Wyatt is a 10-month-old mixed breed. He is spunky and full of fun energy. He enjoys long walks and playing with toys. Because Wyatt is a puppy, he needs obedience training, but he is very smart and a fast learner. He does well with other dogs and children and would make a good family dog. To meet Wyatt, email Dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Two-year-old Eve was found outdoors during the winter and rescued. She is outgoing, curious, interested in attention, sassy and feisty. She knows what she wants and likes and can be a diva.
