Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 2 people

Name: Logan  Code Number: 12766  Date Available: 1/14/2012   Adoption Fee: $55

Breed: American Pit Bull     Pattern: Chocolate     Color: Chocolate/White

Gender: Male     Age:   8 Yr, 1 Mo     Weight: 71.3125 lbs.     Location: Dog Yellow Pod - 9


I have a video!! I'm Logan and I'm looking for a friend. A calm, confident person with a sense of humor who is playful, feeds me treats and throws the ball. Is that too much to ask? I don't need long walks, playtime is better and I really do enjoy having someone home alot. I would LOVE a large, securely fenced property so I can sniff and explore and of course, retrieve the ball. Sorry, but I am not as tolerant of younger children as I used to be so a home without them is necessary. I would love to share my tennis ball with you; would you share your heart with me? A training consultation is included prior to my adoption. I also come with tons of tennis balls, kongs, and a nice bed!

Taki - 50973


Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 2 people

Name: Taki  Code Number: 50973  Date Available: 1/13/2012   Adoption Fee: $55

Breed: Hound/Mix     Pattern: Tri Color     Color: Tri Color/Unknown

Gender: Female     Age:   5 Yr, 9 Mo     Weight: 64.3125 lbs.     Location: Protective Custody - Dog - 1


Hi there, Taki here, and boy, am I ready to start my new life! I'm not one to dwell on the negative, but I have had a rough few years, and am ready to put that in the past. Even though I'm a hound, I'm a very affectionate girl, and want a home with people who want to cuddle up with me. Don't get me wrong, I do love exploring the outside world too! I'm passed all that puppy craziness, and will just need some guidance to learn the rules of my new, hopefully forever, home. I get a little stressed around other dogs and may need to meet another canine a few times before deciding if I want to be friends. But if you are a dog experienced owner, and have a home free of young kids and cats, allow me to be your gift to yourself this year! A training consultation is included prior to my adoption. I also come with a crate, bed, a 1 hour post-adoption consultation, and a free swim session at Doggie Paddle!

The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip ID, collar and OHS I.D. tag, initial vaccines, one month pet insurance, courtesy veterinarian exam, and plenty of post adoption support!
 

Woody - 113706


Sponsor me! I'm sponsored by: 3 people

Name: Woody  Code Number: 113706  Date Available: 1/4/2012   Adoption Fee: $85

Breed: Beagle/Dalmatian     Pattern: White     Color: White/Black

Gender: Male     Age:   10 Yr, 6 Mo     Weight: 44.9 lbs.     Location: Dog Yellow Pod - 7


I have a video! Hi, I'm Woody and yes, I may be an older dog, but I would love to be your walking partner. It's healthy for both of us. I have been OK if left alone during the day but I want you home after work. I have been known to escape yards to explore if I don't get enough exercise or time with you. I also enjoy going for rides in the car and know how to sit and lie down when asked politely and rewarded with a treat. I cannot be around young or rowdy, boisterous children and will do best in an adult home or with older calm children who can understand my needs. I sure like the company of mellow dogs though. A training consult is included prior to my adoption to explain how best to help me get settled in your home. I also come with a crate, bed, toys, and a free grooming session with Erin Fogg Coats and Tails Dog Grooming.

The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip ID, collar and OHS I.D. tag, initial vaccines, one month pet insurance, courtesy veterinarian exam, and plenty of post adoption support!
