Doobie

Name: Doobie - ID#A367377
Sex, Breed: Neutered male, black and brown Boxer and Rottweiler.
Age: Estimated to be 11 years old.
Shelter staff made these comments about this dog: Doobie's foster family says that he has obviously been trained in the past and that he seems to be completely housebroken. Doobie often goes into his crate to lie down when they are all hanging out downstairs though he prefers to follow his fosters around the house to be part of the excitement. Doobie is pretty calm and well behaved indoors. He enjoys pets and scratches and will let you know you are not done paying attention to him by gently bumping your hand with his head. He is a chill dog and is content to spend most of the day sleeping. He is the perfect work from home buddy as he will just lay on the floor while you work.

Name: Carmen - ID#A410067
Sex, Breed: Spayed female, tan and white American Staffordshire Terrier
Age: Estimated to be 8 years old.
Shelter staff made the following comments about this dog: Hi I was named Carmen after Carmen Amaya the Spanish flamenco dancer since I LOVE to do happy dances and tap my feet. I am looking for a full-time home that I can call my own. I'm good with house manners and go outside. I do not like the rain but will go outside if you come with me then we can quickly come back inside. I'm a social friendly girl so having dog savvy kids in my furever home is fine by me. I struggled with my weight so staff say I need a home where my family will help me keep my figure so I do not become unhealthy and can continue to live my best life. If you're interested in meeting me, please fill out an adoption questionnaire or ask my foster for more reasons why I'm perfect for your home.
