy and relieved to know that I'm living in the environment that I'll be in for the rest of my life. I've had lots of training and even if I do have a few behavioral issues, I'm a young, super guy who deserves a forever home. I walk well on a leash and going on long walks is one of my favorite things to do (besides getting lots of love from humans). You'd be passing up a terrific opportunity to find true love if you pass up the chance to get to know, and adopt me. By the way, I'm really cute and have a great, outgoing personality. And, F.Y.I., I really do NOT enjoy being an orphan. So, at least give me the opportunity to prove to you what an astounding critter I am. Call and let the people here know that you'd like to meet me. They'll be glad to call my foster mom and ask her to bring me over. Okay? Pretty please?

Adult Home Only, Experienced Owner, Best As Only Dog

I absolutely adore spending time with people and I used to get all excited when someone stopped in front of my kennel run. My heart would race at the thought of being taken out for some quality time with a human who will see me for the extraordinary fellow I am. Now, I'm extremely fortunate to be in a foster home and I'm finding out what it's like to truly be part of a family who loves me. I'm also learning appropriate "in home" behavior. Filled with energy, I love going for walks, playing with toys, and simply hanging out with people who will give me some of the attention and affection that I crave. I've been an orphan for way too long and as much as I appreciate being in a home now, I'm incredibly anxious be formally adopted so that I'll know that I have a permanent place to call my own for the rest of my days. I have many years of devotion to share with my guardians. Even though I don't appreciate the company of other dogs, I'm such a dazzling, delightful critter that you'll have no need for another canine in our home. I mean, not only am I great looking, but I'm full of personality and I can't wait to begin my life with my adopters. I'm ready to do whatever I have to do to prove to you that I'm the guy you've been waiting for!

I was brought here by my former owners, who became unable to care for me due to this economic crisis. I have never known anything but a loving home, and now I'm feeling more than a little stranded. So I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to come up with a Big Doggie Stimulus Package. How about "I'll be your best friend forever?" I know I'm a big gal, but if you haven't been hit as hard as some others, and you can afford to feed me and take the time to walk me, I will return the favor with undying love. I'll need some exercise, but who needs a treadmill when you've got me? Let's go on a hike, Buddy, okay? Huh? Okay?

Dogs Okay, Adult Home Only, Experienced Owner, Paid For In-Home Training

Hi, I'm Trevor. I was at Pet Orphans a very long time ago and I got adopted. It was great, living in my own home, but, suddenly, I was an orphan again. OUCH...THAT HURT! You know, I'm grateful beyond words that I'm being fostered in a wonderful home...with fabulous people. But, I still miss knowing that I am truly in the home where I belong...and will belong forever! I'm timid when I first meet people and I'm crossing my paws that this doesn't deter you from taking the time to get to know me. Once I'm comfortable with folks, I'm a real love bug who will look up at you with pure, unconditional love in my big, brown eyes. It will definitely be worth your while to give me the time I need to warm up. Being in the arms of someone who will share a couple of kisses and hugs with me, is glorious and I have many years of blissful togetherness to share with my new, permanent guardians. Just think...I've been living in a home for awhile now, so I'm used to it and this will make my transition to your home easier! There are other dogs in my foster place, so that shouldn't be a problem. In fact, bring your current doggie along here and let us meet. I just can't wait to have the opportunity to prove what a gem I am. I'll be thrilled to be the one who brightens up your day with my charms and undying devotion. I promise you that I will be the best canine pal you could ever hope for.
