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 like kids and most other dogs, so I'll fit right in with your family! Hurry on down so we can get started on our new life together right away!

I was just a little gold fur-ball when I came in here, and now look at me! I'm a gorgeous teenager! I can't figure out why I'm still here instead of in my forever home. I mean, everyone here is very nice, and they have taught me how to sit and walk on a leash and all that manners stuff, but a girl like me deserves her own family! I promise I'll be especially good and loving playful and whatever you want, just give me a chance! Please?

Everyone says I have the softest fur around, and the sweetest disposition too! I can't wait to curl up on the couch next to you, and gaze at you with my adoring eyes. I'm a herder through and through, so I'll need some training and a job to do so that I don't end up herding the kids around (not that that's a bad thing), but I'm smart and eager to learn. Come and meet me!

They're calling me a "mixed breed" which means they don't know who my mama and daddy were, but I know! I'm 2 parts lovable, 1 part sweet, and 2 parts cute, which adds up to 100% awesome! I'd love to get to know you and spend the rest of my life in your family. All the relatives can play guessing games about who I look like. Maybe great aunt Beatrice? Anyway, I know I don't want to grow up in a kennel, so hurry down and adopt me, please.

I'm not a big guy, but I'm still a puppy so I may put on another pound or two. I have a puppy's enthusiasm and playfulness, but I'm little enough to live almost anywhere. You must have a extra little space somewhere where a compact fellow like me could curl up, don't you? We could be BFFs!

I look a lot like some of the other terriers here, but I'm the one with soft, naturally curly hair. Really, I didn't have to perm it or anything! I don't know why my old family had to give me up, but I can't wait to be in a real home again. I'm as sweet as can be, and full of love and enthusiasm. So please come and get me!

I'm part Lab, and part something else that made me more petite than your run-of-the-kennel labs, but I don't know what that was. But I’m the perfect size for almost any home, and since I get along well with everyone and am super friendly, I'll fit right in! I have a fabulous two tone coat that everyone envies. I’m ready to go for walks or play fetch or whatever you want! Come and meet me!

I'm a big goofy guy with spectacular ears. The rest of me is pretty spectacular too, of course. I'm still growing and plan to be a big dude before I finish. Right now I'm mainly interested in running and playing and anything else that sounds like fun. I'm a smart guy, so when we go to puppy classes together we can be the star students! That will be fun too, right?

Look at how I'm hanging on your every word – I'm a shmarty pants, I tell ya! I'm an adult who likes being with real adults: the only rapping I do is with my toenails. I get along with other dogs, too, but they'd be hard pressed to compete with my coat – Miniature Dobermans have the corner on the market of sleekness and "pet-ability." I'm small enough to take in a tote – but I think you'll want to hold me close…

It's official, I'm the most senior dog at Pet Orphans! But do you think those other guys give me the respect I deserve? Not a bit! I guess since I'm so agile and active they don't realize that I'm a later middle aged guy. To be honest though I'm ready to be out of this crazy place and into an adult home where all the attention can be focused where it belongs, on me! We can take walks together and watch TV and get tummy rubs, and you can tell me what a handsome dude I am… Yup, sounds great! Let's do it!

It's hard to believe, I know, but I'm coming up on my 1st birthday, and I'm still in a kennel! I mean, I'm the perfect combo of breeds--lab for the friendliness and corgi for the short legs. I've got a full sized heart and spirit in a more compact body! I've had all my basic training classes, and I passed with flying colors. Now it's just a matter of finding that perfect family to take me home. So come on in and meet me. I'll be waiting by my kennel door!

But I'm eating as much as I can, and running and playing and doing everything I can think of to get big and strong. Someday I'll be the King of the World! Or I could just be the best dog you ever had, and that would be even better. So come and meet me! Don't worry, I'm not scary at all, yet.

I may be the tiniest dog in the place, but that doesn't mean I should be overlooked! I'm full of love and would adore being your constant companion. And since I'm so little, I could go everywhere with you! I'm probably best in an adult home though. I get a little nervous around noisy children-- I'm afraid they might step on me! But I promise I'll love you enough that we won't need anyone else. And that's what it's all about, right?

Dog Friendly, Energetic

Just to be clear, saying I'm a Rat Terrier doesn't mean I look anything like a rat. It means my ancestors hunted rats. I mean, to compare a handsome dude like me to a rat would be more than a little insulting! Have you seen my eyes? I'm probably one of the best looking guys to come into Pet Orphans in years! OK, now that we have that straight, I should tell you I'm also very friendly and confident and would fit in great with any family. So let's get together and play. (If you have a rat problem, you'll have to talk to my representative about extra treats.)

They were going to call me "Hannah the Love Machine" but that wouldn't fit on my cage card. Anyway, I guess they figured that once you met me I would be so obvious that loving is my game that they wouldn't need to spell it out. If you're looking for a dog who is stand-offish and independent, I'm not for you, but why would anyone want that? If you want to run and play and cuddle and love, you know where to find me!

I was here as a puppy, and now I'm back and I don't know why! For some reason my family couldn't keep me. I'm trying to make the best of the situation, but you can imagine that after being in a home for a while I'm not too pleased to be sleeping in a kennel again. It would be great to be in a home with another dog or two, because I've gotten a little paranoid about being left alone, but any type of family will do! Please come!

I am one gorgeous boy, if I do say so myself! I have beautiful jet black fur and a bit of white at my throat. If we're going to any affair, even the most formal, I'm always appropriately dressed. And I'm just the right age--young enough to be full of energy and playful but old enough to not be a crazy puppy any more. All in all, I'm the perfect canine companion, wouldn't you say? So why aren't you here adopting me? Hurry up!

I'm a friendly, curious lab blend, just barely out of puppyhood. I'm a typical teenager, I guess, (without the acne) a bit clumsy and surprised at how big I've gotten. A little training and a lot of great walks and playing ball should get me in perfect shape to be your best friend!

Choosy With Dogs, Cat Friendly, Adult Home Only, Experienced Owner

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?

Well I'm the one who looks like I could be part Yorkie-- My fur is longer and silkier than some of the terriers.

I've been here a couple of weeks now, and I've got this place all figured out. There are several yards to play in, but I have to wait for one of those people to come and take me outside in order to play in them. Some of the dogs here like to play with me too, but some seem grumpy. They feed me pretty often, which is good because I want to grow really big. Now all I need is for one of the nice visitors to take me home! I heard that's the best thing of all, because then you have your very own people to play with you all the time! I'm waiting!
