When I came to the shelter, I had a really bad skin infection and I had a lot of sores. No one came to claim me so now I am in a foster home where I was given pills every day and baths to help me heal. Most of the scabs from my sores are gone now and I feel much better.
This being in a house seems strange to me and I was really scared to go outside at first. I can’t do steps real well but there is a ramp here so I only have to take one step to get in and out. Now I like to go in and out with the other dogs and my foster mom. She tells me that I do need to learn to only potty outside so I am trying to figure that out but sometimes I use these blue and white sheets she lays down on the floor.
I do like it when people talk nice to me and I am learning not to run away when you reach to pet me. When it is time for me to eat, I get really excited and I jump around like a very happy dog.
My foster mom says she feels bad for me that I had a lot of litters of puppies. But I don’t have to worry about that any longer and she says I will soon learn that it is a great life to get attention from humans every day rather than just when I had puppies.
I haven’t met any cats since I have been here but I get along great with other dogs. I didn’t mind the children who gave me attention at adoption events but I am not sure how it would be to live with them all the time. Quiet and calm children probably wouldn’t bother me but thunder scares me so a loud and active household might also make me nervous. I would like someone to adopt me who will let me keep my blankie. I love to burrow under it when I take my naps and when I sleep at night!

Our adoption fee for dogs that are not seniors is $220. All dogs are spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccines and heartworm.
Our adoption process includes an application, personal and vet reference checks, and a home visit. We do not ship dogs under any circumstances.
We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check our front page for the dates of our next Pet Parade. Appointments outside of Pet Parade to visit our dogs are only available after an application has been filled out, and processing has begun.
Please be kind to our volunteers. E-mail inquiries will be answered much faster than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.
