    Parum-pa-pum-pum! I’m Drummer Boy, and I’m friendly and playful and I love a good snuggle. I even enjoy kisses on occasion, especially from awesome people like you. I’m very social and my friends at ACPR say I love people. I enjoy following my friends around and walking on a leash. I like other puppies.
 
 
    I’m Willy Wonka and, oddly, chocolate is apparently not good for me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t watch you enjoy a bit. Just maybe toss me a dog biscuit and we can have tasty treats together. I’m a border collie mix and I’m friendly, playful, smart and curious according to my friends at ACPR. I like dogs, cats, children and bacon – just in case you forgot that part. I’d be happy to come to your home and love you for the rest of my days – and I should have a lot of days, cuz I’m just a puppy still.
 
 
    Hey folks, I’m Navin and I’m a bit of a mutt by way of Chihuahuas and terriers, but I like to think I got the cutest features of both lineages. I like other dogs, cats and children. My siblings and I were found out in the country in a laundry basket, but I don’t think we’re any worse for wear. If you’re looking for a small dog, I won’t get very big, but I will be big on love. Come stop by ACPR and visit me and let’s see if we match well. Stay warm and remember, puppies are great at helping you stay toasty in the winter.
 
 
    Hey all. I’m Columbia and I’m curious, friendly, athletic, smart and playful. I love the outdoors and walking to spend time with my favorite family. I’m full-grown, so you won’t get any surprise growth spurts out of me and I’m happy to make sure you feel loved all the time. Feel free to scratch my ears and play with me in the snow or out camping together. I know it’s cold for camping right now, but think of the campfire and the roasted marshmallows. I’ve been at ACPR for a while and I’d dearly love a permanent home.
 
 
    Nice to meet you. I’m Lucky, and you’re lucky to meet a doggo like me. I like other dogs and having my coat brushed. I tend to be a happy pup and I get the zoomies a lot. I’d love to go on walks to keep both of us healthy and a day trip to the Cascades for some hiking wouldn’t go amiss either. Let’s meet up and see if I can be your Lucky charm. I’m easy to visit in Othello and I’d like to see you stop by ACPR.
 
 
    I’m Basin, and I’ve been with the folks at ACPR for a bit, but I’m still hopeful that I’ll get my forever family soon. I love other dogs and children and I like to play with my two-legged friends. I got separated from my last family somehow, but the folks at ACPR and their high school volunteers have been taking good care of me. Still, I’m hoping we can hang out and have fun and that I can take as good care of you as you do of me. Let’s meet up and see if we click.
 
 
    I’m Freezie, but if you’re looking for a warm companion, I’m still your girl, despite the name. I’m a husky mix and I just feel like you and I should go have some fun together. Hiking, hanging out on the couch – I’m open to all the options. I’m full grown and in good health and I’d just like to have someone to play with. Come hang out at ACPR with me for a bit and I’m sure we’ll get along great.
 
 
    Hi, I’m Hank. Let me save you a few breaths and say this for you, “Awww…. That face!” I know. I get that a lot. I’m a bit over 3 years old and I’m a terrier pit bull mix. I’m hanging out at Grant County Animal Outreach for now, but I’d love to meet you and see how we get along. Swing by for a visit and let’s see if we’re a good match.
 
 
    Why, hello there. You’re looking almost as fabulous as me today. I’m Stormy and I live with my amazing friends at Grant County Animal Outreach, but I’m open to spending a lot of time with you too. I’m a bit shy at first, but over time I warm up. My friends at GCAO say I’m smart and listen well and I’m working on the “sit” and “lay down” commands. I love going for walks on a leash, but I’m also happy to just be with the people I love. I’m a German shepherd mix and I’m almost 6, but I’ve still got a lot of love to give.
 
 
    Hey there, chief. I’m Mack and I really think you and I ought to meet up. I’ve got a bit of a hearing problem, so I’d appreciate you remembering that my ears may need extra scratches. I have had some rough times, but after four years and change in this world, I still love people once I get to know them. I especially like getting petted and going on walks. It may be best if we avoid spending time with cats or cows though. Let’s hang out and see what kind of fun we can have together.
 
 
    Hey there folks, I’m Gizmo, but don’t let the name fool you. I’m fine with you feeding me after midnight, or anytime really. I’m a little under 2 years old and I’m a griffon-wirehaired pointer mix, so I tend to be a bit fuzzy with wild hair. I came into GCAO as a stray, but I’d love to leave and live with a loving family. Swing in and let’s meet.
 
 
    Hey folks. I’m Dee Dee and I’m a Chihuahua-short-hair mix. Not really sure what that means outside of the fact that I am ridiculously adorable and definitely would make your life cuter by being in your home. I’m a bit over 3 years old and I think you and I could get along great. I’m a small pupper, but I think wonderful things come in small packages. Come visit me at GCAO and let’s have some fun together. P.S.: Bring treats.
 
 
    Hiya. I’m Rupert and I’m a terrier, wirehaired-fox mix. I’m officially the foxiest dog at GCAO and I believe I’m possibly the smartest, and obviously unbiased in saying that. I enjoy walks, naps, snacks and lots of attention. Come talk to the folks at GCAO to learn a bit more about me and say hello while you’re in so we can get to know one another.
 
 
    So, they call me Baby Girl, but frankly, I think I’d be happy just being your princess. I’m about 2 1/2 years old and I’m a blue heeler mixed with whatever it is that makes dogs so loveable. I got to the shelter in December of 2023 and I’d just really like a permanent home and someone to go on walks with. I’m hanging out with the folks at GCAO for now, so come say hi and let’s chill together.
 
 
    Junebug’s my name and sweet is my game. I’m available for adoption through GCAO and I’d really like a chance to spend some time with you and see if we’re a good match. I bet we are. I’m a medium-sized pup and a mix of a variety of dog breeds, but the main thing to know is that I will love you forever if you adopt me. Stop in and say hi and let’s see what the future holds.
