Cammy, 3 years old Female Brussels Griffon Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Cammy got a lovely home with other dogs to play with too. She's doing great! Cammy is a tiny 3-year old Brussels Griffon who was rescued from a puppymill in TN and now inf a foster home in Sudbury, MA. We are looking for an experienced adopter who can work with any fear issues she may have as she was a puppy mill dog for most of her life. In her foster home in TN it took awhile to build up trust, but once she trusted she would sleep in her foster mom's bed every night. Cammy can be frightened in new situations and can climb gates when frightened, therefore we are seeking a very secure environment for her. A family with children coming and going is not a possible home for this dog. A single woman or a couple who have a quiet, controlled life, and who can devote the time to this little dog, is preferred. She spent three years of her life in a cage in a puppy mill so crating would not be recommended for this little darling. Once she gets to trust you, she needs to be able to sit on your lap and sleep in your bed. Our process is that you fill out the application first, then in one or two days we will contact you if your application is a match.

He has a med-high activity level, is playful and likes to run with pals in his foster home. He enjoys getting love and attention, and will drown you in 'kisses'. He is housetrained and sleeps nicely overnight in his crate. He would love someone to take him on long hikes and play with him. His foster mother says: "This young dog came over last evening. He was frisky and hungry. And watching him from the window were Henry and Shadow, loudly pronouncing that he should get inside and meet them. So in he came. At first hesitated at the steps – so many and winding upward! But, those other two barreled up there, so he followed. Once inside the living room, the sniffing began – so many new scents and dogs and people and noises! Where to begin!!!! But, a tasty bowl of food caught his attention – and he immediately inhaled it, along with any leftovers that my dogs dared to leave behind. Time to watch some TV – or not! he just barked and barked and barked at the TV – of course, it was all political chatter so who could blame him. Once he settled into my lap, though, I could let the TV run without him barking at all those annoying faces. Soon enough, the yawns started, so time to get in the crate – or NOT! He went in reluctantly, only to be followed in by Shadow! How to get Shadow out and leave Jed in there? Ahhhh, a seasoned foster has her tricks and cannot divulge those secrets. Well, he slept through the night, no accidents, and has been just a joy since he was woken up by Shadow and Henry – they have eaten, played, played some more, visited with all their neighbors who came over to see the new foster pup – and are back to playing some more. That pool in the yard is keeping them busy – either to get in or run circles around – just so much to do out there! Whoever gets this young guy is very lucky because he is quite a joy to have around!! So cuddly and a great little personality going on in there."

Sydney, 4 months old Male Terrier/Lab  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Thank you to everyone who donated to Sid for his neurological evaluation. He has found a loving home and will get his vet visit to boot! Sydney aka "Sid" is an adorable puppy who recently came into our care with some special needs. He is a gentle pup and very playful. He will need a special home as he might have Cerebellar hypoplasia, a developmental problem that causes him to have a funny gait and sometimes lose his balance. For someone who doesn't know better he just looks like an awkward puppy. One of the causes of it is malnourishment and he was a very emaciated pup when he was first rescued in rural TN. For an accurate diagnosis he may need an MRI, so we are asking for donations to help with his evaluation. More info on the web at http://www.vetinfo.com/cencyclopedia/cecerhypo.html. Dogs with Cerebellar hypoplasia live a full life just as any other dog and it doesn't affect them mentally except for the lack of coordination. Sid's story: he was picked up as a stray at a dumpster site in TN, starved and alone. But he was fed and given shelter in his foster home there, and now will be coming up to us and be available beginning 7/24/09. He's a playful little boy, happy and friendly. Not mouthy at all, just the most affectionate dog you will ever meet. He is happy all the time and has a big smile. He loves squeaky toys, rope toys; pretty much anything he can pounce on and throw around. He loves to go for walks (he has no idea he walks funny) and play with tennis balls and frisbees in the backyard. He loves everyone and gives lots of kisses. He is also great with cats. He is great in the house, very relaxed and doing amazingly with potty training. The last picture is of Sid kayaking with his foster family, he loved it!
