 Daisy

C8087
 Hank
 ID#
C8086

Daisy is a female mixed breed puppy that was probably born around December 2007. Daisy was adopted from the dog shelter by a family that was not allowed to have pets in their apartment: needless to say she was soon after brought to us. Daisy is a sweet girl that deserves a loving forever home.
Adoption Fee: $130.00

Hank is a 2-3 year old male yellow lab. We rescued Hank after he had basically been abandoned. He was tied up in his previous owner’s back yard and never socialized. By the time we got to Hank he was so dehydrated he could not swallow any food. Based on his condition and level of dehydration there was no medical reason for him to still be alive. The fact that Hank survived this neglect is nothing short of a miracle. Hank was very reserved at first and even a little aggressive; but it hasn’t taken him long to realize that not every human wants to hurt him. Now that he knows we are there to help him he has shown us what a sweet boy he really is. He surprisingly shows no food aggression whatsoever and is great with children. If you think you could provide Hank with the loving forever home he deserves please stop by and meet him!
Adoption Fee: $100.00

 Jackson

Jordan is one of Winnie’s puppies; he is also Annie’s brother. If you have not yet heard Annie’s heartbreaking story here is a little history: Winnie was rescued from the dog shelter by our Director just three days before she delivered her puppies on 2/13/08. Before her arrival at the dog shelter Winnie had been eating rocks and cigarette butts because she was so starved. By the time Winnie had come to be in our care she was so emaciated and dehydrated we were uncertain she would survive childbirth. We administered fluids and fed her as well as we could to prepare her for the event. It was nothing short of a miracle when Winnie gave birth to seven puppies that appeared to be perfectly healthy. As you may know this proved not to be the case with Annie: she has suffered a myriad of difficulties in regards to her health. However Jordan has proven to be a very healthy boy despite his rough start to life.

Scooter and his brothers Dave and Blake are from a litter of Mountain Feist puppies. If you are interested in adopting any of these boys please read more about the breed. A great place to start is http://dogbreedinfo.com/mountainfeist.htm. This is a type of squirrel hunting dog. The man that surrendered these puppies to us uses his parents for that very purpose. However the dad accidentally got into the mom’s pen and a “surprise” litter was born! The owner had no use for the pups at this time and preferred to see them go to good homes rather than to just sell them so he brought them to us. These boys are ornery to say the least! Especially Scooter! Scooter is a wild man that is very vocal and has lots of energy. These boys would really benefit from puppy classes and being a high energy breed will require regular exercise their entire lives.

Adoption Fee: $130.00
*Sponsor Me*

Holly is a female Chow/Black Lab mix who is VERY sweet. Holly has had a rough life. Someone dumped Holly in the back pen overnight; it was raining and just above freezing out. Holly was very cold and soaking wet. She was nearly starved to death: you could clearly see every rib and every vertebra on her tiny body. Holly was also missing most of he hair and was covered in sores as a result of demodectic mange. Despite her heartbreaking appearance and empty belly she has always had the sweetest disposition. Holly is very quiet and calm and gets along well with other dogs. She loves everyone and only wants someone to pay her a bit of attention. During her stay Holly has nearly reached her ideal weight and most of her hair is at least beginning to grow back. She is content just to have a warm place to sleep and food in her bowl. The only thing that could possibly make this sweet girl any happier is for someone to take her home.

 Truman
 ID# C7177
   

Truman is a one year old male mixed breed with LOTS and LOTS of energy! Truman was dumped in the back pen of the shelter after hours. He appears to be housetrained; he will not go in his run and goes in the grass when the kennel tech takes him out in the morning. Truman is a big dog and is probably most of the way done growing but he still may get bigger. Potential adopters need to understand that what they are getting themselves into; Truman is one big rowdy boy! A fenced in yard is probably a VERY good idea. Truman is very happy to be alive and loves people!
Adoption Fee $90.00
