🎃 No tricks, just treats. Meet Berley! 🐾
6.5 years - 98 lbs
📍Northern Illinois

If you're hoping to find a little magic this Halloween, Berley might be just the treat you've been waiting for!

This lovable, gentle girl has no interest in spooky surprises. She's much more interested in morning walks, backyard adventures, belly rubs, and keeping her favorite humans within paw's reach.

Berley is a happy girl who enjoys her daily walks (although rabbits and squirrels can make those walks a little more exciting!). She's well-mannered around larger dogs, loves meeting new people, and is quick to settle once the introductions are over.

And talk about a sweet set of house manners. Berley is fully potty trained, knows her basic commands, sits patiently for meals, and thrives on a regular routine. She's a wonderful car passenger, loves her chew bones, and will greet you like you've been gone for a hundred Halloweens when you walk through the door!

She's not a fan of the vacuum or bath time, but she'll put up with a little nonsense. What she really wants is to be near her people, whether that's keeping you company while you go about your day or curling up beside your chair for some well-deserved affection.

Berley clearly had a wonderful foundation with her previous family, and it shows. She's affectionate, well-mannered, and seems to have a knack for knowing just what's expected of her.

Forget the tricks. Berley is all treat! 🍬❤️ She's ready to bring a little extra love, laughter, and companionship to the lucky family who welcomes her home.

🍀 Meet Clover — A Grin That Could Light Up a Room! 🐾
📍Cleveland, Ohio - 5 years old - 105 lbs

Clover’s morning greeting comes with a full set of front teeth, a ridiculously goofy grin, and a tail that wags with enough force to make us question the structural integrity of the walls. 😂 She’s a happy girl with a sweet heart, and she’s showing more of her personality every single day.

💚 A little about Clover:
🏡 Fully house-trained and ready for home life.
🐕 Loves her Bernese foster brother and would likely enjoy a canine companion.
👧 Wonderful with kids, from her resident children to visiting little ones.
🦮 Walks beautifully on a loose leash - even the kids can handle her.
🚗 A great car passenger and adventure buddy.
💗 A growing affection-seeker who is discovering the joy of asking for belly rubs and leaning in for love.

Clover is happy snoozing near her people, snoring away behind a work-from-home desk, or proudly parading around with her favorite big tennis balls.

She's a little reserved with unfamiliar adults and appreciates gentle reassurance when something carried overhead makes her nervous. Give her time to feel comfortable, and you'll get to see more of that lovely personality shine.

🌿 Clover needs a fenced yard where she can safely explore. She's untested with cats.

She's ready to bring the smiles, the snuggles, and the spectacular morning grin! 💚

🌸 Meet Chenoa 🌸
📍Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area
5.5 years - 68 lbs

Chenoa's journey began in a puppy mill, and she's still learning that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. She's timid around new people and unfamiliar activity, but once she begins to trust you, her loving personality shines! 🥰

💕 Chenoa loves being close to her people, soaking up pets, and giving the sweetest look when you dare to stop! She even squeezes between you and the other dog to make sure she gets her fair share of attention. 😂

🐶 She does wonderfully with an older male Berner, is gentle with young children, and doesn't mind the ducks in her foster family's yard.

🏡 What Chenoa needs:
🌷 A patient, understanding home willing and able to take things at her pace.
🌷 A securely fenced yard to keep her safe.
🌷 A calm environment and predictable routine.
🌷 Support to continue helping her build confidence and skills.

Chenoa has already made progress in her foster home, and with time, patience, and love, there's so much more potential waiting to bloom. ❤️

Skye is putting her floof to good use! She’s taken on a new role as an unofficial therapy dog, joining her mom at work and spreading happiness one client at a time. With all the love, attention, and cuddles she’s getting, we’d say she’s pretty great at her new job!

For dogs, sniffing is one of the ways they learn about the world around them. Their sense of smell is incredibly sensitive, allowing them to detect and process scents that we can’t.

When your dog stops to sniff, they’re investigating their surroundings and gathering information. That mental work provides stimulation and enrichment, which is why allowing your dog time to sniff and explore can be an important part of a walk.

So the next time your dog stops to smell that same patch of grass for the tenth time, let them take their time. They’re not just smelling it. They’re learning from it.
