Petie

Foster Home Notes: Petie is a doll baby with a sweet little personality full of love. He is NOT crazy active but he does love to play. He loves to chase the water hose and lay in the baby pool to cool off. He loves to play ball and chase his toys and his squeaky toys are his favorite! He listens very well and comes when called and goes in his bed when told. Petie is fine with most of my dogs and loves to run with them and play with them but this is not always the case with one of my larger dogs. He doesn't like her and barks at her alot. Petie is very submissive to me and will need someone with dog experience who can be the alpha personality in the relationship. Jack Russell's will typical do whatever they can get away with but Petie just wants to please. It took him a while to warm up to me at first b/c he was just confused but now he is a mama's boy and he loves to wiggle that short little tail of his for treats. He is a great little dog, he just needs to be an only dog where he can get lots of love. He needs a secure fenced yard or someone to leash walk him alot.

History: Petie was the vet to be euthanized by his owner b/c he didn't get alone with her other dog and she didn't want to deal with it anymore. I happen to be there and offered to take him. She told me Petie used to be fine but he was attacked last year by some dogs running free and she thinks in hindsight he may have thought her other dog was involved in the confusion. since the attack, he has had issues with other dogs. As stated above though, he now lives with me and several dogs and he is doing fine once I laid down the law! :)

Skippy

Foster Home Notes:Skippy is a precious little boy and sometimes he looks like a cartoon dog! LOL He has the biggest eyes and the biggest ears on this tiny little boy and when he looks up at me, he is just cute! He also prances when he walks! Skippy is a puppy at heart. He loves his toys and he loves to play with the other small dogs. He doesn't chew on things in the house as long as I keep toys around for him. He is very good about going outside to potty but I have to still go with him. Skippy is still play biting where he gently puts his mouth on your arm or hand to play. We are working on training him not to do this anymore and he is very smart so he will pick it up pretty quickly. Skippy comes when called and goes into his crate when given a treat. He sleeps on the bed at night but can't jump up on his own. He just stands on the side, gives me his best "I love you mommy" look and I pick him up! LOL Skippy is still a fairly active little dogs so he will need someone to play with him and walk him or run him in the backyard.

History: Skippy was picked up stray by the county shelter then adopted out to a family. That family tried to return him to the shelter when they realized they really couldn't afford to care for him well but the shelter is temporarily shut down. They contacted us for help.

Wedo

Foster Home Notes: Wedo is a wonderfully sweet little man who loves to sit in your lap and get the security and love of his mom or dad. He is very alert to new noises and his ears will perk up then he will run and jump in your lap until he knows where it is coming from :) He is a little shy at first but very playful when he gets comfortable. He loves other dogs and seems to watch his foster siblings for guidance. He is still learning to walk on a leash as well. Wedo would be great in a home with another dog to follow as this is his personality but he may grow to be braver as he gets older. He just needs someone to spoil him rotten.

History: Wedo was a stray that a friends brother brought home from the shelter. Her brother lives with her and she said "no more dogs!" so we took him to find him a home.

Foster home notes: Chipper is a sweet little guy with a funny personality and lots of love to give. He is very shy at first and wil ned someone who can be patient and wait for him to get comfortable with his new surroundings. This could take days, it could take weeks. Chipper needs a home with another small dog or dog friendly cat. He requires leash walking only. We have already had instances where large birds think he is a rabbit so he can not be off leash at all. Chipper is spoiled rotten and loves to be carried around. when I take him outside he has me carry him down the deck steps, then he wiill prance on leash like a little deer and do his business. When he is done, he lays down and waits for me to carry in him back up the stairs! It could be that that they are tall and open so he is fearful of falling but he certainly has me trained. Chipper loves to run around and find the tiny little stuffed animals and bring them back to his bed for company. He wiggles that little butt with happiness but all the while unsure if he will get in trouble for it. He also loves to give kisses. Chipper is great with the cat. Actually they are partners in crime! The cat walks across the dresser and knocks things off, then Chipper runs and collects them and hide them under the bed. We wondered where things were going then one day we cleaned under the bed!!!! Chipper needs a home with no small children (now or in the future) where life is quiet and he can have peace and he can have lots of toys!. He would love to have another dog to snuggle with or a cat that likes dogs.

Note: Chipper needs a dental cleaning b/c he has several loose teeth in the front. We can not afford it right now but if e gets adopted we will put that fee towards his teeth.

History: Chipper was picked up by the shelter. Then a family adopted him and give him as a Christmas present to their daughter. She didn't like him.

Probie

Foster Home Notes: Probie is a sweet little man who loves to sit with his paws in your lap or next to you as long as he can lean on you to be close. He listens well and is very smart and loyal. When he is out of food or water you know it b/c he will toss his bowl around making noise until you fill it up!. I love when I fill the water bowl and he licks his lips in anticipation. Probie just wants to be loved. I have not seen him play with toys yet but he plays with the other dogs. He goes in his crate when told but of course then he expects a reward and he gets one. I do crate him when I am not home and he sleeps on my bed at night. He may be able to be trained to sleep in his own bed but it will take some work. He is very smart. Probie also loves to go for walks.

History: Probie has spent his little life on a rope in the yard with no shelter except to get under his deck. When the family moved they let him loose and left him behind. He was very skinny and dirty when we took him in.

Grady

Foster Home Notes: Grady is a fun, playful little man who is th ebest of both worlds. He lvoe sto curl up and sleep or just look out the window but he also loves to go for walks or trot around the yard guarding the house from those ficious birds ands squirrels. Grady listens very well and a love bug. He curls up at the bottom of my bed to sleep at night but also enjoys his dog bed when I accidently kick him off in the middle of the night, He is great with the other dogs but did try and chase the cat. He is a big man in a little body. Most of the time, Grady is sitting on the back of the chair looking out the window. He does enjoy his evening walk and is very goo don leash. He doesn't pull but he does zig zag always looking for the most interesting thing he can sniff. He got out of hte house once but when he realized the other dog that was with him had responded to my recall and come home, he got bored and came back too. Don't let Grady's age turn you off. This little man has 10 years left in him and he needs someone to love him!

History: Grady was a stray turned into animal control after being found running on a busy road where his little doggie friend had already been killed. No one ever came to claim him. We rescued him on his last day before they were going to euthanize him.

Lewie

Foster Home Notes: Lewie is a loving little man with a sweet personality. He is so quiet and stoic that when he does come up and lay on my lap or stand up to jump into my arms, it is precious and makes me happy. He follows me around from room to room and is usually foun dsleeping near my when I sit down. He is asleep on the floor near me now. Lewie is smart and sweet and listens well. Lewie requires a home where doors are not held open and with someone with dog experience. Lewie requires leash walking or a wooden privacy fence. He is so skinny he can fit through anything and he can climb a chain link if he puts his mind to it. Lewie just wants to sleep on the bed and get lots of treats and love.

History: Lewie and his friend Lizzy were picked up stray together by Animal Control. We took them out on thier last day before they were to be killed b/c the shelter had no more room. Lizzy seems attached to him, he doesn't seem to care that she exists!

Sunshine

Foster Home Notes: Sunshine is a sweetheart. She can sit, shake and speak on command and will paw at your foot if you take too long to give her her treat! She follows me around everywhere and loves to lay on the cool floor with her little legs sprawled out and her belly flat. She loves to just come and sit by me when I rest and just hang out. She is afraid of the camera though. :) Sunshine just wants a normal life again where she can live in peace and retire. She love to go for walks and waddles with her little fat body. She needs to lose a few pounds and get her girlish figure back. She also loves to go for car rides but be careful, she knows how to roll the window down! Sunshine sleeps on the foot of my bed but she would be happy in a dog bed nearby. She can't jump up or down so she has to be helped. Her hearing and eye sight seem perfectly fine. Please overlook her age and give her a loving retirement home.

History: Sunshine was picked up stray by Animal Control.

Opie

Foster Home Notes: Opie is so cute and precious. He always look like he is half tied and half alert b/c one ear is constantly down and one is constanly up! He is smart and goes in his bed when told. He loves to play with the ohter dogs and although interested in the cat, he is not aggressive towards her at all. Opie is a little shy of new poeple but within minutes he is their friend. We just need to get him out and about more. He just looks at them from afar and runs off if they move towards him. Opie has yet to play with toys but that will come with time I am sure. He hasn't been here very long.

History: Opie was abandoned at the dog park and lived out there alone for over a week until I got a call and put out a dog trap and caught him. He was too terrified to come to anyone.

Foster home notes: Mikey is happy, rolly polly beagle boy. He spends his days on the bed or couch napping or looking out the window waiting, longing for his daily walk. He loves to go for walks and knows his schedule. If you get off schedule he will whimper and dance by the door to let you know “hey, lets go!”. When I have volunteers come over he dances for them begging to go for a walk. He is so silly. Mikey loves everyone he meets. He is good, gentle and loves to play with the other dogs. He likes to torment the cats so no kitties for him. He is great with kids as well. Mikey will have to wear a belly band for the first couple of weeks in a new home. Each time we have moved him to a new foster home, he marks but quickly gets over it. No problem, he is just a boy who feels the need to establish his territory so we fool him with the belly band!

History: Mikey ran across the road in front of a friend's truck. He was carrying his dinner, a prized dead bird he had found somewhere. Mikey was only 11 lbs when he should be more like 22. He had been out on his own for along time. When my friend pulled over, he come to her sweetly just wanting to be loved. She put him in her car and rushed him to the vet out of concern for his health b/c you could see every bone in his body. Amazingly, he was heartworm Negative and his bloodwork looked great!

Daisy

Foster Home Notes: Daisy is a sweet, snuggly, playful girl. She loves to toss her toys in the air and then try and shake them to death. She can't have stuffed toys b/c she destroys them but boy does she have fun doing it so she gets cheap ones on special occasions! Daisy likes to play ball and go for walks. She also loves to go to the dog park. Daisy sleeps under the covers and snuggles up close. Daisy is good with kids but a little scared of them. She attaches herself to one person in the household and doesn’t play with children. She seems dismayed by them and little scared. She lets them pet her and is fine outside of the home but we placed her in a home with kids once and she refused to go near them! She needs a home with children over 10 yrs of age or no children at all. If you want a loving, loyal, playful girl full of spirit and smart as can be, here she is!

History: Daisy was abandoned by her family a couple of years ago and rescued by a nice lady. That lady now has way too many dogs b/c she wants to save them all. We are helping her care for and place some of the dogs.
