Cazu, 2 years Male Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Meet Cazu, a friendly Aussie boy who is about two years old. His original owner said he traveled too much and couldn't keep him. He is medium size, housebroken, good with kids and would be great in a family. He will tire out other dogs with his playfulness so might be good for dog parks but not for living with other dogs. He hates being in the kennel and is hoarse from barking, but he is the perfect angel in the house and doesn't make a peep. He will quietly amuse himself chewing on a bone or playing with a soft toy. He likes to cary around a stuffed animal in his mouth. At the shelter where he was turned in he was absolutely the SWEETEST temperament and passed all the temperament tests with flying colors . He has a naturally bobbed tail, which makes us think more Australian Shepherd. He has a gorgeous coat and is such a friendly boy. He is Available NOW and we would love to see him go home soon as he is so happy just hanging out on the couch. He is just a great dog. If you are interested in adopting Cazu, please fill out an application on our web site and that will help us to speed the process. Our hours are posted on the home page.

Delta, ~3 years Female Lab  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Delta is a darling 3 year old Lab mix who originally came from Indiana where she was in a foster home and very bonded with her foster mom, who is a retiree. She is a gentle dog who would thrive in a quiet household. She is good with cats and will co-exist with other dogs, but is shy at first introductions. She is best if she is not with a dog who would jump all over her and would be best in a home without children or with just visiting children as she was not raised with kids that we know of. She was a stray who came into a rural shelter pregnant and raised her pups and saw them off to their permanent homes so now she is looking for a home of her own. She is a very special dog who needs a sensitive and loving adopter. We prefer a stay-at-home, retiree, or someone who just works part time as she is used to having people around. She is house trained, leash trained, will ride nicely in the car, and according to her foster mom "is the most loving dog you will ever meet". To speed the process, fill out an application.

Mugsy, 5 years Male Bloodhound Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Mugsy is a very sweet 5 year-old neutered male purebred bloodhound who was surrendered due to his owner's illness. He gets along well and is patient with children and other dogs, although due to his size he probably should not be in a home with very small children. He is wonderful with cats, even sleeps with them. He is great with small dogs even lets a puppy jump all over him, but is afraid of bigger dogs. He weighs 118 lbs. and is a gentle giant. He is not a barker but will bay when strangers come near the house. He enjoys long walks, scratching behind his ears, snacks, and relaxing with his family. He likes to hang out and his favorite spot is on the couch. He is currently undergoing chiropractic therapy on his back. We had him examined by an ortho specialist and he does not have hip dysplasia, but more of a lumbar sacral issue for which we are treating homeopathically. He also has the entropian eyelashes and although we had him worked up with a surgeon, he is not scheduled for surgery as we feel it is too high risk for him at this point and also because he is doing so well on the eye drops. His eyes look great and do not seem to bother him as they were when we first took him in. Mugsy is a great dog who needs a loving adopter. He is fine if you work full time and does not get into your stuff and he can hold it until you get home. He is in a foster home, so please fill out an application to be considered for an introduction. Donations toward his medical bills are gladly accepted.

Paris, 1 year old Female St. Bernard/Dalmation  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Paris is one year old spayed St Bernard/Dalmation mix who recently lost her home due to foreclosure. Her mother is a purebred Saint (we have pictures) and dad was a purebred Dalmation according to a DNA test. Paris is used to living with large dogs and so is used to playing rough. She is not the least bit aggressive, however. She has always lived with a Saint so would love a Saint friend or large breed friend . She can be timid and nervous in new situations, but is totally affectionate and warms up quickly. She may not present her true personality when you first meet her, but don't worry. You won't be disappointed. She was raised with cats and was great with them. She's a sweet dog who is deserving of a good home. Her foster mom writes: Paris is a whole new dog outside of the kennel! She is sooo affectionate, can’t get enough of people – this girl is starved for attention. I haven’t seen her with kids, but she is so gentle that she would likely do well with them. Paris and my 7 month old pup played all day long; he’s quite a bit bigger than she is, but that doesn’t bother her in the least. No problem getting along with my much larger male either. She is a bit cautious with the cats so far, but will make friends with them in time. She looks like a sporting breed, but doesn’t have the high energy of one. Rides well in the car, walks nicely on a leash and is quiet in the house. This girl is ready for a home! Please fill out an application and we will arrange for you to meet her. To speed the process, fill out an application so we'll have it ready when you come to meet her. Our hours are listed on the Web site. Last Modified: 1/7/2010 2:04:33 PM EST Printable Description
