She has been spayed, is up-to-date on vetting, and is on monthly heartworm prevention. Daisy is not comfortable with a leash yet, so she would need some leash work if you plan to take her for walks. Once she is integrated into the family, Daisy likely would stay right beside her family without a leash. She is accustomed to having a fenced yard, so that would be an advantage in her new home. Daisy has been spayed, and is up to date on all vetting. She is on monthly heartworm prevention.

Breed: Boxer/Labrador Retriever Mix
Gender: Female

What a happy, fun-loving girl who's just waiting to share all that happiness with her new family. She would no doubt do well with calm, gentle children, and would love to be involved in all the many things that families do. Punkin is an intelligent girl who will learn quickly, and would excel in training. Punkin is too young to be left at home alone for many hours, and would be best suited for a home where someone will be able to spend lots of time with training and continued socialization, and where she will not be left along for extended periods of time.

Look for Sophie to be first in line with nose kisses and tail wags to lay out the welcome mat for a meet and greet. Picture yourself being loved by a 60 pound lap dog. Sophie loves to cuddle and is content to be a couch potato if that is your pleasure. She adores children of all ages, enjoying day to day family life with all its ups and downs. Sophie’s quite the playful girl and finds squeaky toys particularly amusing. We think she wants to bring the toys to life. She really enjoys a good game of tug if you initiate the game (she might even let you win!) The lucky person who adopts Sophie will find their new family member to be an extremely loyal and devoted companion, ready for anything from agility to rally-o, hiking and biking, or just cuddling on the couch.

He gets along well with other dogs, and would no doubt do well with cats, too. Because Joey is so young and still has so much to learn about being the best dog he can be, Joey should go to a home with someone who is not gone for long periods of time during the day and who can teach him lots of great things.

Now don’t go telling Trudy that she’s different, she never used four legs and doesn’t see what all the fuss is about. This agile girl can take on a set of stairs or run with the best of them. It’s not just her physique that makes her special. Trudy is, without question, one of the most spectacular dogs her foster mom has ever known. She has an uncanny wisdom and an aura of “humanness” to her sprit. Trudy is beautiful in every sense of the word. She has the looks, the intelligence and the personality of the finest of the species.

He enjoys playing with his foster siblings, and always plays nicely. He's a very good boy, and would be a wonderful addition to just about any family. Because he is so sweet and docile, he's not recommended for very young children as they may unintentionally hurt him or frighten him. A family with well-supervised children would be fine for him. He's a real "sweetie." Piper is up to date on all vetting, has been microchipped, and is waiting for his forever home. He is housetrained to a doggie door, and could easily be transitioned to a "potty" schedule.

Name: Jasper
Breed: Jack Russell (Parson Russell) Terrier mix
Gender: Male
Born: January 2006
Size: 13-15 pounds adult
Jasper is a handsome love-a-mug and quite the goofy character. Every dog has their special qualities, and Jasper is no exception. Remember Robert on Everybody Loves Raymond? Robert couldn’t eat without first touching food to his chin. Well, delightful Jasper can’t eat until he pokes his nose on the bottom of his food dish. With each bite, the nose goes bump, and in slides dinner! While many Jacks are bold and fearless, Jasper is almost bashful. He is appropriately submissive to dogs and people alike, but by no means afraid. Jasper adores romping with dogs of all sizes, and will joyfully play by himself if no one else is in the mood. Who needs television when Jasper is so entertaining! Jasper is an always bubbly and occasionally comical lad who would do well in a family with well-mannered children.

I like to play with my foster brother, and the other dogs in the household. I am learning not to potty in the house, and I do pretty well, I think. I sometimes forget though, because I am still a baby.I think if you meet me, you will love me and want to take me home, but that is just my opinion. I have been neutered and am up to date on my shots.Won't you give me a chance?

Love, Samson
