I can tell just by looking at you that you're a good egg. A mensch. A stand-up guy/gal/other. I bet you're so nice that, in haunted houses, the ghouls just tap you on the shoulder and ask you for a hug. You're probably so sweet that next week on Great British Bake-Off is "You" Week. You strive to be the person your dog thinks you are... but first, you need a dog. That's where I come in. Because if you're a good apple, I'm the caramel. If you're a breath of fresh air, I'm the rustling leaves. What I'm saying is,
Night and day. Right and left. Up and down. Ava and... Ava? Lots of things have two sides that are totally different, but inextricably part of each other. And so do I. There's Ava the timid. The cautious. The dog who ducks her head and runs away when a stranger comes around and needs time to build up trust. And then, there's Ava the cuddly. The lovebug. The one who wiggles with joy upon seeing a familiar face and loves to show off tricks (I can "sit pretty" like a champ! It's an impressive trick for a little dog and even more
You might think that the ideal season for Dairy Queen is coming to an end, what with the chilly winds and all. But I disagree. I think Dairy Queen time is just beginning! Hi. I'm Dairy Queen. And it's time for me to shine. I'm adorable and outgoing. I love people and will roll over for belly rubs. Want a cat who will play with you and keep you entertained? I'm on it! I even get along with other cats. I'm a phenomenal cat, ready to be a perfect addition to any home. I've never really had the chance, though. I'm two years
October is #SubaruLovesPets month and today is #NationalMakeADogsDay! Give you dog an extra hug and kiss from all of us at Open Door!
I know orange cats who get adopted in fall generally get named "Pumpkin" or, if you're creative, "Jack," short for "Jack-o-Lantern." Me, though? I'm a cat for all seasons. I'll be your boy all year long. That's why I'm named Maynard. Being someone's cat is a big decision, especially if you mean to make it a rest-of-your-life kind of thing, which I do. I'm only about two years old, so I expect the rest of my life to be a long time. That's why I don't take this lightly. I'm an affectionate cat and expert head-butter, but I need a minute to
Cheeeeeese! Wanna be my friend? We can do EVERYTHING together! My name is Bandit, but it's kinda a misnomer because bandits are criminals and I'm a law-abiding citizen and also a gentleman and a scholar. One thing I've learned is that, if you're a beefy boy like me, you've gotta be extra-gentle. I'm like 80 lb of muscle. I'm big and strong, but my strongest muscle is my heart! I love attention and being close to people. I gotta warn you- I'm a kisser! Sure, I can be a boisterous goofball. I'm eight years old, but you'd never know it
Some people's dream dog is a tiny, fancy-colored, fluffy, smooshy-faced, designer-breed puppy. The more merled and doodled and expensive-looking, the better. And some people's dream dog is a scrappy, wiry-haired, hot mess of a boy who is somewhere between 10 and 722 years old and looks like he's been living in a shack in the woods. I'm here for that second type of person. My name is Sherlock. I have a weird little skinny tail, but it wags gently every time I see someone I like. I have fur that always looks kinda grubby, even after bathing, but I love having my

Believe it or not, I'm almost ten years old. Yes, it's true. I'm like the Keanu Reeves of dogs. Or maybe Keanu Reeves is the Frisco of humans. Both of us, permanently in our prime. Say, are you here to take me home? I really hope so! Every time I see a car, I perk up and watch to see if it's my ride outta here. So far, no dice. I remain stubbornly unadopted. I try not to spend too much energy worrying about the reasons why. I mean, I know I'm a great dog. I mean, I've lived with and done
My name is Morell and, now that I'm six months old, I suppose I'd probably better get organized! So, without further ado, here's my to-do list: 1. Daily desk flops. Make sure to get in at least a few reps! Bonus points if you can cover your human pals' whole keyboard. 2. Play with the other kittens. I'm a peaceful soul by nature and don't play too roughly, but I do love to play! If the other kittens are occupied, I'm also happy to just play with toys on my own. 3. Find another cat to cuddle. Personally, I love
