Meet Rey! She is a 7.5 year old malamute. She was surrendered to a CVT in Wisconsin because her previous owners wanted to euthanize her. She needed to have an exploratory surgery performed. She had the surgery done where a small kids toy was taken out. This is not her first offense, when left alone she likes to eat things she should not. She needs to be kenneled when left alone. We had intestinal biopsies done and it is more than likely she has IBD. She needs to eat a gastrointestinal diet and have a probiotic daily. Since surgery she has been doing great!

Wolf - 851
Wolf is a 5 year old male that was seized for animal cruelty/abuse, and spent a few long months in a shelter as 'evidence'. He has now been happily
released to rescue, and is doing well in his foster home despite the abuse in his past. He would love a home where someone is home quite a bit to give him the attention he deserves. Probably no small children, as he is a BIG fellow that could easily knock them over. Adopted September 2016

Treva is about 2 - 3 years old and came to us from KY with her brother Taylor who has since been adopted. She is very sweet, and initially was quite shy but has made great strides. Once she gets to know you, she is all wiggles and kisses. Treva *loves* tennis balls and knows some basic commands. Any problems Treva has with dogs are initially fear based, but she is slowly blossoming into a very social girl and would do well with the right doggie companion. Adopted February 2016
Cain - 838
Cain was picked up as a stray, and was not reclaimed by his owners. He is around 4 years old and is a very sweet boy, who initially was diagnosed with ehrlichia but was treated and is now very active. His foster reports that he has no food guarding tendencies, and seems to have no aggressive tendencies toward other dogs, male or female. He loves to play, and is fairly rambunctious - he needs a LOT of exercise and loves to run for miles. Bicycling is easier than walking him right now as long walks aren't enough. Adopted January 2016
Gracie - 837
Gracie was surrendered to a local animal control. She is about 4 months old and all malamute in attitude. This is a very busy pup and not for the mal-uninitiated. She is currently being fostered by a very mal experienced family that has two other dogs. She is mostly house broken, doing pretty well with her crate training, has some basic idea of sit and (sometimes) come. She is very puppy and rather than a speed control, she's got an on/off switch. Her foster big brothers think that she's a bit much at times & the cats are less then thrilled with her exuberance. She is very sweet, wiggly, and always happy to see you. Adopted January 2016
