11. Carrieann
Looking for a professional coach potato/snuggle parter? Look no further! Hello, my name is Carrieann! I found myself at the shelter and I am sure I had owners, but no one came forward to claim me! I'm so thankful that the rescue pulled me because I am so small and everything was scary. I am still cautious but I love people and would love to find a nice, quiet home where I can be a couch potato. I love to snuggle and will gladly pay you in love and kisses. I am in a home with other dogs and cats. I get along with them well, unless I need a little quiet time and then I prefer alone time. I already raised my kids and I think I deserve a little peace and quiet.

13. Sheamus
Hi, I'm Sheamus! ❤️ I'm a sweet, loving young boy searching for the forever family I've been dreaming of. My favorite things are snuggling in laps, playing with toys, and happily chewing on a bully stick. I am shy at first, but I'm happiest when I'm close to my people and love soaking up all the attention and affection I can get. I'm also a smart pup! I'm doing really well with my house training and just need a patient, loving family to help me keep building on what I've learned. I can do well with other dogs with proper introductions and a little guidance, but I'd also be perfectly happy as your one and only best friend. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a gentle heart and lots of love to give, I can't wait to meet you. Maybe my forever home is with you!

14. Sebastian
DOB 4/7/25, weight 54 #
Hi there! I'm Sebastian, and my foster mom describes me as a super-energetic, happy-go-lucky teenager who is always ready for the next adventure. If you are looking for a dog who will keep you active, entertained, and smiling every day, I just might be your perfect match!
My Ideal Day
Read more about Sebastian
My perfect day starts with an epic game of fetch in the backyard. When we are not playing fetch, I love to start a game of "catch me if you can," so be prepared to keep up with my zoomies! After that, it's time to find some water. Whether it's a splash pad, kiddie pool, or even the backyard hose, I absolutely love splashing around and having fun in the water. Seriously -- I could play in the water all day. To wrap up the day, I'd love a long walk before settling in beside you for some well-earned cuddle time.
My Perfect Match
Energy Level: High! I need lots of daily exercise, playtime, and mental enrichment to keep me happy.
Home Preference: A home with a securely fenced yard is highly recommended so I can safely run, play, and burn off my energy.
People & Pets: Because I'm an enthusiastic young dog, I'd do best with active owners and older children who can enjoy my playful style. I have a strong instinct to chase cats, so I'll need a feline-free home. If you already have a dog, great, I'd love to meet them first to make sure we're a good playtime match!
Training: I'm already house-trained and crate-trained! I'm a smart boy who enjoys learning and would love to enroll in obedience class to polish up my manners.
If you're ready for a life filled with outdoor adventures, endless games of fetch, joyful water play, and lots of unconditional love, I'd love to meet you.

18. Samu
Hi! I'm Samu, I’m a complete gentleman with soulful eyes and a heart way bigger than my wrinkly forehead. I'm looking for my forever family, and I promise I'm worth it.
My résumé:
• Potty trained (nailed it)
• Crate trained (I’m sometimes reluctant, someone has to protect the human beds)
• Great eater. I'll finish my bowl, then politely ask what's on your plate
• Toy enthusiast. Squeaky, fluffy, ropey, I love them all
• Expert snuggler, especially on beds. Yes, I know which pillow is yours.
Read more about Samu
My social life: My foster brother Jax and I are tug-of-war besties, and we could play all day. I'd probably be happiest in a home with another playful pup to wrestle with. I also met some neighbor kids and was a total gentleman!
Still working on: Leash walking. The world is just SO exciting, and I'm learning that we don't have to sniff all of it at once. A patient human and some practice will help me get there.
If you want a goofy, loving sidekick who will make you laugh, follow you everywhere, and keep your couch warm, I'm your guy.

19. Jaxon
Hi there friend, my name is Jaxon! Are you ready to have a paw-sitively amazing life? Because I am fur-real looking for a couch to call my own!
Honestly, I'm not sure who I love more: other people, or other doggies, but I love meeting new friends, whether they are two-legged or four-legged. I really just cannot wait to meet YOU!
I really love going to the park and getting to play and run with the other pups, but I'm also just as happy to lounge around on the couch with you. I really just want my family around so we can all love each other. I'm still learning what kind of toys I like, but I will be sure to get back on here and update you.

I am really a lover-boy at heart. I am a world champion at wiggling my whole body with excitement. I'll show you the best of my wiggling abilities every single time you walk through the door and say hello to me again! I also show off my wiggling to new friends; did I mention I love meeting new people?
I would really love to be in a home with another dog. I really feel safe and comforted in the presence of a good friend, and possibly future sibling! I also love kids too, so if you have little ones in the family, I am very patient and promise I would be a fantastic brother to them. I have not spent too much time around kitty cats, but I don't have much of a prey drive. I'll let you know soon if I think I'd get along with your kitties.
I am fully house-trained and crate-trained - my crate is my safe and cozy space and I love to go in there to relax. I do need some guidance when walking on a leash, but I don't pull whatsoever!!
Thanks for reading about me so far, and I promise I will be back on here soon with more info for you! I hope I get to meet you and have a chance to show you some of my world class wiggles. If you have any questions so far, please reach out and ask to get in touch with my paw-sitively amazing foster, Riley.
Fur-real though, you're paw-some for taking the time to learn about me! I'm staying paw-sitive and hoping we can be friends fur-ever! HAVE A BOXER-RIFIC DAY!

20. Ursula
Well, hello there! My name is Ursula, and unlike the villain in
The Little Mermaid
, I’m really just a sweet girl looking for my happily-ever-after! I’m a playful Boxer who loves balls, having fun, and entertaining myself with my favorite toys. Fair warning, though: I’m a pretty serious chewer, so durable toys are definitely my love language!
I’ve learned that my crate is my safe space, and I’m potty trained, too! Since I spent time living outdoors before coming into foster care, I’m still learning about this big, exciting world and how to be the best family companion I can be.

I’m not a fan of cats or other dogs, so I’d do best as your one-and-only four-legged friend. With a patient human, consistency, and lots of love, I have so much potential to keep growing and learning.
Are you looking for a sweet, playful, loyal companion to share life’s adventures with? I could be your girl! Please come meet me soon. My forever home is out there, and I’m ready to find it!

Adopting a dog in Thompsons
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
