Niki came in as a stray. It's pretty apparent that she was used in puppy mill and abused. When she first came in, she was afraid of everything-people, other dogs, the wind. Slowly, over the past couple of weeks, we have watched her come out of her shell as she regains her confidence. She is holding her head up high and is even playing with the others now. She has not had a single accident in her crate or the house. She enjoys being out with the family, but is also content to be in her crate. Our cat is perfectly comfortable in her presence. She is great with young children and we have yet to hear her bark. Loud noises still startle her briefly, but she is growing accustomed to the everyday noises of a home. She is estimated to be 4 years old. Won't you please consider giving Niki a decent life like she so deserves?

Cecilia
My name is Cecilia and I am about 6-7 years old. I was used for breeding and now that I am no longer needed my so called 'family' gave me up. I am in need of a forever home who will love me for me and not what I can do for them. I am a perfectly behaved girl. I am so very happy and content to have a place to rest my head and a warm place to sleep. I have taken care of so many puppies, but I am told it's now time for someone to take care of me. I am in need of some medical care due to my "family" not caring for me properly. Once my medical is taken care of I will be ready for my forever home. Do you have room in your heart for an older gal like me?

Mia
Mia is a 4 year old sweetheart who has lived outside until coming into rescue. She has some scars on both flanks & a belly injury from being caught in the fencing of the 10x10 outdoor pen she was being kept in. She had surgery to repair her belly and was spayed. She loves having her own warm bed in her indoor crate & has not once tried to potty inside. She was shy & unsure when first meeting her foster siblings. Now that she has gained confidence & security she is having a great time playing with the male & female boxers & children in her foster home. She is calm around smaller children. She has excellent house manners, knows basic commands & is a great companion that likes to be near her people. She will not get on the furniture unless invited & responds quickly to verbal cues. She really wants to please you. Unfortunately, due to living outside & not being up to date on her vetting, including monthly heartworm prevention, she is Heartworm positive & will be receiving treatment. This girl deserves a warm home & loving forever family.

Adoption Donation: $225.00Tramp
Need
a good and faithful companion? Here's the girl for you. She likes to sit next to you and if you give her a boost on to
the bed, she will cuddle up with you. If not, she'll go find another place to cuddle up. She likes to go out with you,
but needs a leash if she's going outside the fence. She does not jump on people she meets; she just gives the "boxer
wiggle". She is getting better about going to the door to let us know she needs to go out and barks to come in. Tramp
will get in her crate with a little coaxing (a few treats) and usually barks for awhile when she is in there. She gets along
great with our male and female boxer. Children are not a problem. She has not been kitty tested. Tramp is 9 years old.

Layla
Ms. Layla is a tiny little girl of no more than 30 pounds. We estimate she is between 1-2 years old. Layla had been abandoned by her owners who sentenced her to a life outdoors. She was chained to a dog house in the cold snowy weather with no food or water. Being so small and with inadequate fur to keep her warm, Layla would not have lasted long in the situation she was in. Lucky for Layla, she was saved by the local animal control in her area and is now safe in rescue. She is such a sweet girl and we’re still getting to know her. She gets along well with the small dogs in her foster home and is doing great with her potty training. She does not mind being crated and walks well on a leash. Actually you could describe her walk as more of a PRANCE…she is such a cute little girl.

Callie
Here is an update on Callie from her foster mom:
“We
have been in classes for 2 weeks now. We are in beginner’s agility with about 10 other dogs. There are 4 boxers from
the same breeder in that class. When we walked in everyone stared at us and I couldn't figure out why until it dawned
on me that they were staring at her "utters" which are still nearly dragging on the ground. The breeder boxers were
scared and wouldn't try the balance beam or the tunnels so I was concerned that my Callie would not try the equipment
since 4 weeks ago she wouldn't go through a doorway. When it came Callie's turn she walked up and happily did everything
that was asked of her. The instructor commented on how good she was. Later in class, 2 of the big breeder boxers snarled at
her and when I said "watch" she turned in a sit and ignored them! Our little rescue with her utters dragging out
did the breeder dogs...and I believe she knows it. She has become a confident girl. She no longer runs when she sees the leash.
She is as good walking off leash as she is on. She plays wonderfully with our male...I can't believe what he puts up with
from her! We also haven't had an accident in the house in 6 days. She no longer sleeps curled in a ball like a scared
dog but now stretches out and sleeps with me on the couch.”

Whisper
Whisper is approximately 3 yrs old and was breeder surrender to a local kill shelter. She is a happy little girl who has not been treated very well. We assume she was kept outside in a kennel and used solely for breeding purposes. She came in covered in fleas, ticks and with one ear ripped. Whisper does well with some dogs just not all dogs, she is a dominant female. She is a very loving and gentle little girl who seems to be very happy being near you. She does will with kids of all ages. She rides very well in a car and enjoyed being able to stretch out and take a long nap. Whisper is a little skittish around loud unfamiliar noises. She is going to make someone a wonderful companion.

Lexie
Lexie showed up at a house in a rural area starving, emaciated, and with large sores on her back. The people there fed her and kept her for a while, but are not able to give her a permanent home. Lexie has obviously been through a rough time in the past. She still has a fearful look and will lie down when approached with a leash. She does walk along on a leash well and jumped right into the car of her foster family. Her back has healed, leaving large scars. Her legs have scars from being tangled in a chain. She is still thin, but is gaining weight steadily. Lexie is about two-years-old. She needs a loving home where she can learn that people are kind and not cruel. Do you have that special home for Lexie?

HI! My

signing with me. I'm a very willing pup because I just want to please you. I'm great around all other dogs too.

Belle
Belle is a sweet little lady of 5 or 6 years. She only weighs 45 pounds and is very petite. Belle loves to zoom around the yard and likes you to pretend you are going to chase her. She is such a fun girl to be around and is very loving. When she is not playing outside she likes to relax on the couch. Belle loves kids, although when she gets frisky she could knock a young child down.
Belle likes consistency and is happiest if she in not constantly being exposed to new situations. She likes to go for rides in the car, but prefers to wait in the car if you need to get out. Belle likes to go for walks, but gets anxious when she crosses paths with other dogs and needs some redirecting. Belle will be happiest as an only dog. She mostly likes to be by your side enjoying family time. She is housebroken and crate trained, although she does not need crated. She is such a sweet girl and will be a great companion for the right family.

Hi! My name is Holly. I was brought in as a stray around Christmas, which is how I got my name. I am about a year old and full of energy. I have beautiful markings too. They don't think I have ever been allowed inside because I'm still not sure about being in the house. I was very leary at first, but am starting to come out of my shell. I am a bit rambunctious at this point, so an obedience class might be helpful in teaching me manners and how to be an inside dog. I love to wrestle with my other foster siblings and my foster family has learned that I am a fence jumper. There is a dog next door that I love to play with, so if I'm not on a lead, I jump right into the next yard. My foster parents have been working on my manners to turn me into the excellent dog they know I can be. Please see my video on www.petfinder.org. I just need a little love and patience! Do you think we would be a good match?

11-4-08 Bonnie's health has stabilized and she is looking for a home where she can live out her remaining days in peace and comfort. She takes aspirin daily to keep her comfortable. She is able to walk slowly and goes outside to potty or just relax in the fresh air. She prefers to be left along by the other dogs in her home but does not mind there presence. She is looking for a home that can give her lots of love and keep her comfortable. Please consider making a difference in Bonnie’s life. Bonnie will not have an adoption fee. She needs a home willing to let her live out her days in comfort.
2-28-08 Bonnie has more going on than expected. She is deteriorating very quickly in her back legs, hips and lower spine. She is in pain and the meds are barely able to help control her pain level. She has a very devastating and painful disease. She is scheduled another vet visit shortly.
2-4-08 On Saturday Bonnie
developed a bad limp and was acting like her leg was in severe pain. She was rushed to Shivley Animal Hospital on Sunday
and had extensive X-rays ran of her knee and hip. So far she has arthritis in her knee and some hip displaysia, we are
expecting the rest of the results shortly. She is on meds now to see if this helps in getting the inflamation down.
She may have to be a special needs gal.
Bonnie
is a flashy fawn girl with high white socks of approximately 18-24 months. She is housetrained, crate trained and gets along
well with other dogs. Cats are unknown at this time. She is fully vetted and ready for her new home. More will be posted as
we learn all about this little beauty.
Celeste
6-21-07 Update: Celeste is fully housetrained and loves to be around her family. She sleeps with her foster dad each night and has learned to trust again. She is extremely happy in her new life. She is an overall wonderful girl. She does need to be an only dog in her new home.
Celeste has had a very hard life for a 2-3 yr old boxer/american bulldog mix girl. She came in from a high kill shelter where she was for the second time. When they found her, she has been bred, attempted to be used for fighting but wouldn't and finally starved and left with untreated mange. She has good reason to fear people with the injustice she has suffered. Celeste is a timid girl and no longer the happy one that left the shelter a year ago. She will be getting a whole new start and hopefully will learn to trust and to love again. She has already been treated 3 times for mange and is starting to regrow some hair. Celeste is now ready for her new home.

Lori Ann-Not Available
UPDATE:
6-22-06 Lori Ann went for a 2nd HW test and will not be treated. She is to high a positive to survive the treatment
process. She will live what time she has left with her foster mom who loves her dearly. We will be getting her
teeth pulled and cleaned to cut down on the infection next week. She will know what it means to be loved and cared for
during the last part of her life. It is a shame this is happening to such a wonderful girl when it could all have been
prevented by using monthly heartworm preventative. If you do not have your dog on Heartworm preventative - PLEASE get
it tested and placed on monthly preventative. THIS IS THE LIFE OF YOUR PET YOU ARE PLAYING WITH. THIS COULD BE
YOUR DOG DYING OF HEARTWORM.
Lori Ann is a 7-8 yr old classic brindle female that was pulled from an extremely high kill shelter.
She is very loving and sweet. She is new to the program and we are still learning about her. She is very gentle,
gets along well with the other dogs in her new foster home. She has made herself at home on the sofa and follows her
foster mom everywhere. She loves attention and is very well mannered. In getting all her vetting up to date she
has been found a high heartworm positive. She will not be able to begin treatment as scheduled for we are
trying to kill the microfolora so her liver and kidneys can function more properly. She will also be undergoing
surgery for her teeth and several will be removed at that time. Please keep your eye on this wonderful girl.
