Dixie is a 4 year old spayed chocolate female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 4 and up. She weighs 58 lbs. She knows some commands and walks ok on a lead. She is a little shy when she first meets you but warmsup quickly. She is a bit more shy with men. Dixie just had surgery on her right knee for a problem where the knee cap doesn't properly glide in the femur. Her left knee will be operated on in about 6 weeks. She has a playful side that she can't act on at the moment. Update from Dixie's foster family 8/20/2010: Dixie is doing amazing! You would never know this dog had surgery on her knee just a few weeks ago. She can keep up with the other dogs now and LOVES to retrieve anything. She gets it and brings it back, but you have to remind her a few times to drop it when she brings it back. She's just so excited when she is retrieving that she's waiting for you to throw it while it's still in her mouth. She is definitely an active girl who likes exercise. She would be great for someone who wants to build up their pitching arm. She's got the stamina of a 6 month old, but without all the chewing:) In indoor manners are good, and she can hold her potty for a long period of time (10 hours one rainy day). She's at the bottom of our "pack" here and is fine with that. She is also good with the human child, no issues except for the excessive kissing. If you aren't paying her good enough attention she will kiss you until she wears a hole in your arm. She is still a bit timid of men, but eventually she will realize that they are nice too.

She is both house and crate trained. She has some arthritis but has no problem chasing a ball in the yard, swimming or taking her evening walk. She's on glucosamine supplements for her arthritis. Update from Emmie's foster family 8/24/2010: We took Emmie to the Yappy Hour at Foster's Grille the other night and she did well with the other dogs. She has also been around kids of all ages, even infants, and she is fine with them all. She is not a licker but loves to nuzzle and is a gentle moocher. She is a very loving, loyal dog and very obedient. Emmie does not look to play with other dogs or children, but is accepting of attention. She doesn't snore and sleeps through the night. I think she actually prefers to sleep in. She is young at heart and will surprise you with her energy AND her ability to run and run and run. She is housetrained and does not need to be crated, although, I am not sure she would be opposed to it (she sleeps under our bed often). I have not figured out what her reaction to cats is but I plan on exposing her. When Emmie is outside, she is all heart...she just wants to play. She is very pretty! Sponsor Emmie |

Mason is a 6 year old yellow neutered male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. Mason likes to run. He needs to gain some way and knows how to use the dog door. He's best in a home without cats. He knows his commands and pulls a bit when he first starts out on a leash. He is both house and crate trained but doesn't need the crate. He's very energetic and loves to run and play. Mason is a happy couch potato when he's indoors. He came from a home with a 14-month-old, and he was very gentle with him. Great house manners, fully house trained, no marking. Poor guy, we've had to move him several times because of foster vacations. Each time, he settles in after a bit, but he needs some help with the transition. No cats for this guy. Mason will do better in a home with a tall fence or perhaps a tie-out; he likes to take advantage of opportunities to go exploring and can still jump. He is very sweet and will make a great companion for somebody. Sponsor Mason

Update from Mickey's foster family 8/29/2010: He is a good boy, He is full of energy for his age, I thought he was younger from his playfulness. He is very well behaved. No accidents in the house.

Mozart is a 4 year old black neutered male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and cats and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 65 lbs. Mozart is extremely well mannered and has been through obedience training. He is house and crate trained although the crate is not necessary. He has a charming personlity. Update from Mozart's foster family 9/7/2010: Mozart thrives on attention and loves to snuggle. He has the capacity to be athletic and agile despite his re-injured paw, gives excellent eye contact to his handler when asked, and is superb in the house. He is motivated with food, voice and physical praise, seeming quite proud when he is told he is such a GOOD boy! He is a very eager student with a sharp mind! Mozart remains very hesitant to get inside of a vehicle, perhaps due to some long standing fear that he will be taken somewhere and abandoned again. Efforts are ongoing to encourage him to go less hesitantly into his crate in the van. Mozart is slightly initially shy, somewhat submissive, VERY loving and lovely Labrador! He is a happy, eager-to-please dog, who is VERY easy, biddable, and consistently calm, with the exception of thunder storm events, gun fire, fireworks and raised voices. Mozart enjoys stuffed toys and balls, sometimes becoming quite frisky, shaking and flipping his stuffies around and up into the air, and will engage in an energetic game of fetch in the yard. A good collection of stuffed toys and throw toys is optimal to prevent boredom. Very good about having his nails trimmed/dremmeled and ears cleaned and is easily handled Overall, Mozart has NO tendency to 'get into mischief', but he does like to explore new environments and sounds. Should he begin to do anything marginally inappropriate, he is quickly corrected with an "Aacht, aacht, leave it!" from his handler and does not repeat the behavior. Mozart settles easily in the house where he is rock-solid. He has become accustomed to resting independently or nearby his foster. He loves his Kong (often filled with almond/peanut butter or spray cheese). He sleeps quietly and contentedly through the night (7-8 hours or longer), either on or beside his foster's bed or on his own dog bed and is a wonderful companion animal! |

24 month old neutered black male. Children 10 and over due to his size. He’s ok with a very dog savvy cat. He is super affectionate – loves people, his toys and just being goofy. He is good with his foster’s other dogs and would be a great companion with the right dog, but will need proper introduction with new dogs he encounters while walking. He is housetrained, doesn’t need a crate. He would love to have a running companion – he can easily run 3-4 miles and is very well behaved on the leash while running. He needs to go to a home where he will get lots of exercise, free running time and training. Sponsor Trevor

Trixie is a 3 1/2 year old black spayed female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs and is learning how to walk on a leash. She is a sweet girl who's a little shy and is learning how to wag her tail. Trixie continues to make progress. She is comfortable with most household noises and activity, although loud and sudden things will still make her retreat to a safe spot like her crate for a few minutes. Her big hurdle continues to be walking out in the open on a leash. She does better in quiet parks with no traffic around than along the street. Trixie is now housetrained. She has no issues with other dogs or cats. Her main form of play is running around and playing a sort of tag. For whatever reason, she’s in love with stairs. She likes to run up and down them as part of her play. Sponsor Trixie
