Hazel, Dogue de Bordeaux

Hazel is a sweet female Dogue de Bordeaux dog in the care of Canine Cupids.

Hazel will get along great with cats. No other dogs, please: She is looking for a dog-free forever home. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. Hazel is spayed and vaccinated.

Hazel's current caretakers say:

Hazel is eight years old and about 60 pounds but still needs to gain some weight. Hazel recently had cancer removed from her legs; she is healing nicely. She is the most loyal dog you will meet; she loves her humans and is eager to please. We have never met a dog that loves walks quite as much as Hazel. She loves everyone she meets, including children. Hazel has a ball/toy obsession so, although she loves kids, she should not live with them unless they have no toys.

Latte, border terrier mix

Latte is a lovable female border terrier mix currently residing at Canine Cupids.

Latteis happy to keep company with other dogs. She's already house-trained. She already has all of her shots, and she's spayed.

From Latte's current caretaker:

Latte is a sweet and laid back three-year-old pup. 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 would prefer to be in a home where she isn’t left alone for too long of a period by herself. She would also prefer to have a mellow dog as a companion or to be the only dog in the home. She would also do best in a home without young children but would do well with teenagers who could understand that she needs her space sometimes.

Sasha, German shepherd and Labrador retriever mix

Sasha is a female German shepherd and Labrador retriever mix in the care of Canine Cupids.

Sasha is the life of the party — she'll get along great with other dogs. Fear not: She's already house-trained. She is already spayed, and she has all her shots.

From Sasha's current caretaker:

Sasha (aka Sasha-bear) is nine years old, 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 is incredibly smart and is very food-motivated, so there is no doubt that she will learn many new tricks. She LOVES walks and is working on leash manners. Sasha has impeccable manners and will wait to eat her food until she is given the command, “OK.” She rarely jumps up and will never counter surf or eat your favorite pair of sneakers. She enjoys talking and will vocalize and chatter her teeth when she’s excited, but she doesn’t bark often. Sasha would do best in a home with older children and as either the only dog or with a larger canine sibling.

Boss, treeing walker coonhound mix

Boss is a male treeing walker coonhound mix being cared for at Canine Cupids.

Boss is eager to make friends, and he'll get along great with children, cats or dogs. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. He has been vaccinated and neutered.

From Boss' current caretaker:

Boss is six years old. 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.

Sox, pit bull terrier mix

Sox is a winsome female pit bull terrier mix being kept at Canine Cupids.

Sox needs special time to bond with you: She will need a home free of other dogs and cats. Good news: She is already house-trained. She already has all of her shots, and she's spayed.

Notes from Sox's caretakers:

Sox is a one-year-old, 55-pound female full of lovable puppy energy. She is a very social puppy and wants to meet everyone and check everything out. She has been exposed to children and does well with young and old, but, because she is so full of puppy energy, she will easily knock them over if not paying attention. Sox loves to go for long walks and playing fetch with her squeaky ball, and she enjoys a good swim once in a while. Even with all this energy, Sox loves to snuggle and is very happy when she is up on the couch with her people, snoring away. She is super smart, very treat-motivated, and looks to her person for direction with great eye contact. She will continue to need plenty of attention, training and daily exercise once in her forever home.

Kiki Dee, boxer and American bulldog mix

Kiki Dee is a female boxer and American bulldog mix being cared for at Canine Cupids.

Kiki Dee is a social butterfly, and she loves other dogs, cats and children. She is vaccinated and spayed. She's already house-trained.

Here's what Kiki Dee's friends at Canine Cupids think of her:

Kiki Dee is about four or five years old, and she is smart, goofy and fun-loving. She weighs under 50 pounds, which makes her a nice size – not too big and not too small. She really likes to play catch, wrestle with her furry friends and swim. She would do best in a home with older kids (13+). Since she can get obsessed with toys and occasionally be stubborn or bossy, she may do better with a person who has experience with dogs. Kiki Dee likes more of an active lifestyle: enjoying daily walks, occasional jogs, visits to the dog park or doggie daycare. A fenced-in yard would be a requirement if you're more of a couch potato. At the end of the day, Kiki Dee will be your cuddle buddy. She hasn't met a couch or dog bed that she didn't like. She tore her ACL and had TPLO surgery, and her foster family is helping with her rehab. She is doing well and will be good as new in no time.
