Buffett is a great watch dog. He is crate-trained, housebroken and uses a dog-door.  He tends to be rather stand-offish and only comes for cuddling when it's mealtime but he will be devoted to his person.   He needs a lot of patience, but did amazingly well in his beginning obedience class. His new owner will need to be the alpha and to continue with his training and socialization.  It is best to keep him on a leash whenever new people are around, and we recommend he not go to a home where he will encounter children, either living there or visiting. Because he is so very protective of his person, he gets extremely agitated when noise is made, even in fun. He is great with women but wary of most men.  He seems not to like hats, facial hair, etc. honestly there are times when he seems not to recognize me when I have my glasses on my head!!  He rides calmly in the car, however he gets motion sick after about a half of an hour, and his foster mom has not yet found anything to help hi...read more about Buffett 1167

Hazel is a beautiful girl with a Collie-like head.  She will make you laugh every day with her exuberance.  She wiggles and has the biggest smile on her face 24/7 and also wants to be with you 24/7, but she has her quiet moments, too.  She definitely wants to please her people and because of her youth and energy, that needs to be considered by her adoptive family in order to keep her happy . She loves exercise, walking and playing. If you look her in the eye.. she turns her head as if to say, with a coy look back.. are you “really” talking to me?  She then smiles so cutely, you can’t help but hug her.  Hazel needs to be with a family that understands the balance of her coyness and energy.  Hazel will come on command and happily gives you that big sweet smile of hers.  Hazel can be "mouthy," so we will not place her with children under the age of 10.  While she gets along with other dogs, we think a home without any cats would be best.  She...read more about Hazel 1202

Buddy is a sweet high energy boy.  The problem is he was born with bad hips.  Right now he needs surgery to help him live a pain free life.  I wish each of you could meet him bevause he is so sweet.  He loves to cuddle, but also is a fierce warrier who will protect you from hairdryers and other loud noises. Donations for his surgery are needed and gladly accepted. First estimates for surgery (first hip alone) are about $1600. Buddy is not available for adoption until we are certain he is 100% healthy!

Maggie was a stray for over 9 years. She was fed by hand occasionally, but never got to the point where she would relax and accept a loving touch. She has come so far with her first foster home.  She now follows her humans around, walks well on leash, and barks for attention.  She seems to enjoy being an indoor dog and we know she has a long road of learning ahead of her. Maggie has very unique colorings.  She is a Sable Merle so there is some gray in her coat as well as one blue eye. We will be keeping her in foster care until we are confident she will be a good pet and not a flight risk. Donations are gladly accepted for her long term care.  We thank those who personally knew her and have helped with her care so far! Another Maggie video> http://youtu.be/E4VuV1zUGBU
