Nicholas
("Nicks") is neutered male, weighs about 85 pounds, and was
5 years old in January 2006. He is microchipped, HW negative and
on preventative and UTD on vaccinations. Nicks is house and
crate-trained, walks on a leash OK with a pinch collar, sits,
and comes. Nicks likes to run and needs a yard with a physical
fence because he is too strong willed for an electric fence; he
needs a regular routine of running time to be happy. He will
track/chase birds as they fly then yap at them when they get
beyond the reach of the fence. Nicks is a bit too interested in
my cat, but hasn't done anything aggressive. Because of his
interest in small wild critters and the intense focus he has
when chasing them, he should not be outside a fenced area
without a leash. Nicks is an affectionate boy; he likes hugs,
ear rubs, and will try to crawl in your lap. He likes to lay his
chin and neck on your chest and have his face petted. Formal
obedience training is recommended to help hasten the bond
between Nicks and his person. Nicks would do best with adults.
Nicks is in foster care in central Florida Contact

CLANCY is a typical, active 4 year-old. He is
housebroken, has always lived as a house dog and has had
good care. Birthdate is 10/22/03. He's good with kids, fine
with female dogs, but not all male dogs. Loves to go for
walks and car rides. He's good at entertaining himself
throwing his stuffies around and catching them in the air.
He'll counter-surf if given the opportunity to grab
something he just can't resist. He needs a fenced yard with
room to exercise. Clancy is near Tallahassee. Contact
Bonnie.

PATCH is very people oriented and would do well as a
family dog, particularly with kids who would like to play ball
with him in the yard. He's a little shy at first, but then
he'll follow you everywhere. He's ok on a leash and has had some
training. He's very smart, sits on command and learned the
doggie door during the first day in his foster home. He's ok
with other dogs if they're not dominant over him, and he needs
to be fed separately from other dogs. He is the smaller
field-bred type, around 45 pounds. Birthdate: 7/20/06. One of
his favorite sports is chasing lizards in the bushes around the
house. Patch is located north of Tampa, FL. Contact Bonnie at

Rocky is 8 years old and was born in Portugal, but from
American show lines. How he made his way to Florida is a
mystery. He recently survived a bad case of kennel cough and
then pneumonia at the city shelter in Jacksonville. But he's
recovered now and is happy to be in a foster home near
Jacksonville. He's still pretty weak and needs to regain some
muscle tone, but he still has many years ahead and needs a good
home where he'll get the exercise he needs. He's a sweetheart
and a real gentleman and walks very well on a leash. Contact

I'm Red Baron, an 8 year old neutered male
Irish boy. I was left at a shelter 'cause I kept taking off when
I was left outside - well, duh, no fence, what do you expect?? I
have been treated for heartworms - and I'm now on monthly
preventative. I'm up-to-date on vaccinations, house-trained, and
good with cats. I'm a strong boy - and need work on the leash. I
absolutely adore squeaky toys - my favorites are Mr. Purple and
Nemo the stuffed fish. One of my hips is not quite right - the
head and socket don't fit perfectly - and I have arthritis in my
lower back, so I'm on joint supplements. Dr. Bob the doggy
ophthalmologist said I don't have much vision in my left eye due
to retinal degeneration, but that the right eye is doing fine.
Foster mom makes sure to turn on the lights on the stairs at
night. I get around really well, go up and down stairs, and can
really move out when I want to. I get along OK with the other
dogs -- but really don't play with them, so I would be fine as
an only dog. I'm looking for a furever family that will give me
a safe, secure yard to romp in, provide squeaky toys and arm
strength to toss them for me, and take me on walks to promote
joint health. Are you the one for me? Red Baron is in foster
care near Raleigh, NC. Contact Bonnie.

I'm Bella and I’m 9 years young. I've had multiple
litters of puppies – but no more of that nonsense 'cause
I've been spayed. I'm current on vaccinations, house- and
crate-trained, heartworm negative (on monthly preventative),
and microchipped. I have hypothyroidism, so I'm taking daily
hormone replacement and doing well. I have a delicate build,
weigh about 55 pounds, and a have a cute ridge of hair
running down my nose. Don't let the gray on my face fool you
– I am an active girl who loves to play, pounce, and share
what I'm thinking. Foster mom says I'm a real sweetheart,
even though I talk back. I like to snuggle and be petted. I
will gently remind you that I'm there and if you're not
doing something with that hand - 'PET ME'! I like playing
and wrestling with other dogs. I also do OK with kitties.
I've had a bit of a rough time – I had to have surgery to
remove 6 tumors from my mammary glands and had 2 teeth
extracted too. Thank goodness the rescue people were there
to take care of me! I'm looking for a family that will give
me all the petting and snuggles I need, routinely check me
for lumps, provide a couch for naps, and have a nice fenced
yard for romping around in. Bella is in foster care near
Raleigh, NC. Contact Bonnie.

I'm Pete and I was 3 years old in February (DOB: Feb.
16, 2005). I'm a tall boy and my coat color is a lighter
shade of red and I can grow a lot of it! I'm neutered,
up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on
preventative, and microchipped. I'm house and crate-trained
and ride well in a car. I have a history of going under a
split-rail with wire fence and going on adventures - so now
that I know I can do that, I need a home with a very sturdy
fence, like a wood privacy fence. I know sit and come - and
I'm working on my manners. I get pawsy when I'm excited. I
do well with older children - but sometimes I don't realize
how big I am and can accidentally knock them down. I have
been having fun with the resident red dogs - and it's nice
being able to run in a secure yard. The exercise will help
get me in shape. I'm very good with other dogs and
with cats. I would like a home with people that have a
sturdy fence and will spend lots of time working and playing
with me. Are you the humans for me? I'm in foster care near
Raleigh, NC. Contact Bonnie at
MegOwnsMe@aol.com or by phone 352-821-2155. |

MISTY i
I'm Misty, but I prefer to be called "Her Royal Highness".
My birthday is March 04, 2001 and I have an impressive
pedigree. I'm up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm
negative and on prevention, and crate- and house-trained.
And my feathers are finally starting to grow out! When the
rescue people found out I had diabetes, they wanted the best
for me because I'm such a special girl, so I got to go on a
plane ride from Oklahoma to reach my foster home near
Raleigh. Guess what! My cousin Danny lives there, too!
There are benefits - and disadvantages - of living with a
vet when you have a medical challenge (they can be so-o-o
strict). I'm on a restricted diet (Prescription w/d) and
receive insulin injections twice-a-day. Foster mom also
checks my blood glucose levels - yep, I have my own special
doggy glucose meter. Anyway, my diabetes is under control,
my weight is stable (when I was diagnosed, I weighed 42
pounds - I now weigh a svelte 63) and I'm looking for a
fur-ever home. I'm a sweet girl, and my favorite thing is
to snuggle with foster mom on the couch and have all the
other dogs pay homage (Danny just glares - I think he's
jealous). I'm a talker and will let you know if you're not
paying enough attention to me. I also like to give kisses
to show my appreciation. I enjoy going to the doggy
supermarket - the people there tell me how wonderful and
gorgeous I am. And, of course, I get lots of petting.
Foster mom says my new home should not have kitties because
I'm cat aggressive - but other dogs are OK. I prefer to be
with people, but I need a fenced yard to play and romp in.
My new family needs to give me my insulin and restricted
diet, and take me to the vet regularly to assess how my
blood glucose control is doing. Are you the family for
me?? Contact Bonnie at
MegOwnsMe@aol.com or by phone at 352-821-2155.

BAILEY...aka "sweet, sweet baby doll" is an 8 year old
looking for her forever home. She's in good health; blood lab
results were good. She loves the attention she's getting from
her foster mom, and she's doing well with the 3 boy Setters in

get into mischief in the house when left alone. She likes to
ride in the car. She's used to and is good with children. She's
ok with cats. She likes to go for walks but she pulls some on
the leash. She comes when called, and doesn't have a problem if
you need to take something away from her. Bailey is in foster

KELLY, 4 to 6 year old female Irish. Foster mom
says...what a great dog! She's friendly and outgoing, good
with other dogs and ok with cats as long as she is out of
her kennel (she's possessive of her kennel if a cat walks
by). She was surrendered to Tulsa Animal Control, no reason
given. She was matted so some of her hair had to be shaved
off, but she'll have a long coat. She's in good health; vet
report looks good. She's good in the house and is well
behaved. She's one of the few Irish kids we've had in the
last dozen years who gives you a big smile when you talk to
her....and she'll talk right back to you! She's a happy dog
and her tail is always wagging. She runs after the squirrels
and watches Louie the cat walk the top of the fence. Loves
the kids too. She's a big girl, slightly overweight at
present at 77 pounds. Kelly is in foster care in Tulsa, OK.

South Carolina
Logan was found as a stray near Columbia, South
Carolina. He's approximately two years old. He's a good
boy, fun and very sweet. He's crate and house trained,
gentle with treats, ok on a leash. He particularly likes
men. He's good with other dogs, on the submissive side, so
we don't want to place him where there is a serious alpha
dog who will intimidate him. He listens well in the house,
but if he has a chance to run outside a fenced yard, you'll
have trouble getting him to come back. A secure fence tight
to the ground is needed for Logan. He's in foster care in
York, SC. Contact Bonnie at
MegOwnsMe@aol.com or by phone at 352-821-2155

My name is Mr. Bailey, as my foster mom calls me. I'm
what some may call a senior at 9 years of age, but at times I
act like a young boy. I am current on all my shots and on
heartworm preventative. I get along fine with cats and am crate
trained. I have been in my foster home for over 2 months and it
did take a little time to adjust, but now I play with the other
resident red dogs outside. I may not play all the time cause I
do like my rest times, but when I do play I have fun! I really
would like to have a home with another dog so I can have a
friend and someone to play with. A fenced yard is best for me to
run and play in. Foster Mom has a 4 foot fence and I do just
fine with it. My foster Mom tried to do one of those invisible
barrier things and I went right past it. I do have a full coat
so in the summer I really need to have a summer hair cut so I
don't get too hot when I'm outside. I really like to have my
ears, neck and tummy rubbed. Most of the time when you rub my
ears Foster Mom says I make these funny groaning noises cause it
feels so good, and then I want to play mouth games with you. I
really am a loving guy and love to have attention. Do you think
you fit the bill to give me a good and loving home? Bailey is
near Spartanburg, SC. Contact Bonnie at
MegOwnsMe@aol.com or by phone at 352-821-2155. |

CHARITY: Charity was 6 years old in July of '06. She has
been living
in the same home with Lani (see listing). She is a sweet girl
with a
very bouncy, out-going personality. She likes to run and play
and chase
toys, but also will relax with her people. Although initial
contact in
foster care had her getting along with other dogs, time proved
that she
is quite pushy and probably shouldn't be in a home with other
dogs
except Lani. She also comes with the reputation of not being
trustworthy with small pets of other species.

CHELSEA: Chelsea is a sweet girl who turned 5 years old
in January 2007.
She loves to be with people and gets along with some other dogs
once she
isn't frightened of them. She can be apprehensive of unknown
people, but
once you play her favorite game (chasing the light beam on a
flashlight)
she will be your friend.
