FLYNN

MEET FLYNN!

Flynn is a 6 year-old cuddle king. Of course, he’s happy in any situation that involves his people, but he absolutely loves to run, chase balls, and is especially fond of riding in the car. If he had the choice, he’d be sitting up front with his foster dad, but when he’s in the back seat, his favourite spot is with his chin on his foster dad’s shoulder, watching the world go by!

Flynn is not only a show stopper, but also a love bug. At home, he can most often be found having a snooze, hanging out with his two foster brothers, or shadowing his foster dad. He gets along really well with people and big dogs, and doesn’t have any aggressive tendencies towards them.

Being that he’s a spunky boy, he still had lots of energy to run and play, but he also knows when to be quiet and relaxed. Flynn would prefer a home with big dogs (little dogs are a bit much for him), but he’d also do just fine as an only dog, and the only apple of his person’s eye! He’s a very low-maintenance kind of guy, but he does have daily medication for low thyroid levels. Flynn has so much love to give, and he will be an amazing addition to the right family.

COCO

MEET COCO!

Meet Coco: Part Golden, Part Doodle, 100% Devoted

Coco is a 5-year-old Goldendoodle who came into our care with her buddy Ollie, an Irish Red and White Setter who is also looking for his forever home. These two were dearly loved by their owner, but after a move to assisted living, their person could no longer provide the wonderful home they had always known.

Coco is a sweet, devoted companion who believes that wherever her people are, that is precisely where she should be. Preferably within touching distance. Most of the time, you’ll find her curled up at your feet or happily parked beside you.

She is also a serious toy enthusiast. Give her a toy and she’s happy; engage her in a rousing game of tug and you’ve just become her favorite person. And she is true to her Golden heritage (approximately 62%, according to the highly scientific Coco Genetics Department) and absolutely LOVES to play fetch with a tennis ball or frisbee.

Coco is loyal and affectionate, but she does have opinions—particularly about her favorite things. She can be a bit domineering and proprietorial, so she’ll need an experienced owner who can provide consistent guidance and help her learn to share her home and belongings harmoniously with other pets.

She’s also quite the social chameleon. Coco tends to match the energy in the room, which means a calm household can bring out her best, while she is perfectly capable of becoming the life of the party when the occasion calls for it. In other words, she’s flexible—but she reserves the right to turn the fun level up to 11.

Food is another one of Coco’s great motivators (frankly, she has excellent priorities). She enjoys her walks and playtime and takes daily leash walks. She is fully house-trained, knows her basic commands, and is ready to impress you with her good-girl credentials.

As for cats, Coco enjoys a good game of chase. However, once the resident cat discovers that remaining perfectly still is a much better strategy than participating, Coco is happy to accept the new rules of the game and everyone can coexist peacefully.

Coco needs a good amount of her person’s time, attention, and companionship. She’ll do best in a home where someone is around much of the time and is willing to play with her several times a day. In return, Coco will repay that investment generously—with companionship, affection, laughter, and the kind of unwavering devotion that makes you wonder how you ever lived without her.

If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, enthusiastic fetch partner, professional foot warmer, and occasional household party planner, Coco may just be your girl.

OLLIE

MEET OLLIE!

Ollie is a 9 year old Irish Red and White setter that came into our care along with his friend, Coco, a Golden Doodle. They had been loved well by their owner but after a move to assisted living, she was not longer able to provide the wonderful home she had for so many years and reached out to us for help. We would love to see Ollie and Coco placed together but feel they can still thrive placed separately with families that can love and adore them as they are accustomed.

Ollie is a very easygoing boy with an exceptionally mild temperament. He is tolerant of the other dogs and is just as happy lounging on the couch as he is snuggled up in your lap. He’s somewhat active—he enjoys loping around the yard with the other dogs and chasing squirrels, but he’s not much for roughhousing. He’s never interested in wrestling with his housemates, no matter how much they try to convince him. Instead, Ollie will simply bark at to signal he’s had enough.

Ollie is very food-motivated and loves treats and chews. Toys don’t interest him at all. He sleeps with on the bed and has wonderful bed manners (unlike other Irish, who think sleeping on their person is perfectly acceptable! 😂).

Ollie is fully house-trained, and has earned full house privileges. He knows basic commands like “sit” and “down.” Ollie can be quite vocal when he wants something—he’ll happily bark to let you know it’s time for food or treats!
