Jenny was adopted 8/23/10!
Private Referrals are listed as a courtesy to other rescues, shelters, and private individuals looking to place a dog. Any adoption resulting from this listing is a matter solely between the lister and potential adopter.

Jenny is a one year old Australian Shepherd mix. She is VERY affectionate and loves to be with people.

Jenny’s former owner was planning a move from the country to the city and decided that he couldn’t take Jenny with him. Instead of trying to find her a new home his solution was to shoot her. I heard about what the man was planning on doing and rescued her from this horrid situation. I am now looking to find Jenny a loving family that will give her the chance at life that she deserves.

She is spayed, crate trained, knows a few obedience commands, and walks very nicely on a leash.

To learn more about Jenny please contact me at Jennifer. A $100 adoption fee will apply.

Hummer was adopted 8/5/10!

Hummer, 1 year old red tri male – 18 1/2 inches tall, 43 lbs, UTD on shots – will be neutered before going to new home – Hummer is very loving and playful – he was bought as a show dog but did not get big enough to be within the breed standard, so the owner wanted a dog she could compete with, so asked us to find him a good home. He has been around other dogs and does fine with them – he is well socialized. He is located in eastern Kansas.

Tia was adopted 8/23/10!

Tia, 6 month old black tri mini, spayed, UTD on shots, HW negative, 19 lbs.  Tia was also rescued from the same dog auction and was never outside of her crate until arriving at the foster home.  She was so scared and it was pathetic watching her try to figure out the simplest things – one step, going through a door, eating out of a dish.  Tia has progressed very quickly and is very affectionate although submissive to everyone.  She will lick & lick to show her submission but we are working on building her confidence.  Tia now goes readily into her crate to be fed, but then wants to come out to be near her foster mom as soon as she is done eating.  She gets along great with other dogs and enjoys a nice wrestling match.  She was fine with our 3 year old granddaughter.

Maxine was adopted 7/12/10!
Maxine, 7 month old blue merle/blue eyes mini aussie, spayed, UTD on shots, HW negative, crate trained.  This little love bug was rescued from a dog auction where she had been placed by the backyard breeder who had never allowed her out of her crate.  Maxine was very fearful for the first few days at the foster home, but is now very attached to her foster mom and totally enjoys cuddling and taking naps in her lap.  She is 15 lbs and will probably not get any larger.  Maxine is fine around other dogs, but can be a bit bossy so we feel she would do better as an only dog.  She was OK with the 3year old that she was introduced to, but did not want to interact with the child so she would probably not be a good candidate for a “family” dog.  Maxine would thrive best in a quiet home that would enjoy a “lap warmer” of a dog.

Dee was adopted 7/13/2/10!
Dee, 3 year old red merle female, UTD on shots, HW negative, microchipped, crate trained.  This totally beautiful girl is a sweetheart.  She loves to play with other dogs and will also engage in a game of tag with her foster mom.  Dee was purchased off Craigslist from a backyard breeder because she didn’t get pregnant when they bred her.  How lucky for Dee!!!  You would never know that she had spent her entire life in a kennel run – she absolutely loves being a house pet.  Dee was wonderful for her bath and trim and even let us cut her toenails without a fuss.  She is not without faults though – she is fascinated with kitchen counters and will “surf” them any chance she gets.  All in all, Dee is a delightful dog and will become even more beautiful once her sun bleached coat has time to heal and darken with some TLC.

Phoebe was adopted 7/12/10!

Phoebe, 1 year old blue merle spayed female, UTD on shots, HW negative, cratetrained, housebroken, microchipped.  Phoebe spent the first 10 months of her life isolated, living in an outside pen.  She had the unfortunate karma of being born to a mother who was owned by a backyard breeder.  Her early isolation has left her very shy of people.  Phoebe’s foster mom takes her for walks everyday in her busy neighborhood and Phoebe is slowly learning that people are good.  She is reluctant to let people pet her at first, but within a moment or so, she really seems to enjoy the interaction and relaxes.  Phoebe is totally wonderful around other dogs, but small children make her nervous so we would like to find a childless home with at least one other dog.

An adoption is pending.  Chili, 3 year old neutered aussie mix, UTD on shots, HW negative, microchipped, cratetrained, housebroken.  Chili ended up in rescue because his owners are moving to that mysterious state that doesn’t allow dogs.  Chili has impeccable house manners and is a delightful house guest for his foster parents.  He is wonderful with other dogs being especially gentle and sweet with puppies.  Chili is not very big – just under 40 lbs – just the right size & temperament for any situation!

 
6/28/10  Update from foster mom – Flip that is mentioned is their 12 week old puppy:
 
Chili is such a sweet boy.  Calm in the crate and lies there waiting patiently to be let out with his front paws cross and head up – no panting or craziness.

 
Impeccable house manners.  Absolutely no marking.  Eats normally without complaint.  He’s still eating in his crate.
 
Chili picked up a ball and ’showed’ it to Flip and walked along side him and threw it for Flip to catch.  It was almost as is he was training Flip – ’see I throw it and now you catch it’   I observed that last night.  He is super gentle and loving with Flip.  Flip adores Chili and wants to be with him all the time.  Chili likes to go into Flip’s xpen and we often put him in there together.

Pretty was adopted 6/22/10!

Pretty – 10 month old spayed aussie mix.  Housebroken, cratetrained (doesn’t like it, but is good) UTD on shots, HW negative, microchipped.  My grandmother always told me “Pretty is as pretty does” and if that’s true then this little girl was perfectly named!!  She is a great little girl who loves everyone – people, kids, dogs, toys.  She is quickly learning to walk on leash and is just an all round great dog – just a nice normal puppy.  She is still puppy though and has that exhuberance energy that all puppies have.
