Blazer
Tyson

"BLAZER" is a wonderfully, sweet guy whose family lost their home & had to return him to "Pups". They were broken-hearted, but had to give him back afte they had adopted him from us when he was a young 8 wk. old puppy. Blazer does not look or act like he's 10 yrs. old, he's active, affectionate & loving. Up to date on all shots, vet checked & healthy, he's housebroken & well-behaved in the house & on the leash. He loves to go for car rides & visit other people & other dogs, he's good with kids, too. He is excellent on his potty traiining & goes immediately whether he's on leash or loose in the fenced back yard. Blazer has many great years & lots of love left to give to his new family & home - please give him a chance, he will win your heart in a minute!!

Fred
Tyson

"FRED" is a sweet, loving lady Boxer who needs a new home because her mom had to take a new job with very long hours & travel involved. Her owner feels she is no longer getting the love & attention she is used to & deserves to have. Fred is only 9 years young & her mom feel she is an "incredible" dog - devoted, loving & extremely smart! Being a typical Boxer, she is sweet-tempered, LOVES attention & thinks she's a lap dog. She is aging very well, has lots of energy & loves long walks. Her hearing isn't as acute as it used to be which turns out well if a doorbell rings! She has always been more of a "people" dog, most content interacting with people - several years ago she even worked as a therapy dog in retirement & convalescent homes to visit with the patients. She loved the attention & the patients loved her right back! "Fred" would be best in an adult home as an only dog as she has gotten "cranky" around other dogs, probably not willing to share the attention (or food) she loves so much. She's happiest being petted or curling up & napping next to you. She's in terrific shape & only a touch of gray around her muzzle gives you a hint that she's an "older woman". Please give this wonderful girl many more years to share her love & devotion with you!!

Smoke

SMOKE - Yup, it's me, the "original" Smoke - I just have more character now with my new ear clip!! I'm still as loving, fun, happy-go-lucky as I ever was. I JUST LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to play ball with ANY kind of ball - soccer, tennis, rubber, Kong, baskeball, funny bounces ones - you throw it, I'll get it!! I'll even try to carry 2 at a time in my mouth!! I do not like to be crated, but prefer to spend ALL my time by your side, esp. if you are on the computer - my spot is to your side just in case you might want to reach out & snuggle with me. If you want a gal to follow you everywhere, THAT'S ME!! My downfall is cars, I just want to go in everyone that I see, so I get very excited & try to get in ALL of them. But my foster mom is working very hard to correct that behavior. I need a 5' - 6' privacy fence to play in as I am really long & lanky - but I never like being outside without my humans for company - they are too much fun!!

Samm
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.
