Tessa

"TESSA" is a beautiful 3 1/2 yr. old German Shepherd mix. She is a "perfect" medium sized gal who is just right for walking with you. Somewhere in her past, she must have had some rough treatment by children, so she startles easily & needs a quiet, gentle - but firm - loving family who will be patient & let her settle in gradually. Tessa is MUCH more comfortable with the ladies - since she is one herself. Guess she likes "hen-parties & girls-nights-out"! Once she feels secure & trusting in her new home, she loves for you to sit beside her & pet her very soft fur. The perfect home for Tessa would be with ladies who use calm & gentle commands, spoil her & make her part of her forever family. Come sit beside her & have a little "girl talk". Hopefully both you & Tessa may find your happily ever after together!

Sonny

"SONNY" is a young, extremely playful & loving boy who ABSOLUTELY LOVES KIDS!! He will lay down beside them & let them hug him, ruffle his fur & he couldn't be happier! He is also a lover of toys - big, small, round, soft, chewy - & he will run all over the yard with them just for your amusement. Sonny NEEDS a home with kids to play with, another dog to play with or BOTH, & a fenced yard is definitely a neccesity for that freedom to run & play. (NOT an electric fence or partial fence). The beagle in him could cause him to "wander" off on an interesting scent!! You really need to meet this boy to see just how happy & bouncy he is - his face ALWAYS has a smile. He will also benefit from some positive reinforcement behavior training which will help him bond with you too. He is currently at 47 lbs. & I think he will stay in that range with his activity level - JUST the PERFECT size to travel with, jog with, PLAY FRISBEE with - he CAN JUMP HIGH for the Frisbee - likes to play with soccer & tennis balls, curl up on the couch with - Come see this sweet guy looking for love.

Lexi

Hey there!! My name is "LEXI"!! I am a 2 1/2 yr. old Rottweiler who is looking for her forever home & family. I used to be almost 100 lbs., but I have been having so much fun running & playing ball that I now have a much more streamlined figure! My foster family thinks that I look like a deer when I run & jump around - I will "play bow" & "sit" for you to throw my tennis ball - all day long if you want!! My foster mom thinks I would be happiest in a home with kids who are in their mid-teens or older, but do NOT roughhouse or tease me - or an all adult home. I need to be guided by quiet, gentle, but firm commands & hand signals- I respond well to that kind of training. I become very uncomfortable & nervous if there is yelling or abrupt movements. But I LOVE being hugged & petted & I could make a GREAT running/jogging partner 'cause I have LOTS of energy to keep up with you. If you think I would be a good fit for you/your family, please come visit me & give me a chance to WOO-WOO you over!! "(*~*)" - dog grin!!

Austin

AUSTIN is an absolutely adorable Aussie who is now about 10 mos. old. He wags ALL OVER when he gets excited, which is frequently!! He is crate-trained, housebroken, but we are still working on some of his more refined manners - like jumping up & counter-surfing! He just LOVES being outside to play, but is still very much puppy & plays too hard sometimes. He definitely needs more work on his leash training & walking, so we are working on that. Austin is a "special needs" pup because he was born deaf, but he already knows the hand signals for sit, off & we are working on quiet, stay & down. We have placed several deaf dogs as well as having our own Aussie who was also deaf from birth, so we have trained ALL our dogs to hand signals & it works beautifully. Comes in very handy sometimes when the humans have to be quiet!! When his pictures go up, you will see what a cute guy he is, with gorgeous markings & ears that flip over halfway when he wiggles around! He would really love to have a forever home & family of his own, he says please come visit him.

Tyler

Tyler is a 10 year old Sheppard � Lab mix. He loves to run and play outside. He is in excellent health; all shots are up to date. Most can�t believe how old he is because he is so full of energy. He has had obedience training. Housebroken, he will let you know when he has to go out; morning, evening and before bed. He prefers women and can be very protective. Small children are not the best fit for Tyler. Tyler will make a great companion.

Samm

Samm's DOB: 10/2005, male, neutered

Samm is a special dog who needs an especially great home! Samm was almost starving when Pups2Luv got him. He barely weighed in at 51 lbs., and for a full-grown adult Rottweiler, that isn't a whole lot. The "people" who had him only threw "some" food in his direction "once in a while", so you can imagine his condition, plus he had tapeworms and his coat was in terrible condition. He was born with DOUBLE dew claws on both back legs - which means he had 8 (EIGHT) toenails on both back legs - something I have never even seen before! Because the dew claws (like thumbs sort of) are positioned on the INSIDE of the legs, Samm had to walk very awkwardly to keep the double dew claws from hooking each other. He was a very sad looking case when he came to us.

Today, Samm is a bouncy, happy, healthy guy, who is just absolutely full of life and love. He thinks he is a 9 mo. old puppy, plays with any toy that will fit into his mouth, follows you everywhere you go - on your left side as requested, takes treats ever-so-gently from your hand (but only after he has gone into an immediate and VERY smart sit!), and goes quite willingly into his crate with only a half of a treat as a reward! He had his double dew claws removed when he was neutered, so he now runs naturally and looks beautiful and free spirited when he gallops around our back yard!

Samm must go into a home that will always treat him with gentle but firm love, consistent and continuing compassion, and give him positive reinforcement and ongoing training to compensate for the horrible mistreatment he suffered. He must always know that love is the way, not abuse nor cruelty - not verbal nor physical mistreatment. In return, you will gain the lifelong love, loyalty and heart of one of the most adoring companions I have ever had the chance to foster - for Samm IS a very special dog.

Samm's most favorite thing is his bedtime treat of 2 scoops of vanilla yogurt!! He runs out the door at 100 mph to the tree stump, wets 3 times, runs back at 150 mph and sits immediately at the counter where I have his "Nilla yogurt" waiting for him!! I can never get by with only 1 scoop, he never budges until he gets 2, then he runs down the hall to his crate for the night!!

Samm gets along well with older children and loves car rides. Samm would do best in an only dog household and one without cats or other small animals.
