Luke

Paws in Prison

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luke came to us with his sister, London.  They were surrendered because their owner had too many dogs.  He looks like a Black Mouth Cur/Shepherd Mix to us.  He is a very active and playful dog and needs a place to run and play with people who will give him lots of attention.  He loves human interaction. He does not like cats but is good with most other dogs. He is a little afraid of small children with all of their fast movements and loud noises, but older kids/calmer kids would be ok.  Luke is eager to please and just wants a person to love on him and be with him all the time.  He will make a great companion dog for someone or a family.  He is just now a year old and weighs 45lbs.

**Luke was enrolled in the Paws in Prison Program for 8 weeks of obedience training. He will be at the North Central Unit in Calico Rock. He is now crate trained, has manners, and knows  a lot tricks as well!

**Update from the PIP trainer: Luke has demonstrated basics and more advanced training besides 20+ tricks. His handlers say that he is “well mannered, a love bug, and a dog that loves attention.”

Luke graduated the program on Sept 17th, but has not been claimed yet! If you are interested in meeting him, please contact us!

Rocco

Rocco is sweet, calm and affectionate. He enjoys exploring and playing with toys, but is pretty laid back. Rocco was dumped in a park with his 5 brothers and was in a home until we could take him at the shelter. He has never been outside, so he is litter box trained. He could be an indoor/outdoor cat, after he gets comfortable with his new home. Rocco is also neutered and current on shots. He is about a year old and is on the bigger side, resembling a the Ocicat Breed with his spotted body and stripped legs.

Dewey

Dewey, Upon Arrival at SCHS

 

**Dewey just graduated the Paws in Prison Program where he received 8 weeks of obedience training. He is now crate trained, has manners, and he knows some tricks as well!

Despite his struggles upon arrival (see below), Dewey is the BIGGEST SWEETHEART. He loves affection and just wants to be held and cuddled. He gives us hugs and lays in our laps, even though he is a large dog.  Dewey also enjoys playing with other dogs and going for walks. He is house trained, neutered, up to date on shots and ready to find his new family!

Dewey was found starving and rummaging through trash at a campground in the National Forest. He only weighed 32 pounds and had a severe infection that we treated with antibiotics. He was also heart worm positive and completed his treatment for that once he was at a healthy weight.  Dewey is now a healthy 60 pounds and his blood work shows no signs of infection!

Ebony

Ebony is a little on the reserved side and is very relaxed. She was raised in a home since birth so was socialized, she is just very independent and likes to do her own thing.  She loves to play with other kitties and toys, but spends most of her time lounging around observing the other kitties. She loves to get her head and cheeks scratched too. Ebony would be good as an indoor/outdoor kitty.  She is litter box trained, vaccinated and spayed.

Kenna

Husky MixKenna is 2.5 years old and weighs 62lbs. She is very slender and sleek with a blue speckle in one of her eyes- just a beautiful dog! She was returned to us after 2 years in a home, adopted as a puppy.  The family just had a baby and Kenna became very protective of the baby and would fight with the other dog when it got too close.  They were heartbroken to bring her back because she is really a great dog – loves to cuddle and is pretty calm and gentle.  She is also housetrained and knows some simple commands. Kenna, for the most part, gets along with other dogs and loves kids.  She has not been around cats, but we can introduce her if needed.

Opie

Blue Eyed DogOpie came to us, with his brother Oden. Opie was blessed with the most beautiful blue eyes, but he has confidence issues – he is a little unsure of himself although he feels confident with another doggo around, so he will do best in a home with another k-9 companion. He loves other dogs and gets along with almost all of them. Opie is neutered, current on shots and is full grown at 35lbs.  His adoption fee has been waived for our Clear the Shelter Event, but your application must be approved.

Oden

Blue Eyed Kelpie

Oh, hi there. I’m Oden. I am supposed to tell you about myself, but I am a little nervous, so please forgive me. I am 2 1/2 years old and 35lbs. Do you have a dog with you? I am more comfortable when there is another dog around.  I LOVE other dogs, and kids are ok too, I just don’t like cats and I REALLY don’t like chickens. That is why I am here at the shelter, stupid chickens!

Anyway, I only potty inside occasionally; I guess they call it “partially house-trained” and I am leash trained and use the doggie door. I really enjoy going on walks and meeting new dogs. Dogs are just great aren’t they?! Did you notice my eyes? Everyone tells me I have beautiful blue eyes, but I am color blind so I just have to take their word for it.

I would really like to get out of the shelter and back into a home. I liked the stability and quiet. It gets pretty loud here with 25 other dogs playing and barking. I would love to lay on a comfy couch or dog bed again. Maybe you could come take me for a walk? But bring your dog, that would be better and more fun! Hope to see you soon!

Oden’s adoption fee has been waived for our Clear the Shelter Event, but your application must be approved.

Buck

Rott MixBuck has stolen all of our hearts. He always appears to be smiling and literally gives hugs. He is a 60 pound ball of joy! Buck just wants to be where the action is and loves people. He does well with most other dogs, but doesn’t like being in a confined space with them. Buck is house and leash trained and LOVES going for walks. He is also very good at entertaining himself with a good bone and he loves to lay on his bed with his blankets. We believe Buck will make a great dog for anyone who will smother him with the love and attention he so desperately desires.

Sweetie

Diluted Tortoiseshell Diluted CalicoSweetie is, as her name implies, very sweet.  She tends to be overlooked when people visit our cat cottage because she doesn’t come out to say hello, but once you go to her start petting her,  she is super affectionate. Loud noises and fast movements tend to startle her, so a calm, quiet home would suit her best.  Sweetie is litter box trained, spayed and ready for adoption!

Mikey

Mikey came to us with his brother, Monroe.  They are an owner surrender and we were told the parents were Mountain Dog and Heeler.  Mikey has been outside in a pen all of his life and not given much attention, so he is a little shy. He doesn’t potty in his pen, so would be easy to housetrain. Mikey loves to go for walks and chew on bones. He is a pretty neat guy once you get to know him.
