Sundance - Bark Avenue Rescue -
k9 PROGRAM PARTICIPANT
Woo hoo - weeeeheee!  I’m Sundance and I am a 12 month old mixed breed.  I am friendly and SMART and want a home desperately.  I do all this cool stuff, like come when called, walk nicely on a leash, sit, lay down and still no one has come to my rescue!  I love to relax and take long naps at your feet.  But, when you want to play, I am all fun and games.  I am picky with what animals I share a home with, but I kinda like laid back female pooches (who doesn’t?).  Come meet me!
Please note: Many of the dogs will be photographed with a “Halti” head harness on their heads.  This is a training tool to promote polite leash walking.  To read more about the benefits of using Haltis, please click here.
Please  click on my picture to go to my personal page.  You can see additional photos and read sweet letters about me from my student!
 
 
        
Forte - Much Love Animal Rescue -
k9 PROGRAM PARTICIPANT
Hello!  I’m Forte!  My people at k9 think that I am a 4 year old shepherd/cattle dog mix.  So, I am not so big and smart as a whip!  I also have tiny adorable ears and really pretty eyes.  I am awesome on the leash.  Like, AWESOME.  I was held for a long time at the North Central Shelter because I was in a pending animal abuse case.  But, I am no worse for wear, despite my sad background.  So, now I am just looking for a nice home with people that will let me chew on bones, love me and take me on walks.  Are you it?  Come meet me!

Joss - Much Love Animal Rescue -
k9 PROGRAM PARTICIPANT
Smooch! I am SUCH a good girl!  I am a 5-6 year old lab/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix.  I am 65 lbs. of pure love and smiles.  I think people are totally amazing, dogs are pretty great (looove my foster brother and our doggie friends) and belly rubs are the best thing in the whole wide world.  I aim to please and am very relaxed and easy going.  It is just very important to me to be affectionate and snuggly.  Oh! Also, I am housebroken, love my crate and am very polite in the house.  So - calling all snuggle bugs!  I am here and looking for you!
        
Bear - Bark Avenue Rescue -
k9 PROGRAM PARTICIPANT
Bowwowowow!  Hi I am little Bear!  I am a puppy at only 8 months old, but still have some big boy skills!  I am an ace in class and know how to sit, come when called and walk nicely on a leash.  People think I am a probably a pointer mix - but I think I will be smaller than a pointer.  I am playful and I have beautiful big brown eyes and love to snuggle.  I like other dogs and could probably be friends with kitties.  Will you come play with me?

Midnight - West Side German Shepherd Rescue-
k9 PROGRAM PARTICIPANT
Snuggle, snuggle, snuggle...I am Midnight and I am a gorgeous, shiny, silky pure black shepherd mixed with some lab.  I have an absolutely beautiful face and super soft, sweet eyes.  I love to snuggle, lean, lick and just be near my person.  I would love a mom or dad that would take me fun places, and let me snuggle with them.  I think walks would be really fun too.   I am a really good boy!  Come meet me!  For more information - click here!

Tilly - Bark Avenue Rescue -
k9 PROGRAM PARTICIPANT
Oh my gosh - I’m Tilly and I am SOOOOOHOOOHOOOO much cuter than this picture.  I’m a wire haired terrier mix (read: no shedding) and I am a little one at only 8-10 lbs.  I am fun, sweet, totally affectionate.  So, like - I am the perfect dog!  I enjoy exercise and stuff, but, I would also like to lay on the couch with you or sit in your lap.  I am doing so well in class ‘cause I am so smart.  Oh, and I like other dogs a lot!  Come see me!
        
Stella - k9 connection -
k9 PROGRAM PARTICIPANT
Say cheese!  I am Stella!  Best guess, I am a 3 year old Smooth Coat Border Collie/Greyhound/total adorableness mix.  I mean, just look at that ear - will ya?  I am sleek, shiny, muscular and athletic.  I would love someone to take me on jogs or long walks.  I could rock the house in some type of agility class, in fact.  All that athleticism aside, I am friendly, quiet and snuggly too!  I can be a bit shy when you first meet me - but I get over it pretty quickly. Just look at that smile - oh, and don’t forget the ear!  Come meet me!
