Elfie

Husky

Female, 3 yrs 11 mos

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Do you KNOW and love the husky breeds? Are you a single-dog kind of person, with no desire for other animals in your life? Elfie could be the perfect dog for you! Husky experience, and love of the classic sassiness that the breed exemplifies, is a requirement for her next home. Elfie came to us when her prior home was not a good match for her because she is not good around other animals. She`s done well with humans, but this small package has a high prey drive, and should not be around other animals. She did not do well meeting other dogs in her prior home, and while with us she has also made it clear she does not want dog friends, so we are looking for a home where she can be the only animal.Elfie would do best with older kids (teenagers and up), and likes to cuddle, on her terms. She relaxes nicely in a crate, as long as there are no other animals around, and enjoys couch time getting belly rubs.Elfie is smart as a whip, and really enjoys learning new things with force-free training. She has a bit of the typical husky aloofness, but is also very attentive to the people she loves.A consultation with our Behavior Specialist is included in Elfie`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about her, and to determine if you should meet Elfie.

Valkyrie

Bluetick Coonhound

Female, 4 yrs 2 mos

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Valkyrie came to us when her family`s new living arrangement did not enable them to give her the life they believe she deserves, and they wanted more for their beloved pet.Valkyrie LOVES people, of all ages, and always wants to be in the midst of what whatever is going on. Small children are probably not a good choice for her, but only because her lack of body awareness could mean little ones getting knocked over. If they are sturdy, and dog-savvy, she`d be fine with them -- she LOVES kids. She likes playing tug-of-war, and a modified fetch where she plays keep-away, and she really loves to be chased. When she`s not actively playing, she loves to cuddle with people, and she really enjoys a cozy dog bed and plush toys. Valkyrie loves trail walks and hiking, but needs a little more work on her leash skills, and is responding very nicely to Positive Reinforcement, force-free training. If you love the song of the hounds, Valkyrie will happily sing for you.Valkyrie would prefer not to have big dogs around her. She was attacked a year ago by a larger dog, and since then has been uncertain around other dogs. She could probably have dogs friends that she is introduced to properly, and who are not rough. She was VERY interested in squirrels in her prior home, and will follow that hound nose wherever they go, so she either needs a fenced-in yard, or a human who will be aware on walks. She goes after cats persistently, with the wrong intentions, so she should NOT live with cats.Valkyrie sleeps well in a crate at night, and when home alone during the day she slept nicely in a bedroom. Valkyrie LOVES car rides, so is happy to go wherever your adventures take you! A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Valkyrie`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about her, and to determine if you should meet Valkyrie.

Navy

Boxer

Male, 5 yrs 2 mos

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Navy came with his housemate Sprout to CVHS when his family had major life challenges. Navy is very friendly, will jump to greet you, and possibly try to be in your skin. He loves car rides, attention from humans, and to run! He has previously lived with a child under 6 years old, but he`s a jumpy boy, so older kids in his new home would be best. He does great with pal Sprout but hasn`t made any other dog friends in a while. Navy cannot live with cats, as he will chase them, and not playfully. When his people were not around, he was confined to the kitchen and did well for a few hours at a time. He is not crate trained.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Navy`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Navy.

Toad

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 8 yrs

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Toad is a big boy with a big personality. He is looking for an owner who is active, and can give him the energy outlet that he needs. He is working with our staff on using a harness, as he is a big puller.He came to us through an Animal Control Officer, so we do not know a lot about his background. He did apparently live with another dog previously, but we have no information about how they felt about each other. In typical bully-breed style, Toad likes very physical play, but he`s not very good at reading how his playmate feels, so he needs humans to help him respond appropriately and take breaks. A tolerant and dog-savvy dog, with a similar play style and energy level, could possibly be a good roommate for Toad.Toad has a slightly elongated soft palate, which means he may sound wheezy when getting exercise, but our veterinarian feels corrective surgery is not necessary. He may need a little guidance from his human friends to slow down when he`s having fun and is go-go-go.Due to Toad being a bull in a china shop, he`s not recommended to go home with young children, and his body language when he has seen a cat through a window tells us he would not be the kind of friend cats hope for in a dog.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Toad`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Toad.

Bard

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Bard joined CVHS when his owner could no longer care for him. We are still getting to know Bard, and getting him settled into a routine with us.Bard has the beautiful coloring of a hound mix, and the fully developed nose of a hound, wanting to follow it everywhere! He LOVES sniffing around our yards, and finds trail walks to be a wonderful bounty of all the good smells. Bard also enjoys stretching his legs in a good run around our yards, so it would be great if he could find a home with a fenced-in yard. He`s learning to walk on a leash with the use of a harness, and he`s driven to follow his nose, so a casual sniffy walk is great. If you like to walk like you`re on a mission, it probably wouldn`t go so well with Bard.Past information is that Bard does not like other dogs, and we haven`t had a chance to work with him on that yet, but his reaction when he sees them leads us to believe he would be happiest as an only pet, and not need to experience other dogs around him. Bard does have some anxiety when left alone, so he`s looking for someone who would appreciate his constant companionship. If you are interested in learning scent work, enjoy leisurely sniffy walks in the woods, and have a yard where Bard can run, you could be the perfect match for this handsome hound!A consultation with our Behavior Specialist is included in Bard`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Bard.

Mistletoe

Pug

Female, 3 yrs 1 mo

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Mistletoe came to us when her family`s life changed, and they no longer had the time to meet her needs.Her previous owner reports that Mistletoe has done well with other dogs, cats, and young children. She`s very excited to meet new people, and dogs, and can be a bit jumpy and barky in her greetings, so young kids may not like her attention. She really loves people, and would appreciate a new home where she can be someone`s constant sidekick, has many opportunities to be active, as well as use her brain, because she is one smart cookie!Mistletoe loves being outdoors, and would be thrilled to have a yard she can play in, but isn`t thrilled with the colder temperatures, so she appreciates a cozy coat for her adventures around our yards and trails.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Mistletoe`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about her, and to determine if you should meet Mistletoe.
