Bonnie - 75361


Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 4 people

Name: Bonnie  Code Number: 75361  Date Available: 7/20/2010   Adoption Fee: $35

Breed: German Shepherd/Mix     Pattern: Red     Color: Red/Not Specified

Gender: Female     Age:   14 Yr, 3 Mo     Weight: 46 lbs.     Location: Foster -


Bonnie is such a sweetheart! She is an older girl who still has a lot of life in her. She is pretty active for her age and will need regular walks. Bonnie is gentle and attentive and wants the people she is around to be happy. She grew up in the same home for 13 years so her adopters must give her plenty of time to adjust to a new family and home. Bonnie has a great history and it's noted that she is good with other dogs and cats and is housetrained. She knows her basic obedience commands and appears to be good with kids. Although Bonnie's profile indicates that she has a good history with children, we highly recommend that Bonnie not go home with young children due to her age. She will need a home with another canine companion because she is not use to being the only dog and becomes depressed without a friend to hangout with. This request might make it harder to find her a new home, but it is necessary to keep help happy and healthy. Bonnie is a great gal and deserves a retirement home where she will be loved.

Freckles is a sweet, smart, and tolerant girl who must be the only dog in her new home. She appears to have been well-socialized with people and seems to love everyone she meets! She will lean into you for pets, snuggle up close, and might even sit on your lap if you let her. Jogging, hiking, or agility are just some activities that she might enjoy. Because of Freckle's exuberance, we are recommending a home with older children. Freckles needs to be the only pet in her new home. Freckles walks well on leash using a front clip harness. A training consultation is included with her adoption to help you integrate Freckles into your home. The noise and activity at OHS have been overwhelming for Freckles but once she is out of her kennel she is the biggest sweetheart around. If you are looking for an athlete with a heart of gold, Freckles is the one! Ask to meet this amazing girl today!

Breed: Hound/German Shepherd     Pattern: Tan     Color: Tan/Black

Gender: Female     Age:   5 Yr, 6 Mo     Weight: 55 lbs.     Location: Dog Green Pod - 31


Hi there, I'm Gretta. I'm looking for my forever home with someone who understands that I need a lot of love and exercise and a little training. I get pretty worked up when I go on walks, because I'm just so excited. I'm definitely interested in anything and everything when I am out for a walk, but I also like quiet time with my human friend so that I can get some love. My new home would be perfect if my people gave me lots of exercise and helped me learn how to walk nicely on a leash. My friends at the shelter here are helping me learn to walk with a body harness. If you have another dog, a pet meet is required to make sure we get along. I would love the chance to be your loyal companion! A training consultation is included in my adoption. The adoption fee includes spay/neuter microchip ID, collar and I.D. tag, initial vaccines, one month pet insurance, courtesy veterinarian exam, and plenty of post adoption support!

Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 1 person

Breed: Rottweiler/Sharpei     Pattern: Black     Color: Black/Tan

Gender: Female     Age:   5 Yr     Weight: 106 lbs.     Location: Dog Yellow Pod - 6


Roxie is a fantastic girl who is sure to raise your spirits! She came to OHS because her previous owners were having a baby. Roxie is a special needs dog, as she has a neurological disorder that makes her a little uncoordinated. Because of this, Roxie will need a home without stairs as she is unable to climb them and will need access to a fully fenced yard. She will also do best in a home without children, as she is easily startled and does not like restraint or overhandling! Roxie has been around dogs and cats previously and has done well, but will need proper introductions to any other animals in the home. Roxie would love going for short walks and playing in the backyard. Medical and training consults are included in her adoption to discuss Roxie's special quirks The adoption fee includes spay/neuter microchip ID, collar and I.D. tag, initial vaccines, one month pet insurance, courtesy veterinarian exam, and plenty of post adoption support!
