Cupcake is a 2 yr old spayed female Yellow lab X , white legs and blaze, approx 50 lbs. HISTORY- Cupcake was a barn dog on a farm in WV. The humane society vet visited in approx Oct 2006. She had 10 pups, which dwindled to 6 because they were getting run over by farm equipment. The vet took the dog and her pups when the farmer said he was thinking of shooting them all. The pups were all adopted by the humane society. The vet brought her to the humane society for adoption. HEALTH- Cupcake has excellent health. She is spayed, UTD on all vaccs, worming, Frontline, and has been HW tested. TEMPERAMENT- Cupcake is a delightful, sweet natured, friendly dog. Good with other dogs, cats, all people (and tho not seen with kids, I assume she'd be great.) She is a med/lower energy dog and seems content to rest quietly between walks, playtime, and meals, and when her owner is out. Absolutely ADORES food! Enjoys walks, romping with other dogs, rawhides and treats, and hunting field mice on walks.

Jethro is a one year old male Maltese/Pom mix who was relinquished for lack of house training. He will be neutered and that should help him a great deal as we think he was marking his territory. He's adorably playful and just darling, weighing in at 8 lbs. He will be at our Meet and Greet on Sunday, the 21st at Especially for Pets in Wayland (junction 27/30) from 1-3 PM.

This tiny male pup is about 10 weeks old and weighs maybe 10 pounds. He looks like a miniature shepherd. He has been around 2 little kids. and likes to be cuddled and loved on. He is very curious and playful. His name should be Lucky. He was found on a rural road where all the other pups ran off into the woods and have never been caught. I'm sure they are no longer alive, so he is one Lucky puppy.

UPDATE! Kiva is a five month old shepherd/husky mix female pup who came up from WV on 1/7 and will be available after 1/9/07. She was originally in a family with a 3 year child but after further evaluation, we would not place her with children as she's a bit "over the top" for children. She is extremely dominant with puppies her age and that could easily transfer to household members. She's best with dominant dogs older than her, otherwise she will bully dogs her own size or smaller. This is a dog desperate for training and attention. She responds well to training and has calmed down a lot since her arrival, but she's definitely a dog who needs a strong leader so an experienced adopter who understands dog training would be the best option for her. She does not like being crated (could be the husky in her), but can't be left unattended at this point in her life so will need some positive experiences in the crate and/or lots of time with her person outside the crate working on training. She is much more accepting of the crate than when she first arrived. She would do best in an adult home where someone is home most of the day. She will be at the Meet and Greet at Petco/Natick from noon until 2 on Saturday, 1/13/07.

Merry is a five month old female brindled female mixed breed pup who seems to have some terrier in her as well as something small, like Basenji or Jack Russell. She only weighs 20 lbs and is 7 months old so she's not going to be very big. She's totally adorable. She was to be a Christmas puppy, hence her name, Merry. Here's the story on her. Dr. Amy from WV had brought the puppy back to the clinic because someone had wanted one for Christmas.The next day they called to say they decided they didn't want her, they wanted an older australian shepard. Since she didn't have anyone else interested she said she would have to be put down on Friday before Christmas. THANKFULLY a rescue worker was bringing a dog into the clinic for Dr. Amy to spay and they showed him the puppy. He said the rescue group would take her. The answer to everyone's prayers! Anyway, she's been staying in a foster home. She is such a sweet little girl. I'm guessing she's about 5 months old and weighs about 20 lbs. She was spayed on the 28th. She's good around cats and other dogs. She needs an experienced home who will keep her forever as brindled dogs and pit bulls are not dogs to end up in a shelter and she already almost lost her life once, so let's give her a chance. Please be her forever Mom or Dad, not someone who is going to move in a year or two or have a baby and give her up. We see it all the time, so we just want the best for this little girl. She has started her crate training and already knows how to sit and at times shake. :) Merry will be at our Meet and Greet on Saturday the 13th at Petco Natick from noon to 2PM.

Penny is a sweet ten year old female collie mix who lost her home when her owner went into assisted living. She lost her home again when the relative who took her was diagnosed with cancer. She is a good girl who is well house trained and does not have accidents or get into your stuff. She has always been an only dog, so might be happiest with all the attention, but she seems to get along with other dogs. She was not socialized with cats and is very curious about them so possibly might want to be in a home without cats. She is an "easy keeper" and would make a wonderful companion for someone who wants a house dog.

Puddin is a 3 month old male aussie mix male puppy who weighs 15 lbs and is coming on 1/7/06 and will be available after his quarantine and health check up on the 9th or 10th. No phone calls, please. His foster mom writes: Puddin is totally a herding dog. Aussie/Border collie. He will retrieve when toys are thrown. He likes to herd your heels. He will run circles around you when you are playing outside. very smart and full on energy. he should go to puppy school, he could use some manners. He has been playing and quit rough I must say with my 3 year old son. I do not recommend him going to a family with such a young child. They play like puppy siblings. Wrestling, biting ( yes, my son will bite Puddin back when he bites him ) So there's lots of screaming puppy is eating me here or Puddin coming and running between my legs for help too. Its a sibling love~hate relationship. Puddin does like to chew, so have him plenty of toys that are for him. Keep the toilet paper up too unless you like your floor to look like it snowed. He does like to curl up and sleep on you and can be a cuddle bug. He is almost house broke. If you crate him, he does not have any accidents in there. So he's crate trained. He sleeps beside my bed in his own bed but would like to sleep with me. He is too rough with cats. he knows which ones he can harass and which ones will smack his face off. He loves to play with my other dogs and the lab only will play back once in awhile , so another dog that was active would make a good team for him. I do hope this will help in placing him with his forever family. he sits right under my feet when I'm on the computer. we have lost some wire for he chewed them up while i was working : )

Pumpkin is a pup who underwent surgery on 1/11 for a luxated elbow. There was too much damage to the bone so the surgeon had to amputate her front left leg. We're looking for the right home for this beautiful pup. She's a sweet 4 month old puppy who deserves a chance. She was probably hit by a car. She already walks and runs like there was nothing wrong. She will need some ongoing rehabilitation work. At this point we're using a combination of conventional and alternative medicine on her so that she has the best chance of a healthy life. She will not be at the meet and greet this weekend as she is recovering from surgery.
