Story

Hi! My name is Spike and I am from Missouri. From the foster: Spike is a very sweet & playful puppy who also loves to cuddle up next to you. He is learning all things puppy like potty training! Sometimes he needs redirection to not bite/chew and because of this small children may not be the best fit as those puppy teeth are sharp! He crates easily and does well in his crate overnight with little to no whimpering and no accidents. Spike loves to play with all the toys, including the ones that are bigger than he is. He gets along well with the resident dog. He is food motivated, so training should not be an issue.

Story

Hi! My name is Buffy and I am from Missouri. From the foster: Buffy is a true slayer of the heart! She will live up your life and snuggle right in to your arms. She can be a little hesitant to touch at first but once she knows you, she'll cuddle up. She loves sleeping in a dog bed right next to the human bed. She is mostly housetrained and he success mostly depends on the humans letting her out according to a schedule and noticing her cues. She loves playing with squeaky toys and slaying her brother Xander, who currently lives with her at her foster home. She is fine with cats, dogs and kids. Slow introductions to any resident pets would be important as Buffy is a bit wary of other animals at first. Once she has met them, she is comfortable. She loves to follow her human around the house and wants to be near you. She is currently doing well in our house with her brother Xander but would also be a great single dog.

Story

Hi, my name is Camilo. I am a local surrender. From the foster: Hi, I'm Camilo and I'd love to tell you a little bit about me! My absolute favorite thing to do is play fetch (except I bring it just a little bit away from you because you have to do some work too). I like long walks, especially in new places, though my almost perfect leash skills go out the window if there is too much to explore (I am working on it with my foster family though). I've got a ton of energy and love to run, jump, and play with my toys (but of course I don't touch anything I am not supposed to because I am a good boy), however, I also know when it is time to be an oversized lap dog and cuddle with you. I don't love food and it kind of bores me most of the time but I can definitely be persuaded with some really good treats (like liver or chicken, yum). It can get a little tricky when you want me to listen to you, but it also means I have no interest in eating anything random in your home or outside of it. I sleep in a kennel right now, which I don't love and I'd rather sleep in bed with you, but I still don't fuss about it. I do great in a kennel for longer periods of time, but my foster family leaves me out and I don't even try to get into anything. I just like to look out the window. I really love my people and once I trust you I will be your forever protector and best friend if you'll be mine. Camilo does have recurring allergies that will get pretty bad if you don't keep up with them, but planning with your vet and keeping it under control will make it seem like it isn't even an issue. He is also pretty anxious about new people and places and seems to have deep rooted trust issues surrounding things he isn't familiar with. We were given anxiety meds that we give him before the vet, but we haven't had to use them for anything else despite his many adventures with us. That being said, we have noticed that this lack of trust goes away significantly when he is with someone he knows and likes. If he trusts you, he will trust you all the way and if you are comfortable he is okay too as long as you're with him. He is a really, really good boy, just needs some training and someone who will have patience, work with him, and respect his feelings.

Story

Hi, I'm Alice! I'm a transfer from Missouri! From the foster: Alice is a shy girl who will sneak her way into your heart! She needs a little time to warm up to new people and doggo friends, but if she's given that, she will be frolicking and romping with other pups and giving you kisses in no time! Once you've passed her "are you safe" test, she's absolutely comfortable with you. It only took about 24 hours for her to feel safe with our resident pups (and now she LOVES to play chase with them!). She will reluctantly go in her kennel and tell the world how she feels about about for a while. We're seeing a little separation anxiety start up so we've started working on that with her. Shared walls probably won't be a good match for this sweetie. When we go outside, she LOVES to do the zoomies! Those are her two speeds, and she is pretty balanced between the two. She is even starting to (kind of) bring the ball back when she's not busy playing keep away with it from our resident pup. She loves her people and wants to hang out with you, and would much rather sleep with you overnight. We have seen a slipper or two "wander off" into her kennel, but if you keep those out of her reach it isn't an issue. She fought a mighty battle with the Roku remote, but luckily, the remote escaped with minor injuries and still functions. We're now working hard on chewing on "approved items," and she listens very well when you tell her what she has isn't approved. Even though she has a slight mischievous/curious side with exploring items with her mouth or exploring the "underground" with her diggy feet, she is very easily redirected. She perks up when kids interact with her, and has been patient with their pets when we've been able to introduce her to some. Cats are unknown, but she does chase the squirrels who have been brave enough to enter our yard. Alice is an absolute sweetheart, with a lot of love to give!

Story

Hi! My name is Chevy and I am from a shelter in Arkansas. Chevy is a gem of a dog! He is a very sweet, gentle, mellow, and happy pup. His tail never stops wagging! He loves all people and wants to say hello to every person and dog. He's incredibly curious about everything - he's always sniffing around, trying to find all the bugs, worms, and animals (dead or alive). He tries to eat all types of things that he finds on our walks, but if you just keep a close eye on him he shouldn't get into anything too bad. He is smart, learns things very quickly, and listens pretty well: he knows sit, down, come, leave it, and drop it, although he does choose to ignore these commands sometimes when he finds a particularly interesting object or animal on the ground. He is kennel and potty trained. He does well in his kennel over night and during the day when I'm at work. I've learned the hard way that because he's so naturally curious, he will get into anything that is sitting out at home, so it's best to keep him in a crate while you're out of the house. He gets along great with my resident dog who is normally always in his face, but he tolerates that really well. I think he'd love having another dog to play with, but he'd also be good for someone who just wants one dog as he loves his person. He also spent a weekend with a 13 and 8 year old and he did so well with them - he had so much fun playing! My favorite thing he does is when he wants pets, he will paw at you and scrunch up his nose in the cutest way. He's definitely not a wild or crazy pup, but he of course has bursts of puppy energy sometimes! But most of the time he'll just nap right next to you, which is his favorite place to be.

Story

Jack is an awesome dog! He's very smart, very high energy, and very lovable. He needs space to run around and be crazy but also needs a happy blanket to snuggle on. He's really a big, sweet dope of a boy. He gets along great with my 9 year old and takes a lot without ever getting upset with him. He loves company and enjoys being around people. He does shed though, so be aware that you'll be vacuuming every few days if that bothers you. The only trouble I have really is that he's kicking up my kid's asthma real bad and now that I can't keep the doors open for him to run and spend time outside all of that hair is just gathering up and making it impossible for my kid to breathe easy. I also took a new job that has me gone a lot which is making things hard on him too. He does not need a kennel and doesn't tear apart the house or anything when you're gone, he just lays around and waits like a good boy.

Story

A portion of Moana's s adoption fee has been sponsored by her friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $400.00 will be applied during the contract process Hi! My name is Moana and I am an owner surrender. This special needs beautiful little girl has made wonderful strides in the 2 months that I've had her. She's getting stronger bit by bit. She is personality plus! She loves to snuggle, loves to play and just gets sooo very excited when you talk to her, get down on the floor to play with her and if the big resident dogs are even just near her. She has a feisty side, too, and does not like to be left out of anything!! She is making great progress in potty training and she'll usually vocally alert you-day or night- when she has to go...but know that she'll still have some accidents. At this point, she doesn't have the coordination to be upright to eat on her own so I still hold her securely in my lap to feed her several small meals a day and also to keep her hydrated (I soak her kibble and still give her some soft food. She will not drink straight water so we are still working on that and by soaking her kibble, it flavors the water and she'll drink it to get to the kibble.) She loves all people and dogs. She hasn't had contact with cats yet that I know of. She'll need flat, safe surfaces when she's in her wheels. She does best on carpets or rugs or grass when upright in her harness to practice balance, strength and walking. She'll need to continue strengthening her muscles and working on her balance. At this point, she cannot get up from the floor on her own. Once she's on her side, she can only move around by scratching/shuffling. She does great for car rides. She sleeps nicely in her soft sided kennel at night, only alerting me by whimpering once or twice per night that she has to go out to potty. She is one of the happiest pups that I've ever fostered and will give her forever family sooooo much love!! From the vet team: Hello! I arrived at Secondhand Hounds as part of the Fighter Fund program due to my Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) diagnosis. CH is a condition resulting from inadequate development of the cerebellum which causes lack of balance/coordination, ambulating, head bobbing, tremors, etc. The SHH Vet Team has provided my foster with physical therapy exercises to help gain strength but I will always have this condition. I have a wheel chair and a harness to help with movement but it is also recommended that my future adopter lay down rubber mats to help with my movement. My future adopter should understand my condition and monitor my health with a primary veterinarian. Also, I have an upcoming surgery with an opthamologist due to ablation of eyelashes which will freeze and kill the hair follicles to help prevent regrowth of these abnormal hairs. This surgery and eye recheck appointment will be covered by SHH as long as it is performed at Animal Eye Speciality Center/Secondhand Hounds Vet Center.

Story

Hi! My name is Marmaduke and I am from Missouri. From the foster: The name is not fitting for this little guy. Marmaduke is a shy little guy but comes out of his shell once he gets to know you. Great cuddler and lap dog. Loves to watch tv. Marmaduke is not sure about how to play yet but is getting there. He likes to follow his buddy resident dog around and is learning good habits. He is good in a crate and sleeps through the night. Would be a great apartment dog he barely makes a sound. Because of his shyness, I would suggest a household with adults and or older children. He is great with other dogs.
