"I am a friendly, energetic, happy ball of the finest fur around. I came to CDHS with my five puppies in tow. I have loved them and raised them and trained them to the best of my abilities.

It's what every dog deserves."

Info from staff: Hildegard is VERY smart, affectionate girl, wants to please. She was adopted from CDHS a few years ago and lived in her home for several years. She was returned because she was not getting along with the small dog in the home. She does get along well with larger dogs, but no small dogs or cats. She did go through a few different training courses with her previous family. It's easy to tell within just a short time of meeting her that someone has definitely worked with her.

Oh boy. Where do we even begin?

Are you dreaming of a peaceful, low-maintenance dog who naps politely in sunbeams and gently places his head in your lap while soft music plays in the background? Fantastic. You should keep dreaming-and also keep scrolling. Because this is Saba, and he is none of those things.

But hey, if you're the type of person who wakes up and chooses chaos, we may have just found your soulmate.

Saba's Resume of Absolute Mayhem:
• Specializes in knocking people over mid-zoomie like a furry linebacker
• Has absolutely zero spatial awareness and takes it personally if you expect otherwise
• Can and will leap over fences that violate building height codes
• Thinks "muzzle punch" is a perfectly acceptable way to say hi
• Treats toys like they're part of a demolition derby

Found as a stray (shocking, we know), Saba arrived with all the manners of a wet tornado. He's been in the shelter long enough to discover that walls are boring, and rules are optional. But put him in a play yard? Oh, he comes alive. Like, frantic, turbo-charged, cartoon-character-chasing-a-scent alive.

Things Saba Thinks He's Good At (debatable):
• Fetch (he gets the ball. Sometimes. Then forgets why.)
• Sniffing stuff for an eternity like a crime scene investigator
• Full-body flopping into grass because it smells "funny"
• Making you reconsider your life choices mid-walk
• Being "sweet," if your definition includes accidentally concussing you with his skull

Stuff That Makes Him Tolerable (occasionally even lovable):
• He genuinely loves people. He just has no idea how to interact like a normal dog.
• He has a soft spot for puppies and plays gently with them-because apparently, he has standards.
• On rare occasions, he'll stop mid-walk, lean against you, and pretend to be calm. It lasts four seconds but it's magical.
• He loves being sung to. (We don't understand this either.)

Important Fine Print:
• Requires a fence high enough to keep out aircraft
• Not ideal for households with breakable objects, delicate furniture, or a fear of being tackled by love
• Would thrive with older kids who can take a hit and bounce back
• Dog-friendly, but his play style is "full-contact rugby"
• Cat situation: unknown. Honestly, the cat might adopt you to escape him

The staff says:
"Saba is an unfiltered mess of joy, chaos, and potential. He's not for the faint of heart-but for the right person, he'll be the most ridiculous, lovable, high-energy disaster you'll ever meet."

So. Do you crave adventure? Do you enjoy yelling "what are you doing?!" fifteen times a day? Are you in peak physical condition, mentally stable, and emotionally prepared for a dog that lives like he's been shot out of a cannon?

Perfect. Come meet Saba. We don't know why you would. But also... we kind of hope you do. Saba isn't perfect, but he is perfect for someone. Could that someone be you?

Available now at the shelter-bring treats, running shoes, and maybe a helmet.

"I am a good boy who loves to go for walks and likes to hang out. I heard someone say it is Dog Adoption Season and I am all about that. Please come out to visit me!"

Soy el mejor chico y he estado esperando demasiado tiempo por mi hogar para sempre.
Translation: I am the best boy, and I have been waiting too long for my forever home.

Yes, you read that correctly - Tyson (also known as Ty, Ty Ty, or Tyraneous Rex) understands Spanish! An owner-surrender from a Spanish-speaking home, staff and volunteers originally learned a few phrases so he would feel comfortable. Tyson's favorite pastime is to sit in a chair, on a bench, couch or stool, next to his people and snuggle. All of his outings include at least a few minutes on a bench or chair. His second favorite pastime is going on walks and getting big sniffs. Tyson has a reputation for pulling hard on the leash, or to say it another way, Tyson pulls like a mother on the leash. But this is 100% kennel behavior. Volunteers and staff can attest that once he is away from the general kennel areas, he is great on the leash. He is also a good running partner on the leash. He comes when called and knows the commands "sit" and "shake" (In English). He takes great selfies and loves posing for pictures, and he does great in the car. And he is scared of cats, which is better than the alternative. If you are looking for a dog who is equally happy being active and being a total lounge buddy, Tyson is your match!

From the staff: Tyson gets frequent ear and skin allergies for which he is being treated. He is on a "no-treat" diet of kibble, which is just fine for him. Tyson enjoys meeting new people, but he needs a chance to warm up to you before you go to touch his ears. Those are his boundaries. Tyson is a well-tempered fellow who enjoys interacting with most other dogs and he especially enjoys getting to play along the fence line of the play yards. He is extremely smart and loving, and it kind of breaks our hearts when he sees so many other dogs get visits when he doesn't.
