Angus, 5 years old, 37 lbs, Chocolate lab mix <br/><br/>Here is a note from Angus's previous foster to his new family <br/><br/>"Dear new family,<br/><br/>Thank you for adopting me. I have been waiting a really long time. My name is Angus, and I am a very good boy. I'd love it if you could tell me that every day. I spent the first three to five years of my life thinking I was a bad dog.<br/><br/>I don't like to remember those times, but my foster mom, Amber, could tell I'd been beaten and had witnessed someone I loved being hurt too. I just cowered and trembled and stayed outside. I was too scared to come inside. Sometimes she'd have to pull on my leash kind of hard to get me inside. Forgive me if I hesitate at the door; every now and then, I forget that it's okay to be an indoor pet. It helps if you let me go in front of you. Then I can do my job as a loyal companion and lead you to safety.<br/><br/>I know I am lucky to have you and guess what—you are lucky to have me! Underneath the layers of fear that have almost all dissolved, I am all love and kindness.<br/><br/>Amber says I have high emotional intelligence. I think she means that I comforted her a lot when her dog Maxi died. Every time she cried, I knew to rest my head or paw on her lap and look into her eyes so I could let her know I was sharing her feelings. That's how loyal I am. She often told me I was super smart and curious because I'd watch her closely, listening. I do understand a lot of what you are saying and showing on your face.<br/><br/>We'd listen to the birds together every morning, and she laughed when I tilted my head to hear the newest bird songs. I'd even sit next to the bird bath to listen and watch them come and go. I would never, ever hurt one. I even wagged my tail and tried to play, but they always flew away. I have been told I am gentle.<br/><br/>I know not to do my business in the house. I used to mark, but I learned not to do that in 2 days! Amber says I am so smart and care so much about being a good boy that I correct easily. I get scared when people yell NO, but the minute I hear someone say EhEhEh, I know it's time to stop! It only takes a few EhEhEh's, and I stop the naughty thing forever. My foster mom also says I am food motivated. Isn't everyone food motivated? I love a tasty snack after breakfast; my favorite is one of those jerky treats that's shaped like a stick.<br/><br/>I bark when I hear something suspicious because it's my job to alert and protect you. Sometimes I bark when someone I don't know comes into the house. That's because I know what love is now and I want to protect you. If I go on and on too long, just say my name firmly (not meanly) and then go EhEhEh. I might bark again to be sure you're okay; please remind me, and soon I will be sniffing that person and letting them pet me.<br/><br/>I love other dogs and would really love a playmate, if not a few. I am also learning that I like cats. I love laying in the sun, and zooming in circles when we play. I wag my tail a lot now; it used to be tucked under my belly all the time. I am still figuring out what a leash is. At first, I ran away when I saw a leash; now I get excited because I know a walk is coming! Amber has a disability, so I pulled a little too hard for her, but my foster dad could walk me okay. I hope you can help me walk better on a leash. It's the best way to go to the dog parks and meet all the dog friends I don't know yet!"<br/><br/>Apply online at www.lolasrescue.com/available-animals please note if you utilize an Iphone there are two scroll bars on the side of the screen to scroll down through available animals.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>You can email Info@lolasrescue.com anytime with questions pertaining to animals in our care.
