2004 Adopted Saint Bernards (No longer Available)

Charlie: We have been over two weeks getting this dog flown to Anchorage. He was originally flown from Kaktovik to Barrow, to the Vet there. Kaktovik is on the northern border of the Yukon Territory and Alaska. Barrow is on the North Slope of Alaska. Details we received were a little sketchy, but he is a neutered male. He was all dirty and matted, so the Vet in Barrow cleaned him up and shaved all his hair. He is Long haired, even though he doesn't look like it right now. He weighs 120 pounds. He is between 2 and 4 years old, and has had no obedience training. He has been an outside dog. He is very gentle and laid back, and he rolled over and let them shave his belly without a whimper. He also let me cut his nails without any problem. Turns out he *is* housetrained. He has a wonderful saintly temperament, and gets along with our dogs, family, and grandkids very well. The dogs all slept together last night, without a peep. He is not leash trained, but is a willing learner and very eager to please. This rescue personifies the biggest problem we have in Alaska with getting dogs rescued, and that is transportation. Without many roads in a state 2-1/2 times larger than Texas, and the ones we have are usually dirt trails, this boy had to fly a long ways to get here. In looking at your map, you will not see many drivable roads north of Fairbanks. His front legs are a little crooked, and he has double dew claws. His face is a bit like a bull dog, but all in all, he is one beautiful boy and a joy to have in the house! 12/31/2004

MADDIE: Along with her litter-sister, Kyra, 14-month-old smoothcoat Maddie came into Rescue when her family hit a financial bump in the road. She's spayed, housetrained, and vaccinated, and will be HW-tested shortly. Currently at that gawky adolescent stage, Maddie could use an extra few pounds to fill out. She's good with most other dogs and is playful with cats. She's been with children as young as 18 months and is quite the cuddle-bug. Maddie would like a yard with a six-foot fence. Ideally we would like to try to place the sisters together. 12/30/2004

Sir Lancelot: is an older dog, possibly 4 to 6 years of age. He has perfect manners and is an absolute gentleman on lead, walking at heel without needing to be told. Like Punkin, Lance is looking for a nice home to live out his days, and nice children would be the center of his life. 12/29/2004

Sebastian: Hi I am a 7 month old altered male. I am a rough coat who is approx 80 lbs. I am very lovable and get along well with others. I was dumped at a store very malnourished and basically starving. Because of this I have some food issues with other dogs. We believe this behavior can be trained out with the right home. Sebastian gets along well with older children- we would prefer to place him in a family with children over 6, no toddlers please. He is all pup and loves to play. He is already housebroken and is very well mannered in the house. Would you be the right home for me? Contact Trina Souza 757-488-5772 12/23/2004

Ottis: is a 16 month old neutered male that gets along with dogs and cats. His owners have moved and can no longer keep him. Ottis is very well behaved. He loves being groomed and amusing himself with his basket of toys. 12/20/2004

C.J: is a 2 1/2 year old spay female. She is fine boned and small for a saint bernard. She only weighs 80 pounds but is at a good weight for her size. She enjoys cars rides and long walks. C.J. gets along well with other dogs but is not good with cats. She definitely is a kissy face type of gal that wags her whole body with excitement. Due to her high energy she may not be good with young children as she could unintentionally hurt them by knocking them down. She seems to be very healthy other than the fact that her left eye does not tear. She will need to have medicine put into her eye for the rest of her life. The cost would be about $43.00 every two months. 12/20/2004

KYRA: Littermate to Maddie, Kyra is 14 months old, smoothcoat, spayed, housetrained, and vaccinated. Like her sister, she will be HW-tested shortly. Though she is the bigger of the two girls, Kyra, too, could stand to gain a few pounds. Kyra appears to be the "pushier" sister. She gets along with submissive dogs and is reported to be quite curious about cats. She was raised with children though we'd prefer older children as Kyra has lots of enthusiasm. She and Maddie would benefit from some obedience work as they both pull on leash and aren't always consistent on commands. A fenced yard is essential and preference will be given to the applicant who would like to adopt both Kyra and Maddie. 12/18/2004

Daisy: 2 1/2 year old rough coated female. Very sweet. Turned into rescue because she was to big for toddlers. Needs obedience training. She is great with other dogs and older kids who like to play. Loves to get belly rubs and be brushed. Definitely thinks she is a lap dog. Likes to play chase with toys. 12/18/2004

Princess: What a lover this 7 year old smooth coat beauty is!! Princess came to us after her owners' fell on hard times and could no longer care for her. She is good with children, other dogs, and cats. She is quite spunky for her age, out playing even the youngest ones! She is such a nice girl and would love to find a forever home to live out her "golden years". 12/16/2004

Molly: she is 4yrs old housebroke utd spayed and basic obedience. 12/15/2004

Emmy: 3 yr. old S/H bitch, spayed, UTD on shots, HW neg. Very sweet dog, just wants to be someone's companion. Good with kids, cats and other dogs. Likes to be inside and is Housebroken. 12/10/2004

Dublin: dear 4 year old male St. Bernard who lost his home when his owner went into Assisted Living. Dublin is a loving boy who gets along with other dogs and loves attention from people. He is waiting for a new, loving home. Neutered, shots, microchip - $200 Adoption Fee. 12/9/2004

Duke: This gorgeous, very lovable 2 year old boy, came to us from a Central Illinois shelter after his owners gave him up because they didn't have time for him. He is great with other dogs, cats, and children. He loves belly rubs and car rides. He loves to romp and play. If you are looking for the love of your life, Duke may be your man! 12/6/2004

CHOPPER: This handsome three-year-old roughcoat has had a tough life. An owner-surrender, Chopper came into Rescue badly in need of veterinary care. We vaccinated him, dewormed him, and treated his infected ears. He had hot spots, which are not uncommon in Saints. We cured them. He needed eye surgery. We did it. He tested positive for heartworm. We treated that, too. He was matted and dirty. We had him groomed. Now he's ready to choose a family. He gets along with submissive dogs. According to his previous owner he also plays well with cats (though we don't currently have a "test cat" on the premises to confirm that). He's also friendly with children but we would recommend placement with a family whose kids are 10 or over as Chopper is best described as a bull in a china shop. A fenced yard is a must. The successful applicant will have large or giant breed experience and will commit to completing a formal obedience course with the big lug. 12/6/2004

MICKEY: His name is officially Miracle but we're calling him Mickey. He's a littermate to Kallie and is 11 months old. He is vaccinated but not yet HW-tested. Like his sister he will be altered once he has put on a few pounds. Mickey gets along with dogs he already knows but is unknown with new dogs. We're told he's fine with cats and children. (We'd recommend kids over 8 because he's a bundle of energy.) Initially a bit stand-offish when first meeting new people, Mickey quickly warms up. He's a good boy who will do well with a family willing to continue the obedience training he has just begun. A fenced yard is necessary. 12/6/2004

Diesel: is an active, friendly 18/20 month old neutered, long-haired male. He is up to date on shots. An owner surrender, he is in need of work on leash, as well as general obedience work. Please contact Jim @ 203-937-3642 West Haven Animal Shelter for more info. 12/6/2004

Sara: Sara is an 18 month to 2 year old, full mask, rough coated Saint Bernard. She is extremely hand shy and appears to have taken some abuse in her passed life. Sara has the 'classic' block head of a Saint Bernard and if drool isn't your cup of tea then she's not the dog for you. She has very long jowls/flews and does drool quite heavily. She's loving (once she warms up to you) and totally housebroken. Would you like to give Sara here forever home. 12/6/2004

Aurora: is a 2 year old lady who was found wandering the streets. She has had at least 1 litter of puppies in her life but is now spayed. She is living in a foster home with other dogs, cats and children and gets along well with everyone. She is not a very big girl and is seriously underweight but we are fixing that. She will probably get to about 120 pounds now that she has a regular diet of good food. We are not sure but we think that Aurora may have a hearing problem, the vet is working to either confirm if she does or doesn't. An update will be posted as soon as we have a definitive answer. Her apparent lack of hearing does not impair her in any way. It would also appear that some unkind human has had Aurora debarked as she only makes very soft "coughing" sounds instead of a real bark. 12/6/2004

Hoss: is a neuter male weighing in at 140 pounds. He is a very sweet and gentle soul that is showing some signs of separation anxiety. He will break out of the strongest crate you can find so crating him is not an option. The good news though is Hoss is house trained. He is very playful and seems to get along well with other dogs and cats. Hoss was in a temporary placement when the knuckle head decided that the poodle looked like a wonderful stuff toy. He picked him up in his mouth and was playing with him when everyone around him went crazy. Poor Hoss couldn’t understand what the big hubbla was over. The poodle wasn't hurt and He was only playing with it so what was all the fuss about??!! After all he let the cats paw at his tail and face and he didn’t get all excited over that so why should everyone get so worked up over him having a little playtime with the poodle. Hoss walks well on a leash but will try to chase an occasional squirrel so background in obedient training is advised. 12/5/2004

Chloe: Chloe is a 8 month old smooth coat female with a full mask. She weights over 100 lbs now and will be a big girl. She is crate trained and housetrained. She gets along well with other dogs and children. She doesn't mind cats or small animals either. She is current on all shots and is on heartworm and flea preventative. She will be spayed prior to placement. She is a big sweet playful puppy that needs a family of her own. 12/5/2004

His family surrendered him because he was was scratching on the back door attempting to get inside to a small breed dog that was in heat.

He will be neutered prior to placement, is up to date on shots and is on heart worm and flea preventative. 12/5/2004

He is a dominant male who would do best in the lead male position. He is good with the other dogs in his foster home and does well with older kids. He is a little too rowdy for younger kids. He is starting house training, crate training and basic obedience. Toto loves to get in your lap and loves all forms of attention. He is stubborn and obnoxious on occasion and would do best with an experienced Saint owner. 12/2/2004

Princess Di: sweet, loving and playful, this 3 year old female St. Bernard lost her home when her owners moved and the landlord would not let her stay. Princess Di is in great physical condition because she accompanied the previous owner on morning jogs. She is a short girl but she is very strong and enjoys activity.

Zoe does pull some on the lead when she goes for walks at first, then she tends to slack off. Zoe seems to be housebroken also. She does seem to need some house manners. She feels that it is okay to pounce up on the sofa, no matter who is already sitting there! Zoe is full of personality & will make a great companion for some family! 11/12/2004

Believe it or not I was dumped at animal control by the lady who bred me. I was the last of the litter and she did not want me. I am very lovable and highly treat motivated.

A fenced yard is preferred. 11/1/2004

Bunny: Bunny is a young female about 2 who was dumped by her previous owner and was found by a lady who brought her to us. She is a very very shy dog who gives the impression of having been abused in the past. She is very very "hand shy" and any fast hand motion will cause her to cower down. Once she is confident with a new person she is very gentle and friendly. She craves affection and just loves to be with people she trusts. She gets along well with other large dogs but did kill a rabbit in her foster home so she cannot go to a home with small animals or small dogs. She will be spayed in the next few days and will be given her shots. She has no obvious health problems. She does prefer to be indoors and is housebroken. Bunny needs a home where she will not be alone fo any length of time and owners who are prepared to work with her to build her confidence. 10/31/2004

Heidi: has been with rescue nearly a year. She’s a smooth-coated female nearing her second birthday. She has a rich brown mantle with white legs and underbelly.

She is crate trained and housebroken. She is current on vaccinations, heartworm and flea preventative. Duchess and her brother were picked up as strays, and her owner choose to leave both dogs in a kill shelter to face euthanasia. She is a wonderful dog and deserves to have a new family she can call her own. 10/21/2004

HUMPHREY: is a 3 year ( estimated by vet ) old rough-coat male. He weighs in at around 121 lbs., but could use to gain around 30 lbs. or so. Humphrey is neutered, current on shots, has been heartworm tested, & is micro-chipped too. This boy is a big lug who loves attention. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes. Humphrey rides great in the car, walks well on the leash & knows a few commands like; "Sit", "Down" and "Stay". This boy is housebroken & is very playful! 10/19/2004

Jake: A smooth coat St. Bernard....approximately 5 months of age. Nearly 45 lbs of pure love...remember, I am still growing. I like to run around outdoors, play with other dogs well I love people to scratch my head and rub my belly. Jake is fully vaccinated, heartworm negative and will be spayed prior to placement. Jake needs a place so he can run and play during the day But, would enjoy sleeping at your feet at night. 10/19/2004

Bailey: is a 4 year old neutered male. This poor boy was adopted 1 year ago this month and brought back into rescue due to the fact that he was peeing in the house. We have not had any problems with Bailey in rescue but we do keep him crated when we are not at home and in the evening when we are all sleeping. His former adopter believes that Bailey would have accidents because he didn’t like to be at home alone. Bailey walks well on a leash and gets along with dogs and cats. He is really a very sweet boy so if you are a stay at home person or retired Bailey would be just the companion you are looking for. If you work it would be advised that Bailey be kept in a crate in your absence. UPDATE; Bailey hates the crate but the good news is he is not having any accidents in the house. He just needed to have someone home with him most of the day so a stay at home mom or a retired person would suit Bailey just fine. Also Bailey's hips are not good so he lays around a lot. 10/18/2004

Tyler: This nice boy was rescued from an Illinois shelter after his owners just didn't want him anymore. He was left outside of the shelter. He is about 18 months old. He is shy but warms up quickly. He is good with other dogs, cats, and children. Won't you give him a second chance at a happy life? 10/18/2004

LUCKYBOY: is a 12 month old (estimated by vet) rough-coat male. He weighs in at 120 lbs. & is still growing!!!! Luckyboy is neutered, current on all shots, has been heartworm tested, and is on flea & heartworm preventative. Luckyboy is housebroken, is good with other dogs, & is also good with cats. He loves to go for car rides, & enjoys riding shotgun, but will also lay down in the backseat too. Luckyboy needs some work on the leash. He pulls some & likes to walk the zig zag pattern. Luckyboy is highly treat motivated, so he should do very well with some obedience training. As of right now he only knows the command "Sit". Luckyboy just loves to please his owner! He is a very sweet boy who loves to receive belly rubs too. Luckyboy is a very happy, go lucky, big goofy pup, who loves to play with his chew toys & chase the ball around. Luckyboy came to us as a stray, in horrible condition. He was covered in blood & open sores, & was very underweight. He had a terrible skin infection, ear infection & mange. If we would have known who owned him, we would have prosecuted them for neglect. Luckyboy has come thru like a trooper from day1. He has had to be on antibiotics daily, & also had to be dipped weekly for his mange. Everyone at our vet's office has fallen in love with him! Luckyboy is now a beautiful , healthy, happy pup waiting for the right family to adopt him! 10/15/2004

Zach: This very handsome 1 year old was rescued from an Illinois shelter after his owners left him tied out in the backyard to be ignored. He is great with other dogs, cats, and older children. He could use obedience training as he was never taught any manners. His foster mom is doing a great job of starting the job. He would love a second chance at a wonderful forever home! 10/15/2004

JAKE: is a 3 year old (estimated by vet) smooth-coat male. He weighs in at around 100 lbs., but still needs to gain another 20 lbs. or so. Jake is neutered, current on shots, has been heartworm tested, and started on flea & heartworm preventative. He is also housebroken. Jake came to us as a neglect case. He only weighed in at 66 lbs. & was chained to a tree. Jake has flourished into a very happy, sweet boy! Jake loves everyone! He is good with other dogs, cats & children (he's been around kids 5 years & older). Jake walks well on a leash & rides very good in a car. He is a little timid, has a laid back attitude, & is very mild mannered. Jake absolutely loves attention & will lean against you to get some. Jake acts very puppyish. He will chew on anything that is within his reach, if it is lying around. Jake loves to run & play, & has recently discovered toys! So he loves to play with all his doggie toys! If there are other dogs in the house, he does like to hoard his bones & toys to himself! He hasn't learned to share with them yet. I guess it is because he has never had them before. Jake does know how to "Sit" on command, & is a quick learner. Jake will make a great companion for anyone! 10/14/2004

MAGGIE: is a 1-2 year old Saint Bernard who was rescued from a shelter in Maryland. Maggie was a stray, so we have no history on her but from what we can tell, she probably belonged to someone as she is very attentive to people. She is on heartworm and flea preventative and up to date on her shots. From what we have determined, Maggie prefers to be the queen of her castle, and doesn't particularly like to share her master with other dogs. However as picky as she is, we have seen her play with another male dog. She would prefer to have her owner all to herself though. Maggie is very loving, full of playfulness and aims to please. She listens to people quite well, knows how to sit on command, and walks fairly well on a training collar. Maggie is house trained and likes to be inside, close to her people when they are home. She loves a good brushing, she just sits and soaks up the attention. She also likes to slip her master a kiss now and then just to let them know how much she cares. Maggie is on the small side for a Saint with a little growing left to do. Currently she is 85# and her target weight is likely around 100#. Maggie has an enormous amount of potential and wants nothing more than to love, be loved and please her master. As stated before she has gotten along with another male dog, but then tends to challenge other dogs and reacts sometimes without provocation. We do believe Maggie will probably do best as an only dog, but the behavior with other dogs can and should be worked with. A lot of her behavior is probably due to the instability in her life. We are also hoping that after she is spayed, she will lose some of her dominant traits. She needs a strong yet gentle owner with prior dog experience that will continue her training. In return, Maggie will provide a lifetime of love, devotion and happiness to her new family if only given the chance. Despite her troubles with other dogs, she is truly a wonderful companion to her humans. It would be best that she go to a home with older children, just because she tends to be a rough player. Maggie also seems to do well with cats. She will chase them if they are running, but if they are just standing next to her rubbing up against her, she could care less about them. 10/14/2004

Hogan: is a 2 year old, male rough coated Saint Bernard. Hogan is totally housebroken, does NOT counter surf, trash dive or any of those other obnoxious habits that get these guys into trouble. Hogan is currently fostered in a home with various sized dogs and gets along with all of them. He is somewhat cautious of men so the family that adopts him will have to introduce him to any man coming into the home. He's great with children and woman and becomes bonded quickly and eager to protect his family! 10/14/2004

BRUCE: This very handsome roughcoat boy is three-year-old Bruce. He's healthy, neutered, housetrained, vaccinated and HW-negative. He does well with other dogs and with cats. Though he has been with toddler-age children we prefer a family with children over 8. He's a sweet, affectionate boy who loves to sit in his human's lap and get kisses. Bruce has successfully completed two obedience courses. He sits for food, treats and attention, and he walks well on leash. Bruce is a dream dog who would love to have a stay-at-home mom so he'll have someone on whom to shower attention during the day. The successful applicant will have other dogs, a fenced yard and older children. 10/13/2004

SCRIBBLES: Look at that adorable little face! Miss Scribbles is 2 1/2 years old, and you'll never meet a sweeter dog. She's spayed, vaccinated, HW-negative and housetrained. She's been with children as young as four years of age. She's terrific with other dogs and is playful with cats. Laid-back, affectionate and absolutely beyond sweet, Scribs likes nothing better than to cuddle with her humans. (And she'd be thrilled if you'd throw a few tummy rubs her way.) Scribbles has had a few health problems in her young life but now she's healthy and she'd love a family to call her own. A fenced yard is not necessary. 10/13/2004

Chester: This cute Smooth Coat Saint was born in rescue after his mother was abandoned in an Illinois shelter. He was born 6/3/04. He has been in a wonderful foster home and has been exposed to children, cats, and dogs. He is very well socialized. 10/11/2004

Missy: is a 5 -7 year old long hair haired spayed female weighing about 110lbs. She is a well-trained house dog. She is crate trained but hasn't been in it since the first night. No need. She is absolutely wonderful! She is eating good and she does her business when taken out. She walks great on the leash. She has been to the groomer and to PetSmart and she did really well around people. She has been brought up with small and large dogs. She is going to make a great addition to someone's home. 10/7/2004

April: 3 year old female. Smooth coat. Good with other dogs and people but will need additional socialization with both. Needs to be the dominant female (or only) in the house. Very protective of kids and thinks they all belong to her. Will need an experienced Saint owner willing to put in the time to train & socialize her. She is house trained and crate trained. Has some obedience but can be stubborn. She is not good with cats. 10/5/2004

Bono: has had a hard life. his owner is in jail for buying him and sticking him out in the yard without adjusting his collar at all. the material of the collar forced itself into poor Bono's neck as he grew. bono rocked his way to us about three weeks ago after being cooped up in a shelter since December. bono was so happy to see wide open spaces that he shot like a cannon ball all over the yard. this one and a half old puppy loves to play imaginary electric guitars- jumping up and down. bono isn't your typical big hair in the eyes rocker. he has an attractive white face and acoustic brown splotches on his back. 10/4/2004

Buster: dear, sweet 1 1/2 year old male St. Bernard who lost his home when his owners moved to Australia and they didn't take him along. We picked Buster up in Victorville, CA and he rode extremely well in the van. He enjoyed seeing all the lights in the desert. Buster gets along with other dogs and is a big good boy. Neutered, shots, microchip 10/3/2004

Angel: This rough coat little lady is approx 18 months old. She is small for the breed, currently weighing 88 pounds but she came to us from a neglectful situation where she was rarely fed. Now that she has a good diet she is gaining weight rapidly and I believe she will probably get to about 110. Angel is a very sweet, gentle dog who gets along with other dogs, big and small, is not bothered by cats at all and she loves kids. She will make a wonderful family dog. She prefers to spend the majority of her time indoors, preferably close to a human. 10/1/2004

Puppies:::::::::: This litter of 10 Smooth Coat Saints were born in rescue after their mother was abandoned in an Illinois shelter. They were born 6/3/04. They have been in a wonderful foster home and have been exposed to children, cats, and dogs. They are very well socialized. We will be taking applications and placing the puppies with only VERY serious adopters. Adopters MUST have a fence, MUST be willing to allow the Saint to live indoors, and MUST enroll the Saint in obedience class. 9/30/2004

NORMAN: Norman is a wonderful, loving three-year-old roughcoat who comes to us following his family's divorce. He is housetrained and UTD on vaccinations. He's scheduled to be neutered and tested for HW. Like so many Saints, Norman has a seizure disorder but it's well-maintained on medication that's quite inexpensive. Norman plays well with other dogs and even tolerates cats. He's been around children of all ages (including an infant). A fenced yard is preferred but is not essential. Won't you take a chance on this sweet, affectionate boy? 9/29/2004

TUGGER: Tugger was born on Christmas Day 2001 and what a sweet present he was! Alas, his family got caught up in their own lives and had no time for him so he ended up in a kill shelter in the south. From there he made his way to New England Saint Bernard Rescue. Tug is heartworm-negative, up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered and housetrained. He's ready to go to a new home. Could that be yours? Tug is good with female dogs only. He's great with kids and also with strangers. Don't know about cats. A fenced yard is necessary, and giant-breed experience would be a plus. 9/29/2004

Mandy: Mandy is a young female came from a shelter into rescue. Very sweet girl, content to lay on the floor and be petted for hours gets along with other dogs, doesn't seem to be dominant. Has very little interest in cats. Will check them out, but that's all. Very good house manners, seems to be housebroken. Tight lip, so no drooling. Very lady-like and calm mannered. But has plenty of energy to play when she wants to. Knows some basic commands, but could always use a brush up. Intelligent. Will probably remain on the petite side. Easy to care for coat. Very good with the groomer. Easy to work with. Likes to jump up on you occasionally and give you hugs with her paws, working on that. A home with older children would probably be best. 9/27/2004

Dizzy: Is a 7 month old, full mask, rough coat, female Saint Bernard. Dizzy still has a LOT of puppy in her so she'll need a forever home that is willing to work with her on her housebreaking and the "don't chew" command - both of which are typical puppy behaviors. Dizzy has been spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives and is microchipped. Would you like to give Dizzy her forever home? 9/25/2004

Shamus: sweet, adorable 7 month old male St. Bernard who lost his home when his owner left town for military duty. Shamus is a well-behaved boy who gets along with other dogs, walks well on a leash and knows his basic commands.
Neutered, shots, microchip 9/22/2004

Avalon: 15 month old male. Smooth coat. Good with other dogs and kids. Obedience trained, crate trained and walks well on a leash. Avalon is an ex show dog who came to rescue when his breeder could not care for him anymore. 9/21/2004

Burgess: is a healthy, fun AKC registered 4 year old who has been neutered and is current on all his shots. He is very smart and a beautiful dog weighing approx. 130 lbs. When he walks he is almost prancing. He runs like the wind and is beautiful to watch. He can open doors that do not latch tight and will get out of a fence that is not totally secure. He does well with other dogs and children 10 years and older but does not like cats. He his very gentle when he licks peanut butter off our fingers, one of his favorite treats. We suspect some abuse in his past. He is very cautious with new people and at times his body language suggests he is expecting us to abuse him in some way. Burgess need lots of love and a firm hand. He is great on a leash and comes when called. He will do well by himself or with another dog. 9/20/2004

GUS 2: Friendly and playful, 17 month old Gus will steal your heart. He's vaccinated, neutered, housetrained, and heartworm-negative. Gus does well with young kids, cats, and most dogs. He's a big fan of treats and will follow you to the ends of the earth for a piece of cheese. Though he's decended from a dozen or more American and Canadian champions (including Mountain Spirit, Slaton, Stoan, and Cache Retreat), he has never been in the show ring. He much prefers to just nap on the couch. A fenced yard is preferred. 9/19/2004

RILEY: Just a year old, Riley came to us from a municipal shelter in New York where he had been surrendered by his owners because "he got too big". Huh? The little guy only weighs around 95 pounds soaking wet and is easily 20 pounds underweight. He's had a rough early life and is recovering from a pretty serious case of pneumonia. But Riley's feeling much better now, and would like a family of his own on whom he can bestow puppy kisses. Neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm-negative, he's almost completely housetrained and tries very hard to let us know when he needs to go outside to take care of business. He was raised with children and is friendly with most other dogs but is unknown with cats. He LOVES riding in the car and getting tummy rubs. We'd prefer a fenced yard. Won't you let sweet little Riley into your heart? 9/19/2004

DAVE: Dave is a handsome 2-1/2 year old roughcoat who is neutered, UTD on vaccinations, HW-negative and housetrained. He does well with older children but should be the family's only pet. Dave is the product of abuse, and the successful applicant will be patient and willing to help Dave learn to trust humans again. Though he has some basic obedience he can be stubborn at times and he hasn't yet mastered the fine art of controlled leash-walking. All that said, Dave is a good boy who's quite affectionate and he will be a wonderful dog for the right person. We are requiring a sturdy six-foot fence, and Saint experience is essential. 9/19/2004

Emma: Has a lovely face, and is settling in. She went to the vet yesterday, and was bathed, given shots, etc. Poor thing, she weighs only 66 pounds, and you can count every bone just by looking at her. I can fit my cupped hand around her backbone. The vet said she should be about 100. She thinks she is 1 to 1 1/2 yrs old. She is getting along fine with the other dogs. Emma will be spayed, current on all vaccinations, on flea/tick and heartworm preventative as well as microchipped prior to placement. Would you like to give Emma her forever home. 9/17/2004

GRETA: is a 2 year old ( estimated by vet ) smooth-coat female. She weighs in at around 110 lbs. or so. Greta is spayed, current on all shots, has been heartworm tested, and started on her flea & heartworm preventative. She is housebroken & crate trained too. Greta is a very laid back girl for her age. She would prefer a home with older children & she seems to do well with other dogs. Greta does okay with cats, but tends to want to chase them. She enjoys going for walks, & likes being near her family. Greta can jump a 4ft. fence, that is probably why she came into the shelter as a stray. It would be best that she go to a home with a higher fence, or to someone who will leash walk her a few times a day. 9/16/2004

Baloo: Hi my name is Baloo. I was named after the big, clumsy bear on Jungle book. I am 126lbs and am a little to thin for my build. I am 1yr and 9mnths old. I am a giant smoothcoat, neutered male. I am current on all my vaccines, on flea and heartworm preventative and am micro-chipped. I am told I am a big baby. I love to be loved. I like other dogs but I am not sure yet about the cats. I want to chase them but my foster mom won't let me. I love playing with the kids, I like to give kisses to the baby (his face taste good). He sneaks me cookies when mom is not watching. I know how to sit, lay down, and give paw. I like leaning on my foster mom to get love. It was really fun when I knocked her over then I got to kiss her whole face. She laughed and told me how big and clumsy I was. Can you imagine that, she's the one who fell and she thinks I am clumsy HA. I love to get rubbed and play ball. I like playing with my foster family but I would really like a forever home, if yours is it. 9/16/2004

MAX: is a 4-5 year old rough-coat male. He weighs in at around 140 lbs. Max is neutered, housebroken, current on all shots, and on flea & heartworm preventative. Max is a very laid back boy. He loves hanging out on the couch with a human buddy, head in lap for lots of petting. Max also loves to go for leash walks. When he sees the leash, he gets very excited! What he really likes to do is to take the leash in his mouth & take his human for a walk! Max is not a rowdy boy, but he does love to play outside with his human when he has the chance. Max is definitely a people dog, he really likes to be close to his people. Max is fine around cats, & does fine around other large dogs and puppies. He especially likes female dogs, but humans are his favorite thing. If you are looking for your next "Best Friend", please consider Max, nothing would make him happier! 9/16/2004

Katie: Katie is a 1-year old female smooth coat tri-colored Saint Bernard. Katie was a stray at a Maryland animal shelter and her family never came to pick her up. She is small for a Saint, weighing only about 95#. She is in great shape with a beautiful coat! She is a loyal and loving companion to her foster family and enjoys the company of other dogs of all shapes and sizes. Katie loves to swim, she loves to go to the doggie park and meet new friends, and she loves to play tug-o-war with her foster brothers. Katie is still a puppy and will chew things when left unattended, but she has never been destructive to furniture. Katie is housebroken, crate-trained, and uses the doggie door when she needs to go in and out. She walks fairly well on leash, but will need continued work on this. She knows sit, down, and come and has excellent house manners. Katie is excellent with all people, including children in the neighborhood. Katie would like to go to a home with another doggie playmate with lots of energy! She loves to chase and to be chased and enjoys frequent trips to the dog park and the beach/lake.

Socrates: is a 2 ½ year old neutered male. His owner past away which left Socrates homeless.
He weighs in at 120 and has a long coat. Socrates is housetrained and loves to play with other dogs. Cats are unknown at this time. He walks very nicely on a leash and does know basic commands. Socrates is a big goober boy so if you don’t like drool you will not like this big guy. He seems to enjoy kids and loves to greet people at the door. Socrates’ hip aren’t good so it would be best not to let him get overweight. Also he had seizures just before coming into rescue. He is on medication at this time and the seizures are under control. The cost of his medicine will run about $18.00 to $20.00 a month. 9/7/2004

Terra: This sweet 5 year old was given up to rescue after her owner fell on hard times and could no longer care for her. Terra was very loved and her personality shows it! She is a great dog! She loves other dogs and gets along well with cats, kids, and everyone she meets. She loves to play and she loves stuffed animals and rawhides. She is a snuggler and will love a good belly rub! 9/7/2004

He has hip dysplasia / arthritis but gets along very well. He is also a SPECIAL NEEDS boy. He has been diagnosed with a heart condition called Cardiomyopathy. He will need to be on medications for the remainder of his life. He is just a handsome man and quite the lover! He is a big boy with a big heart! Won't you give Dryfus a happy place to live out the next half of his life? 9/7/2004

MATIAS is a sweet three year old roughcoat male. He is HW-negative, neutered, and housetrained. His vaccinations are current. What a well-traveled dog he is! Born is Chile, he lived in Australia before moving to the United States. His family's employment will be taking them to several European countries over the next couple of years, thus they asked us to help find him a new home. Mati plays well with most other dogs. He's very curious about cats but does play gently with squirrels. He loves hanging with his humans and getting tummy scratches, but he doesn't like it when the rubbish truck comes. Maybe he thinks they're stealing his family's trash?? He's an affectionate fellow who has been described as "a gentleman". Mati would do best in a family with slightly older kids as he doesn't realize his size. The successful applicant will have giant breed experience and a fenced yard (either a traditional fence or an invisible fence). 9/7/2004

Bruits: IS a sweet ,sweet male coming to Rescue this week. He has been nurtured. He is 4-5 year old. His owner passed away and then he was tied to a tree by his neighbors who did not feed not water him as needed. A nice lady noticed him and the empty house. So also noted his skin started to lose some hair and he was losing weight. She ran down the nearest relative and received a release from them. She has offered to keep him in her home town of Conway Arkansas for a few days while we work on placing this sweetie. Robin has offered to drive as far as 2 hours from Conway in any direction to meet you. He is now being vetted . he has gotten his shots, worming, and will be tested for heartworms. His hair loss was flea related so we will some having his bald spots fill back in. Bruits is house broken, loves getting on the bed with you. Is standoffish of other dogs. Cats are nothing to him. He loves all people and is very happy not to be living on a tree. 9/4/2004

TANNER: Not quite two years old and full of mischief, Tanner would very much like a family to call his own. He's neutered, housebroken, HW-negative, and his vaccinations are current. Tanner has been with children as young as three but we would suggest slightly older kids for him as he isn't aware that he's a good-sized boy. He is friendly with submissive dogs but has no experience with cats. Tanner knows some commands (and obeys them when it suits him). He does need a bit more work on leash-walking. It's not that he WANTS to pull his human; he's just in a hurry to scope out his world. Tanner's a sweet young boy with lots of potential. We will want an Saint- or giant-breed experienced owner and a fenced yard for him. 9/1/2004

Shatzi: 2 year old female. Smooth coat. Half mask. Came to rescue from Alamogordo, NM. She was left there in a rest area. She will need obedience training and we are working on her house training. She loves to lay on the couch and stretch out as far as she can. She will also do this same behavior on the bed if you let her up there. Shatzi is not big on car rides. We have been taking her places to get her used to riding in the car and she is doing better. Shatzi is a little afraid of all strangers but after an initial bark will go up to be petted with the other dogs. She is good with other dogs but hasn't learned how to play yet. She is trying though. 9/1/2004

Kira: did not come from jolly old England. she was transferred from Virginia Maryland rescue to us because she was not acting well with larger dogs. she is small and young for her profession- about two or two and a half. she is looking for a job, mostly in a different place. she loves snuggling up in bed and chasing cows and horses. we are working on passing her through customs at one of the local dairy farms. she wants to learn how to act in a lead role with bovines or ovines. she is a beautiful dog with a brunette colored splash coat and a freckled nose. she would also do well in a home with small tots, watching over them as they play. she would be a great nana. she is still looking for her dark haired British babe. 8/29/2004

Daisy: Her tail never stops wagging, excellent on leash, kind and generous with her body, doesn't jump , graceful. She had a pretty rotten life attached to a two foot length heavy chain with heavy locks at either end attached to a dreadful filthy collar so right it would hardly come off. Her neck shows the impression. She is very loving, wants attention but not pushy. 8/29/2004

Frieda: This very sweet 4 year old was rescued from an Illinois Shelter after her owners divorced and could no longer care for her. She is AWESOME with children and really misses being with a family. She is great with other dogs and cats. She is just a doll!!! What a lover!! 8/29/2004

Dolly: This very sweet lady has had an incredible rough start in life. After falling into the wrong hands, she was left outside to live, chained to a dog house. The owners finally gave her up to a shelter and we were called in to rescue her. She was matted head to toe in feces and urine. She was in terrible condition. After an intense grooming, she looks 100% better. She came home from the veterinarian, met her new foster brothers and sisters and curled up on the couch to sleep. She is the nicest girl! A little shy at first but quickly warms up. She is approximately 6 years old. She is great with other dogs and cats. She is looking for a forever home where she can be loved, sleep on the couch, and enjoy endless belly rubs. Could it be yours? 8/29/2004

Lucy Ann: 4 yr old smooth female. Came to rescue from a shelter. Wonderfully well behaved. Knows all obedience plus a few tricks. House and crate trained. Used to be the only dog in the home but is learning to play with other dogs in her new foster home. Will make an easy, quiet companion. 8/29/2004
