Gretchen
Mixed breed |F| Menomonie, WI
"Let's get right to it... Have you ever seen teefers as cute as mine?! My name is Gretchen and I am about 1.5 years old and 53 pounds. Now that we know I'm absolutely the cutest let's get into the less interesting stuff. According to my last home I am crate and potty trained, I love to run around in a fenced yard (my nose will likely take me on adventures alone if I'm let loose), I love any treats, and I have been around a variety of ages of people but I can be very timid at first so mature children are preferred. I look forward to meeting you and having a lap to lay my head on.♥"

Lex
Boxer |M| Shakopee, MN
"This handsome dude's name is Lex and he just arrived at his Illinois foster home and is getting acquainted with his foster mom and dad. Lex is good with other dogs and friendly with new people. He is on medications for seizures and is a pretty laid back guy for his age. He is housebroken and crate trained and loves nothing more than to snuggle with his people.5/23 UPDATE: Lex has settled in very well at his foster home. We continue to work on getting his medications tweaked just right as he does have a few breakthrough seizures every now and then. He is has put on weight....a little bit too much LOL...so foster mom and dad are working on that now :) He is a champ at the vet and is an all around pretty good boy. "

I will try to begin updating this blog soon but health issues have kind of consumed all my time and energy so it won't be as frequent as I'd originally hoped when first starting it
That being said, I would LOVE submissions, whether they be from petfinder or not
And for your silly dog needs
@odddogs is a wonderful blog that's frequently updated

Brody, Corgi/Dachshund mix (2 y/o), South End Ave. & Liberty St., New York, NY • “He’s a rescue from Henderson, NC. I slept in my car at the shelter to get him. He’s always in first position (i.e. ballet). He’s also a counter surfer – though he’s usually an inch too short to get up. He did get a plate of bacon the other day.”

Shamus
Cur/terrier |M| Panasoffkee, FL
Shamus is 6 yrs, 32lbs, cur/terrier, loves other dogs cats and kids. Here's his bio: "Hey, my name is Shamus. I'm sweet as pie and love cuddles. I get along well with other dogs. I'm friendly with kids and cats as well. My old owner adopted me as a little tiny puppy from the Humane Society about 6 years ago, but then one day she just dumped me at someone else's house and left me there! I was so confused! I love to run and play tug! I'm hoping I can find my real forever home now!"
This is a courtesy post submitted to me, not a petfinder dog. The shelter website for this guy is www.yhsspca.org/adopt

Neville
Dachshund X Labrador Retriever |M| Portland, OR
"Neville is a 1 year old, red smooth, 45 lb, standard dachshund/lab mix. He's super sweet, loves to cuddle, has worked with a trainer and knows commands and is potty trained. He's neutered, fully vetted, and travels well in the car. Neville has nipping history, chases livestock and farm animals, he is not dog friendly, does NOT like to be disturbed while napping or sleeping. No other dogs, cats, or kids please. He may be jealous of owner, wants to protect you. He is kennel trained and leash trained, but tends to pull. With a little help and continued training he will become a great member of the family, just needs a chance!"

Maximilian
Pitbull terrier X mastiff |M| Carrollton, TX
"At first glance, Maximilian is about 50% ears, 48% legs, and 2% dog. Maximilian is not only your BFF and ready to go on all the cool trips with you, but his satellite ears make for great conversation with any space enthusiast. His gangly legs fold into almost any position when he's excited and springing to get attention, making him a walking pretzel. Maximillian gets soooo happy any time he see's someone pass by, that his tail is always wagging.
One of our favorite things about Maximilian is his floppy ears. One of our staff members says, "Max's ears - seriously they can add a little bit of happiness to anyone's day. They flip, flop, and flap every way!" He loves all varieties of snacks and treats and indulging this foodie is the fastest way to his heart. Maximilian LOVES his food enrichment activities like his frozen Kongs and puzzle bowls.
Despite being a big boy (at over 70lbs!), Maximilian thinks he is just a little lap dog - he loves to give kisses and hugs! He is a friend to all he meets and loves covering you in kisses. Maximilian enjoys playing with his people friends, preferring most of all tug and romping around with squeaky toys. He knows how to "sit" when asked and is working on his leash skills. Once he is out of his kennel, he settles well for naps (he does snore!)."

Mr. Snuffleufagus
Mixed Breed |M| Tucson, AZ
"Snuffy is the sweetest happiest guy. As the name implies he does snore like a freight train but you can't help but laugh at his antics. His tail never stops wagging. He loves other dogs and is fostering in a home with kiddos and cats and does just fine with everyone."

Olive
Miniature poodle |F| Warwick, NY
"One of 43 dogs rescued from house fire and hoarding situation with most matted, dirty and under-socialized. All are not house-trained.
A sweet spunky senior who can hold her own at dinnertime when eating among other dogs. She has a heart murmur, is missing 1/2 of her lower jaw and so craves someone who will truly care for and love her"

Daisy
Chihuahua X Terrier |F| Castle Rock, CO
"Looking for a pocket dog - a little one that just wants to be held all the time. Daisy may be the perfect fit! Who can blame her for wanting attention? She was one of 30 dogs taken from an abandoned house in south Texas. It did not appear that most of the dogs got much interaction with humans so now that she has learned how wonderful humans can be, she wants to be near one all the time! She would love to have her own human! Daisy is about 4 years old and weighs 6 lb"

Nikki
Labrador Retriever |F| Camano Island, WA
"Nikki is a sweet energetic 6 yr old black lab with lots of love to give. She came to the shelter after a lifelong battle with skin issues. It took a few weeks for Nikki to truly open up to us. You could tell that her skin was sensitive and that she was really uncomfortable. The day she arrived we started daily medicated baths and started trying out high quality limited ingredient diets. After long stints of antibiotics, retesting skin samples and lab work, trial and error with controlled diet options she did improve greatly and became much more comfortable in her skin. In the end we did need to move her to an RX hydrolyzed dog food and a daily medication called Atopica for allergy prevention in order to get the best outcome for Nikki. It took some time, but we noticed that as her skin healed and some hair grew back her true personality came out too. Due to long term skin infection a lot of Nikki's skin is permanently damaged and is not capable of growing hair anymore. This really is just an ongoing reminder of the hurdles she had made it through and shows how resilient she truly is. They say that scars on people tell a story of our strength and animals are no different.
Today Nikki is basking us in her happiness and is a very goofy lady! One of her favorite things is long walks in the warm weather. She is not a fan of the cold though and may need some fleece lined coats to stay warm but not rub on her skin uncomfortably. She loves to carry her favorite ball everywhere she goes and has an adorable bounce in her step. She loves people of all ages and has lived with children before. Nikki has done well with some of our like-sized dogs here at the shelter, but a meet and greet is always required with any resident dogs in the home to make sure both parties are on board and their personalities mesh."

Winston
Giant Schnauzer X Irish Wolfhound |M| Walker, LA
"Winston is a 2 year old, male Giant Schnauzer/Irish Wolfhound mix that weighs 55 pounds.
Energetic! Playful! Smart! Big personality and fun to be around. Loves people! A tired dog is a good dog with this one. He is looking for an active home where he can spend his days adventuring life with his family. He loves to run and romp and play on the daily, so a fully fenced yard is a must."
