Ava's adopter is required to have a fenced yard.

Approximate DOB: March 2007
Origin: Owner Surrender

"I’m a very happy guy who loves to meet new people. I’m really nervous around kids, so I’m hoping to find an adult family to love. I do have some anxiety when it comes to learning new things and visiting new places. My partner in crime, Yuki, has helped me tremendously to become more calm. We are hoping to find a forever home together. As the saying goes, 2 is always better than 1!"

Approximate DOB: September 2016
Origin: Abandoned

"I am a sweet and happy girl with an abundance of playful energy and would make a good running companion. I am muscular and super strong, but not aggressive, and I love people! I have an odd quirk as I am a little afraid of the dark, but I plan to be brave and overcome that fear."

Spay/Neuter charges are the adopter's responsibility and are to be completed at the Bismarck-Mandan area vet of their choice.

Approximate DOB: August 2017
Origin: Owner Surrender

"I am a young dog with lots of energy and I am going to need training to help me overcome some undesirable habits. I am really good looking and I can be really sweet, but I am also easily over stimulated. I will do best in a home without young children. I am very treat motivated and with patience and training I can become your new best friend."

Approximate DOB: December 2016
Origin: Unclaimed Impound

"I am a friendly, beautiful and graceful girl with an energetic personality. I just finished raising some puppies so now I look forward to attention being focused on me. I love to play ball and will gladly show you how it's done."

Approximate DOB: April 2016
Origin: Rescue/Transfer

"I am a friendly girl with beautiful, expressive eyes and an award winning personality. I am very smart and know some commands, such as sit and shake. Treats make me very eager to learn. I am active and inquisitive and look forward to greeting you soon."

Approximate DOB: September 2017
Origin: Rescue/Transfer

"I am a young and handsome dog looking for someone that has unlimited energy, like me, so we can be in perpetual motion together. I am a big boy and I love people, but sometimes I don't know the power of my own strength, so I am going to need some training."

Approximate DOB: May 2016
Origin: Rescue

"If you look into my eyes, you will see a dog that has been through a lot in a short lifetime. Life can be scary but thankfully CDHS is helping me learn to trust. I still have a long way to go to be brave, but I know that with the right adult, the right amount of treats, and possibly another dog in a quiet household with no kids (kids terrify me), my past will be just that. The past!".

Approximate DOB: May 2013
Origin: Owner Surrender

"I am a beautiful girl and my name is very fitting as I am very sweet and even cuddly with my adult companions. I am not comfortable around young children as they make me nervous and irritable and that brings out undesirable traits. I would love a second chance at a forever home with an adult family."

Approximate DOB: June 2013
Origin: Stray

"I may be a big girl, but I am super sweet and calmly waiting for my new forever family. I am just the right blend of strength, sweetness and intelligence."

Approximate DOB: November 2013
Origin: Rescue

"Although I may look like a sweet friendly young lady, after my unpleasant past, I am still working on learning to trust. I need a lot of encouragement, love, and understanding. Do you have the time to show me what true compassion and kindness is? I am not a fan of young children (they are too much for me), and would ideally love a household with another pooch."

Approximate DOB: June 2013
Origin: Owner Surrender

"I am a sweet, middle aged girl looking for a chance to join another family. I don't mind other dogs and I am fine with children. I am calm and quiet and have a really pleasant personality. I also enjoy squeaky toys and getting outside for walks and fresh air."

Approximate DOB: June 2013
Origin: Stray

"I am a big sweet boy just waiting for you to fall in love with me. I promise to love you back and I might even try to snuggle into your lap because I am really just a giant overgrown puppy. I am fun loving and love people. There are a few dogs that I don't care for, and yet there are some others that I like, so please give me a chance."

Spay/Neuter charges are the adopter's responsibility and are to be completed at the Bismarck-Mandan area vet of their choice.

Approximate DOB: September 2015
Origin: Stray

"I am a big, strong boy with an energetic personality and I am going to need a fenced yard. I love being with people but tend to be rather particular about other dogs. I am still young and can play but truthfully, I would rather cuddle than play. I walk well on a leash and would love to become your walking companion. Give me a chance and you are going to love me."

Approximate DOB: June 2013
Origin: Rescue

"I am still very timid due to spending my early life in less than ideal circumstances. Once I get to know you and trust you, I am affectionate and enjoy cuddles and kisses. I hope you will be willing to give me a chance."

Approximate DOB: January 2016
Origin: Rescue/Transfer

"One look at my magnificent eyes and you will be mesmerized. I am a super strong dog and will need to have a fenced yard. My personality definitely fits my name as I have unlimited energy and I love to play. I don't really care for other dogs, so it will be best if I am the only dog in your home so I can have all the attention I need. It is also best if I am away from young children as I am just too strong and energetic for them."

Rowdy's adopter is required to have a fenced yard.

Approximate DOB: June 2014
Origin: Rescue

"I am still a young dog but had a rather bad start to my life due to some poor living conditions. I am shy with new people but I am very sweet and quiet and I am working on gaining confidence. I keep hearing about something called a "forever home" and I really want to try that!"

Rusty was neutered and the procedure was sponsored by a friend of CDHS.

Approximate DOB: July 2013
Origin: Unclaimed Impound

"I am a very happy and sweet social butterfly and just can't get enough attention. I am not a fan of other dogs but I absolutely love people and look forward to meeting you soon. I have an old injury to one of my legs so I may not be a good running companion, but I will gladly give you a hug and hang out with you all day long."

Approximate DOB: April 2014
Origin: Owner Surrender

"I am a handsome boy and my name might give you a hint that I am big and strong and have lots of energy to burn. I get pretty excited around other dogs so it may take a while for me to become friends with them but I definitely love my human companions!".

Approximate DOB: September 2017
Origin: Stray

"I arrived at CDHS as a very timid stray and I tend to be shy at first, but once I get to know you, I am super affectionate and love to give hugs. I have decided that having a roof over my head and regular meals is a much better life than I was leading. I am handsome, sweet and playful and look forward to becoming your next 'pawsome' family member."

Approximate DOB: November 2014
Origin: Rescue

"I’m a sweet, but shy girl who has really come out of my shell with the help of my friend, Caleb. I’m still really nervous around kids, so I’m hoping to find a loving adult family. He has helped me to understand that meeting new people is actually really fun! I have some anxiety about new things, but the more practice I have the better I will be. Caleb and I make a wonderful team and are really hoping to stick together!"
