Comments: 

Winnie is a special dog who needs a very special forever home.  Winnie was found shot and left to die several months ago and it has been a long road to this point.  She has been one of the easiest fosters we have ever had in our home.  She is smart, willing to please and very sweet.  Winnie knows sit, down, give paw, stay and come.  She is extremely well-behaved and you hardly know she is in the house.  She loves to play in the yard, chasing small critters and birds and playing with smaller balls.  She would make an excellent running partner. 

Winnie needs someone with a gentle touch.  Only positive treatment with this one.  No harsh words – she does not deserve them.  You must be willing to have her as an only pet.  She is better on her own.  Please no small animals like cats or domestic rodents.  She has a high prey drive.  And she will not be happy if you bring in a new puppy. No small children, under the age of 14.   She wants all of your attention.  After what she has been through, she deserves all the love you can give.  You must also be willing to let her sit and sleep on a chair or couch of her choosing.    And she loves to spend time with you, watching tv or cooking supper or any time she can have.  

Winnie is house trained and crate trained.  She is vaccinated and micro-chipped.  She needs a securely fenced yard to play in but must be a house dog.  Winnie needs a stable home environment to flourish.  Patience and love will bring great rewards from this wonderful dog. 

Winnie still has bullet fragments in her tongue and nasal cavity and may develop infections in the future.  You must be willing to follow-up with your vet, if necessary. 

Adoption application, home check and adoption contract with special clauses apply.  Adoption fee for Winnie is $250.  We will provide copies of all her veterinary history.  We will check vet and personal references.

Comments: 

Anka is a sweet older gentleman in need of a quiet home and soft bed.  He is now adjusting to his foster home. 

Anka will need to be on pain meds the rest of his life.  As for the rest - just a warm, soft bed and a secure yard for sunning his old bones.
