WILL YOU GIVE WHITEY A HOME?
Whitey is a little less than 1 year old. He weighs 9lbs.He is neutered and current on shots.He has tested negative for FIV and leukemia.Whitey is very good with other cats but hasn't been exposed to dogs. He has been in the company of kids 6years old and older and he is good with that age group.. Whitey is sweet ,affectionate,playful, and mischievous. He sounds like a terrific cat to be around. He is not declawed and his foster mom will only release him to owners who will not declaw him. She is giving him up because she has too many animals in a small apt. The foster family has taken very good care of Whitey, a former stray, and although good with other cats, they think Whitey would do best as an only pet. ________________________________________________________
SAMMY NEEDS A NEW HOME
LLASA APSO 8 years old ;15lbs. Neutered, current shots and housebroken; good with some dogs , not good with cats, NOT GOOD WITH KIDS.Sammy would be a wonderful companion if new owners would be willing to be patient and understanding of his faults. He is usually mild-mannered, loving , and likes to be with people. However, when he is put into a defensive position , he will bite. He will get aggressive when someone will try to move him from a certain position, or if he is disturbed at feeding time. There are kids at his present home and it is not a good situation. Sammy would probably be content in a quiet home where people will spend a lot of time with him. He doesn't like to be alone. Sammy will be temperment tested before going into a new home so new owners will know how to handle any of his issues. ________________________________________________________
HOMELESS FAMILY IN URGENT NEED OF FOSTERS FOR THEIR TWO DOGS
The following paragraphs are written by the dogs' owner
This is Bristol . He is a German Shepherd/beagle mix. He weighs 42 lbs and is full grown. Although we were told he was three, we believe him to be closer to 6. He is a very quiet, sweet, loyal and stress free dog. We adopted him from wet nose.com last year. He was believed to have run away from an abusive situation and was found in a Wal-mart in Bristol , PA. We had to work with him a lot to get him to come back to life. Now he is an AMAZING addition to our family. He will be by your side no matter where you are. He is very playful and loves to do tricks for some treats. There is ABSOLUTELY no downside to this dog. He is the true meaning of a mans best friend. We have come into some horrible times and have had to move in with family. There is a bad allergy to dogs within the home so we are not able to take him there. I plan on moving back into a home in the next few months. When I do this I want to rejoin my baby with our family. Although I love him dearly this is truly more difficult for my husband. This is his dog and he feels like he is letting go of his best friend. We pray every day for a solution to our problem. We love our boys dearly and it is very hard to give them away, even for a short period of time. But due to the circumstances we are running out of time and have no other solutions. Please hear our prayers and help us.
Duke is a 1-year old Husky-pit-bull terrier mix. He has beautiful green eyes that can melt your heart. His weight is 75 lbs and he never really sheds. He is a wonderful boy who likes to play outside. He is house trained but has had his share of accidents. He is the biggest puppy you will ever meet. He loves to meet new people but has to make sure they are master worthy before they get to meet you. Duke has been through a lot in his life. When he was born our option was to either take him or he would be given to the SPCA. We took him and spoon fed him for the first three weeks of his life. When he was seven months old Duke fallowed our older dog off our farm and onto a near by road. Duke was hit by a car doing 40 mph. By the grace of god he made it through. I prayed every minute of that weekend and cannot bear to give him away after being so close to losing him once. He is such a special addition to our family. He loves to cuddle and give kisses. We have come into some horrible times and have had to move in with family. There is a bad allergy to dogs within the home so we are not able to take him there. I plan on moving back into a home in the next few months. When I do this I want to rejoin my baby with our family. This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. This dog has part of my heart and I feel very empty without him. Duke needs lots of attention and love. It also helps to have a big bed since he loves to cuddle! _______________________________________________________
OWNER IS ILL AND BEAR NEEDS A NEW HOME
Bear is a neutered male Geman Shepherd. He is 10 years old, 96 lbs and current on all shots. He was given up by a senior woman who could no longer care for him. He spent time in a shelter until his current owner found him on the internet. It was love at first sight. He was adopted by his current owner and his life became happy again. FromFeb., 14 2008 ,he has been a loyal and loving companion to his owner. Unfortunately, his owner is very ill with cancer and can no longer care for Bear.. His owner is devastated and now he is looking for someone who will open his/her heart and home to his very wonderful pet.Bear has been very well cared for. He is a quiet dog ,likes attention, protective ,and can be trusted to have the run of the house since he is non-destructive and housebroken. He loves his walks and does well on the leash. Bear would enjoy and benefit by being the only pet in the house. However, he likes kids of all ages. It was a pleasure meeting Bear. I only hope that he finds a home as good as the one he has now. I know it would ease his owner's mind if he knows that Bear will live his Golden Years happily. Please consider adopting Bear.

ADOPTION PENDING (1/26/10)
Cain is an American Bulldog. He is neutered and has current shots. Cain ,7 years old and 98 lbs., is housebroken and can be left alone without being destructive. He can also be left in a crate. He has a great personality. This handsome guy is laid-back and also enjoys walking. Cain is good with female dogs as evident since he lives with 3 of them . He hasn't been exposed to male dogs. He is good with cats and children of all ages. Please read his story submitted by his owner. Hi my name is Cain. I’m a seven year old American Bulldog in search of a new loving home. I’ve lived a very rough life. As a puppy my life was pretty good although I lived most my life outside. My owner loved me very much but at times was just too busy. The first few years were okay although I would have loved to have had a nice cozy spot indoors. After a few years, we moved to the city. That’s when things turned really bad. I was still kept outside and at times it seemed like I was forgotten. Sometimes ,I went many days without food and fresh water. Eventually hunger got the best of me and I started climbing the fence in search of food .Even then things didn’t work out very well. The dog catcher saw me and off to the pound I went. I was very scared but at least there I got a meal and was indoors for once. The scariest thing was the fact that I would be put to sleep if my owner didn’t come to get me. After spending a day at the pound ,my current owner who has known me all my life came to my rescue. I was so happy to see her .I knew she would make things okay. She paid fines and claimed me as her own. She got me vaccinated, licensed, microchipped and neutered. Then shetook me to stay with her. She lives in a fairly small apartment and has three other dogs. She also has two cats so there wasn’t much space for me but she made it work. I had a bit of food aggression but can you blame me? I never knew when I would get my next meal so I defended every meal as if it were my last. Once I got used to having my two meals a day, I realized it would always be there so I got rid of my aggression. Although my food aggression was never towards people just other dogs, my owner did not like that. She even put me to the test and made me share my food with her other dog .I did okay. She was very proud of me. When I first came to live here ,I was very curious of the cats and liked to chase them but I quickly learned my lesson after getting clawed in the nose (Ouch). Now I leave the kitties alone. My owner says I’ve done a complete 180° and now I’m ready to find a forever home. I’m good with kids. My owner has three kids in our home ages are 3 yrs., 7 yrs. and 14 yrs. So I’m good with all ages. I’m also good with female dogs. I’m not sure how well I’ll do with male dogs because I currently live with only female dogs. The time I lived outdoors my job was to guard so I will protect my family with my life. I am a very big lap dog if given the chance, and all I ask for is food, water, love and a cozy indoor home. Do you think you can give me a FOREVER home?
