Mia, shar-pei
Mia is a female shar-pei dog being cared for at Shar Pei Savers.
Mia is the life of the party — she loves other dogs, and she'll love your kids. Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she's been spayed.
She still needs some guidance on proper house training.
From Mia's caretaker:
Mia is a seven year old female shar pei. She's good with other dogs, and loves to play. She's also good with small dogs, so she might be okay with cats, too. Mia does well with kids, too. What a catch! Mia is a very sweet girl who loves attention, and would love to be part of your family. She will be getting spayed soon, and she'll be ready for her forever home once that's done.

She's already vaccinated, and she's been spayed. She has work to do on house training etiquette.
From Dottie Rose's caretaker:
Meet Dottie Rose! She is not ready for adoption at this time, as she has had a hard past and will need time to learn to live in a home and trust people. She is approximately three years old, and was used as a breeder dog until they no longer wanted to use her for breeding. Her foster mom is providing a loving and patient environment and we look forward to seeing her personality blossom.

Latte, border terrier mix
Latte is a female border terrier mix currently housed at Canine Cupids.
Latte likes to socialize — she'll get along great with other dogs. She's vaccinated, and she's been spayed. Good news: she's potty trained!
From Latte's caretaker:
Meet Latte! Latte is a sweet and laid back 3 year old boarder terrier mix. Her favorite activities include taking naps, playing with her toys and taking more naps. She is a very sweet girl who is shy at first, but once she warms up she will lay at your feet and follow you around the house. She is very good at letting you know when she needs to go outside or is hungry, she gives you a good howl or a pat on the leg. Latte has not had an easy life so far and is looking for a forever home with people that she can trust. She currently lives in a home with two older dogs, she does well but is still learning about sharing toys and food. She has adapted very well so far, she loves to cuddle in bed with the other dogs and her foster humans. She would prefer to be in a home where she isn’t left alone for too long of a period by herself.

Sasha, German shepherd and Labrador retriever mix
Sasha is a female German shepherd and Labrador retriever mix currently housed at Canine Cupids.
Sasha is a social animal — she's happy to keep company with other dogs. She has all of her shots, and she's been spayed.
From Sasha's caretaker:
Meet Sasha! Sasha (aka Sasha-bear) is a nine year old German Shepard Mix, but don’t let that number fool you; she is an energetic girl with tons of skills! Although she might be a little shy at first, she warms up quickly, especially with a treat or two. Sasha knows many commands, including sit, down, shake (or paw) and has been working on target touching. She also enjoys showing off her mad ball catching skills. She is incredibly smart and is very food motivated, so I have no doubt that she will learn many new tricks. She LOVES walks and is working on leash manners. If the elements don’t allow for walks, she is happy with several toy tosses or tug-of-war games, then happily curls up on her bed and enjoys scratches and belly rubs.

Boss, treeing walker coonhound mix
Boss is a male treeing walker coonhound mix currently housed at Canine Cupids.
Boss likes to socialize — he loves kids, cats and dogs. His vaccinations are up to date, and he's been neutered. He's mastered his house training etiquette.
From Boss's caretaker:
Meet Boss! Boss is a 6 year old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix. He is smart, has a gentle nature, is potty trained, gets along with other dogs, cats and kids. He can be very excitable so because of his size, Boss may not be the best companion for young children unless they are dog savvy. Boss is capable of sneaking food off the counter and likes to pull while loose leash walking so he will need a family willing to work on his manners. He would love to run for miles, go for long walks or enjoy a fenced in yard.

From Sox's caretaker:
Meet Sox! Sox is a 10-month old female Pitbull Terrier Mix. She is about 45-pounds and full of lovable puppy energy. Sox is a very social, wants to meet everyone and check everything out with her puppy like curiosity. She has been exposed to children and does well with both young and old, but she can be quite energetic and easily knock over a youngster if not paying attention. Even with all this enthusiasm, Sox loves to snuggle and seems happiest when she is up on the couch with her people, snoring away.

Kiki Dee, boxer and American bulldog mix
Kiki Dee is a female boxer and American bulldog mix currently residing at Canine Cupids.
Kiki Dee plays well with others — she loves other dogs, cats and children. She's already vaccinated, and she's been spayed.
From Kiki Dee's caretaker:
Hi, my name is Kiki and I'm quite a cutie. I am a smart, goofy, fun-loving Boxer Bulldog mix about four or five years of age. I weigh under 50 pounds which makes me a nice size – not too big & not too small. I LOVE balls and toys. I get obsessed with balls, so I need you to limit my time with them. I also really like to play catch, wrestle with my furry friends and I swim too. I am very happy and get bouncy and jumpy with joy. I would do best in a home with older kids (13+). Since I get obsessed with toys and can occasionally be stubborn or bossy, I may do better with a person that has experience with dogs.
