Coolio is full of spunk and crazy amounts of energy! Even his cat mates think he’s too much, so he’d probably be best as the only cat or maybe in a home with a cat friendly dog that can put up with his excitement and jumping on them to play. He’d also do best in an adult only home or a home with older kids. We know he’ll do great in a home and might even mellow out a little once he’s not stuck in a cage all day.
Mark has had a life no dog deserves. He is very skittish and will flinch at fast movements, as he was probably treated badly in the past. He has issues with resource guarding and does not like to be left alone so will need a crate due to his separation anxiety. Mark is looking for an owner willing to work with him on a consistent basis to get him to come around.
Bo is a 6-year-old gentle fluff ball looking for a quiet home to call his own. He’s very chill, but does get a little nervous, so would do best in a home with older kids that know not to chase cats. He’s on a special diet that he would need to stay on to prevent urinary issues.
