Bob Barker is a little sky terrier who is bright, perky and funny. He loves other dogs and loves to play with people. I went and looked up Skye Terriers because I have never had one before. Here is a quote:

They are strong, canny, brave, and very independent. Not to mention the fact that when they love someone they are very loyal.

The Skye is very good-natured, loyal, polite, loving and affectionate. Brave, bold, spirited, playful and happy, it loves attention.

I would say he is a bit cautious and will do well in a home that understands little terriers . My son named him Bob Barker because he runs around the yard announcing who is there. He is with a foster home and they have told me he is ready for a new family.

Hondo is an 18 month old big, beautiful boy. He looks a lot like Max so I am going to go through all the appls I have for Max to give you first dibs on him. I wil lget a picture tomorrow. He is big, athletic and red. And VERY sweet tempered. He has had some training, loves to run and wants to learn.

Hondo has gone to a family than runs and will give him a lot of exercise.

Gigi is a little Golden Cross (maybe Golden/Border Collie). She is very sweet and very loving. She has an incredibly expressive face. If you are interested in a smaller dog who is polite, attentive and wants to be with you, this is the dog. She loves people and comes and sits with me when I am sitting on the swing outside.

She smiles a lot. She gets overwhelmed with with a lot of big dog activity, so will do better in a quieter home. She loves to go on walks and loves to be near her person. This is a perfect dog for an older, less active family who wants a devoted companion.

Her owner died and the family turned her and Bob into the shelter. I got emails from 8 people who thought since she was part Golden, I would be the perfect place for her.

She has had shots, a teeth cleaning, a chip and is spayed. She loves being in a crate although would prefer to be with you. She is ready for a dog bed in a HOUSE!!!

Here is Max. We think is about 2 or so. He was a stray dog who wandered into a mechanics service area. They guys fed him so he stuck around. He was sweet, funny and kind. But the shop owner was concerned that he could get hurt with all the oil and antifreeze around so she called us.

We got him, got shots, tested him for heart worm (negative) got him chipped and neutered and found him a home. last week we got a call from the wife saying she had decided to leave the husband and she wanted to bring Max back to rescue.

He is still sweet, funny and kind. He carries around either a huge kong or a baby doll that he does not rip up. He doesn’t bark or jump. He is very athletic and is gorgeous. He has not really been trained yet although he LOVES learning things. We are working on leash walking. He loves to go in the car and loved going to the groomer.

Special thanks to Bath, Brush and Beyond for the fabulous pic of Max.

Hi everyone, I had about 20 people who were interested in Max. I placed him with a young couple who run. They reported taking him 11 miles yesterday and he still had energy to play and romp. the task that I always face is matching the dog to the people. Max is a VERY athletic, high energy dog. He is a rambunctious teenage and unless he has a lot of exercise, he would be into trouble.

I do have all your apps here and will be keeping you posted on the dogs that come in. Thank you all for you interest.

Maddie is one year old Golden Cross. She was picked up as a stray, no chip, no ID, no owner reclaim. The shelter called us and since she is so sweet we figured we would call her *lucky dog* and put her up for adoption. She is VERY affectionate. Loves to ride in the car, loves to walk on a leash. If you want a loving litle girl, she is the one. She weighs about 30 pounds. We will get her spayed. She is now chipped and has had shots. She doesn’t like being left alone and wants to be with a family.

Precious is an older girl who was picked up by animal control. She was really depressed and miserable. They asked me to take her. She was in pretty sad shape. I got her groomed and gave her a BALL and lo and behold she is one funny mama. We assume she has had boat loads of puppies and then was thrown away. She has been spayed.

Here is the wonderful thing. I have all these young wild teenagers…and Miss Precious has been teaching them all to behave. When they get rowdy, she goes and tells em to stop it. She shares a pen with Maverick. The first time they had dinner together, he thought it would be fun to eat hers. She told him *touch it and die, dude* and he blinked and sat down in the back corner and watched her finish dinner. He adores her.

Some people don’t want to get a senior because they cannot bear the idea of only having a few years with a dog. I happen to love the older ones (probably because I am older, LOL) who are mellow, grateful, calm, courteous and amenable to about anything. She carries her ball everywhere. She is lively, active and very, very funny. Queen of the pack. A very special girl.

Here is 10 month old Eve looking kinda goofy. She is funny, playful and full of life. She has an appointment for her spay next week, no puppies for this girl LOL. She loves to run, doesn’t like being locked up and wants to do nutty things. She is still a goofy pup with a lot of spirit. LIke her bud, Adam, she needs training. Both of them were kept caged up and and learning social skills. She is very affectionate, and wants to please. She can be edgy with other dogs if she is behind the fence and has a lot to say. I think it is because she doesn’t know the drill yet. But she adores Maverick and listens to precious with instant deference. With a little patience she will be a fabulous companion.

Adam is about 2 as well. He and Eve were set up to be the new breeding line down south. They were kept in cages in readiness for puppy mill work. We were able to bring them into rescue. Adam is young and active. He is strong, hearty and willing. He is not yet trained, but is very responsive to the clicker training I have started with him.
He has been neutered, chipped and given his shots. He will do well with someone who can spend time with him and help him get socialized. He is not aggressive at all, but is skittish about new situations. I would call him a diamond in the rough.

Maverick is a 2 year old male. He is neutered, has had his shots and is chipped. He is young and athletic. He has a wonderful temperament, doesn’t get flapped by other dogs and loves to play. He is mouthy so he sometimes wants to grab your hand, but has been very responsive to my training. He LOVES learning things.He is very, very smart and will not do well if you just leave him at home. He loves to hike and go running. And of course he is knock out gorgeous to boot.
