Kid-Friendly Dogs for Adoption in La Crosse, WI: 27 Dogs Good with Children

Tortilla is 37lbs and ready to go home! She is a little nervous, so we don't recommend small children for her. She would do better with older children that are respectful of boundaries. She seems to do well with male dogs and does not seem to mind cats. Tortilla's adoption fee is $200 + tax. She is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting this house noodle, you can fill out an application on our website!

Tatiana will need some basic training and regular exercise. She's a pretty strong gal. Labs are a lot of fun and can be pretty rambunctious until they reach a more mature age (like 5, 6, 7, etc...). Tatiana is fun loving and happy. We do think she'd do okay with a male dog of similar size and with older kids.

She seems to do well with children and would not mind having someone to play with! Wednesday is approximately 40lbs and could stand to lose a few! We can't blame her for that; it's tough to stay away from the treats this time of year!

He seems to do well with low energy dogs, and cats as well. He doesn't seem to mind children, but due to him being a little nervous, he may need an older child who knows how to interact with animals! Pepper will come with all of his "safety blanket" items. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative! His adoption fee is $150 + tax. If you live in Portage County, a license will be issued at the time of adoption!

Puppies require a whole lot of time, patience, and training. They are looking for secure, committed homes, ready to keep them for the entirety of their lives. It's not always an easy journey. Sprout and her siblings should do well with other dogs, and they are all young enough to learn to interact appropriately with cats. Very young children might not be suitable as the pups develop manners and learn not to nip and chew. They need homes in which they won't be alone for long hours.

Lenore is finally done being a mom and now this truly special dog is waiting to find a new family. She loves people and wants nothing more than to hang with them. She has done a great job wrangling and raising her 9 babies. She is well mannered and happy-go-lucky. She might need a bit of basic obedience training but does pretty well with leash walking. We do think she would be okay with a nice male dog. Kids should be fine, too. We don't know about cats.

Claudette is a happy and active gal who will need a bit of basic training and regular exercise. She has a pretty delightful personality. We're thinking she would do fine with kids, but supervision is always necessary as she is strong and very bouncy. She potentially could do well with a respectful male dog, but she doesn't seem to be fan of other females, which is not unusual. No smaller animals would probably be best.

Ralph is a very sensitive, loving dog. He needs a home that is able to provide him with the exercise he needs. He has had some basic training and is intelligent and ready for more. Ralph has done well with kids and has been okay with other dogs. He has never been around cats. He would be a great companion for someone who is active and looking for a true partner.

Wrangler is an active, bouncy, and talkative dog who does like to make his opinion known. He has an enthusiastic zest for life. He will require regular exercise and might need a bit of basic obedience training. He is definitely a fun-loving guy who doesn't seem like he'd have a problem with other playful dogs. Cats are probably a no. Kids over 5 would be best. Not a dog for apartment living.

We're hoping to find Paisley a home that has some experience with cocker spaniels, as they can be rather high maintenance dogs. She would especially love a somewhat calm home in which she won't be left alone a lot. She will require some regular grooming to keep her coat tangle free, with extra attention on her beautiful ears and fluffy feet. She has done okay with male dogs and older kids. She has never been around cats.

The good news; they are so cute, smart, and will make you laugh. Puppy zoomies: HILAROUS. Bringing you stuff that they shouldn't have in their mouth: SOMEWHAT FUNNY. Playing with their toys appropriately: RARE OCCURANCE, but appreciated, nonetheless. They should be relatively easy to train, and puppies are great at learning. They are not so good at remembering, so they will need reminders! We are not sure how big they will get, but they should stay relatively small. They look like heeler/terrier mixes, but only a DNA test could tell. These girls have had their appropriate puppy vaccinations and are microchipped. Their adoption fee is $300. A portion of their adoption fee will be returned after they are spayed. The surgery will be done at HSPC at no cost to the adopter! If you are interested in meeting/adopting one of the puppies, please fill out a dog adoption application on our website www.hspcwi.org. The approved adopters will be notified for an appointment and will be able to choose a puppy best fitting for their home during their visit. We cannot hold puppies, so get your applications in to meet these little land shark equivalents!

He can be shy at first, but he comes out of his shell when he is with Blue (and with treats). Presley and Blue keep each other busy and out of your hair when you are trying to have time to yourself. You will have to listen to them play though, because they want you to watch them wrestle instead of the tv series you've been binging. They are the best of friends and cannot be separated. They may do well with teenagers or older children who understand boundaries. Presley is approximately 3 years old. Blue and Presley's adoption fee will be $100 for the pair. Presley is neutered, current on vaccines, micro chipped and heart worm negative. If you are interested in meeting/adopting Blue and Presley please submit a dog application on our website www.hspcwi.org. The approved adopter will be contacted within three business days for an appointment to meet him. If all goes well, Blue and Presley can go home the same day. All dog adoptions come with a leash, collar, toys and 3 days of food. The adopter is given copies of all medical records. If the adopter is a resident of Portage County a dog license will be issued at the time of adoption.

Zara is an absolute sweetheart who has won over our volunteers and the staff at the vet's office. She does seem to have had some basic training. She seems like she would do well with children and male dogs but we're thinking no smaller animals, like cats, would be best for her. She will need some regular exercise and enjoys a good cuddle, too. She would make a lovely companion!

Caesar appears to be a white German shepherd, if not a mix, and he looks great for an older dog. He's a sensitive, intelligent, and loving gentleman who has had some basic training. He's still pretty athletic and has been known to jump fences so a secure environment is important. He's well mannered and has done well around other calmer dogs and older kids. Cats? We're not really sure. He will also need some regular exercise, followed by some couch time. He would love a home in which someone is home most of the time. Help us find the perfect retirement home for this handsome and wonderful dog!

Nala is a very strong and active dog. She will require a lot of regular exercise and would make a great walking/running partner. She has had some basic training but would love more. She's a loving dog who did live with kids and has done well with other dogs. Cats are most likely a no as she does tend to chase them. She would make a great addition to an active family.

We had to work with Ahri for several weeks after her arrival as she slowly started to adjust to the shelter. Her whole world was upended so it was understandable. She would do best in an experienced home with a securely fenced yard. Ahri will not be the type to jump into someone's lap right away, for sure, but with time and a lot of patience, she'll become a person's most loyal friend. She will shed and require plenty of brushing to prevent her coat from matting. She has had basic training and has done okay with male dogs of similar size. She has done okay with kids, too, but we do not know about cats.
