Cecilia: Pending
My name is Cecilia and I am about 6-7 years old. I was used for breeding and when I was no longer needed my so called 'family' dumped me at a shelter. 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 housebroken and crate trained, although I don't need crated. I get along great with other dogs, cats, and children. Do you have room in your heart for an older gal like me?

Tramp
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.

Daisy
Ms.
Daisy is an 8 y.o. sweetheart. She appears to have been on her own for quite some time. She has a good appetite, but is still
on the thin side and needs to gain a few more pounds. As far as her personality, she is very sweet and
likes very much to cuddle. She loves to follow her foster mom around the house. She craves attention and
needs an owner who can give her the time she needs. Daisy loves to ride in the car and gets along very well with her foster
brothers. She also enjoys playing with her young foster brother, and likes it when he chases her around the yard. She is working
on her leash walking and trying to learn not to pull so much. But by walking her regularly on the leash, and getting her to
learn to heel, she should get better quickly. Daisy has learned her name quickly and comes very well on command. She rarely
barks. Her only bad habit is that she sometimes gets excited and jumps on people. We are trying to break her of the habit
with positive reinforcement. Daisy is house-trained. She had an accident in the first couple of days that we got her, but
we attribute that to stress. She will make a great addition to almost any home!!!

Lilly
Lilly is a sweet young girl of 2-3 years. Upon coming into rescue we learned she had a dislocated hip. It appears she sustained this injury some time ago and her joint was very arthritic and sore. Lilly quickly underwent orthopedic surgery to remove her femoral head. Fibrous tissue forms in the area of the hip joint which prevents bone rubbing on bone. The muscles hold the hip in place. Lilly’s operated limb will be slightly shorter than prior to surgery, but this should not cause her any functional problems. Lilly is still in the process of recovering from her surgery and will be ready for adoption very soon. Lilly is a very sweet girl and enjoys lounging around the house or relaxing outside. She will do well in a home with kids of any age. She gets along well with her foster siblings. Lilly will need to be in a home without cats. Lilly is fully potty trained and working on her crate training.

Mia
Mia is a 4 year old sweetheart who is fully hearing. Sadly, Mia 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. Her injuries are all
healed up and hardly noticeable. She loves having her own warm bed in her indoor crate. 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 was Heartworm positive. Mia has completed her heartworm treatment and is ready for
adoption. Mia is housebroken and crate trained. This girl deserves a warm home & loving forever family.

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.”

She will need to be in a home without small children. Whisper is housebroken and crate trained. She rides very well in a car and enjoyed being able to stretch out and take a long nap.

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 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.

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.
