Bee Bee - 70092


Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 2 people

Name: Bee Bee  Code Number: 70092  Date Available: 11/11/2008   Adoption Fee: $85

Breed: Maltese/Not Specified     Pattern: White     Color: White/Tan

Gender: Female     Age:   9 Yr     Weight: 15 lbs.     Location: Foster -


Bee Bee is a very sweet girl who wants a quiet home to be in. She will need to be an inside dog and have limited walks. She only has three legs so she gets tired easily. A med consult is included with her adoption to explain her condition. She has lived with dogs and children and loves them, but her new friends will have to be careful not to fall on her. She is a loving girl who wants a couch to be on or a warm lap.
 

Bosco - 65467


Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 1 person

Name: Bosco  Code Number: 65467  Date Available: 9/12/2008   Adoption Fee: $150

Breed: Labrador/Mix     Pattern: Chocolate     Color: Chocolate/Not Specified

Gender: Male     Age:   6 Yr, 4 Mo     Weight: 71.4375 lbs.     Location: Foster -


Bosco is a loyal, well behaved love bug of a dog. He's well adjusted, knows basic commands (sit, stay, down), is potty trained and walks well on a leash. He gets along with other dogs, but is possessive of his ball or toys. He LOVES to play fetch and he LOVES the spray from a hose. Both you and he will get wet! He is not an overly athletic dog, but LOVES to go for walks and while in foster care he has walked as far as 3 miles. When he gets home from a walk he just wants to lie down in his pool and relax. He is afraid of gunshot noises, so he would not make a good hunting dog. Bosco is fine when left alone and is excited to greet you when you get back. He does not like cats and will not be adopted to a home with cats or other small animals. Bosco can be mouthy when playing, so a home with older children would be best. Bosco is a healthy and happy dog except for his Cushing's disease which was discovered by the OHS medical team. His condition is now managed and he is ready to find his forever home. Cushing's is a condition in which the adrenal gland creates too many steroids, and once diagnosed, Cushing's is very easily treated; Bosco takes a pill every other day. This boy has been in our care for a long time, and is looking forward to finding a permanent place, with room for a baby pool and a new best friend who knows how to throw a tennis ball.
 

Chico - 38680


Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 1 person

Name: Chico  Code Number: 38680  Date Available: 9/22/2008   Adoption Fee: $85

Breed: Siberian Husky/Mix     Pattern: Cream     Color: Cream/Brown

Gender: Male     Age:   5 Yr, 2 Mo     Weight: 71.0625 lbs.     Location: Protective Custody - Dog - 2


Chico is a sweet boy who will need time to adjust to a new home. He is a little independent at first but warms up quickly. A home with older children is a must, as he is not tolerant to over handling. Chico is one of our special needs dogs - a medical consultation is included with his adoption. A home free from cats is a must - and in fact, he may want to be the only dog as well. Chico's previous owner reports that he is crate trained, although he might need a bit of a refresher course. If you have a quiet home where you are looking for a constant companion - Chico might be the dog for you!
 

Lucy - 48060


Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 2 people

Name: Lucy  Code Number: 48060  Date Available: 10/24/2008   Adoption Fee: $55

Breed: German Shepherd/Labrador     Pattern: Red     Color: Red/White

Gender: Female     Age:   7 Yr, 8 Mo     Weight: 60 lbs.     Location: Behavior -


Lucy is looking for a quiet home with an adult who can be her companion, someone to spoil her and give her the TLC she deserves. She needs to be inside the home and she will need some time to adjust. Lucy had a sad past. She was chained up outside for many years and was not looking her best when she came to us. Her coat is now in much better shape and she has come a long way with her behavior. Because of her situation, Lucy grew up without much "Life" experience and she is scared in new situations. She needs someone with time and patience and preferably someone who is familiar with breeds who have a tendency to be protective of the home. She will bark at visitors and should be in an adult-only situation. Lucy did have another dog in the yard but she was very bossy and probably needs to be the only pet. A behavior consultation is included in Lucy's adoption to discuss her special needs, but she is a truly lovely dog with a world of potential for the right person to enjoy.
