Story

NEED FOSTER HOME FOR ONE OF THE MIXED PUPPIES FROM KIKKI'S STAR WARS LITTER!! Meet Hera, a loving, energetic companion looking for a foster or forever home. Hera is a charming dog with a heart full of loyalty and affection. She can be shy upon initially meeting someone, but adapts quickly. Once comfortable, her playful spirit and boundless energy shine through. Hera enjoys walks and is currently building confidence on leash. She has been fostered in a multi-animal home and gets along with other dogs very well. She sometimes needs a reminder to give the cats some space. She is potty trained as well as crate trained although she can be anxious when left alone at times. A calm, male companion would be ideal for her. Her foster home is currently working on basic training, including some tricks. She is very smart but can be stubborn. You will need some creativity to keep her engaged while training. Several short sessions as opposed to a long one. If you are looking for a devoted friend who will bring joy and enthusiasm into your life, Hera might be a match. Her lovable personality would ensure her becoming a cherished part of your family!! She is very smart and needs an owner who will engage her brain: obedience, fast cat, agility. Prefer owners with some previous experience with dogs. She will be spayed prior to placement.

Story

My name is Westminster but my foster mom calls me Bubba. I'm a good boy! Even though I don't know all of the commands yet (working on it) I know 'sit,' 'stay' and 'step back' (that way my foster mom gets to go out of the door first). I walk nicely on my leash and rarely pull. Sometimes I do because I have to get to my pee-bush very quickly... or if I see a kitty or a bird... but I don't want to eat them... I'm just curious. My foster mom said that I will get a chance to meet the kitties in a little while to see how we like each other. I do stay in my crate when mom goes to work and I'm fine with it. I'm very much food motivated but I only eat my kibble with water... just my preference. I also get fresh food which I enjoy very much. Although I haven't found a toy that I like, I do have my very own ottoman at the window where I can sit and people/cat watch. Other than that I enjoy naps and snuggles, belly rubs and a cool floor to sploosh on. Check out this adorable video of Westminster enjoying some outside time when he was at the shelter: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DQF5d6zyH/?mibextid=wwXIfr Adoption fee: $525, includes all shots, sterilized, heartworm negative, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.
