(Adopted June 24/14)
Harley
Maltese/poodle
Male/neutered/shots current
8 years old
Harley was born on April 16, 2006; healthy, beautiful, and happy.
He was adopted by a lovely man and his wife who thought they would have many years with Harley, being that he was so young. The man was retired and the wife travels for work so Harley became the man’s dog and definitely his best friend.
In time, the man developed dementia, which limited his independence, and Harley was there to tether him to reality, keep him company, and be there for him during the bad times. Harley adjusted to these changes the best he could.
The man developed a routine of walking to the refrigerator, taking Harley out for “potty”, walking back inside, sitting down, and then repeating this all day long. This way of life was likely quite confusing for Harley but he adjusted the best he could. Then his owner had a stroke and had a leg amputated and everything really changed for him and for Harley.
When he came to us he was quite unsettled and restless. He was also quite frightened and did not leave a crate for over 24 hours. He wouldn’t eat or drink and held in any “business” he might have had. At best we could describe him as being “reserved”.
As we were quite concerned about him, we moved him into a lovely and very special foster home where he had undivided attention of his foster mom and his foster canine sister. He came “alive” in this household. He jumped up onto the sofa and napped, didn’t want his crate, drank three bowls of water in a short amount of time. He was walked and walked and walked. He took a trot around the neighborhood and still would not go to the bathroom. We were told he knew potty commands but with our voices, he was not responsive.
Leaving him outside didn’t help because he only scratched on the door to get back inside. He wouldn’t “go” while on a leash. Also, used to being the only dog in a household he took over the role as the head dog which did not make his foster sister happy and she started hiding under the table.
Sigh. So, back he came to his first foster home and though he whines sometimes and we do not know what that means, he stays outside to do his potty business, he comes when called, he chooses to sleep in a crate during the night, and is silent all night long but still won’t potty on a leash.
It’s
only been a week since he arrived so he is just starting to get his bearings.
That’s pretty normal for many dogs. Harley
is a sweet boy who has been through a lot and is adjusting to life without the
only human he ever knew. He will do
fine in a loving home once he settles in. He misses having someone to love and
cuddle with him. We would like
to see Harley in a home where someone is home most of the time.
He must have a fenced yard in order to be successful with his potty
training.

Andy
Maltese
Male/neutered/shots current
8 years old
5 lbs
Dearest
itty bitty Andy is currently seeking his new forever home. Sadly, his
family ran into very hard luck which forced them to lose their home. Andy
was very loved and cherished and it broke their hearts part with him. He
was an only dog in his past life and will do best with another dog of similar
size since he is fearful of large dogs. He loves to cuddle and follows his
foster mom every where she goes. For some reason he does have a fear
of being picked up, but he snuggles right in once you have him in your arms.
He walks on a leash like a champ and will faithfully use his pee pad if
necessary. Andy doesn't care for all of the fuss at the beauty salon, so
he will need a very patient and understanding groomer to work with him.
Andy loves to wear scarves and sweaters and fine men's wear only please.
He also just had his dental done so his breath smells much better. Do you
need a tiny lap buddy? Andy is your man!! If you have patience and are
that special human for him, he will be you new BFF!!!!
Due
to his tiny size he will need an Adult Home Only

Kody and Kali
Bichon Frise
Male and Female/altered/shots current
6 years old
KALI
- “KODY!!!!! Why did I let you talk me into this very short hair
cut?”
KODY
- "Settle down, Kali. I thought it would great to have a trendy new
hairstyle as we are being considered for a new home. You know, people will think
we’re more hip and it would be cooler during these hot days. It will grow back
just in time for when the weather cools off.”
KALI
- “OK, OK if you say so but never again. I like my long flowing white locks.
It’s so much more feminine.”
KODY
- “Females!!!!”
INTERVIEWER
- “OK you two. Enough of that!!! This conversation is going nowhere so
let me tell the folks what a great pair you are even if you do have a difference
of opinion.”
Kody
and Kali are being rehomed due to their former family relocating and job changes
that caused these two great dogs to be left home alone all day long. They were
loved enough that their former owners want the best for them and someone to be
around more often during the days.
Kody
is a very cuddly dog. He will be constantly around you and wants attention.
He’s good around other dogs and has never shown aggression towards another dog
or person.
Kali
is also very cuddly when you invite her to join you but she can be equally happy
on her own. Kali is always very alert. She hears things even before
Kody some times. She is very sweet and also has never shown any aggression
to other animals or people. Kali ALWAYS will have a toy in her mouth.
She loves her toys and sometimes she will climb into her toy bin and sleep
on top of them. Now there’s a picture.
As
with all Furbaby Rescue adoptions, both dogs are
altered, shots current and microchipped. All you’ll need to do is
provide a good quality food, lots of toys and even more important, love and
affection.

Romeo
Standard Pomeranian
Male/neutered/shots current
9 years old
14 lbs
This
wonderful boy sports the softest coat imaginable! He's a Standard Pom and
weighs about 14 lbs. He loves to nest in your lap as a favorite place to
snuggle. Breakfast and dinner are enthusiastically met with jumping like
he's on a pogostick! It's too cute for words! Romy gets along with other
dogs and has chosen a Dachshund as his pal and grooms him when necessary.
He's
house-trained, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and dental and
he's a very young 9 years old. He's a pretty quiet guy and looking for his
new forever home. Might you be his new BFF?
I'll
be happy to "cat-test" him if you have felines.

Sampson
Chihuahua
Male/neutered/shots current
7 years old
7 lbs
Hmmmmm
- let’s see. What did I do with those notes from the class I took on how to
draft your resume to get the ideal job?? I know it’s here somewhere. I guess I
shouldn’t list “organized” as one of my top 10 traits. Ohhhhh - here it
is. OK let’s start on the resume:
Name:
Sampson
Age:
I don’t think legally they can ask that because it’s considered
discrimination in the job market. But I’m looking for a great home, not the
typical job. Oops - there’s my age up above right under the photo. Yup - the
ideal age if you don’t want to deal with all the puppy training and nonsense
and I’m good for another 100,000 miles at least and with legs as short as
mine, it will take a LONG time go walk 100,000 miles.
Position
applying for: Resident dog
Qualifications:
Sweet, loving, good with dogs of all sizes and cats, too. House trained.
Healthy, neutered (ouch), up to date on all vaccines and recent dental
cleaning.
Salary
requested: Nice lap to cuddle in, good
food, snuggles, toys, respect and companionship.
Why
I think I’m the best dog for that position in your home:
It’s been confirmed by foster mom that I am honest and all statements
above are true. I will be dedicated and yours forever.

Lillianne
Italian Greyhound mix
Female/spayed/shots current
App. 5 years old
8 lbs
Would
someone please explain to me why people get so focused and confused on trying to
figure out my breed? Italian Greyhound? Chihuaua? Mixed breed of both of the
previous mentioned? C’mon people! I’m a purebred sweet dog! What else
matters? I promise I won’t try and figure out your breed if you adopt me.
*chuckle”
I’ve
had a good life so far but it’s another one of those stories where I’m in
rescue due to circumstances beyond the human’s control. Foster mom can share
more information if you’re really interested. Meanwhile, I’m moving forward.
First on the agenda is I will be brought up to date at the vet so when
I’m adopted, everything is current. No worries for you, if you adopt me of
course. We can just start playing and building our life together.
Oh,
you want to know about my personality? I might be a bit timid at first but it
won’t take any time at all before I’ll be very attached to you. I’d love
to share walks with you and whenever you wish, I’d love to be carried.
That’s not a big deal at my current weight of 8 pounds. I’d love watching TV
with you if that’s part of your life. I’m not particular as long as I can be
near you. I mean that’s why people adopt dogs isn’t it? To have
companionship?
One
last request, I like little dogs my size but please no large dogs in my new
home.
Want
to know more? Just talk to my foster mom and she’ll share everything else she
knows about me.
See
you at a meet and greet date???? I sure hope so.

Gracie
Pekinese
Female/spayed/shots current
8 years old
16 lbs
Gracie's the most adorable, easy going little 8 year old Pekingese whose Dad passed away. She has been enjoying her life to the fullest in her foster home, but she is ready to go to her forever home.
Gracie is very funny and has a very playful personality, but she's also very Pekingese and is only willing to exert so much energy, and on her terms, lol.
She loves walks, trips to the dog park and swimming. She gets along with the resident dogs really well, but isn't afraid to let them know when she wants her own space. She's cat friendly, so long as the cat is willing to play.
Gracie is a total snuggle-bug. She loves to sleep with (or on top of) you and is completely toilet trained.
Gracie was obviously extremely well-loved and is totally well-adjusted. She does well in any environment. She will be the perfect dog for someone who can love her and understand her funny Peke personality.

Einstein
Havanese X
Male/neutered/shots current
8 years old
21 lbs
Einstein recently lost their dad, who succumbed to a 15 month health battle. He had rescued them from a shelter 3 years ago, as a bonded pair. Now they are looking for a new forever home. This boy is obviously very resilient; he is not nervous or skeptical of anyone, he loves everyone he meets! He gets along extremely well with the resident Peke's, and a shepherd - he is not phased by anything.
Einstein should have been called Romeo - he is such a lover. He nuzzles and snuggles every chance he gets, and will sneak up on your bed to sleep right next to you if you let him. He is a perfect balance of loving and independence. He's a terrific eater, and loves to roll around with some toys once in a while.
He had dental done recently, resulting in some extractions, but he is doing amazing and eating again with no problems. He has seen the veterinarian for very thorough examinations and is in excellent health!
He loves to take short walks on leash, and really enjoy the off leash park.
This
boy is an absolute dream to care for, perfectly housebroken. He will
fit in to a loving environment very quickly.

Sabrina
Cockapoo
Female/spayed/shots current
10 years old
24 lbs
If
you can look into the eyes of this sweet dog and quickly move on, we’ll be
surprised. Even if the eyes don’t grab your heart, the glowing report of
Sabrina’s personality and behavior will win you over. Poor Sabrina has had a
rough few years and yet she still has so much love to give and has proven that
to her foster mom and family. Let’s just say her previous owner has aged not
so gracefully and caused some difficulties for Sabrina. If you’re interested
in further details, the foster mother will gladly communicate with you.
BUT
THE BEST NEWS IS - the foster mom says that Sabrina is one of THE BEST fosters
all the way around that they have ever had. The foster dad agrees and the men
don’t speak all that often with an opinion on foster dogs. Sabrina was really
shy and fearful at first because of the home she just came from. It took one
whole day - ONE WHOLE DAY :-) - before she realized that there are still good
men in the world and she warmed up to the entire family. Sabrina loves the other
dogs, the people who surround her and she is definitely a snuggler. Sabrina
recently went on a family trip and proved that she is amazing in the car. She
loves to walk and earns an A+ in walking on a leash. She does do OK left at home
alone with the other dogs but her super enthusiasm when the family returns shows
that she’d probably rather go with her humans.
Here
comes the big question that everyone always wants to know. Is she housebroken?
Foster mom wrote a glowing report that she is absolutely house broken and again,
one of the best they’ve ever had. Lastly, foster mom reported that Sabrina is
going to make someone a “great FUR-ever companion.”
Sabrina had dental work, she did not lose any teeth, and her bloodwork came back
perfect, everyone is in awe, that she is actually 10 years old.

Skippy
Bichon Frise
Male/neutered/shots current
10 years old
16 lbs
Skippy is a dear little Bichon who lost his owner due to health issues and was fortunate to have a Good Samaritan who had his back. She kept him until we could find a foster home for him.
Now that he’s been with his current foster family, he has had some minor health issues taken care and most certainly had his teeth cleaned up. He’s in great shape now and ready to find his forever home.
Skippy’s foster mom describes what the perfect home would be for him to be most successful:
“I
think Skippy would do well in a home with either a single person or an older
family who is interested in a sweet, quiet dog; who is not very active.
He definitely loves attention and will take as much attention as his
people will give. But he also is able to settle down and lie comfortably on his
own while the family does their thing. I know his past care giver
had young kids and said
that all the activity seemed a bit too much for him.
I don't believe he is afraid of children as he seems interested in them
when we are at the park across the street, but he just wouldn't have the energy
to have them play with them that much. I do think he would really enjoy a home
with another dog, as well, if possible, especially if he would be left alone for
long periods during the day. His
bathroom habits have straightened right out and he has a strong bladder so he
has done fine when we leave him at home alone with the other dogs. Such a
gentleman!
Loves to snuggle and be near you whenever you're in the house. He also gets along great with our two dogs and even tries to play gently with them. He loves to take (slow) walks on a leash and is gentle when meeting other dogs and people. He rides very quietly in the car and although he would love to sleep in bed with his people, he has accepted sleeping in his own bed on the floor in our bedroom.
He came to us with residual flea irritation but all of that has cleared up. He has a slight heart murmur as is common in an older dog but his Senior Blood Panel came back great and the vet has no concerns about him.
Skippy
is an adorable little fellow and we are SO happy we could take him in.

Miss Marples
Chihuahua
Female/spayed/shots current
8 years old
5 lbs
What
can we say...this little one could not be a sweeter dog. Miss Marple is a
very quiet, loving, snuggly girl. She is outgoing, happy
and eager to please. She does love to nap! and going on short walks
are a big plus. She loves adventures and would enjoy going with you on
outings, but is happy to wait at home for you too. She is potty trained
and gets along well with dogs of all sizes, and cats too, She loves
men and women alike.
Although
she lived in the same family since just a wee one, her teeth were
not well cared for and alas, she has no teeth left. A little tongue
to the side, makes for some adorable character! Oh.. and she is a smiler!
Who does not love that!
This
is a perfect little dog, let us know if you would like to meet her?
