Hi everyone! This is the most happy, sweet, fun-loving little man and his name is Axel! He came from a household that wasn't very kind to him but since staying with his foster family he has opened up and is showing us how much love he has to offer. He is 11 months old and about 46 pounds. He has a hearing impairment but still reacts to very loud or high pitched noises and tends to look in the wrong direction! Axel is working on breaking his counter surfing habit and his play-bites are a lot more gentle than they used to be. Axel responds so well to training with hand signals and facial expressions! He knows 'come', 'sit', and 'no' and takes his treats gently from your hand. He loves playing rough with his foster sisters (especially with tug of war) and he will need slow introductions to new canine friends. Axel is fully crate trained..to the point where he anticipates when he needs to go in and he does it before I tell him! His favorite thing to do is to chew on the toys scattered around the house, and this boy can chew through a Kong toy easily! Axel would do best with one other dog or as your closest companion! He loves cuddling--day and night. He is also house trained and we are currently working on leash training. He is a huge bundle of joy and is looking for a fantastic hooman to help take care of him!

Meet Thor! He is a 3 year old German Shepherd who needs patience and time. We do not know Thor's background, but we do know that he does well with women but is very unsure and vocal with unfamiliar men. It may take a few days to warm up to men, and while he is slow to trust, once he does he adores all the affection he can get. It took Thor three days to warm up to his foster dad. At first he would bark and growl from his crate, letting his foster dad know to back up and give him space. Once he figured out dad had treats and let him warm up at his own pace, he was won over. Thor is crate trained, knows basic commands and is treat motivated. His favorite thing in the world is chasing balls in the back yard. Thor is a sweet dog that needs an understanding and patient family that is willing to work with him and reassure him that he is safe. His perfect forever home is a one dog home with an experienced dog owner that is willing to put in the time to build his trust and understands the high energy nature of the German Shepherd breed. He will not do well with small children. He is fine with his 18 year old foster sister but did not interact well with the 15 year old girl, so a home with older children is a must as is a home without cats. Thor has some food allergies and will need special food. Thor's current foster family is willing to set up introduction meetings to help Thor trust his new family. We want Thor to have a smooth transition into his new forever home. If you think you can offer Thor the loving home he deserves, please reach out to us.

Who is ready for a fun loving, ball chasing, happy 8 year old sweet girl? This is Jenni! She has had a rough life up until October when JCAPL took her under their care. She was 15 pounds underweight, lived on her own in the streets and didn’t know humans could be kind and loving. Fast forward to now, and she is the perfect house dog! Weighing in at a solid 70 pounds, she loves to please and doesn’t quite understand that she really isn’t a lap dog! She is crate and house trained and loves to play. She will play ball and she loves toys though she has never met a toy she can’t destroy. Benebones are her go to now as they will last and keep her entertained. She doesn’t understand how big or old she is and still acts like a puppy, full of playful energy! She is learning to walk on a leash so a no pull harness is a must, and she is still learning that counters are for human food not her food! She doesn’t like small dogs or cats so she will probably be best in a one dog family. Jenni has never met a stranger and loves to please with a high five for her favorite treat of wild weenies. She is a strong girl and may be too strong for toddlers until she learns more manners. She loves the song by Tommy Tutone, “Jenny, I got your number” and will spin around for you as she dances! Jenni is so deserving of a family who will love her. Do you have room in your home and heart for her? Are you interested in adopting Jenni or another JCAPL pet you have seen?
