Happy Endings:

Dogs adopted in calendar year 2008:

MOOSE

This big handsome fellow is  about 2 years old, and a total sweetie! He is a BIG and STRONG boy tho - and needs some training! He is friendly and outgoing - too strong for small kids tho, he would knock them flat in play. So far he has been reasonable with friendly female dogs.  

Moose found his furever home in April!

MOXIE

Several dozen malamutes were seized on neglect charges in South Dakota recently. Moxie is one of them. She is 3+ years old, and is the most malnourished of the bunch.  All the dogs are in need of socialization, it is apparent they got NOTHING in their former place.  Physically they are coming along, but still need some emotional help.

Demon is a very happy fellow, that lives peacefully with a female mal and older kids. Can you give this smiley fellow his "furever"  home?

ANDY

Andy is a VERY sweet boy, about 2 years old. He was being transferred from a high kill rural pound to a low kill shelter, when it was discovered he was HW positive, and could not be accepted by the shelter. So Andy came to us. He is a malamute-anatolian/ mix. He is a WONDERFUL boy, very loving and friendly. We felt he didn't deserve to die, just because some human failed to give him his monthly preventative. CAN YOU HELP WITH ANDY'S HEARTWORM TREATMENT? Our thanks to Mitch for helping Andy, in honor of Vincent and Molly, and in loving memory of Eiko...and also our thanks to the Atkins family for helping Andy, in honor of Lacey and in loving memory of Andie.  Andy is totally healthy now, and what a great boy!

LUCKY

Lucky is a very loving and affectionate 7-8 year old male. He loves to give kisses, and run and play in the yard! This handsome boy is housetrained, knows basic commands, and walks well on a leash. No small kids tho - even for his age, he is a rambunctious fellow! Older kids would be fine. This is true of ALL big dogs - they can easily knock over a small child. Lucky likes kids, but acts like a young dog for his age :)

Nakita (KiKi) is a darling 5 month old girl with a big temperament...the shelter would only release her to a knowledgeable rescue because she had severe food aggression/resource guarding issues. She is just a pup, and these issues can be overcome with patience and training. However, she is best suited for a malamute experienced home with no young children.

Toothless Tessie (she isn't really toothless, but is missing a few in front) is a darling, and sad, mature girl that was out of time in an Ohio pound. Our thanks to PJ and her BigDogs, for helping with Tessie's medical needs! Tessie was very sick when she came to us.  We think she is around 5-7 years old. She is a sweetheart, a pleaser, and missing a few teeth doesn't hamper her ability to eat - we don't think she knew what treats were - but she does now!
