Tessa, 3 years Female Labrador Retriever

|
Adopted
Update: it's hard to believe, but Tessa has an adoption in progress. A woman who had a dog with the same health issues is going to adopt her! Woo Hoo! We are still doing a fund raiser for Tessa as her latest tests were very expensive.
Tessa is a young purebred yellow lab who was given up by her owner
because of her history with skin problems resulting from allergies. They
worked with a vet who never told them about the corn allergies to which
labs are prone and she was on a corn-based diet. She may have some other
allergies as well, but we're working to figure out a diet that works
well for her. We're looking for a forever home for her where the owner
will keep a close eye on her and keep her on the diet that works for her.
She is such a sweet Lab who just loves to play and romp. She's not
overly physical with people because being held makes her scratch right
now, but she has a sweet disposition and loves people. Just being in the
same room with you or lying at your feet makes her a very content dog.
She's completely housetrained, with no destructive behavior and no
counter surfing or going into the trash. She stays near you when you are
outdoors and just loves to play ball. She also loves playing with her
foster mom's dogs, and does not seem to be dog or cat aggressive. She
does have some separation anxiety issues though, and would probably do
best in a home with people around who'll give her the love and attention
she craves.

Bella, 2 years Female Boston Terrier
|

|
Adopted
Bella is an adorable two year old female Boston Terrier. She is friendly, joyful, and great with cats. She was raised as an only dog so would probably be happiest as an only. She is not good with small children as she came from a household with 3 little ones and became very snappy with them. So if children are in your future, it's best to forego the chance that she would be displaced again. An adult home with older teens should be fine. She is a delightful little dog who deserves a forever home. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines and has no health issues at all. She is also completely house trained.

|
Adopted
Pearl is a gorgeous one year old female beagle with a beautiful coat and rich colored fur. She looks beagle/bassett, but is registered as a beagle. She is playful, safe with kids, and extremely gentle. She came from a breeder who raises field trial dogs and she didn't make the cut. She would be a nice family dog, though. She is soft and gentle and very lovable. Pearl is being fostered in the Natick area and you can meet her once we receive your application. She is 99% house trained.

Artemus, 4 months Male St. Bernard
/ Great Dane
Mix
|
Click on picture to enlarge
|
Adopted
Artemus is a large breed puppy who is thought to be St. Bernard or Great Dane puppy. Now that he is here, he looks more Dane than Saint Bernard. He has the Dane feet and other features. He is going to be a big boy. He already knows how to sit and he comes when called, but he is going through the teething stage so he is a bit too mouthy for small children. He will need puppy kindergarten right away and continuous training using positive reinforcement techniques, such as clicker training.

Please come meet her at our Meet and Greet on Saturday 2/25/07 at Petco Natick from 10 AM to noon.
