Story
Lincoln is a sweet boy that seems eager to please. He is very strong and is still learning to not pull on the leash. He loves his walks and gets very excited once he sees his collar and leash. He is limited to easy, short walks as he is heartworm positive. Shortly after Lincoln arrived to his foster home, he seemed lethargic and wasn’t eating much. He did go to the ER to rule out anything serious. He spent the night and perked up a bit after IV fluids. He was still not eating well and would vomit almost daily so he saw our local vet. He had additional x-rays and bloodwork and was still a bit of a mystery. He was on a bland diet of only boiled turkey, eating frequent small meals throughout the day as anything else, or larger quantities caused him to vomit. The vet decided to do an endoscopy 12/23 to see if that would provide answers. It did! The scope showed large amounts of Helicobacter (H.pylori) throughout his stomach and biopsies were also done. He is currently on his third week of treatment with Pepcid AC and 2 antibiotics to help treat that. So far, so good! He is finally eating normal sized portions of turkey. The vet feels it may stem from allergies as there are certain proteins he will not even touch (salmon, whitefish) and others that have caused him to vomit (lamb, beef). Currently his foster prepares his meals fresh with ground turkey as we attempt to heal his gut and continue in the right direction. Lincoln is looking for a special home that will continue to help him thrive. He most likely will require to continue eating in this manner (a gently cooked or raw diet) as it is working. He also has a strong prey drive and is still double leashed on walks and in the foster’s yard. He fixates on the squirrels, deer, foxes, and wild turkeys. He does not bark and moves quickly and stealthily when he notices them. He is a great dog and very affectionate. He does not know the concept of personal space. He still needs additional training which the foster can start working on, now that he is finally feeling better. It will help determine what will be the best environment and lifestyle for Lincoln.

SPECIAL ADOPTER BENEFIT: A generous sponsor donated $475 in positive reinforcement training for Snowy. PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ AGE: Approaching 3 years ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 55 pounds KNOWN WITH DOGS: Snowy needs to be an only dog. He is not a fan of other dogs. KNOWN WITH CATS: Unknown. He seems curious about them. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Snowy is good with kids. KNOWN CUES: Sit, Paw, Wait. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: he is ok with a crate and is house trained, KNOWN LIKES: Exploring, walking, sniffing, stuffed toys and most of all belly rubs. KNOWN DISLIKES: Not a fan of other dogs with positive reinforcement he is improving SNOWY IS SEEKING A LIFELONG SNUGGLE PARTNER: Occupation: Full-time Cuddle Specialist Interests: Hugs, belly rubs, snacks, showing off his toys Snowy is the kind of dog who believes snuggling should be considered a competitive sport — and he’s going for gold. His signature move is the classic full-body lean, where he melts into you like warm butter on toast. He gives big, honest hugs and expects nothing more in return than a few scratches and maybe a compliment. When Snowy’s happy (which is often), he proudly parades around with a toy in his mouth, his whole backside wiggling like it has its own opinion. It’s nearly impossible not to grin when he does it. His Strengths: * Excellent house manners: house-trained, crate-trained, quiet, polite * Smart, food-motivated, knows a number of commands * Loves kids and is great in the car *Charming and unintentionally hilarious just by being himself His Hobbies: * Cuddling on any available human * Sunbathing * Enjoying enrichment games *Trotting around with toys * Greeting visitors like they’re there specifically to admire him Areas He’s Working On: Snowy is learning to walk past other dogs calmly. With treats and practice, he’s doing well. He prefers being the only pet — easier to keep all the attention that way. Ideal Match: Someone who enjoys a silly, snuggly dog with good manners and a big heart. He’ll do best in a suburban setting where dogs aren’t constantly popping up to say hello. If you want a cheerful, affectionate, goofy companion who gives world-class hugs and makes every day better, Snowy would love to meet you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Snowy is waiting!

Story
Zoey's previous foster shared that she is a loving golden retriever. She is very affectionate once she gets to know you. Zoey is always happy to sit and sleep right at your feet while you are home. She is house trained and if left alone will tirelessly look out the window waiting for your return. She walks well, but has a small prey drive. Someone has to keep those nosy squirrels from interrupting her owner's walk. She's always up to play games. You will know when she wants to play as she'll bring her tug-o-war rope to your chair or drop tennis balls on your lap for some quality fetch time. She is a bit of an alpha dog and plays well with some dogs but not others. With that being the case, we think she would do better as a solo dog in the home or a slow controlled introduction if there are other pets. Please let us know if you would like to meet Zoey A!
