Jake is a 1-year-old Australian Shepherd mix whose previous owner didn't have time to care for a high-maintenance breed like an Aussie. Jake is a friendly, intelligent dog who needs a home with someone who will provide him with plenty of daily exercise and a "job", such as obedience training or dog sports (like Agility, for example). He gets along with other dogs and may even be able to share his home with a confident cat. Jake is an excellent match for an active person or family who would like an intelligent dog eager to learn and work. He'll provide you with plenty of love and snuggles in return. Jake is a medium-sized dog, full grown at about 35 pounds. WHS

Brewster is a 2-year-old Beagle mix whose previous owner adopted him from another shelter only a few months ago, but said a new job meant she no longer had enough time for him. Brewster is shy at first, but bonds quickly and is eager to snuggle up next to you on the sofa and roll over for a belly rub. He's also fun, playful and loves toys! Brewster should weigh around 20 pounds, however he's currently on the chubby side and would benefit from a diet in his new home. Because he gets nervous easily, he's not recommended for a home with young children. He does seem to get along well with other dogs. WHS
