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.
