LUNA
5 years old, German Shepherd Mix
She has been with us for a long (LONG!) time and ready to find her forever home. Luna is an incredibly special dog. She loves people and is incredibly eager to please. She has had extensive positive reinforcement training and has all her cues mastered and impeccable manners. Luna does love to play with other dogs but best in a home as the only dog. We are looking for an adopter who has previous shepherd, or other herding/high drive dog experience. FMI visit: almosthomerescue.net/adopt
DUNCAN
3 years old, Terrier Mix
EDDIE
Duncan is a spirited terrier mix who takes his job of “terriering” quite seriously. He is a quirky guy who thrives in a predictable routine with plenty of physical and mental outlets. Duncan loves to play with other dogs! He goes to daycare/training twice a week. He is a lot of terrier for cats, but a dog-savvy cat (who runs the show) would probably be fine. Respectful kids with dog experience in the pre-teen to teen years might be a fit for Duncan. FMI visit: almosthomerescue.net/adopt
House and crate trained. He tends to exhibit behaviors of over-arousal and overexcitement (jumping, mouthing). Think of Eddie as a full-size puppy. He has been working with one of our trainers and is doing well with his management plan. He is a quick learner and really loves his people. He enjoys being outside and playing with other dogs. He plays well and loves a good game tug with toys. Parents and kiddos comfortable with dogs who are on the over-exuberant side will be the best fit for him. FMI visit: almosthomerescue.net/adopt
