8. Goldie
Goldie was once a lady that roamed the streets. She found herself with us and she would rather be anywhere else. She is intelligent and strong. She does have prey drive so would not be good in a home with other animals. She will be a loyal companion to anyone who wants to go on outdoor adventures.

9. Marley
Marley is a beauty, but timid. She would do well in a quiet home with room to roam. She will need structure, support, and leadership until she is more comfortable in her environment.

10. Rusty
Meet Rusty, a handsome 4-year-old border collie mixed with what we think is Great Dane. Rusty's world changed suddenly when his owner passed away, and it took some time for him to settle into a new environment. Now that he's more comfortable, he's beginning to let his true personality come out through zoomies, initiating play with other dogs and showing interest in toys. And treats? Yes, please!
Rusty is still a bit on the nervous side and takes his time sizing you up. But once he decides you're okay, he wants to be close to you, especially outdoors. He'll get right down to business when he goes out, then runs back to check in with you or back to the door.

His need for connection is one of his most endearing qualities, especially when he comes up and gives you a "hug."
Rusty is calm in the house and reliably house trained. He'll make a great companion for someone who likes a larger dog that doesn't demand a lot of exercise and wants to stick by your side.

11. Trix
If you're looking for an athletic, energetic, playful pup, Trix -- a 9-month-old wirehaired fox terrier -- might be a good match for you.
Part dog, part mountain goat, Trix is more fun than a barrel of monkeys -- and sometimes just as crazy! He's full of puppy energy, so be prepared for plenty of zoomies. But, like most youngsters, once he's tired himself out, he's ready to snuggle. Sometimes he'll sit next to you and put his head in your lap. Sometimes he puts his whole self in your lap! Don't worry - he only weighs about 20 pounds, so he's not too big to hold.
Trix is smart -- terriers usually are -- so he needs someone who will put all that intelligence and energy to good use.

Agility training would be right up his alley; he certainly has the athletic skills and the intelligence for it! He'd also be happy with a family with kids who can match his energy level or someone who enjoys long walks, hiking, and similar adventures. A fenced yard where he can run freely between adventures is a must for this pup.
If zoomies, laughs and snuggles sound like your kind of fun, Trix is ready to meet you!
