Basil

Beagle

Female, 4 yrs

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Basil is a very sweet, affectionate and playful gal. She came into our care when her family was seeing they were not meeting her needs. She enjoys a good lap to sit in, a yard to play in and receiving human attention. In her prior home, she was good with respectful children and other dogs. She does need a household that can keep her beagle genetics from getting her into trouble. She has a nose that will find an open trash can and will chew items like pens and stuffed animals. She is still getting settled into our care here, so we have not yet put her with another dog here. To keep her healthy, the veterinarian does recommend she received a doggy dental, scheduled to be done 12/31. A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Basil`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 Basil.

Fossil

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 3 mos

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Fossil originally came to CVHS with his canine family when his owner was moving and unable to take them along, he was adopted into a loving home, but after two months it was clear that he cannot live with cats.He is crate trained, and loves a good dog toy. He is familiar with children and dogs, and was good with them in his prior home. He cannot live with cats, or other small animals. Fossil does need an adopter who can continue working with him, keeping his brain in his head, as his nose can take him on an adventure. He is getting familiar with a harness here to help with his leash walking skills. His genetic make-up comes from a Beagle and a Yorkie, and he carries traits of both those breeds.Fossil is can be vocal and loud, especially when not getting the attention he thinks he deserves, so he needs a home that is not an apartment, or close to other homes.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Fossil`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 Fossil.

Dusty

Beagle

Male, 4 yrs 3 mos

East Montpelier, VT

Size

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

Details

Story

Dusty came to CVHS with his canine family, when his owner was moving and unable to take him along.True to his hound genetics, he can be a vocal boy, and will let you know when he`s ready for a walk, mealtime, or anything he feels you need to know. He is crate trained, and getting the hang of walking well on a leash. He has strong feelings about cats, and cannot live with any felines in his next home. He has a nose that likes to work, and loves to chew on a good toy. He has shown at CVHS, and in his prior home, to be selective with his canine friends, so he may need a home without other dogs. He was previously exposed to older children and did just fine. While with us, Dusty injured his ACL, so he has been on reduced exercise for over a month, and he is healing really well! He needs to go to a home where he can get plenty of exercise, but be contained enough to continue to heal. LOTS of sniffy walks and scent work will keep this boy happy and healthy.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Dusty`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 Dusty.

Nintendo

Bluetick Coonhound

Male, 2 yrs 1 mo

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Nintendo came to us when his previous owner had health concerns that significantly limited how much time and attention Nintendo was getting, and his young dog needs were not being met.Nintendo was very insecure when he first arrived, quite confused about the changes in his life, but recently he has started to show us what a friendly, funny guy he is! He lived with small dogs in his prior home, and was reported to be very playful with them. He hasn`t had the chance to meet any dogs his own size here yet but in the distance, he seems to not care too much of others presence or is unsure of a new canine friend. In his prior home he has only been around adults. He has recently met a family at CVHS and did not enjoy the presence of small children, so no kids or older children for him in his next home. He has never seen cats.Nintendo would probably do best in a relatively calm home, but with someone who can give him outlets for his energy, such as long sniffy walks, food puzzle boxes, and slow introductions to new life adventures. He does love the sound of his own voice, and can throw out a hearty hound bay, so apartment living won`t make sense for this guy.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Nintendo`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 Nintendo.

Jiminy Cricket

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 1 yr 3 mos

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Jiminy Cricket joined the CVHS crew when his size and energy level became too much for his owner`s mobility issues, and she knew he needed a home better suited to his needs.She told us he loves to play, and will even play fetch by himself, releasing a ball at the top of a hill, and chasing it as it rolls down! He knows his various toys by name, he likes playing in water (but not taking walks in the rain), enjoys a good snuggle, and loves to run, especially in a good game of chase with his dog friends.Cricket is learning to walk nicely on leash, but is still a bit of a puller, especially when he`d rather be playing in the new snow! He`s a very playful and friendly guy, and will do well in a home that recognizes his need for activity. He did spend time with kids under 10, but he`s still a bit jumpy, so any children in the family will need to be sturdy, as he`s still learning that four-on-the-floor is a better behavior. A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Jiminy Cricket`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 Jiminy Cricket.
