There's no question that Durango has some Lab in him but his red coloring means he might have some other breed in him, too. Although he was very shy on lead when he first arrived at our shelter, Durango has been loving and outgoing from day one. In early January of 2017, he weighed 31-lbs and, with an estimated date of birth of March 2016, he may still have a little more growing to do. Durango seems to really enjoy the company of other dogs so we don't think he'd have any trouble acclimating to a home that already has a canine-friendly dog or two. He'd probably enjoy having a role model to learn from and to play with. If you're familiar with Labs, you know that they don't outgrow a lot of puppy behavior until they are at least two or three years old and Durango is no different. While he's not quite as mischievous in his kennel as is his brother, Deeds, Durango has a problem with staying in his kennel. Turns out this guy can climb like a monkey! Even our 6-foot kennels aren't much of a challenge so we have to make sure he's in a covered kennel when he's outside. What this means to an owner is that your yard is going to need at least a 6-foot wood privacy fence and, even then, we can't promise that would contain him. Some of his Houdini behavior might diminish as Durango matures but his new owner is going to have to be diligent about being outside with him to make sure he doesn't take a hankering to checking out the neighborhood as he can be pretty determined. An active owner who will keep Durango well-exercised both physically and mentally would be ideal for this sweet fella and, because he craves attention, he'd truly enjoy being included in as many activities as possible. Durango is quick to seek out your affection and returns the love twofold. He's just a really nice dog. If you would like to give Durango a loving and committed forever home, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him. He can't go to a new home until after he's neutered but we are taking applications on him now.

When Pax arrived at our shelter, he was such a sad sight to see. Not only did he have a horrible smell to him, but his coat was a dingy yellow, he had multiple engorged ticks feeding off of him, and he just sat and trembled with his head held low. After one of our wonderful volunteers gave Pax a much-needed bath, we discovered that his coat was white; we got rid of the ticks; and after a lot of reassurance and loads of affection from our staff, Pax started wagging his tail and greeting us at the door to his room. He's still a little apprehensive on lead and may be shy around new people but we're sure he'll continue to become more comfortable and confident. Pax gives very tender kisses (his name actually means Kiss of Peace) and he is just a wonderfully sweet young dog. Weighing 26 lbs and estimated to be around 18 months old upon his 5/11/17 intake date, Pax is probably about as big as he's going to be. With his loving demeanor, he's sure to be a wonderful canine companion to the person who opens their hearts and home to him. To find out if Pax would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him.
