1. Sheba
HI, I'M SHEBA! Resident chaos queen! Okay, okay, before you scroll past me because I sound like a handful, hear me out... I promise there's a really good dog underneath all this chaos. I just desperately need OUT of here.I absolutely LOVE going for walks! Sure, I've been known to tow my human around like a little freight train, but I'm working on my leash manners, and I'm getting better! Especially if we stop for treat breaks!!!! Listen, I would probably sell my soul for a snack. I'm incredibly food motivated, and the Kong Wobbler is basically my favorite invention ever. Give me something to work my brain, a few tasty treats, and a chance to burn off some energy, and I can be a happy girl! I also LOVE other dogs, so having a canine buddy would be pretty awesome.

Hi, I'm Rango! I'm a handsome Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as my personality! If you're looking for a sweet, friendly, lovable boy, I might just be your guy!I absolutely LOVE people, and I get along great with other dogs, too! I'm a social butterfly who just wants to make friends, soak up some love, and find a family to call my own.Now, in the interest of full transparency, I do have one tiny flaw... I'm not exactly the groomer's favorite customer. Look, nobody's perfect, okay?! I promise my endless sweetness and all-around good-boy qualities more than make up for my questionable salon etiquette!Seriously though, I'm a pretty fantastic catch, and I can't wait to show someone just how much love I have to give.
