Chester

Roxi

Geri

Delton

 

Roxi & Puppies

Roxi is a 2 year old female German Shepherd/Saint Bernard cross.  She is housetrained but spent most of her time outdoors.  Roxi lived with children ages 2 to 13, cats, and other dogs.  She had 12 puppies and they are ready to go now!  Pups are 9 weeks old (on 3/8/10) and their father was most likely a Labrador.  Of the 6 we received at the shelter, 3 are male and 3 are female.  These adorable little guys won't stay long!

Izzy

Paco

Sissy

                               Bella

6 year old female Keeshond cross.  She was brought in as a stray on 3/5/10. Bella will be on a hold until 3/11/10. Bella seems like she was very well cared for.  She loves people and to be petted.  Bella has been great with both dogs and cats.  She is very affectionate and loves nothing more than a good rub behind the ears.  Bella needs a good home to retire at!  She would do best as an indoor dog and seems to be housetrained. 

Felon

5 year old neutered male Miniature Pinscher.  He is housetrained and rarely had accidents.  Felon is trained to stay close to home off the leash and was used to living in the country.  He is used to children as young as one year old.  Felon spent time with both dogs and cats.  He will bark to let you know someone is at the door.

Diablo

1 year old male Husky/Spaniel mix.  He is great with everyone, including strangers, cats, and other dogs!  Diablo knows how to sit and shake.  He spent his time outdoors and slept in the garage at night.  Diablo has been crated and could be eased into the house with some basic crate training and a feeding schedule.  He is very friendly and receptive and would excel in a canine obedience class! 

     

Butch

ADOPTION PENDING

1 year old male Beagle.  Butch lived with children ages 5 and 9, and 2 other dogs.  Butch is a fun loving dog who would do well in an active household.  Butch is crate trained and housetrained. He was kept in his kennel at night and when no one was home.  He knows how to sit on command and would love to be taught more tricks. 

Marley

2 ½ year old male Doberman Pinscher mix.  Marley is a very active dog who loves to play, give kisses, and loves to cuddle on the couch.  He knows how to play fetch, and also knows the command sit, down, and "don’t lick."  Marley slept in bed with his family.  He is crate trained, and even graduated to staying in the bedroom when no one was home.  Marley is used to traveling with his family, and has been to more states then most people.  Marley lived with another dog, a cat, and children 4 months to 3 ½ years.  Though Marley did live with young children, it would  be best for him to go to a home with children 12 or older.

Elway

1 ½ year old neutered male Shar Pei.  Elway lived with children ages infant to 3  years.  He interacted well with the neighbor’s dog and has been great with the female dogs and most of the males at the shelter.  He is housetrained.  Elway slept on the couch at night.  He is wary of strangers and protective of the home.  Elway will need a home with a fenced-in yard or he will roam.  Anyone interested in adopting Elway will need to come to the shelter a few times to visit before taking him home, just so he can get used to you.  This boy is a playful sweetheart!

                             Blackie/Buddy

7 year old neutered male Black Lab mix.  He is great with other dogs, but is not a cat lover.  He knows how to sit and shake, and he is also housetrained.  Buddy is playful for his age and doesn't act like a 7 year old dog!  He is a big fan of chew bones.  This boy is a staff favorite, he is very gentle, friendly, and loyal.  We originally acquired Blackie as a stray from ND; he was adopted and due to a landlord issue had to be returned.  His family had named him Buddy, and he responds well to both names. 

Libby

2 year old spayed female Hound X.  She is gentle and affectionate.  Libby will occasionally have issues with other dogs but has been working very hard to overcome this obstacle. We are not sure how she does with cats.  She is very playful and LOVES the water. We see her in and out of her pool all day long!  She seems to do well with car rides. She is not house trained, but like with any dog, you work with her were sure you could break her of this!

Sally

4 year old spayed female Husky mix.  She is good with most all other dogs and large cats.  Sally is not good with young children, puppies, or small cats and kittens.  She is housetrained and used to being crated.  Sally is very playful and would be a great running buddy!  She is somewhat shy of new people, but not aggressive.

 
 

  Andi

2 year old spayed female Boxer/Lab mix.  Andi is a real go getter; she has a lot of energy and needs a family active enough to keep up with her.  She needs a family that has time to spend with her on walks or even for a run or a bike ride.  At her last home Andi lived with children 7 and over, and another dog. She is housetrained and crate trained.  Andi slept on the floor at night next to the bed, and even knows to stay off of the furniture! 

Max

Born June 2006.  Male Black Labrador Retriever.  Max was an outdoor only dog.  He understands that he should not go to the bathroom in his kennel and never has accidents overnight.  Max would be easy to adjust to indoor life!  Max loves to run and play.  He has been very friendly to the other dogs at the shelter, both males and females. We think he would be a great dog for a family due to his friendly disposition. His only issue with young kids is his tendency to knock them down due to his size.  Max would benefit from basic obedience training such as sit and down.  This boy is eager to learn!

                              Berry

4 year old neutered male German Shepherd mix.  He lived with children ages 6 through teens.  Berry gets along well with kids and other dogs.  Occasionally he will get crabby   He was mainly an indoor dog who spent a few hours outside each day.  Berry is cratetrained and fully housebroken. He slept at the foot of the bed at night.  Berry is a very loving dog who would love to have a family that could take him camping and ice fishing.  He does have a old injury on his front left leg where he was run over by a truck, but it does not cause him any discomfort and he uses the limb fine.  

     

Khloe

7 month old female Black Lab mix.  She is a very friendly girl.  Khloe always has tons of energy.  She does very well with other dogs her size.  She’s not fond of smaller ones.  We also think she would be too rough with cats.  She is young enough that we feel she could make a great hunter!  She lived with young children.  She was also said to be housetrained, but stayed in a kennel outside during the day.

Deuce

4 ½ year old male Saint Bernard.  He is very friendly towards people and would do best with older kids due to his size.  He is not good with other dogs from what we have seen, and he can not go to a home with cat.  He needs to be the only pet in the home.  Deuce was an outdoor dog and slept in his dog house or inside a work shop.

Leo

1 1/2 year old male Aussie/Heeler/Collie.  He is very friendly and loves to play!  Leo was mainly an outdoor dog, so he would need some work on housetraining.  He will rarely have accidents in his kennel overnight and would respond very well to being crated when no one is home.  He would LOVE to have a little girl or boy to tear around the yard with! We believe he would do great with any family.  If you have cats, this boy is not for you!  Leo is a very quiet dog and we never hear him bark. He is one of the best behaved boys at the shelter!

     

Steve

1 year old male Lab/Boxer X.  Steve was dropped off at a farm. He stayed at the farm for about a month. In that time they told us that he is a very friendly dog. Always wanted to run and play.  He lived outside and slept in their garage at night.  He also seemed to do well with the other two dogs there. We are not sure how he acts inside as far as house training. We are also not sure how he is around cats.

CoCo

2 ½ year old female Chocolate Lab. She is crate trained, but does need some work on her house training. She was mainly an outdoor dog and spent most of her time in a fenced yard. Coco lived with young children and other dogs and did very well with both. She has also had some obedience training. CoCo would make a great addition to the family!

Kylie

8 year old neutered male Husky/German Shepherd.  Kylie loves to be outside to play in the yard.  He is used to a tie out but would be happiest with a fenced yard.  Kylie stayed in the kitchen or outside when no one was home.  He does have some separation anxiety issues when left home alone.  Kylie is great with children, cats, and other dogs.  He is very well leash trained and loves to go for walks.  We were told Kylie was house trained upon coming in, but he does need help on this in his next home.

     

                               Sadie

8 month old spayed female Black Lab.  She is very friendly and full of energy!  Sadie loves everyone and everything, including other animals and children.  She was mainly kept as an outdoor dog.  Sadie loves the other dogs at the shelter and would do very well in a home with another dog!  She has a very gentle demeanor and we think she would be a great addition to any family.

Jax

1 year old neutered male Boxer/Basset Hound cross. He has been started on housetraining and has done very well! He lived with younger children at his last home, however we do suggest that he goes to a home with teenagers or no kids. We only say that because he does have a lot of energy! He does need a little obedience training to enhance his set of manners. He is such a sweet boy, and very affectionate.

                              Buddy

1 year old male Black Lab.  He is very friendly and outgoing; Buddy is a fan of everyone!  He does well with children of all ages.  Buddy was an outdoor farm dog at his last home but is not good with cattle.  He would do best as an indoor dog with a family to spend time with. Buddy loves to cuddle and thinks he is a lap dog. He gets along well with most of the other dogs.  Buddy loves the female dogs and most other males. 

     

                               Blackie

1 1/2 year old male Lab/Husky.  He is good with dogs his size and lived with two others at his last home. He is used to kids over age 10.  Blackie always lived in an outdoor kennel and has not received a lot of training.  He catches on to new things quickly. All Blackie needs is an owner who is willing to teach him basic obedience.  He is a big bundle of energy and will need a large yard and active lifestyle.  We think Blackie would excel as a house dog with the right owners and some time and training.  He is our longest resident, arriving in November 2008. 

Cotton

ADOPTION PENDING

1 year old male Bichon/Poodle mix. He was found near Park Village on Highway 281 as a stray and will be held on stray hold until 3/6/10. We have come to realize in the few days we have had him that his is a wonderful little dog! He is very friendly and loves to cuddle. He also likes to play with the dogs here at the shelter.  We think he would do great in any home.  Unlike some of his same-sized canine friends, Cotton is not a barker!

Nakia

Older female Husky or Akita mix.  She gets along well with other dogs and doesn’t seem to mind cats from what we have seen.  Nakia startles easily and would do best in a home with kids over 8.  Her hearing is not the best and due to this she would need a fenced yard.  She seems house trained and has never had an accident overnight in her kennel.  Nakia is shy of new people and takes a little while to get to know you. 

 

Odie

3 1/2 year old male Dachshund/Beagle mix.  He was an indoor dog.  He is said to be housetrained. Odie is used to living with children as there was a 6 year old at his last home. He also lived with a cat. Odie is a very good dog and seems to like everyone! He is a little nervous around men at first, but warms up quickly and whole-heartedly.Like most hounds, Odie can be a barker and would do best with an owner that is home to spend time with him!

Taco and Blue

Taco is a 4 year old female Chihuahua.  She is housetrained and crate trained.  Taco is not a fan of the vacuum, broom, small children, or large dogs.  Taco kennels on command and likes to sleep on her dog bed at night.  Blue is a 1 ½ year old male long-haired Chihuahua.  He is great with everyone, excluding large dogs.  Blue is working on housetrained and is crate trained.  Both lived with a 12 & 14-year old, and several other dogs.  They will bark when someone comes to the door.  Both will go to the door when asked if they want to go outside.    We would like them to be adopted together since they do make a great pair!

                           Nutters

5 year old spayed female Welsh Corgi mix.  Nut looks mainly Corgi, but has long hair.  She is housetrained but needs a bit of a refresher course.  Nutters will need a home with an owner who spends most of their time with her!  She loves belly rubs and sleeping on the bed with her owner.  Nut is used to living with kids of all ages, other dogs, and cats.

Gracie Mae

6 month old female Yorkshire Terrier/Shih Tzu cross.  She was paper trained by her last owners and was used to spending time in a kennel.  Gracie lived with kids ages 5 to 7 and a large dog.  She was kept in the bathroom when no one was home, and slept on the bed at night.  Gracie currently has a broken leg which should be healed within the next week.

Ox

11 month old male Rottweiler/Mastiff cross.  He is housetrained and slept in his owner’s room at night.  He will sit on command and is eager to learn more tricks.  Ox is good with other animals.  He lived with children at his last home.  Ox was used to spending the day outside and was kept in an outdoor kennel when no one was home.
