Hi there, my name is Ana Alberta and I need to find my forever home! I am a fun loving two year old. Don’t let my three legs fool you, I can walk, run and go up and down the stairs my foster family has. I like to explore so a family that has a fenced in yard would be great! I love to cuddle and have all the attention but I can get along with other dogs ( best with male dogs)that are nice to me. I don’t mind going in my kennel for when my people have to go to the places or when I want to go to bed. I like to bark at new things and people but will warm up to them after they pet me. I am still learning how to walk on my leash but I love to go for short walks until my legs get tired. I think I’ll be able to go farther after I work up to it.. Still not sure how I am with with cats and kids since my foster family doesn’t have any. I like to get a little mouthy sometimes when I want more attention so little children might not be best until I learn more manners. Sometimes I get possessive over toys or food with the other dog. So someone who won't let me get away with that will be good I really do love to be loved and can’t wait to see my forever home! show less

Aphinya Bio: is 2 years old and her foster did a DNA test on her. Shepherd, Doberman, bloodhound, malamute and Shiba inu Looking for a cute lass? One who will give you privacy in the bathroom and won't make you throw a ball all day? Aphinya (Finn) is your girl! Finn loves car rides, lap snuggles and playing in the yard. She would love a K-9 sibling or three and maybe some older (five and up) human siblings for some rough-and-tumble play. Finn needs a fenced yard, as she loves following her nose. Finn is (mostly) potty trained and sleeps quietly in her kennel through the night. She would love a home with a doggy door as she loves to be outside alot. Sometimes she wants to be out all day so making sure you have a fenced yard is a must.  show less

Hi! My name is Argo but they call me Argos which is pretty cool because In Homer's the Odyssey, Argos is Odysseus' faithful dog which describes me perfectly. I am about 2 years old and have had quite the adventures so far. Of no fault of my own I am with another foster family. They were amazed at how quickly I settled in with them. I am a goofy, silly happy, lovable boy! I just want to make you happy and be petted. I know how to sit, stay, lay down and come. I know I have to go potty outside and I also go right in my crate and lay down when I’m asked and I sleep there all night. I guess I’m not supposed to jump up on people and put their arms and hands in my mouth 🤷🏻‍♂️but no one really told me I’m not supposed to! So my foster parents don’t pet me or tell me I’m a good boy until I stop jumping, wiggling around and giving them wide open mouth kisses! Oh and did I tell you about my foster brother Pumbaa? He came from Texas too and is showing me the ropes around here. We like to run and play. My foster sister Bella is so old and cranky though she doesn’t like it when I try to play with her, so my foster mom just has me leave her alone. I would love it if I could find my forever home where I can live my best happy, silly, goofy life. show less

  Buffy has been a great mom and we have been very lucky to have her for our first foster. She is really a great dog, so good most of the time, that you forget she is still young. She can be naughty when she doesn’t get enough attention or is bored, but with plenty of exercise and attention she is well behaved. She is great with people of all ages, even small children. You do have to watch so she doesn’t jump. She jumps if you stop giving her attention or playing when she wants you to continue. We are working on OFF. She has met a 3 year old golden retriever neighbor dog and an 11 month old Dalmatian neighbor dog and they all got along great. We have a friend whose dog is not well socialized with other dogs and Buffy senses that and reacts by being very wary of her, so we don’t let them interact.  Buffy doesn’t come to her name, but always listens when I give her a command and when I call her Babe. She is kennel trained and house trained. She is good on a leash, but needs some work staying on course – just being a puppy! She doesn’t know sit, so we are working on that. She knows come, stop, no and down. She won’t go on furniture even when invited, but loves to snuggle if you can get to her on the floor. She will chew on anything and loves soft toys. She is a jumper. We have seen her jump a 4 foot fence! She loves being outside even in the heat – it will be interesting to see how winters go for her. She does not like fireworks or water. We can only give her sponge baths as she really doesn’t want to get wet. I think she would be a great dog for a jogger or biker or a super trail dog as she would want to stay with her pack. She bonded with me right away and I think she will bond quickly with whoever gives her the most attention. She is not a big barker, but will bark when another dog walks by or someone comes in the yard. show less

Everyone meet Dixon! This one year old Shepherd Mix is one fun guy! He loves everyone he meets and absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs. He’s a big goofball that just wants to find a family that will love him forever. He sleeps in his crate at night with no issues, but is not a fan of the crate during the day when he is alone, but we are working on it and it has gotten a little better each day! He is an active pup but also enjoys curling up on the couch next to you! Dixon has a ton of love to give and will be waiting for his forever family! show less

Hannah is a very sweet Husky mix who is quite happy to spend more time outside than in, even in the winter. She is timid and shy around humans. She tolerates cats okay but is aggressive towards prey animals like chickens and turkeys. She gets along great with children although ours are 12 and up. She enjoys play time with other dogs and is not afraid to mix it up with dogs her own size. She does love to cuddle and will gently put her paw on you when she feels it is time for affection. She will need a fenced in yard as she likes to roam (hunt), mostly field mice and moles if no chickens or turkeys are available. show less

Homer 7 year old wgs. Loves all people, loves to snuggle with you. Can be a bit stubborn but will do anything for a treat! Knows sit, learning down and off. Takes treats like an alligator so flat hand for treats after saying nice. He gets it, just gets excited when you first bring them out. He has been doing better with not bolting out the door, I make him wait. A fenced yard would be best, pulls out of collar so slip lead is a must. Pulls a little on walks but it you stop he stands still. Does not like to be grabbed by collar so no small children. i hold him loosely around his neck with my arms and he will just stand there. Slow and easy works well with him. No steps without carpet, he is scared to come back up. He loves to follow you around and would let you pet him for hours. Good in the kennel once you throw a treat in first. He is so sweet he just wants love and affection. Does not try to get on furniture. He is not yet fixed ( we will get him fixed with his foster to adopt family), so no alpha dogs and female would be the best for him. Homer is looking for a foster to adopt home as we need to get him fixed. Unfortunately the other male dog in the home is not one to back down to Homer which had caused some issues. Homer will need a submissive female and strong handlers. No farm animals for him  show less

Hi my name is Jessa. I am a 5 month old shepherd mix. My foster mom thinks I am mixed with bull terrier. I will be on the smaller size as I am only about 20 to 25 pounds now. I absolutely love people. I am the sweetest girl around all people. I do need to be the only dog in the home because I want to be the boss of other dogs in the house. Because I want to be the boss I do snap at other dogs. Outside of the house I don't pay any attention to other dogs. However I do absolutely love my foster moms cat! I try to play really gently with him. I am potty trained and kennel trained. My absolutely favorite toy is a ball or rope. I do know how to sit and am learning the word stay also. I am a very spunky girl. Because I am a puppy I do have a bit of energy so my foster mom does 3 walks a day and the kids play fetch with me outside that seems to settle me down for the night. So if you are looking for a smaller size bundle of joy I am your girl!! show less

We do need to let any adopter know kona did have a bite to a child. Let us explain though....... kona and her babies were with a foster who had a 5 year old child. Kona loved her and was always very sweet. We do not know the reason or circumstances but kona did bite the child on the lip. Kona does jump up to give kisses so we think she was trying to do that but was clearly ruff about it. Kona has been tested since and is nothing but a sweetheart. Kona is a sweet 1 to 2 year old gal that wants to please . She loves to meet new people and new dogs . She’s cat curious but when directed to leave it she does so and it’s not an issue. She’s potty trained. She’s alert on walks but not fearful , she needs to learn some leash manners as she will pull at times to go where she wants. She also needs to work on not jumping up, she does not do so to be aggressive but to say hello was she always has plenty of kisses she wants to share. She will be a loyal companion and easy to train with a little bit of time invested. She’s highly intelligent and loving . Not recommended for kids under 10. show less

Hi, my name is Lavender. I am a spunky, sassy little girl who is 5 months old. I am a quick learner especially when food is involved. I love all things including FOOD, puppies, kids, BALLS. Wait did you say ball?? I will do anything for a ball and I am very good at bringing it back to you so that you can throw it again. I learned that was a lot more fun than just carrying it around. I am not too much into soft toys though, I leave those for my brother. I am still working on being potty trained but I am sure I will learn in no time. I even figured out the dog doors in 2 days without my foster mommy wanting me to learn, haha. I sleep through the night but I will admit I have my brother to keep me company so I am not lonely. I do know my name and I love being praised for things when I do good (esp when there is a little snack involved) but I will admit I do get distracted by balls if they are around. I can’t wait to find my forever family. Please note: Lavender is one of the parvo puppies but did NOT test positive. This means she cannot go to a home with another puppy. She should not be around any young puppies. No dog parks or pet stores for the next 5 months. Although she didn't test positive we want to treat her like the other parvo pups to be safe. show less

Shaggy has now realizing what being a dog is all about. How life can be a lot of fun and not so scary. He is still timid towards people, especially men, but he is starting to understand that humans can be nice.   Last weekend he took his first trip to the vet to have his nails trimmed. He loved the car ride and had his nose out the window the entire ride enjoying all the smells. He was nervous to go into the vet but once in the room he did great. Even the vet tech was impressed with how well he did.  He has been enjoying playing with his foster brothers a lot. His confidence is getting much better. He would do best in a home with another dog. He is learning his basic commands and is doing well. We are working on leash training now. This past weekend we brought in another foster (3-month-old female). He has taken her under his wing and loves to play with her. He does well with all dogs big or small. I would not recommend him for a home with small kids. Shaggy responds better to females at first. He is still very reserved around men. It would have to be a very slow introduction to any man and be someone that has the patience to allow him to decide when he is ready to be around them. He loves to have his tummy rubbed and being loved and hugged.  He loves to be brushed and is just the sweetest guy. Shaggy is ready to find his forever home and start his new life being loved the way he deserves to be.  show less

Where do I start with my story? I have had so much in my short life, as they say I am only a year old. I was found in Texas as a stray with a really bad cut to my leg. Trust me you don't want to see the photo!  Doctor says I have healed good and my leg will just be a little different than my other three. Stairs can be weird for me, but I am slowly getting stronger.  Don't you worry, I  can still run faster than any of my three furry siblings! I am small at just over 40 pounds, which means I can run as fast as the wind!  Have I told you how smart I am? I actually learned the "lay down" command in only three tries!  I am a Belgian Malinois mix, after all! Oh speaking about that, these crazy people at white paws say I should have a home that has experience with this breed.  I absolutely love to cuddle with my foster mom but can still be shy at times.  I will need a handler who will work with me in and outside of the home to build my confidence with new experiences.  Sometimes I growl when dogs or strange people come into my safe area, but am already learning that I don't have to be nervous all the time.  I am great with other dogs, and still learning how to play! I am respectful of the dogs who don't want to play with me, but also can get scared of the dogs that do.  I am a silly girl full of personality! I can make my foster family laugh, especially when I get what they call the "zoomies!" I live with a little but beautiful baby (11months) and she is very interesting to watch. I am unsure of what to make of something so small but I have never been mean to her. I mean who would ever be mean to a baby? I do think kids that are respectful and have good dog manners (like not pulling, giving space when scared, and not using me as a pillow) would be great! Heck we could play ball together! I love to play fetch but you might have to chase me to get the ball back haha.  I need an active home who will give me some mental challenges or I will get bored!  I would love to go for walks, have another dog, a fenced in yard, and a family who understands that I am shy and can be scared, but absolutely amazing.  I will need you to come to my level at first - give me love and guidance -  and then show me the world! Ok, ok enough about me I will be waiting with my foster family for you and want to hear all about you! show less

Hi my name is Whitey and I am a 1+ year old boy who is happy and smiling all the time. I am dog friendly and kid friendly and have never met a cat but would likely be fine. I am crate trained and potty trained- I’ve only had 1 accident. I become attached to my humans very quickly and follow my Mom everywhere any don’t like to go play in my fenced yard unless she’s with me. I sleep all night with my humans and love to snuggle and play. I do need to work on some manners with shoe stealing & jumping but know with some training and love I will be great for any family! show less

*please read the entire description - we know she looks cute*  Introducing Willow! Willow is a 2 year old sable German   Shepherd who unfortunately has been returned to our rescue twice. She does not do well with other dogs but she's learning and she has made incredible progress over the past few weeks! When she first came to her foster she would bark and lunge when she saw another dog through the window or on walks. She was also terrible on a leash. After a few days at the foster she can walk past other dogs without loosing her mind with the use of hot dogs! She also walks amazing with a gentle leader head harness. Watch the video of one of the training sessions using the foster's own dog! Willow is now at a trainer getting lots of practice learning how to be appropriate around other dogs. She is working on her dog reactivity, boundaries, impulse control, manners, and obedience. Most importantly, she is learning to look for her handler for guidance and leadership. She is learning what a calm state of mind is and  how to achieve that when needed.  Willow does amazing in a kennel and will happily go in her kennel with a Kong full of peanut butter and the command "kennel". Willow will need to be in a kennel when not supervised, including at night, as she is a bit of a trouble maker.  She absolutely loves people and kids! But would do better in a home with no small children because sometimes she forgets how big she is. We don't know how she would do with cats, but she seems to have a bit of a prey drive so probably no cats. Although Willow is doing well with training, she would still need to be the only dog in the home.  Willow's new home needs to have someone who is a strong handler and has experience with difficult dogs and one who is dedicated to continuing her training. She can be stubborn, she tries to push buttons and see what she can get away with, but with consistent boundaries and rules she will be a great dog.  If you're interested, please put in an application! show less
