Hi! I am Abigail!
Abigail is a 7 months old English Pointer Mix.
She is a real sweetheart. She has a wonderful personality, is very smart, learns her commands quickly and would make a great dog for just about anybody. She is playful, but not high energy and loves kids, cats and dogs! She may be just what you are looking for!
She loves going for walks and would make a great family dog and Hiking Companion.
Abigail would do best in a home, where she wouldn’t be left alone all day. She is extremely loyal and just loves being around “her people”.
She is spayed, housebroken, Crate trained and up to date with shots.
If you would like more Information on adopting Abigail, please contact Martina at Dita280@hotmail.com or 508 3836 |

Meet Honey Girl – a beautiful soul inside and out. The first half of her life has not been good – but this little girl is ready and very able to step forward into a loving life. Though she had “owners” she has been surviving on her own and it shows. She is thin, tattered, her coat is rough, and she was full of ticks. With a little TLC, good food and lots of love– this girl will be stunning. The light within her eyes has never gone out and is now getting stronger that she knows she is safe. Her gentle soul radiates from within. She has forgiven those who abandoned her and is awaiting a new adventure. We suspect she never lost hope and knows her forever home is out there – they will come. She is on her way to being the beautiful girl she is.
|
Honey is about 5-6 years old – a perfect age - and is soft and gentle and loves to watch the birds and butterflies – jumping light-heartedly in the air to see if she can catch them. She is very receptive and smart and slightly “pigeon-toed” – but she treads softly when moving and seems to glide effortlessly across the ground. She is already learning basic commands and sits and downs and eagerly seeks attention and takes treats gently from your hand. At first when going to pet her – her eyes would close and she would try not to flinch – her eagerness to just be loved kept her where she was. As time unfolds – she knows there will be no more smacks or kicks and is relaxing more and more. She has a beautiful smile and her grin will make your day. She will be a loyal and constant companion and is the perfect energy level. She is playful and her foster sees a funny sense of humor behind those beautiful brown eyes. If you are lucky – she will go choose a nice rock and lay it at your feet. She wags her tail even if you just look at her and it increases when you speak.
|
She appears to be housetrained and she is getting along good with the other dogs in the house – they will all be playing in no time is her foster’s guess. She LOVES car rides and is learning to walk on the leash. Cats are unknown. She is spayed and will be UTD on shots, heartworm tested, chipped and on preventative upon her adoption.
If you’d like more information on adopting Honey and want to hear her story – please contact Kristi at kledwards29@aol.com or call 980-7827. |

| Three of Nana's pups still available: |
Sable (left) & Dylan (right)
Dylan (Bob Dylan) & Sable (Mercury Sable) are like bookends, both are males and both are constantly hiding and ambushing each other. When they are not ambushing each other they are ganging up on Gracie, which never goes well….for Dylan & Sable! They are 12 weeks old now and they each have a wonderful playful personality. They enjoy playing with each other and any humans that wander into their realm. One of their favorite games is to chase one of our full grown male border collies around, (the adult BC acts “scared” for them), until he turns on them and barks them away. As soon as the adult quits barking, Dylan & Sable come charging back barking and chasing the adult all over again! They both are intelligent and inquisitive always exploring their world; fearless would be an excellent way to describe them. Both boys show more traits of an Aussie than a BC, taking more after their mother Nana. Both could be an excellent pair of working dogs if put together with an experienced dog to learn. Both are available for adoption separately, but to the right situation consideration will be given to adopt both Dylan and Sable to the same home!

| Scout
Howdy, I’m Scout and I am fearless! I was the runt of Nana’s litter, but don’t let that fool you about my personality. I am a HUGE Border collie personality in this little body! I answer to my name, I know how to sit and I am 90% house trained. I like to walk on a leash also. I prefer to sleep next to you my new life-buddy. I play a bit of fetch, but I also show my BC stubbornness when I play keep away with you. I’m not to excited about cats, but I have been around cats without incident. I just wish the cats wanted to play ambush as much as I do! I also love to ride in the car and sniff the air coming in through the window and see all the wonders passing by. I really like to ambush the big Rottweiler that I am living with at my foster home. When I finally get tired I just plop down wherever I am at and take a nap. I am estimated to be 16 weeks old now, but I still have my baby canine teeth, so I may be a bit younger. I think I would really like a home with another dog to play with, but I would be happy just being with my new lifetime buddy. Call Papaw Jack or Maw Maw Clair if you would like to meet me. I am eager to lick your face and show off my big dog bark! Woof!

Nana
I am a female Australian Sheppard mix about 1-2 years of age and my name is Nana. I came to my foster home with my six puppies, I was doing all I could to care for them and I was in rough shape. I am now doing much better, eating well and taking care of my pups. I am a good mother, but I am tired and need to rest and take care of myself for a while. I could certainly use a few more pounds on my frame, and would like to get my strength back.
My foster parents have been teaching me to walk on a leash, and I am getting better at something I probably have never done before. They tell me I always wear my white and ermine colored socks like a princess, what ever that is. I like them speaking to me softly, and scratching me behind my ears. I talk a lot with my ears, they stand up very pointy and straight when I listen to you, and I can turn them in different directions to listen for my pups or new food poured into my bowl! Watching my ears you can tell what I am saying!
My body size is small and I will not get any taller, but I hope to weigh more. I have increased from the 20 pounds I came in with and I have a great appetite. I really like powdered sugar donuts and fried liver!
My personality is a bit shy, but I do like being with people and warm up to new people quickly. I like to sleep on your feet while you take a nap, and I freely give kisses. With some training I might like to play fetch, or anything that would keep me busy and pleasing my person. Even though I have had to be on my own much of my life, I do care about my puppies and want them to have a better life than mine has been. So even if you were not interested in making me your next best friend would you consider giving one of pups a new lifetime home? They are good kids full of life and adventure; anyone of them can make you laugh and smile. Please make a good life for one of them!
Thank you, Nana. |
7/26/10: Nana update; She has made an excellent recovery and now weighs 39 pounds! Her pups have weaned and some are going out to new homes. Now Nana needs a lifetime home. She has been in to see the vet, and her age is only 12-16 months. She has been tested negative for heartworm, and has been spayed and is current on vaccinations. Now the good news, Nana is FULL of energy and has become very playful, even to the point her pack mate buddies get worn out! (They are young male border collies she is wearing out!) As with most Aussies Nana is far faster and quicker turning than her BC playmates. We have nicknamed her “Nana the magic bullet”. She is eager to please humans, and is learning a few commands and walking on a leash nicely. We believe she will make an excellent agility or fly ball dog. So if anyone out there has been thinking of getting a good candidate for one of these activities and an excellent companion would you please consider Nana? Nana has recently been tested with young mature children for an extended period and she is OUTSTANDING! So no issues with children! Pick Nana and we will explain how we chose her name, makes a good story!
If interested in Nana or any of her pups contact: Jack, hotfam1@q.com or 505-280-5599

Shep - Australian shepherd (purebred) male, 9 years old.
Shep had one owner from the age of 2 months until December when his owner moved out of state and left him behind in the care of someone who didn't want him. We took him in as a foster and he was soon adopted, but it wasn't the right match. And so now, 4 months later, he is more than ever in need of someone to give him some time, patience, love, and security.
Contact with Shep's original owner has given us more insight into his personality than we normally have with rescue dogs. This information makes us believe that current behavior problems (escaping yard + a couple of fights) are the result of trauma he has suffered by having his world shattered and resulting insecurity. We believe he is a wonderful dog who needs a person or 2 to give him some confidence that his world is not going to crash again tomorrow. That person needs to have a lot of time to spend with him and also a lot of experience and understanding. The right other dog or dogs would be good too as he does really like to play and does enjoy the company of other dogs.
We believe that the real Shep is a laidback kind of dog who enjoys hanging out with people, dogs, horses. I think he just needs to know that he has a family and a home and and they will still be there tomorrow. We want the right home for Shep now. The months go by and his life continues to be upheaveal and insecurity. We understand that many people are not in the position to be able to give him the time and understanding he needs, but we also know that the right person is out there, the one(s) who can help him and then will enjoy Shep for years to come.
