[Picture] 10/6/2008   [08-Cali]   Cali
Labrador Retriever/Australian Shepherd,  black/white,  Female spayed,  2 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Cali's owners found her as a stray wandering down a country road; lost and hungry. They brought her into their lives for a short period but then had to move themselves and Cali now finds herself looking again for that forever home. This girl is very shy and timid at first meeting which makes us wonder about her past; she warms up quickly though and then LOOK OUT! (o: Cali LOVES to cuddle and if allowed will sleep in your lap for hours. If she isn't expressly invited she will slowly creep and slither until she's in your lap. She adores having doggie friends to play with and we do not feel she will enjoy a home where she is the only dog. Here's a definite plus, Cali doesn't bark - we have not heard a sound out of her, not a peep. She knows "sit" and "come" and is very good on a leash. Loves to ride in the car and loves to play and play....she doesn't even need a toy, just wants to run around and jump with her people or another dog. Cali is housebroke, spayed, up to date on shots, wormed, and microchipped. Overall she is just the sweetest dog you could ever meet - wants nothing more than to be loved and love you. If asked she will gently jump onto your shoulders, wrap you in her paws and give you a hug. It doesn't get any better than that!

Boxer,  brown/white,  Female spayed,  3 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Emma's family was moving and could not take her along so a friend took her and asked us to help find this cutie a new forever home. This beautiful, shy girl was raised with lots of dogs, cats, birds and children and she does well with all of them. She is a bit shy when you first meet her but then warms up easily. Emma is so precious and so very sweet; we love her ears and liquid brown eyes! She walks well on a leash, takes treats ever so gently from your hand, knows the commands "sit", "stay", "down" and "heel", loves to cuddle, is great with other dogs and cats and has mastered the doggie door at the foster home. Will be spayed on 10/10, housebroke, up to date on shots and microchipped. How could anyone in this world resist a face like that?? If you adore this breed, you will fall head over heels for this beauty!

Labrador Retriever/Australian Shepherd,  black/white,  Male neutered,  7 Mo  
STRAY:
Mr. Quigley was found running around at the elementary school playground, entertaining the children. Hauled off to doggy jail, no one claimed this very sweet boy. We posted his bail and he is now living happily in foster care, awaiting his new forever home. Quigley has a gorgeous bushy tail and about the cutest ear set we have seen. On top of that, this boy is SO intelligent - what a blast to train as he catchs on immediately and retains what you teach him. Quigley has the charm too . . . everyone he meets, he leans into them and snuggles always getting an "Awwwww" from whomever is lucky enough to be holding him. Perfect medium sized dog weighing in at 43 lbs, our vetreinarian does not believe he will get much bigger. For a young fella, his resume is pretty full . . . housebroke, neutered, microchiopped, up to date on shots, wormed, knows sit, down and wait plus has the dog door mastered. This boy is an absolutely fabulous dog and he isn't even mature yet! Do NOT miss out on this one!
[Picture] 9/17/2008   [08-Sarah]   Sarah
Mixed,  brindle/white,  Female spayed,  2 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: OK, we will admit it - we cannot figure out what breed this girl is . . . doesn't happen very often that we're stumped but Sarah has us scratching our heads! We do know there is herding breed in there somewhere - maybe Australian Shepherd or Border Collie. What we can tell you is that with her brindle and white coloring, she is drop dead gorgeous! Sarah's owner got a new job and was leaving her alone for 6 days of the week. She was being fed by family but had no companionship during that time - Sarah had the house to herself with a dog door out into a fenced yard but that was the extent of her day. Her foster home reports that she is an absolute love; so starved for attention and affection. When she sits on your lap, she wiggles and squirms and just cannot contain herself! Sarah is a dominant female and is learning that sharing can be a good thing. She loves to play with the other dogs and is good with the cats in the home. Sarah has been alone for so long, she is getting a refresher course in Doggy House Manners 101 like no counter surfing and you can't get into the garbage whenever you feel like it! She is incredibly smart, highly energetic and a quick study. Housebroke, spayed, microchipped and up to date on shots - Sarah's beauty sparkles not only on the outside but from inside as well. Please add this "gem" to your family as a forever friend!
[Picture] 9/4/2008   [08-Ki]   Ki
German Shepherd X,  black/tan/white,  Female,  4 months  
STRAY:
***THIS IS A COURTESY LISTING! PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFORMATION BELOW!*** Ki has had a hard 4 months of life so far. First she was a stray, then she spent 3 weeks at a local animal shelter because they thought she had mange which she did not. Lucky for her that some kind people rescued her and she is now looking for her forever home! Ki is very sweet and a loyal little girl. She looks mostly like a German Shepard but has a little something else thrown in - one ear is all the way up and the other one is starting to stand, gives her such an adorable look! This sweetie loves other dogs, does super with cats and will follow you where ever you go. Ki will be spayed soon and is current on all of her shots. Housebroke but does have an accident every now and then, getting better! Ki is energetic but not hyper. She's perfectly content playing with you or other dogs. Talks sometimes especially after being outside for a while but does not bark very much. Ki loves rawhide bones, gives big wet kisses, is very submissive and rolls over on her back when meeting a new dog. The pictures don't reflect how cute she really is but she's too busy for a camera shoot. Call Ellen at 698-4661 for more details on this perfect little girl!
[Picture] 9/2/2008   [08-TJ]   TJ
Pomeranian,  sable,  Male neutered,  9 yrs.  
OWNER TURN IN: Alright, load this little fella into a "cute meter" and it would go off the scale! OH MY GOODNESS! Look at that face, the beaufitul coat and those sparkling eyes . . . an adorable 6 lb. bundle of fur! TJ may be 9 years young, but he still acts like a puppy and is in great health. He was recently neutered, had 9 teeth pulled and a tiny cyst removed from his back but those were just minor issues and he has come out of that surgery with flying colors. TJ did have us very concerned at first as he was all growls and nipping but we believe it was the trauma from both leaving his home and having the surgery. With each passing day, he is acting happier, more playful and the growling is subsiding although he still "play growls" with a toy. TJ is warming up to the smaller dogs in the foster home and seems to be getting along better with them. His new home will have NO young children but cats are fine as he grew up with them. Very active, happy little guy who seems to be blossoming before our very eyes. Small dogs always cause quite a stir when we put them up for adoption and we are sure that TJ will not disappoint.
[Picture] 8/26/2008   [08-Buck2]   Buck
Yellow Lab/Hound X,  yellow,  Male neutered,  Young Adult  
OWNER TURN IN: Buck's story is a common one . . . got him as a giveaway pup. Had him in the house, then he started getting too big for the house so he went out in a pen. Got bored in the pen so started climbing out so had to put a chain on him in the pen . . . finally . . . can't keep him anymore. Buck is half brother to Truman - same hound momma but yellow lab for a daddy. He looks like a yellow lab until you get to his head and then he is all hound - voice and all! Honestly, when you look at him you just have to think of "Ole Yeller". Buck is at an age where he remains a puppy in a dog's body - so joyful he can hardly contain himself, sweet and affectionate. The foster home is teaching him basic obedience and he will need to continue his training with his new owner. Buck LOVES other dogs and will play until they call a time out - gets along well with the 2 cats in the foster home. He was very curious at first but has learned they don't like to play with him so much. Go figure! This boy shows absolutely no aggression whatsoever - he is a fun dog (can you say clown?) who will only get better and better as he matures. Neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, housebroke, crate trained and LOVES to go on car rides! Buck will give you lots of love and laughs while you watch him mature into a wonderful dog! We guarantee it!
[Picture] 8/26/2008   [08-Truman]   Truman
German Shepherd/Hound X,  black/tan,  Male neutered,  Young Adult  
OWNER TURN IN: Truman's human momma got cancer and has been so sick with her chemo treatments, she just hasn't been able to take care of this boy as she should. So sad how this horrible disease can effect all in it's path. This gorgeous dog was raised in a loving home and it shows - he is a big, squishy ol' love bug! Believe it or not, he is from the same litter of pups as our other dog, Buck, but they have different daddies. (Yup, their momma was a "busy" girl! (o:) Truman is so much fun! He loves to romp around in that big galoot kind of way, give you kisses, loves to chase laser lights, knows sit and minds very well. Of course, he is still a pup but you can just see the intelligence in those eyes and all he wants to do is to please his owner. Growing up as an only dog, he has discovered that it is a BLAST to play with others of his kind - Valencia and Corona are his "girls". Not a malicious bone in this boy's body and very trainable. Never been around cats and would be good with children but perhaps older kids who won't get knocked over. Housebroke, up to date on shots, microchipped and will be neutered before adoption . . . Truman is beautiful not only on the outside but in heart and soul as well. To quote his namesake, President Truman said: "Children and dogs are as necessary to the welfare of the country as Wall Street and the railroads." So be a good American and adopt Truman!
[Picture] 7/31/2008   [08-Corona]   Corona
Border Collie/Blue Heeler,  black/white,  Female,  5 Mo  
OWNER TURN IN: Corona & Valencia came to us together as their family had to move and their new place would not accept pets. Corona was rescued by this family as a stray running down a country road. This girl is vivacious and energetic. She embraces life with gusto and intelligence - truly wants to please and responds well to training. Gets along well with other dogs although she feels it is her job to "heel" all of them as they run around her. Good with cats and would do best with older children as she may knock over a toddler. Corona is a liquor . . .er . . . we mean a "licker" - gives lots and lots of kisses. She may need a brush up on her house manners but she is an easy study. Will be spayed, up to date on shots and microchipped upon adoption. An incredibly sweet girl - isn't it about time you had a Corona?? (lime not included) Foster home update: Corona is so sweet she is giving us cavities! Very gentle and sensitive; think someone may have been harsh with her as you look at her cross eyed and she is hitting the deck. Incredibly submissive with other dogs and people in general. Her pink tongue is in constant motion - she has the fastest tongue in the West! So intelligent, fun to train and a just a doll to be around!
[Picture] 7/8/2008   [08-Fancy]   Fancy
Australian Shepherd X,  Black/Tan/White,  Female spayed,  3 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Fancy is learning that "life" can get in the way of a lot of things especially your happy home. Due to changing circumstances with her humans, Fancy went from beloved pet to a sweet girl looking for a new family to call her own. Fancy is very easy going and energetic - she gets along fabulously with the other 6 dogs in her foster home, showing no aggression whatsoever. Definitely not an alpha dog - also gets along great with the cats in the household. Fancy loves her people and the attention they lavish on her. She will ask for attention by nosing you but is not obnoxious about it. She is also hoping to see her waistline soon (a wish many of us share) and is dieting to lose some of her excess weight. Fancy has a strong herding instinct and can be assertive with livestock - she knows basic obedience commands, does well on a leash and LOVES to ride in cars. Housebroke, crate trained, spayed, microchipped and up to date on shots - this girl is way to wonderful of a companion to NOT include in your life! Coming to your home soon! Foster home update: This dog has it all. She is sweet, friendly, and does wonderful with kids. Fancy continues to do great with other dogs and cats. She also has gone riding with horses and did very well even though still wants to herd them when they are inside the corral - she does NOT do this when out with them. She is very intelligent, wants to please, and is so affectionate and easy going. She loves to go for care rides - Fancy can go everywhere you want to take her. This is a great all around balanced dog!
[Picture] 5/8/2008   [08-Pippin]   Pippin
Rottweiler/Shepherd,  black/tan,  Male neutered,  1 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Look at that mug! This poor fella began his life on a chain but we have promised Pippin that will NEVER happen again. This boy has come a long way since he arrived in his foster home. He is housetrained, crate trained, and has become a couch potato in the house. Pippin loves to cuddle with his people on the floor, couch, and/or bed and continues to learn basic obedience/commands. Is doing great with six other dogs in his foster home as well as both cats. Pippin does not like to be left alone; he becomes stressed and has a tendency to bark particularly outside when he is left alone. (This is probably due to his originally being chained outside all the time before be was surrendered.) He really needs to have a doggy companion to rough house and feel connected to when his people are gone. Pippin would be great for a companion to run, bike, hike and go anywhere and everywhere with. He does not have an aggressive bone in his body. A home with a secure, loving, nonchaotic environment would be best for this boy. Pippin is a GREAT dog. He will require a home that is knowledgeable of dog behavior, able to set boundaries, maintain a schedule, and has time to spend with this beautiful, worthwhile companion. Foster home update: Pippin has really matured! In addition, he has become a beautiful dog and is now at proper weight and muscle mass. He remains sweet and friendly. Likes everyone, does well with kids, cats, and other dogs. This sweetie is affectionate and loves being your best bud. He has the energy and youth to really be a great companion dog and bond deeply with a committed person/family. He has been doing very well with his basic obedience! Must have another buddy to play with - would not do well as an only dog. Pippin is too social!
[Picture] 3/14/2008   [08-Boomer]   Boomer
Doberman X,  tri,  Male neutered,  2 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Do some of you remember the litter of Doberman mix puppies we had almost two years ago that we placed? Well, here is Boomer all grown up! His family will be building a home and have no where to keep this boy during the construction so they have asked us to find him a new family. Boomer has grown into a beautiful boy; gorgeous markings, happy, very smart, loves attention, hardly ever barks. He loves being outdoors with his owners, knows how to use a dog door, knows sit, shake, down and gives hugs! Boom has never been around cats so that is a question mark but he is good with kids and is very submissive with other dogs. Just a handsome, happy go lucky fella! Of course, Boomer is neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. We are sad that this sweet boy has come back into the RHS fold but happy that we can assist him in finding his new forever home!
[Picture] 3/5/2008   [08-Gideon]   Gideon
German Shortaired Pointer,  liver/white,  Male neutered,  9 yrs.  
OWNER TURN IN: Oh yes, there is lots of "frosting" on that face but don't let that fool you, Gideon keeps up with the 2 year old dogs in the foster home! His family was moving out of the country and he will not be making the trip. We didn't want to see Gideon making any other "trips", if you know what we mean, so he came into the RHS family and is as happy as a clam! He was rather corpulent when he waddled through our door - 85 lbs. and approx. 10 lbs. overweight! Now, with some diet food and tons of exercise, he has a waist and tons of energy! Gideon has hunted and loves seeking bunnies at his foster home; he has tons of drive and lots of heart! Gets along great with other dogs but he probably wouldn't mind being someone's "numero uno". Couch potato that loves to be snuggled and rubbed and loved on. Will pick up his food bowl and bring it to you - loves to carry anything around in his mouth and will retrieve on command. Like all seniors, his resume is complete - housebroke, crate trained, up to date on shots, microchipped. Gideon's foster parents say it would be just super for this boy if a new forever home can be found but, if not, he has a safe, loving place to live out the many years he has left.
