Adopted – Congrats!

Rascal

Breed (best guess): Wire Haired Jack Russell Terrier mix
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birthdate: 9/25/2020
Size: 18 pounds
Good With Kids: unknown
Good With Cats: Yes
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Rascal needs to be in a home with a patient, loving family. We’re not sure about his past but whatever happened to him has resulted in some anxiety. He needs to learn that his family won’t abandon him and will love him forever. He would probably be best as the only dog in the home. His handler says Rascal is a very sensitive dog that listens well and loves people, particularly older people. He might even make a good therapy dog for a person that is willing to take him to training.

Additional Information: Rascal was found as a stray and brought to us by a good samaritan. He is working on his commands and knows Sit, Stay, Leave It and Come. He is working on the Down command. He is good on a leash and doesn’t seem to be destructive when left out.

Jax

Breed (best guess): Alaska Border Collie
Breed Information: Border Collies are very intelligent and energetic. They are high drive and require daily exercise beyond a quick walk.
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: June 1, 2022
Size: currently 23 pounds but he’s still growing. We estimate he’ll be under 50 pounds when full grown
Good With Kids: Yes, older children will be better since he is a herding breed
Good With Cats: Yes but he will chase them (again, he’s a herder)
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: In progress
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Jax requires an active family that will provide him with a fair amount of regular exercise and mental stimulation. We require an experienced dog owner for him, preferably someone familiar with Border Collies or Cattle Dogs. He will greatly benefit from obedience classes. Since he is a puppy and is still working on his house training, we prefer a home where he is not left alone for long periods of time.

Additional Information: Jax was surrendered to us through no fault of his own. His family didn’t have time for him. Since he is a working dog, he has a lot of energy and needs plenty of activity. He has some mild separation anxiety and will bark when left alone. He has experienced a lot of change in the last month and will relax once he is in his forever loving home. He is a smart dog and is learning sit and down commands and how to walk on a leash.

Otis

Breed (best guess): Shih Tzu/Yorkie Mix
Sex: Male, neutered
Birth Date: 6/26/2020
Size: 15 pounds
Good With Kids: Yes
Good With Cats: Unknown
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Otis likes to be the center of attention and he loves meeting new people. Every new person he meets means there is a chance for pets, kisses, and a warm lap. Otis came from a home with a fenced in yard where he loved going outside to play. If his new family doesn’t have a fence, we recommend taking Otis to obedience classes where he can learn to walk on a leash.

Additional Information: Otis spent his life in a loving home. He was recently “inherited” from a family member when they passed away. The owner’s current dog did not appreciate Otis or his energy level so he was surrendered to ADOPT. His family was incredibly sorry to have to let him go. Due to Otis’ breed, he will require regular grooming.

Bruno

Breed (best guess): Hound/Shepherd Mix
Sex: Male, neutered
Age: About 6 months old
Size: 25 pounds, we estimate that he will be less than 45 pounds full grown
Good With Kids: Yes, but over 10 years old would be best
Good With Cats: Yes
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Bruno will need a home with patience while he settles in. He is nervous around men but is fine with them once he gets to know them. He would love a yard with tennis balls and another dog to play with.

Additional Information: Bruno loves kids and other dogs. He was tested with cats, chickens, and guinea pigs but chased a rabbit when it ran. Sounds like he will fit in almost anywhere! Bruno is learning how to walk on a leash so continued obedience training is recommended. He is learning some new commands from his handler (sit, stay, down, leave it and come) and is doing really well.

Mars

Breed: Mixed. Mars’ DNA test shows that he is 21% Labrador Retriever, 28% American Pit Bull Terrier, 15% American Staffordshire Terrier, 9% English Springer Spaniel, 6% Golden Retriever, 6% Chow Chow, 6% German Shepherd, 2% Siberian Husky, 2% Boxer, 2% Bulldog, 1% American Bulldog, 1% Alaskan Malamute, 1% Chihuahua
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: 8/2021
Size: 70 pounds
Good With Kids: Unknown, so children over 10 years.
Good With Cats: Unknown
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Mars loves being around people and making new friends of the human and canine variety.  He loves being outside and would love to have his own yard to hang out in!  He loves being with his people and doesn’t like being left alone for long periods of time.

Additional Information: Mars is a very friendly, wiggly dog. We had a hard time getting him to sit still for photos! He is a very smart boy and is doing very well on his Sit, Stay, Down, Leave It and Come commands. Consistency and continued training will be necessary. He doesn’t really know how big he is but feels he can fit in anyone’s lap. We don’t think Mars ever had a loving home and family. Time, patience, and training will be necessary. Mars is going to be a great addition to the right family.
