Tp, shepherd mix

Tp is an adorable male shepherd mix being kept at Desert Paws Rescue.

Tp loves other dogs. Desert Paws Rescue, however, thinks he will do best in a home without small children. Tp is vaccinated. No need to worry: He's already house-trained.

From Tp's current caretaker:

[TP] is very smart, loves to learn and truly want[s] to understand what you are asking of him... TP is good in the house (besides stealing tissues), knows to stay off the furniture (if you prefer) and has learned not to jump up... TP is a very sweet and loving boy! He loves to be petted, get belly rubs, follow you around and be close without being pushy. Being still a youngster, he does like to play mouth a bit – nothing hard, just puppy stuff.

Apply to adopt Tp today at Petfinder.

Koko, border collie and Australian shepherd mix

Koko is a female border collie and Australian shepherd mix currently residing at Follow Your Heart Animal Rescue.

Follow Your Heart Animal Rescue recommends Koko be placed in a home without small children. Koko has had all her shots.

More from Koko:

I am a very shy girl... I am your typical border collie so if I am not exercised physically and mentally I will be destructive. I am walking so much better on leash... I will make the best dog for a family that gives me time to get comfortable and help me build confidence so I see that the world isn't such a bad place.
