Dog's Play occasionally has dogs adoptable dogs available for sale. All dogs for sale have been started in heel work fundamentals, rally, and obstacle training.
All sales require completed paperwork, payment of fee(s), a home check either in person or video - and in some cases, a vet check.
All pups from Dog's Play come with a first right of refusal contract, which means that the dog MUST be returned to Dog's Play if there is any reason they cannot keep their home.

Feature Pup - Josie!
Josie is a female pitt mix, about 3-4 years old and weighs around 30 lbs. She is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. Josie already has some important skills under her belt -- she is crate and potty trained and knows some basic commands like sit, down, and paw. She has recall training and she is currently in a six-week obedience course to beef up her training even further. Her previous owner was an equestrian and occasionally took Josie out to the barn, so she has experience around larger farm animals as well -- a unique bonus!
Josie may be best in a home as a single dog, but can possibly get along well with a relaxed/submissive older dog or male dog (she has lived with an older relaxed dog in the past without issue). Josie should not, however, live with cats or other free roaming small animals (e.g., rabbits) because she does have a high prey drive towards these animals. Josie can also get excited and may be best in a home with older children and adults. Most importantly, Josie is an incredible dog!
She is a lovable snuggle bun but also has plenty of energy to go with you on walks and runs (we tried a running leash with her -- she did great!).
Josie is looking for a new home due to some personality and escalating resource guarding clashes with another dog in the household. After taking nearly six weeks to introduce her and the existing dog to let them become comfortable around each other, the dogs began resource guarding their humans and their personal space, creating an unhealthy and stressful environment for both animals (and their human caretakers). Josie is a wonderful dog, and deserves to have a comfortable, loving, and relaxing home!

Adjustment Periods for Rescue Dogs
Rescue animals need time to adjust.
Follow the “3-3-3 rule” to help them decompress.
3 days: It takes three days to decompress. During this time, animals might feel overwhelmed, uninterested in food or companionship, and more comfortable in their safe space.
3 weeks: After three weeks, your new pet will start to settle in, feel more at ease in his environment and start to get into a routine.
3 months: It takes three months for your pet to get into the routine, feel secure in his new home and start to build a lifetime bond.
