Angel

Angel and I have gone for a few walks during the last week. Today, she came to stay with me during the interim.
She is great in the car. She rested here head on my leg and just laid still until we got to my house.

She’s very shy about exploring, but once she finds it okay to do so, she is very curious and sniffs a lot. She perks her ears up at all these new sounds and looks to the direction from which they are coming.

She doesn’t go up or down steps. She’s very uncomfortable around them. She’s not even comfortable being lifted to the next level.
She’s been with me all afternoon, but I still haven’t heard her bark or growl.

She follows me dubiously. She just wants attention and petting.

She makes great eye contact and appears to be rather intelligent. She’s picking up “SIT” (assuming she didn’t have that command before). When she doesn’t want to do something, she just lays down and won’t budge.

I’m forwarding a picture of her laying in the grass.

Bobble

Update 3/21/2013: Back at the shelter

This is Bobble. I call him Big Bob, or Bob for short. Bob is staying with Elliott (my dog) and I until he can find his forever home. He was a little nervous when he first came here, but quickly became very comfortable in his new surroundings. He’s very affectionate and doesn’t mind dogs. He does like his alone/quiet time, and may not be a good choice for a family with small children.

Bob is very smart, easily entertained, and is currently learning to knit. He’s not a picky eater, and has just developed a taste for potato chips.

He’s a big loveable guy, and will make someone a great companion.

See his Petfinder page for more info.

Buffy

Buffy is ready to find a loving family to love so she can show everybody just how special she is. She is such a sweet girl. She is very mellow and low-key; don’t even know she is there because she is so well behaved. She is not much of a barker. She can usually be found lounging on her favorite rug in the family room or curled up in her bed in her crate. Buffy does enjoy her walks and does pretty well on a leash. She does get excited and wants to pull at first but we are working on that. She enjoys her chew toys but does not chew what is not hers. Buffy has not grasped fetch yet but is trying. She loves the outdoors and lounging in the grass soaking up the sunshine.

Buffy is a loveable dog and loves to give licks. She wants to jump up and give hugs to show affection. She loves belly rubs and to cuddle.

Buffy is crate trained and house trained. Buffy would be a good fit for a home that does not have any cats or dogs. She enjoys being the only pet.

Buffy is a great dog and would make a perfect companion.

Emily

Emily has been a wonderful addition to our home.  She is very outgoing and loves to  be around people.  Emily is great at giving kisses and loves to cuddle up on your lap after a day of playing.

Everyday is a new adventure for Emily.  She loves to explore her backyard, sniffing the new flowers and chasing the butterflies.  She has just discovered fireflies and is quite surprised when they light up near her nose.

Emily loves to be active.  Fetch is one of her favorite games.  She will gladly retrieve any kind of ball, stick, or frisbee.  Soccer balls are the most challenging, but she is very determined and manages to retrieve them too.  Emily also loves to go for  walks in the neighborhood; she is fascinated by the rabbits, squirrels, and birds scurrying around.  She likes to go for rides in the car; especially when the destination is her favorite pet store.  Emily has also learned to swim; enjoy the pool in the hot summer days.

Emily is currently attending obedience school where she has learned the commands “sit” and “down”.  She is working on “wait , “leave it”, and how to walk nicely on a leash.  Emily is a smart girl and catches on quickly especially when treats are her reward.

She shares her foster home with older children, dogs, and cats, and she loves to play with all of them.   Emily is also house-trained and crate-trained.

Emily is a very sweet girl and will be that loving, devoted best friend that you have been looking for!

Hannah

Hannah is a mild manner, 5 year old Shepard and Collie mix, who loves being part of a family. She spends most days lounging around the house, but when the family comes home from school and work , she is ready for the bustling family activities, from going for walks to playing chase with her foster family’s dog.

Her favorite activity is riding in a car, whether it is just running errands, grocery shopping or taking her foster brother to school she is ready to go! She has even gone on vacation with her foster family and stayed in a hotel.

She has attended dog training classes and masteredcommands such as: sit, down, come, here, leave it, shake hands and roll over. She will make a wonderful companion!

Rosario

Rosario, Rosie as we call her, is a very sweet girl.  She is completely house-trained.  She eats well.  She is currently eating canned and dry Chicken for the Soul dog food mixed.  She would only eat canned food, but we have managed to get her to eat both now, we hope to get her on only dry.

Rosie loves to be held and cuddled and will give kisses freely.  She sleeps all night.  She is not a big barker, but when she does bark it is pretty high pitched.  She loves to be outside in the backyard when the weather is nice.  She seems to get along with our dogs well.

Rosie seems to be protective of us when there are new people in the house.  I’m not totally sure about children.  She doesn’t seem to like our granddaughter very well.  But, it may be because she isn’t here all the time and is perceived as a stranger.

With a period of adjustment to become accustomed to a new home, she will make someone a very good pet.

Winnie

Winnie is an adorable little girl! She has lots of energy and love. She loves to play and chew on her toys. She loves the sunshine and laying in laps. She plays well with our dog and cat and listens when they tell her enough playing! She is very smart, working on her manners and potty training. She sleeps quietly through the night in her crate, and is even dry most nights. We have loved having her and will miss her when she finds her family. Great dog!
