KENAI - neutered female, Sheltie mix, 9-10 years, tri-color. Click here for photo. Very sweet, no aggression at all. Housebroken, good with kids. Pays too much attention to cats, but we have never had a problem though I would not leave her alone with them. Likes a quiet, calm environment. She does not like it when the other, younger dogs rough house around her so will walk to another area.

LOBO - neutered male, Elkhound mix, senior, black and brown. Click here for photo. Came from BLSARE last summer. Lobo is a very sweet elderly gentleman. He is crate trained and possible house broken. No aggression at all. Lobo needs a retirement home to enjoy his golden days.

ZION - neutered male, American Bulldog/Boxer mix, 2-3 years approx, brindle. Click here for photo. Zion is of our favorite dogs, but has issues that I have not quite figured out. He does not like some people, and is very defensive of me. He will need special placement with rescue that can figure out his issues. He has no food or toy aggression. He gets along great with other dogs, except one, that just started in last couple of months. I cannot stress enough what a good boy he is. He was an owner release because situational problems (he got too big for their trailer). They reported that he would break out of crate and become destructive. We have NOT had that problem at all. I think he was lonely, needed exercise and a play buddy, which he has received from us.

SASH - neutered female, Smaller Hound mix, 4 years approx, black and red. Click here for photo. Sash is a TRUE FEAR BITER but is better in general with women. She has mild submissive peeing, but is crate trained. She adores my daughter. We consider her one of our sanctuary dogs, not really adoptable unless someone can work through her issues. Sash is submissive to other dogs and gets picked on by bigger ones.

LUCKY - neutered male, Beagle, 7-8 years approx, tri-color. Click here for photo. Lucky is one of my favorites. He has too much history to list, but I can go into detail on inquiry. NOT crate trained. Will eat anything so you must be careful what he is around, ie cardboard box, towels, etc. Gets along with everyone but likes to harass other dogs. Has arthritic left rear leg secondary to an old traumatic injury. he is a little bit shy with new people but warms to them. No aggression at all. Poos when he is nervous.

TINA - neutered female, Chihuahua mix, 5-6 years approx, white and tan. Click here for photo. Tina is originally from Taylor county. They thought she was becoming run aggressive. I cannot cleanly categorize Tina though she is some type of fear biter, but not completely. Tina adores me but does not like my kids. She is mostly crate trained. No dog or food aggression. LOVES to be loved by those she has accepted.

JAKE - neutered male, Great Dane/Lab mix, 7-8 years approx, black. Click here for photo. Jake gets along with other dogs, but likes to play rough and show dominance, but is not truly aggressive. He just needs an alpha human to reign him in. He likes kids, but has knocked my daughter over a couple of times just playing. He really should not be with children younger than 12. He gulps food, so put a little water on it so that he does not vomit. No food or toy aggression.

OZZY - neutered male, Hound mix, 8-10 years approx, tri-color. Click here for photo. Ozzy has a lot of environmental allergies, but they improve when he is not in our house. We had him tested at Med-Vet in Columbus several years ago, can get records if needed. He does well on Purina sensitive systems (salmon based) food and Dinovite. The food is maybe $5 extra a month than regular food, Dinovite maybe $20 extra a month. I will be happy to send supply. He has 1-3 fits a year, but the vet said they were too infrequent for meds. He is crate trained. Licks and bites the crate and has worn his teeth down early. Needs a little water on his food.

MOUSE - neutered male, Hound mix, 4 years approx, tan. Click here for photo. Mouse came from Mason County in 2007. He is the worst abuse case I have personally worked with. He was apparently kicked under his chin causing a loss of teeth and a broken jaw that healed improperly. My vet said he had healed, and could not be corrected. Mouse has taken a lot of work, but Tracy can testify as to how far he has come. He loves to chew sticks and an empty bag of dog food to lie on. No special diet, just soak food in water. Has to find a homne/foster home ASAP as he is not doing well in boarding.

MONITOR - neutered male, Dobermann Pinscher mix, 8-10 years approx, black and tan. Click here for photo. Monitor is my buddy! He leans on me when he wants a fuss. He has a cataract in his right eye so has reduced vision in that eye. He is submissive to humans, but does not get along with other dogs - growls at them. No food aggression. Crate trained. This dog loves to run, great off leash!

DUBYA - neutered male, Collie mix, 9-10 years approx, tan and white. Click here for photo. BW (stands for brown and white dog), aka 'Dubya' is a wonderful dog. He is very intelligent. He will smack his crate door if it is closed, until it opens for him. No aggression at all. He is crate trained.

SPARKY - neutered male, Spaniel cross?, 15 months approx. Click here for photo. Sparky came from BLSHARE last year. He is mostly crate trained. Very puppy-ish, likes to play, especially with kids.

Eddie likes to run up and nip another dog on the leg then take off. She will not fight, just likes to be weird. If they chase her, she rolls on her back. She is crate trained. No food aggression, we have to coax her to eat.
