“down” and is quickly learning new tricks such as “beg.”

He
moves very little while outside, wanting to be close to those he
likes. It seems like he would adjust well to any family with other
pets. He is more active while inside than he is outside. He
loves warm, dry places and the security of someone’s lap.
Dean
would make a great family dog as he is friendly, independent, and gets
along well with other dogs. The gateway to his heart is when the
area behind his ears is scratched. 
Camo
is a pretty and happy gal who enjoys having her rump scratched. She is a
bit time wagger and is friendly.

he is housebroken.
UPDATE:
Lottie is an easy going dog that loves people. She is great on a
leash, rarely pulling. She walks alongside you with her nose to the
ground, not weaving from side to side.
Freddie is a
cuddler. He enjoys the company of people and is not fond of the leash. he will do well with a loving, warm family.

fellow. He is alert and loves to sniff around. He is looking for a fantastic family to call his own.

seems comfortable with other dogs and is eager to please. Emily has
gorgeous coloring and is super sweet. She is a special little girl
who has lots of love to give!
Red listens to commands well and behaves like a tried and true friend.
Loves to walk on the leash or just sit and enjoy friendship. 
Lucia has gorgeous brown and white coloring, a soft coat and a beautiful face with green eyes. She would return all the love given and more. This charmer has been
someone's dear pet. When approached in the kennel she appeared friendly but a little insecure.
It did not take lots of effort to get her out and she seemed appreciative for the break.
She was willing to walk and does fairly well on the leash despite the fact that she wants to be as close to you as possible.
When the shelter person sat a couple of times to make notes she very gently put her paws in her lap and leaned up against me. 
Cozzette is confused by her current surroundings and would only pose for pictures laying down or while being hugged.
As scared as she is she wanted nothing more than to just be held. She has a personality waiting to bloom with just a little
love. She is very gentle and soft.
Because Teddy is a stray, it is unknown if he is good with children, cats or if he is housebroken. 
Because of her shyness, Sheila will do best in a family with children over 16 years of age.
She is an active breed, an Australian Cattledog mix, so will need lots of exercise - plan two 45 minute hikes in open space every day. 
Baxter
is great. He knows how to "sit" and how to
"shake". He is soft and friendly but may be a bit
nippy.
This smart
and capable fellow looks forward to continuing his basic training in a
loving and active home.

has energy to spare and is very responsive and cooperative.
