Air Bud (DP-D-3843)

ADOPTED !

 

Hi, I'm Air Bud -- folks think I look like a golden retriever mix of the cutest variety! I'm four months old and weigh 23 pounds. And boy and I cute! I'm active and playful and like to run around and socialize with other dogs. And boy am I cute! I've got a great personality, and did I mention I'm cute? I'm still a young pup, so I'm going looking for a family with a stay-at-home person who will housebreak me and take me to puppy school so I learn my obedience. After all, cute only goes so far . . .

Bitsy is a small terrier mix girl, possibly part jack russell? A very cute girl! She carries herself around on short legs, about 15 pounds, and is estimated to be about 5 or 6 years old. Little Bitsy is a friendly little girl and likes to roll on her back for belly rubs. She is a typical terrier with fairly high energy. She loves her squeaky toys and to play ball and would love a yard to sun herself in and play fetch with you. Bitsy loves to go for long walks and heels on the leash. She needs a family that will give her plenty of exercise, but she also settles down nicely and likes to watch TV with you. She's well behaved in the home, housebroken, and has gone through a formal training program to learn all of her commands including sit, down, stay, leave it, off, heel, and watch me.

Bitsy lives in an active foster family with lots of people coming and going daily. She enjoys the attention, is good with children, and other friendly dogs. She needs a family that will be committed to reinforcing and furthering her training. If you're looking for a pint-sized new family member that will be forever grateful to be part of a loving family, Bitsy is waiting for you! You couldn't find a more deserving dog!

Bitsy's adoption fee of $275 includes: Vet exam, flea preventative, heartworm test, rabies vaccination, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and spaying.

6-9-09

Hi! My name is Boomer. I am 3-4 years old, and as you can see, I am a very handsome boy. I'm a mixed breed, most likely of hound heritage - though some say they see a touch of collie in me. I weigh 40 lbs. and am a good boy. I'm housebroken, good with kids and friendly with other dogs. I love to play and when I am tired I love to snuggle. I had my back leg amputated one year ago after I ran into the street and didn't look both ways, but I am doing great now. I can run faster than any of the dogs on my block. A nice lady took me home from a shelter to help me heal and get better. She works long hours and I get lonely being home alone, so I'm ready now to move on to my forever home. I like to be around people and spend time outside. I'm really hoping a family with a fenced-in backyard will adopt me. Please come meet me and I will show you how fast I can run!

My adoption fee of $275 includes: vet exam, negative heartworm test, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, microchip, deworming and neutering.

6-24-09

Good day, my name is Devlin. I'm a nice mix of -- beagle? lab? golden? -- take your pick. Just a nice little tan dog. Whatever I am, I'm a very nice boy just about 6 months old and 26 pounds, but likely still have some growing to do. I'm a happy-go-lucky fellow with a smile and tail wag for everyone I meet. I get along with other dogs and like to play too. I'm hoping to find my forever home with someone who won't leave me alone for very long hours and will take me to puppy school so I can be the best boy I can be. I'm very smart and will learn quickly. I'm new to this Adopt-A-Pet program, so I'll write more after I settle in a bit and get more comfortable.

My adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, negative heartworm test, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming and neutering.

4-3-09

Hey everybody, my name is Genevieve! I may be 2 years old, but I still have the heart of a puppy (sometimes I believe I'm one – I love to sit in laps!). I look like a shepherd-terrier mix and weigh 49 lbs. Playful, yes, but obedient ... and very trainable. I go obligingly into my crate and usually sleep there (even if the door is unlatched). Being fully housebroken, I can stay at home alone (with a bone to chew on) because I'm well-behaved indoors. Walks are my strong point, so it would be nice to have a yard to run in. I'd even consider jogging with you! I love kids, by the way. Come meet me -- I'll sit in your lap if you let me. You'll fall in love with my sweet (but stately) demeanor.

My adoption fee of $285 includes: vet exam, heartworm test, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and spaying.
5-26-09

Hank (JS-D-3781-R)

ADOPTED !

 

Hank is a 1-2 year old male yellow lab mix, weighing 43 lbs. He's a very sweet and friendly guy. He's got a positive outlook on life, tail always wagging a mile a minute. He gets along with other dogs nicely and is very playful. Though he is in a foster home without cats, he was reported to also love playing with the pound cat through the kennel door before we rescued him. Hank is housebroken and well behaved in the home.

Hank had a congenital hip anomaly when he came to us, and we gave him surgery to correct the condition. He is now 9 weeks post surgery and doing great. He now has a comfortable and functional hip, is back to normal activity level, and should have no further problems. He runs and plays at the dog park, goes on long walks, goes up and down stairs, and LOVES to play ball. Because he may still be a bit sensitive in that area during his recovery, Hank needs to find his home in a family without young children that may accidentally hurt him.

Hank's adoption fee of $290 includes: vet exam, heartworm test, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Mayday (SD-D-3827)

ADOPTED !

 

Mayday! Mayday! Mom and 7 puppies found wandering! Now in Adopt-A-Pet's safe care, and looking for their forever homes.

Mom looks like a small shepherd-terrier mix, what we like to call your "basic brown dog", a manageable 33 pounds, beautiful doe eyes, and is estimated to be about 1 1/2 years old. She's very mild mannered, sweet and friendly, good with other dogs. She enjoys attention and responds to affection. Much cuter in person - her photos don't do her justice.

Her foster mom says: If you are looking for a sweet, affectionate, loving and well behaved dog then look no further. This little girl is so well behaved that she doesn’t need to be crated. She doesn’t chew or bark. Mandy (aka Mayday!) is potty trained (she did bark at me once when she had to go), gets along with other dogs, wags her tail at kids & adults & walks well on leash (just tell her to sit while you take leash on or off). At night she sleeps on a dog bed and sleeps through the night. Mandy is such a good girl that she didn’t even touch two ¼ pounders w/cheese that I accidentally left on the sofa right by her spot. I came back five minutes later and she was sleeping with her back to the McDonald’s bag and the burgers were untouched! All Mandy need is someone who can shower her love & lots of attention. In return you’ll have a BFF.

Mayday's adoption fee of $290 includes: vet exam, negative heartworm test, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, microchip, deworming and spaying.

6-10-09

Tuesday (LMC-D-3829)

ADOPTED !

 

Tuesday is 10 week old little boy puppy. Mom (see Mayday!) is a 33 lb. german shepherd mix, and looks like dad was probably a beagle or hound mix. He's tan with black muzzle, a cute white stripe up his nose, a regal white chest and a little white tip on his tail! His soft and smooth coat will be low maintenance. Tuesday currently weighs 10 1/2 pounds, but of course has lots of growing to do. Because we cannot guarantee what size, shape or breed this pup will ultimately grow into, only those willing to take pot luck need apply!

Tuesday is handsome and sweet. He is curious, but likes to stay close to his family. He is playful, but not hyper. He is a beautiful, unique mix with lots of love to give. Because this pup is still very much a baby, he will need to go to a family with a stay-at-home person to attend to his housebreaking, training and socialization, and puppy school is a must.

Tuesday's adoption fee of $310 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, microchip, deworming and neutering.

6-10-09

Thursday (TMP-D-3831)

ADOPTED !

Thursday is 9-10 week old little boy puppy. Mom (see Mayday!) is a 33 lb. mixed breed, and looks like dad was probably a beagle. He's tan and white, and oh so cute! He's the smallest of his litter, currently weighing 8 1/2 pounds, but of course has lots of growing to do. Because we cannot guarantee what size, shape or breed this pup will ultimately grow into, only those willing to take pot luck need apply!

Because this pup is still very much a baby, he will need to go to a family with a stay-at-home person to attend to his housebreaking, training and socialization, and puppy school is a must.

Thursday's adoption fee of $310 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, microchip, deworming and neutering.

6-10-09

Need a new Girl Friday? Your new assistant will be a 10 week old little girl puppy. She and her siblings are unique puppies and are a nice mix. Mom (see Mayday!) is a 33 lb. shepherd type mixed breed, and looks like dad was likely a beagle or hound mix. Friday has soft, short fur that will not require much maintenance. She's mostly white, with tan ears and head patches and is a very pretty and striking little girl! She currently weighs 10 pounds, but of course has lots of growing to do. Because we cannot guarantee what size, shape or breed this pup will ultimately grow into, only those willing to take pot luck need apply!

This little sweetheart loves everyone and likes to have fun. She is active, but not hyper. A fenced yard is recommended for this playful girl. Because this pup is still very much a baby, she will need to go to a family with a stay-at-home person to attend to her housebreaking, training and socialization, and puppy school is a must.

Friday's adoption fee of $310 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, microchip, deworming and spaying.

Prancer (SF-D-3729)

6-23-09

6-23-09

6-23-09

Prancer is a very special dog looking for a very special family. Prancer is a gorgeous 2-3 year old mixed breed that looks like a collie, lab and husky all rolled into one. He is medium-sized, weighing 42 pounds. Prancer just loves every person he meets! He’s a beautiful dog with a sunny, sweet disposition. More often than not you will find him displaying his happy smile (see picture). He is extraordinary. You see, Prancer has a hereditary condition called Collie Eye Anomaly that left him severely sight impaired from birth - but that doesn’t stop him from being exuberant, happy and fun-loving. He adapts so rapidly and so well to new environments, you would never guess he had a vision problem!

Prancer has taken a special 8 week obedience program and is fluent in SIT, STAY and COME.

Prancer has a lot of energy and is generally well behaved. He is not a chewer or digger, he gets along with other dogs and ignores cats. He likes long walks, running around the yard and playing with another dog. What he really loves is to be loved and petted, soaking up what he missed the first few years of his life. On quiet evenings, he will be happy to lay relaxed by your feet (or in your lap!). He has a good heart and just wants to be with his person all the time.

A quiet home with a patient, experienced dog owner who can devote time to Prancer’s specialized training needs and provide a good deal of exercise to burn off that exuberant energy would be a perfect match. Though Prancer gets along with small children, they are not a good match because he tends to jump in his enthusiasm to greet people and loud, unexpected noises make him uneasy and distracted.
 

If you have room in your heart and home for this truly exceptional dog, you won't be disappointed.

Prancer's adoption fee of $175 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, heartworm test, DAPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination and tag, deworming, microchip and neutering.

5-2-09

5-2-09

Hi, I'm TaterTot but my foster mom likes to call me Gonzo. I'm a pint-sized Chihuahua weighing only 7 lbs. I'm a middle-aged or senior fellow, not sure exactly how old I am, but the vet thinks I'm at least 8 years old. Maybe a bit more, it's hard to tell. She said I had bad teeth, but I've heard that that's real common with my breed. I also have a little bit of hair loss which the vet is still trying to figure out why - she thinks it might be hormonal and now that I'm neutered it will get better. It doesn't bother me one bit, of course, but makes me look a tad scrappy. But my friendly personality makes me a very attractive little guy. I'm happy-go-lucky with a great disposition. I like people and I especially like their laps. I also get along with other pets. I'm a frisky, active fellow and love to play, but settle down nicely too. I would love to spend my golden years with someone who will give me lots of attention and love. Yes, I know I'm a "mature" dog, but I still have LOTS of Love to give. And THAT never gets old!

My adoption fee of $160 includes: a vet exam, negative heartworm test, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, negative fecal test, dental cleaning/extractions and neutering.

She is smart and has quickly learned to sit before getting the leash on for going out. She gets along with other dogs and is basically a complete honey of a dog, loves giving kisses, wants to sit on your lap to get love, and loves rope toys and tennis balls. All in all, she's a darling dog that would probably do well in most any type of household.

Because nobody knows what size, shape or breed I will ultimately grow into, you must be willing to be flexible and love me no matter what I grow up to be!

If one of my eyes looks a little funny in my pictures, it's because I had an operation on my right eye because my eyelashes were growing inward and making me very uncomfortable. But the nice vets at Adopt-A-Pet fixed me up and they tell me my eye should be looking back to normal in just a couple of weeks.

I love everyone and love to run and play. But I also like to cuddle. Because I'm still very much a baby, I'll need to go to a family with a stay-at-home person to attend to my housebreaking, training and socialization.
