Student-trained shelter dogs currently available for adoption or fostering:

You may see some of the dogs in their profile photos wearing a PetPace health-monitoring collar, which help us learn more about the dog's heart rate, respiration, and activity levels during their stay with us. You can read more about PetPace collars here.
