Comments: Mike is a friendly, affectionate big boy. He is an active, playful guy. He will need a more active home, but he is also ready to settle and snuggle as well. He is still young, so will need a little gentle guidance in the ways of the world to help build his confidence. He is not shy, just a little tentative about anything new. Mike is a very sweet, lovable big boy. Mike is not suitable for an apartment/condo/townhome. He will also need a home with a canine companion and without cats.

Comments: Shadow came to us from Ireland. Shadow is happy, friendly and playful. She will need a home without cats or small dogs. Shadow will likely need a canine companion. August 2, 2017: Shadow was diagnosed with has IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia) with an unknown cause. Sept 2017: Shadow is responding well to treatment, is gaining weight and back to enjoying life. She continues on with her treatment and we are slowly reducing her meds. March 2018: Shadow continues to do well in her follow up medical testing and we are slowly reducing her medications. It is so wonderful to see her doing so well and getting back to life as it should be. She remains on one medication at this point, but we are hopeful that she will soon be off all medications and that she can resume life and pursuit of a forever home. May 2018: Shadow is now off all medications. Her last blood test was excellent! We need to do one more blood test to check that she is remaining healthy. Her coat has grown back in and she is playful, happy and delightful!! Once she has had her next blood test she will be available for adoption. July 2018:Shadow is back to normal, but she will need to have periodic blood work done to make sure that everything continues to stay stabilized. August 2018: Shadow is doing well. She loves her walks with our volunteers, hanging in one of the turnout yards with our volunteers or snuggling up for some affection. Shadow is delightful. She will make a wonderful companion. She has waited so long – won’t you give this sweetheart her forever home?

Comments: Johnny is an upbeat, friendly guy. He likes to play. He loves attention and is a happy soul - very affectionate. Johnny has a heart murmur, but it should not be an issue as long as it is monitored periodically and he doesn't over exert himself. Johnny is a greyhound mix and came to us from the Mid-West. Johnny loves his walks with our volunteers. He is a happy, energetic boy, but he also loves a little snuggle. He rides well in the car. He loves to smile! He will need a home without cats. He did well in small dog testing, but has not lived with one. We have noticed some irregularities with his sight, so we are getting the eye specialist to take a look at him. MEDICAL HOLD

Comments: Kaia is the sweetest boy. He loves to cuddle and is very affectionate. He loves to play with the squeeky toys and loves his walks. He loves his walks with our volunteers, but also loves to snuggle with his humans. He is gentle, playful and loving. Kaia just wants to be with you. He would love a home with a securely 6 foot fenced yard. Kaia has done fine meeting kids when out and about, but has not lived with them. We think that teenage boys were not kind to Kaia in his past, so a home without teenage boys would be best. Kaia has met dogs when out and about, but has not lived with them. Kaia came to us from the UAE and lived in a foster home as an only dog, so he already knows the ropes about living in a home.
