|
|
Adopted
Baxter is a six month old male beagle who came from a field trial breeder and he was not a good hunting dog so he is going to be adopted as a pet. He is gorgeous and very affectionate. Friendly to kids and raised with other dogs and animals. He cries loudly in the crate so needs a stay at home or dog buddy.

Bethany, 2 yrs Female Rottweiler
/ Beagle
Mix
|
|
|
Adopted
Bethany is a 35 lb. Rottweiler/beagle mix with beautiful soulful eyes. She's fully housetrained, crate trained, doesn't chew on anything except her toys (which she rips apart with glee), not a barker, plays nicely with both dogs and children (although likes to jump up, so may knock the "wee" ones over) and is a big couch potato. She's very playful and sweet and wants nothing more than to follow you around and cuddle up next to you. Bethany does have a little separation anxiety if she is not crated when you leave her. She should grow out of this once she gets a stable home.

Dory, 10-12 weeks Female Pointer
/ Whippet
Mix
|
|
|
Adopted
Dory is an adorable 16 week old pointer mix pup who is adorable and sweet. She loves nothing better than to sit on your lap or play with a toy by your side. She learned to sit in one five minute clicker training session and she loves to sit for treats. She's good with other dogs too, but really wants people so would be a great pet for someone lonely. She's not going to be too big, probably medium-sized at most. The vet thinks she's possibly a whippet/pointer. She has all the grey ticking of a pointer. She is very affectionate and loves everybody, including kids and other dogs.
Please have flexible hours as she is a baby and if you are a young family, please have a fenced in yard for her.

This little charmer is Erin. She is a Chihuahua mixed with something a little larger. She is 2 yrs old (as of 2/14) and weighs about 20 lbs. She does have a docked tail. Erin is a very sweet dog.

She has been fine with the other dogs, but may pay too much attention to the cats. We are sure Erin will please whoever adopts her.

Fionn, 10 years Male Wheaton Terrier, Blind
|
|
|
Adopted
Fionn's foster mom (and Rocky) couldn't bear to see him go, so they have adopted him.
Fionn (meaning brave in Irish) is a ten year old Wheaton Terrier who was left out in the cold, tied to a stake with a rope too short to reach his dog house, hence he was seized by the animal control folks for having no shelter. He was severely matted, so much so that he could not go to the bathroom. No dog deserves to live like he has been forced to live for God knows how long. Thank God our rescue angels have taken him in where he now enjoys a warm bed and some good food.
Fionn may have lost his eyes, but now that he is no longer in pain he's
reclaimed his puppyhood. His favorite pastimes include playing chew-heads
with his one-year-old foster brother, Rocky (Save a Dog alumnus, October
'03), gnawing on raw hide bones, exploring the back yard, barking wildly
along with the other dogs when someone rings a doorbell on television, and
of course snuggling up to his foster mom for a good belly scratch
(his). Once Fionn learned not to jump off the couch onto his sleeping 11
year old foster brother who is also blind, they became fast friends and
now like to lie next to each other when they chew bones. He would do well
as an only dog if he wasn't left alone for long periods of time; another
dog would be great if the dog was very submissive as Fionn is very
vulnerable, not having either the temperament or physical ability to
protect himself.
A huge thank you to the following supporters who have donated to Fionn's medical bills.

Hardy, 1 year old Male Border Collie
Mix
|
Click on picture to enlarge
|
|
Adopted
This is Hardy! He is a Border Collie mix who is about 10 1/2 months old (as of 1/9). We think possibly some Newfie as he has the Newfie plume of a tail. He is very people oriented with a happy, outgoing personality. He is good natured and loves every one he meets. He has been good with the other dogs at the foster home in Wayland, but prefers to play with large females as he likes the rough and tumble type. We don't think he would be good with cats. Hardy is very energetic and will need some daily exercise. He is very smart and eager to please, so he should train well. If you are looking for an agility dog, he would be great at that. He is anxious to bond.

Hunter, 5 years old Male lab
/ husky
Mix
|
Click on picture to enlarge
|
|
Adopted
Hi, My name is Hunter. I'm five years old. My mom was a purebred lab, but dad is a Siberian Husky. I was in a home until recently. My owner could not keep me anymore. I've always been an only pet but played with a large dog next door. I didn't get much exercise at my last place as we didn't have a fenced in yard, but I love to chase balls and go for walks. The rescue people think the weight will come right off once I get a daily workout. Outside I love to run around, but inside I'm a couch potato. Because of my size, it would be better for me to go to an adult home or one with teens.

Lucy, 12 years Female Border Terrier
|
Click on picture to enlarge
|
|
Adopted
Lucy is a purebred Border Terrier whose elderly owner can no longer provide her with the care she needs. She was born Feb 5, 1991 and weighs about 19-23 lbs.
. She is friendly and healthy. She does not bark, this is a great thing, she only barks at other animals.
. She is very well behaved, no jumping up etc. Lucy tends not to jump up on furniture unless she invited.
. Lucy would make a great companion dog for one person, a couple or a group of older people. I would say she is not a dog for children. She tends to like to herd the kids she has been with, and although she has NEVER bitten, she does better with adults then with the fast moving children.
. Lucy has her own spot in the kitchen and sleeps in her bed (a small round cat bed, but we never tell her it is a "cat" bed).
. Lucy loves to be outside. Her Mom uses a lead for her and she will lay in the sun quietly and enjoy the back yard.
. Lucy also loves to go for walks and walks well on a leash. She is very use to walking on leash and does not pull.
. Lucy loves to ride in the car and is a good passenger. She rides well un-restrained and restrained. They have used the doggie seat belts in the past for her own safety. She does not need a seat belt, she does not jump around in car.
. They have taken Lucy on road trips and she has stayed on with her owners in vacation homes and has done very well adjusting to her new spot. They just bring her bed and she is all set.
. Lucy loves to just be in the room where you are in, a very good companion. Preference will be given to a retiree or senior, but we will consider other applications as well.

Adopted
Macy is a white female Shih tzu pup about 8 or 9 months who needs a stay at home as she was turned in for separation anxiety. She will need to be crate trained and house trained. She is just a lovely puppy who wants to play. We will consider applications from folks who work from home part time. No families with small children, please as she is just a baby herself.

Mojo, 1.5 years Male Labrador Retriever
|
Click on picture to enlarge
|
|
Adopted
Mojo is a 1.5 year old neutered male lab. He's a purebred lab who came from
a breeder and he has an excellent temperament with adults and kids. He's
just a big, bouncy 80 lb. boy who needs a fenced in yard and someone to
give him the time and attention. He was raised by a family with a toddler,
an infant and another dog. He is tireless when it comes to chasing balls
and running around in the back yard, but he's also pretty good in the
house. No jumping up or counter-surfing from this boy. However, he does
need to be crated when you're not home as he's a typical lab who chews when
he's bored. He is very good with children, but will accidently knock the
little ones down as he doesn't know his own strength so maybe older kids
would be best. He is otherwise very gentle and readily shares his food and
toys with everyone. Like any lab he needs a family who has lots of time for
training and ball throwing. He loves to be with people.

Mosley, 7 mos Male Pit bull
/ Beagle
Mix
|
|
|
Adopted
Mosely is a 7 month old male boxer or pit mix who was recently turned in by his owner due to a death in the family. His fur is soft as a teddy bear and he loves to sit in your lap and be petted. We're trying to figure out if he is really a boxer mixed with beagle as he is very clingly like a beagle and loves to crawl in your lap. He also has markings on his paws like a beagle and much softer fur than a pit or boxer. He is the sweetest dog and an easy keeper. He will curl up at your feet and just chew on a bone. He plays with other dogs, but is afraid of bullies. He is very good natured and is friendly to everyone. He is not high energy and listens. He is being trained and responds well to praise, doesn't always need treats. He's such a good dog. Please be breed experienced as he deserves a great home with someone doesn't mind having a dog who might not be a pit, but who, at first glance, might be mistaken for one..

Sidney, 11 mos Female Mini Australian Shep
Mix
|
Click on picture to enlarge
|
|
Adopted
Sidney is a mini Aussie female who is about 11 months old. She is a very devoted dog who latches onto one or two people and is totally bonded. She was not exposed to small children so we are working with her on that but she is a herding breed so we wouldn't recommend children anyway. She is full house trained and very quiet in the house, just love to sit by your side. She is the easiest and most well behaved, sweet and adorable little dog in the house. No begging at the table, no countersurfing, she stays off the bed,sleeps quietly on her blanket through the night, and is content to snooze velcroed to her foster mom's feet for long hours when she is at her desk, and is so happy for attention, not mouthy when playing. She seems to prefer a rural environment as she is alarmed at city noises. She needs some leash work outside as she will bark and lunge at other dogs. She is fine with the household dogs in the back yard, but not while on leash. We think she would excel as an only pet in a quiet adult household.

Click on picture to enlarge
|
|
Adopted
Sierra is a one year old female Shepherd/husky mix who was rescued from the pound and fostered with five children, the youngest being five years old. She is as sweet as can be and very gentle. She doesn't like the crate, so a home with someone there during the day might be preferable. We're working on the crate issue, but most huskies or mixes don't like the confinement. She is supposedly housebroken. She's up to date on shots and spayed.
