He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, has done well with kids, and is fully housetrained.</p> <p>Bear is a little older and his hips bother him a bit but he still loves to go on walks.</p> <p><img src=\"http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068948m6557562.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" align=\"right\" /></p> <p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Foster Home Feedback</strong></span></p> <p><strong>July 6th -</strong> Bear has been getting regular exercise and has recently lost 3 pounds. He isn\'t too happy about sitting by the treat cupboard and being ignored! If we walk past him when he\'s sitting there, he will give a bark just in case we missed his 80 pounds sitting there! <br />&nbsp;<br /><br /><img src=\"http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068948m6557559.jpg\" alt=\"\" vspace=\"10\" width=\"250\" align=\"right\" /> He has been going to the lake with me and within 1/2 hour of getting there, he had made his way into the water and was very happily swimming around the lake. It\'s sometimes tough to keep him out since his retriever instincts are pulling at him. I think he may have been a hunting dog at one time since he very eagerly went after a stick I threw for him and have since bought him a training \"toy\" for him to retrieve from the water. He knows this is his since he carries it around but doesn\'t chew on it. He will not play fetch with a ball but loves to retrieve in the water. Bear does get tired and we need to make him rest otherwise he would swim to exhaustion.<br />&nbsp;<br />The fireworks on the 4th of July left him unfazed. He slept by my chair outside - actually snored - while we let off the fireworks. This is also true for a thunderstorm. I have not found anything that scares or upsets him. He was also around a lot of activity with people of all ages and did just fine. Bear is such a happy-go-lucky dog!<br />&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>May 10th -</strong> Bear is a wonderful dog. The time spent with him has really allowed his personality to shine through and he melts hearts of anyone who meets him. He loves attention but will also go and lie down when he is told. He gets along very well with any dog he meets and I have yet to see any aggression with him towards other animals, adults, or children. He currently shares a home with two other dogs.<br />&nbsp;<br />When he sees his leash, he gets so excited because he knows this means a walk or a trip to the dog park. He is trying to shed a few pounds - like it or not!<br />&nbsp;<br />Bear is currently being treated for Cushing\'s Disease and is responding very well to treatment. He also takes a daily pill for stiff joints and this has made a world of difference. He is full of energy but is also happy to lie on his orthopedic bed with the sun streaming through the windows on him.<br />&nbsp;<br />He is such a wonderful and loveable dog! Bear desires to be in a forever home that would allow him exercise and activity but also allow him to be lazy and just get love and attention.<br />&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>December 4th -</strong> Bear is a very loving, snuggly dog. He loves attention yet when you tell him it\'s enough, he will lie down and not be a bother. He is low energy but loves to play tug of war. So far, I have not seen an aggressive side to him with people or other dogs. When he has been at the dog park, he plays with other dogs but mostly just walks around and explores the area.</p> <p>He does have one drawback - Bear is prone to ear infections. However, with frequent ear cleanings (which he loves) that is easily maintained and is a small inconvenience for all the love and joy that he provides!</p> <p><strong>October 19th -</strong> Bear is doing great. He is content to lie on the floor yet when another dog is around, he tries to play. We had an English Bulldog here for a couple of hours and they played outside for about 1/2 hour and he didn\'t show any aggression at all. He has also been around kids and is very gentle.</p> <p>I do not kennel him at night and we have had no issues. He sleeps on his doggie bed on the floor beside my bed. Sometimes I hear him get up and get a drink of water but there have been no accidents and he does not chew on anything. When I leave the house, I will kennel him and he goes in without any problems.</p> <p>He likes to chew on rawhide but has not chewed on anything that he shouldn\'t. He also loves dog treats!</p> <p>Taking Bear for a walk is very easy since he does really well on a leash.</p> <p>Basically, he just loves to be around people and will follow me from room to room. He does bark but only if it\'s to go in or outside or if he\'s very excited about something. He is very lovable and if you sit on the floor with him, he will nuzzle up against you or put his head in your lap. He\'s a wonderful, sweet dog.</p> <p><strong>September 19th -</strong> Bear is an old but gentle dog. He get\'s along wonderfully with other dogs. He loved the dog park, and all of the other dog\'s and dog owners there loved him. Since he\'s a bit older his hips bother him a little when he get\'s up and down but he loves going on walks and any attention at all. He\'s potty trained and hasn\'t had any accidents in the house. He doesn\'t bark when others come to the door. He had an ear infection when we got him so we put drops in his ears everyday and he sits nicely for them even though it\'s not his favorite thing. He\'s been good with my young niece and nephews. He does love food so there\'s no leaving anything out where he may get to it. He hasn\'t got into anything he shouldn\'t but I don\'t want to tempt him. The only time he has made any noise is when we kennel him up at night he will cry a little for about 3-5 minutes but then nothing the rest of the night and I usually have to wake him up in the morning. He\'s only been with us a couple of days so I\'d say he\'s been a star performer up to this point.

Everybody who has met him comments on 1) how handsome he is, and 2) how well-behaved he is. If you ever met him at a Petco Meet-n-Greet, that&rsquo;s not representative of his personality. He seemed reserved and almost sad at first. Once he got home and got settled, he definitely came out of his shell. He&rsquo;s really a happy, friendly &ndash; and occasionally goofy &ndash; puppy who just wants to hang out wherever you are. He&rsquo;s got quite a bit of Lab to him. He&rsquo;s also very smart: He learned quickly to sit to be let outside and to sit for his food. He&rsquo;ll respond well to training. <br />&nbsp;<br />There are two cats here and he does very well with them. The older one wants nothing to do with him, so he leaves her alone; the younger one doesn&rsquo;t mind him and they get along fine. He does well with other dogs, too &ndash; as long as they&rsquo;re his size or smaller. Doesn&rsquo;t bark much. He&rsquo;s good with kids, too. His favorite pastimes are sleeping and destroying loofa dogs. He also LOVES to run, though he&rsquo;s more of a sprinter than a distance runner: a few good laps around the yard and then it&rsquo;s time for a break. Buddy is just an all-around cool, easy-going dog who will be a great addition to any family.<br />&nbsp;</div> <div><strong>March 6th -</strong> Hi everyone! &nbsp;My name is Buddy. Mom tells me that there are pictures of me on this website but they don&rsquo;t do me justice. She says I am such a handsome boy and I have really good manners. I am not sure what that means but she always tells me that and gives me a treat afterwards. I like to sleep on the floor next to my foster mom &amp; dad&rsquo;s bed at night and sometimes they will put me in a kennel during the day for a little while. I don&rsquo;t think she realizes that I know how to shove my paw through the door and unlatch it, because I always get out and lay on the floor next to it. It kind of scares me to be in there if no one is home but I am ok with it if someone is in the room with me. Mom says I will get better at staying in my kennel as time goes on. I don&rsquo;t mess on the floor or anything so I think she lets me roam the house freely because of that.</div> <p>&nbsp;I share my house with 3 other larger dogs and I like to be first in line when it comes to eating. If the other dogs try to eat, I let out a little growl and they wait until I am done. Mom says that she is going to start feeding me separately from now on because I have bad manners at supper time. I love my bones and my treats but I don&rsquo;t really care for any of the toys around the house. I also share the house with a couple kids they are 5 and 16 and they are so fun to play with. We also have these two small cats that live with us. They are funny, they jump on my head when I am sleeping and bat my ears with their paws. Sometimes I get angry and let out a very angry bark and they leave me alone. I don&rsquo;t chase them because they always run under the couch and I can&rsquo;t catch them.</p> <p>My mom says I am kind of a lazy dog for a puppy. I like to play a lot outside, but I am usually the first to poop out and the first to want to be let back in the house. I seem to get cold quicker than the other dogs, it is probably because I don&rsquo;t have as thick of a coat as they do. If you want to meet me, let 4luvofdog know and my foster mom said we can go for a car ride. Hope to meet you soon!</p> <p>&nbsp;--Love Buddy<br />&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>February 11th -</strong> I just wanted to let you know that \"Buddy\" is doing great so far. He is a very well behaved boy. He kenneled last night just fine, barks at the door when he wants to go out, doesn\'t jump up, didn\'t show any aggression with ANY of the three dogs, didn\'t even bother with the two cats, took a bath fine (just stood there) and let me completely bath him and didn\'t try to jump out until I asked him too. He was however ferociously hungry, he gobbled down about two full cups of food and then threw it up, we gave him another cup about an hour later and he gobbled that down too but kept it down for awhile but then threw up again about an hour later. He has been drinking water but as of right now, he won\'t eat just drinks a little water. Oh and he is not showing any food aggression toward the other animals nor us, he wags his tail when he inhales it. Hopefully it\'s just nerves. He\'s poopin tho lol. ;). I hope to get his weight up soon, he is so so skinny the poor little guy.</p> </div><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div></img>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2066530m6686558.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2066530m6686558.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2066530m4385713.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2066530m4385713.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2066530m4385711.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2066530m4385711.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2066530m6686560.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2066530m6686560.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Buddy','2009-12-22 16:42:11'],

He is the dude! Bumper has been more relaxed in his new foster home and likes to join in welcoming me home. He follows the other dogs to help him know where to go but once in awhile he spooks because he did not realize we were there. He likes to lay under a coffee table or other furniture. His last check up was good and he is doing well. We just make sure to limit treats and have plenty of activity.</p> <p><strong>April 16th -</strong> Bumper has been a good little guy for us and he is a handsome little guy! He just had his spring hair cut and is all set to impress the ladies.</p> <p><strong>October 16th - </strong>Bumper had a photoshoot yesterday, he is so handsome! He is truely an amazing little guy. Bumper\'s transformation from when we first picked him up in September has been incredible. My goal at that time was not only to get he healthy, but to make his tail wag. His tail wags like crazy now! Bumper is such a strong little fighter, and he is so appreciative for his second chance at life. He would like to thank 4 Luv of Dog and the West Fargo Animal Hospital for everything that has been provided to him. Bumper is truely a new dog!<br />&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>October 9th -</strong>Quick update on Bumper. He is doing so much better. He doesn\'t look as sick as he did when we first got him. Bumper\'s coat is coming in so well, he had a few balled spots and some irritation before from malnutrition. He is getting shiner all the time! Bumper is going to be a Lobster for halloween, he makes a great Lobster. <br />He is doing so well. Bumper is going up and down our stairs now just fine. He gets up and down off our furniture too! Last night he chased a fly around the house and finally got him, he was so proud. I think his eyes might be getting a little better... he is able to see shadows a lot better and he has learned to make use of his senses to get around. He is such a good boy and his confidence has skyrocketed!<br />&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>September 13th -</strong> When I picked Bumper up from the pound, he was in terrible shape! Covered in waste, and his eyes were pretty much crusted shut. Bumper was very shy, didn\'t want to be handled at all... It was clear that he had been abused, since he reacted with fear. Poor little guy!<br /><br />I brought Bumper home and bathed him... given his lack of trust I wasn\'t sure how he would react to a bath, but he actually really enjoyed it!!! I washed out Bumper\'s eyes and put antibiotic ointment on them and he ran around like a puppy to dry off. I think he was really happy to have some sight back!<br /><br />Bumper is pretty slow, for the most part, and still shy. He is vision is impaired due to cataracts and he does bump into things. Stairs are an issue for him. Bumper has some kind of mass on his rump/tail. He will be going to a vet ASAP to check his eyes and the mass.<br /><br />Bumper does nip a little when you try to pick him up, but he has decreased that almost completely since we first got him, probably because he is starting to trust us. He has had some accidents in the house, but we are working on that. As soon as he gets to the grass he goes potty, and then we praise him and he gets treats!</p> <p>Other than that, he LOVES to walk around our yard and go for short walks. He loves belly rubs and to be cuddled and petted. Bumper\'s confidence has gone up already since yesterday morning and he is starting to trust my husband and I. He gets along just fine with our female shih tzu too. They cuddled on a car ride last night actually. He eats just fine when you show him where his food is.<br /><br />I will send you an update of how Bumper is doing in a few days. He seems to be opening up little at a time. Bumper would be a good dog for someone with a lot of patients... Alls he wants is someone to love and care for him :)</p> </div><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div></img>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068858m6458860.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068858m6458860.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068858m5171241.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068858m5171241.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068858m4990272.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068858m4990272.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068858m5067877.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068858m5067877.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Bumper','2009-12-23 16:35:40'],

He\'s become a great napper, taking the whole bed for himself.&nbsp; He\'s learning not to drink all the water in the bowl every time it\'s filled, and he can hold it a lot longer than he used to.&nbsp; Butch even spent the night with a friend and he was able to settle in easily, a complete turn around from how he was when he first came to his foster home. <p>Butch goes to daycare once a week, playing with his friends.&nbsp; He has some issues with some dogs, but with time and practice he can settle in.&nbsp; Butch is such a goofy guy, he will bring SO much laughter to whoever adopts him. He\'s the \"labbiest\" lab I\'ve ever met.</p> </div> <div><strong>March 30th -</strong> Butchie has been doing well in his foster home and is patiently waitingfor his forever home. He has become a well-adjusted dog. Butch is a sucker for back/butt scratches, he pretty much drops whatever he\'s doing once he feels that scratch. He\'s a good cuddler; he rarely sleeps through the night without spending some time on my bed, and he has a favorite spot on the couch that he will sit in regardless if you are in the way or not. He doesn\'t mind sharing!</div> <div><br />Butch has been doing a lot of rollerblading lately and he is verymanageable as we go along. He\'s willing to pull you and do all the work or just run next to you. He has so far had little interest in the ducks, etc. that we pass (although his foster sister is definitely ready for a feathered meal). What he does get excited about, is people! It\'s heartbreaking to see how excited he gets when we go past a group of kids playing catch. He wants to be a part of that so much! Butch will be a dog that takes his time to adjust to new things. When he\'s in his comfort zone he\'s a mellow, medium-energy dog that is content to chew on his toys and snore on the couch. He does get anxious with new things, but with a little time and patience he settles down back into his usual self.</div> <div><br />As a big black dog, Butch will be overlooked by a lot of people. But, being a big black dog owner and successful foster of 5 big black dogs, I can tell anyone out there that black is beautiful, and this big black dog deserves to be adopted!</div> <div> <p><strong>January 27th - </strong>Mr. Cassidy is doing well. I\'ve had him for about three weeks now. He gets along great with the other dogs. He\'s very interested in the cat, but no matter how hard he tries the kitty just won\'t play with him. Butch loves to fetch, which is great because it\'s easy to tire him out. He does enjoy chewing on the ball before giving it to you to throw again. His fetching is pretty laid-back. He only had a few accidents the first two days;nothing since then. He jumps on the door when he needs to go. He has not had a single accident in his kennel, and he can hold it for probably up to six hours. He needs to go out more often if he\'s playing with his friends... Playtime requires a lot of water.</p> <p>Butch is hands-down the BEST walker I have ever had as a foster-dog. He\'s even better than my own dog. I use a head-collar, and he does not pull at all. His only flaw is that he can go off into space and kind of forgets that he\'s on a walk and needs to keep moving. Finding a spot to go to the bathroom on a walk is very easy; no searching for this dog. He just stops and goes. Butch\'s slight kleptomania gets better every day. From stealing everything he could the first few days, he\'s now down to one or two items a day. What can you do, though, it\'s a hard addiction to break. He is committed to attending his therapy sessions - What a brave young man! Butchie would like everyone to think the small bald spot on his head<br />involved a burning building, saving a baby, and receiving a key to the city, but really he just had a small infection. His hair is growing back slowly.</p> <p>Butch is the textbook definition of a lab: he\'s goofy, loves to fetch, occasionally chews on things he\'s not supposed to, can be either ridiculously lazy or ready to go, and loves everyone and everything. Butch needs a family that has a good sense of humor because he is a complete meat-head. The first week or so of transition time will be hard, but Butch is well worth it once he gets over that \"new home anxiety\". Butch will make someone very happy and he deserves a good home.</p> <p><strong>December 26th -</strong> Butch is a total sweetheart! He is so great with his foster pups, cat, and kids. He is wonderful with my 3 year old. He loves the snow and loves to play play play! He likes to be watch dog as he makes a little growly noise if someone comes to the door. A little shy with men, but does not get mean with them...just a little unsure. His first night with us, he decided to jump in the bathtub with my daughter and take a bath with her.

She LOVES people, is the biggest cuddle bug ever, and will give kisses all day!! She doesnt have the best dog greeting habits, but I think it is lack of socialization. Once she was around our dogs for an hour, they have been playing non-stop ever since! We have been leaving her out when we leave the house, and she actually does much better being left out then kenneled. Nothing is destroyed and there are no accidents when we get back.<br />&nbsp;<br />She needs some constant training. But she is picking up on \"Sit\" and \"Down\". She already knows Shake very well! She has also picked up \"Sit Pretty\" and \"High Five\". She does well with treat motivation, and I think would do well in training classes. She needs some leash manners, but she isnt too bad, just needs some correcting.&nbsp;</p> <p>I havent had her around kids, but I think she would be just fine. I\'ve pet her roughly and even layed my head on her and she did just fine with it, as long as your are touching her she is happy!</p> <p>&nbsp;She is just looking for a family to give lots of kisses to and cuddle with in bed!</p> <div><strong>July 19th</strong> - Gypsy just came into the house tonight. It was a rough start with my female pittie and Gypsy, but we are finally all getting along and laying on the couch hanging out. Gypsy loves to play with my male pit and was playing like a puppy while we were outside. We have had no accidents yet, although she seems to whine just a little bit while she is kenneled, that could be the problem when she is in a house she doesnt know though. She is a big sweetheart and loves to cuddle up in your lap and be pet. Gypsy is just looking for someone to spend some time with her and show her how to be a real dog!

She is both house and kennel trained. Havana knows basic commands such as sit, down, shake, and off and responds willingly and easily.</p> <p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Foster Home Feedback</strong></span></p> <p><strong>February 11th - </strong>For those of you that are 4 Luv of Dog followers, you may well remember the story of Harper, who came to 4 Luv last June by way of Paws for the Cause Rescue.&nbsp; Harper came to 4 Luv emaciated and broken, and supporters came forward to assist with her recovery.&nbsp; When Harper was picked up, Paws for the Cause was initially contacted to rescue TWO littermate sisters, who were found in pit-banned area and were going to be shot if not rescued immediately. However, when Paws for the Cause arrived to pick up the girls, only the broken dog, Harper, was to be found and Paws was told the littermate had been \"given away\" to a mystery person.&nbsp; We, as fosters for 4 Luv of Dog, fostered Harper through her surgical repair and recovery and later adopted her, and of course always wondered in the back of our minds where her sister had ended up.<br />&nbsp;<br />Now, seven months later, Harper\'s sister (Havana) has come into our hands.&nbsp; She too was picked up by the police in the same area, but a dispatcher thought Havana was such a nice dog that he rescued her and kept her in his garage for a week until a temporary foster in a nearby town could be found. When the temporary foster sent a picture of Havana to Paws for the Cause Rescue, only then did Paws realize it was Harper\'s littermate, at long last accounted for.&nbsp; It is with much joy that we are able, and grateful, to foster Havana and help to facilitate her adoption into a permanent, loving, stable home. Unfortunately, in the past seven months, it is apparent that Havana has reared puppies.&nbsp; How sad that there are now more puppies, left behind, who will likely live like Havana and Harper had, and risk being captured and potentially shot because of the local area pit ban.</p> <p>Havana is a wonderful friendly dog.&nbsp; After arriving, she took a few days to let down her guard and settle in, but now she is one of the pack and rolls as they do.&nbsp; She is obedient, and readily responds to simple commands.&nbsp; We have taught her to kennel when we leave the house, and she is pretty much completely potty trained now also.&nbsp; Havana is a joy to have around and follows us from room to room, or ventures off to pester her lounging sisters. I think she is enjoying her stay with us, while she awaits her forever home.&nbsp; Please consider her for yours. :-)</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2200893m6482432.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2200893m6482432.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2200893m6482433.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2200893m6482433.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2200893m6482441.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2200893m6482441.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2200893m4670279.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2200893m4670279.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Havana','2010-02-12 09:45:02'],

My name is Hector. I sure am happy to be rescued from the pound. I want to send a BIG THANK YOU to the wonderful people that offered to sponsor me and to provide me a foster home!</p> <p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Foster Home Feedback</strong></span></p> </div> <div> <p><img src=\"http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068743m4389842.jpg\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"5\" align=\"right\" /> <strong>May 13th</strong> - Hector is a dog who just loves to love.&nbsp; He loves people, dogs, cats, everything.&nbsp; He is great with my 4 cats.&nbsp; He plays a little rough with my dog but gets along well with him.&nbsp; I think he would do great in a one dog only home or with another dog that likes rough play.&nbsp; Hector needs to be indoors.&nbsp; He is not an outdoor dog.&nbsp; He loves to be with people and lick faces and ears (which I don\'t let him do to me).&nbsp; When he gets let out to go potty, he cries immediately when he\'s done to come back in.&nbsp; He also cries when left in his kennel when people are in the house, so he wouldn\'t like to be kenneled at night.&nbsp; He sleeps well at the foot of my bed, or on a dog bed on the floor.&nbsp; He does very well being kenneled for long periods when I\'m at work.&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />Hector has never peed on anything in my house.&nbsp; If I let him out 3 or 4 times a day, he has no problems.&nbsp; He\'s not a high energy dog, but would benefit from an occasional run in a fenced area.&nbsp; He does well indoors if he has a couple toys to play with or something to chew on.&nbsp; He has a strong desire to please so he\'s always trying to do what I tell him even though he doesn\'t understand most of it. He is smart and will learn what people are saying to him very quickly.&nbsp; He does know some commands, but it would make him feel proud to know more.&nbsp;</p> <div><strong>January 4th -</strong> We\'ve had Hector for 3 months now and he has been absolutely amazing. He needed a little space and time to adjust, but after about a week he trusted us quite a bit and since then he has really grown attached to us (and us to him!). He was pretty skinny when he came, but we have been working hard to \"fatten\" him up. Looking through our pictures it\'s hard to imagine he was as skinny as he was! He has been wonderful with other dogs he has met, loves to wrestle with our dog, and whines when our cats don\'t want to cuddle with him. <br /><br />It seems that he has been mistreated in the past so it is important that he be handled with a very gentle, calm demeanor. Hector loves to love. He loves going for walks and runs and he really loves learning new commands. He knows \"sit,\" \"shake,\" \"wait,\" \"down,\" \"outside/inside,\" and he is working on \"drop/leave it.\" But his favorite thing to do is cuddle up on the couch with us and take a nap. He likes to bark at the door when someone comes but once they come inside all he wants to do is love on them.</div> <p><strong>June 22nd - </strong>You know, every day with this dog has been so much fun. He is so full of love! And man, can he learn FAST! My boxer Batista is 3-1/2 and my lab cross Boni is 7-1/2, and they aren&rsquo;t as quick as he is! Hector is so full of puppy rambunctiousness that when it is time to go outside, he tries to barrel through everyone and be first out the door. Well, my porch/entrance is not that big, so when that happens shoes are getting knocked off the shelves and my feet are getting stepped on. LOL My three have always had a pattern&mdash;Boni goes first, Shorty the lhasa goes second, and Batista hangs back until they are out, then he goes. Hector completely threw a wrench in that! LMAO So, I have now been making everyone sit and stay inside the house at the door until I get the front door open, then I &ldquo;release&rdquo; them. Hector is the only one who listens reliably. . .LOL And my favorite is treat time&mdash;as I&rsquo;m getting the other dogs to &ldquo;sit&rdquo; and &ldquo;shake&rdquo;, Hector is &ldquo;shaking&rdquo; like nobody&rsquo;s business&mdash;his paw just keeps trying to shake with me and keeps hitting my arm like &ldquo;See&mdash;I&rsquo;m shaking&mdash;give me a treat!&rdquo; What a dog!</p> <p>He is still very &ldquo;puppy-clumsy&rdquo;, so I don&rsquo;t think he is any older than a year. When he got neutered, the vet also feels he is probably no more than 10-14 months old, as his teeth are absolutely clean and perfect yet, looking in the back as though they are just barely fully in.</p> <p>I think whoever had him before showered him with love, because he sure knows how to give it!</p> <p><strong>June 7th - </strong>We have now reached the end of our second full day with Hector, and they have been busy and absolutely fun days. We picked him up at the kennels on Thursday late afternoon and he was SO happy to go with us! He was full of kisses and playfulness from the first minute my son and I picked him up. When we got home, we first introduced him to our lab cross, Boni, and they immediately \"clicked.\" Hector is definitely not a dominant dog in the least, and as Boni is the \"leader of the pack\", next to us, it was important that those two got along. The meeting went very smoothly. We next introduced him to our little lhasa, Shorty, and that also went very well. This was kind of a surprise, as Shorty definitely, um, suffers from \"little dog\" syndrome, and has a tendency to be kind of bossy. ;-) The last dog we introduced him to was our boxer, Batista. That didn\'t go quite as smoothly, but not on Hector\'s part. He was wonderful. Batista just took a bit longer to \"accept\" him into the pack, so we did that introduction quite gradually over the next couple days. Hector did what he could to make friends, and it worked! He and Batista have had a great day today, romping and chasing--couple of real clowns, those two. . . :-)<br /><br />Last night, we also introduced him to one cat at a time. The first one we introduced him to was Lucky, as he is our oldest and most adaptable. Lucky went right up to him and began to rub Hector\'s chin. He obviously has either been around cats before, or is just that awesome of a dog, because he seemed to really enjoy it. He does not go out of his way to approach the cats, which is great as Twinkles (our second eldest) is not a big fan of dogs, but when they come up to him he seems to really enjoy the attention!<br /><br />We also have found that he REALLY likes little kids. Our neighbor came over with her little daughter who is about 20 months old, and we first let them check each other out through the fence. She then brought Paige in, and he was as gentle as a lamb with her. She hugged him, he licked her, didn\'t jump on her at all, and they had fun with throwing the ball around the yard and chasing it.<br /><br />All in all, Hector is showing himself to be a GREAT dog! Right now I just glanced over at him and he has made himself quite comfy our our bed. . .guess he\'s saying it\'s night-night time!</p> </div><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div></img>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068743m4389840.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068743m4389840.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068743m6458859.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068743m6458859.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068743m6458858.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068743m6458858.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068743m5273454.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068743m5273454.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Hector','2009-12-23 15:40:42'],

He has not had an accident in the house for quite some time. And if he has, it was probably our fault for not paying attention to him. Once outside, Henry does his duties promptly and then it\'s time to play! He really enjoys having a fenced yard and finds it difficult to go potty on a leash, but given some time I am sure he would get used to that.</p> <p>Henry has been a great walking and jogging partner! I know that he wishes I could run a little faster though!! He still occasionally pulls to smell something or to great people passing by, but is overall pretty easy to control. He knows how to sit and lay down.</p> <p>He has shown no food aggression with my two dogs. If they steal his rawhide, he will try to get it back but has not been agressive at all. In his leisure time, he enjoys resting on his back with his legs up in the air. He always keeps one eye open just in case someone is ready to play! He has done well with every dog we\'ve introduced him to, and really loves running around. We introduced him to a cat as well and he just wanted to play (of course). He also enjoys chewing on the occasional shoe, but if you give him one of his toys to chew on he will stop.</p> <p>Henry sleeps in his kennel and stays in there when we are gone. He has been an escape artist once or twice, but hasn\'t done that recently and seems to be getting used to the kennel, and will even go in there to rest when there\'s nothing else going on. He sleeps through the night and is ready to play when you get up in the morning!</p> <p>So why choose Henry over any other black lab? He will put a smile on your face and make you laugh every single day! He definitely needs daily exercise, so if you are looking at getting in shape, Henry could be your trainer!! He is a big goofball that is ready to find his forever home and play and play and play and play!!!</p> <p><strong>April 16th -</strong> Henry has been at our house for 3 days. He had his neuter surgery and was ready to play right when we got him home! It is hard to keep him \"quiet\" as he has a lot of puppy energy to expend. He is very playful, and enjoys playing with tennis balls. He is house trained for the most part. He has had just a couple accidents, and is improving! He doesn\'t like to go in his kennel, but we are working on that. At night he whines for just a little bit and then quiets down and is soooo excited to see you in the morning!! He loves to go on walks, and is generally pretty good but pulls on the leash when he wants to go pee on a tree or sniff something interesting. Henry is such a sweetie and has so much love to share!<br />&nbsp;</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2322450m5373196.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2322450m5373196.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2322450m4962958.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2322450m4962958.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2322450m4962959.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2322450m4962959.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2322450m6436412.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2322450m6436412.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Henry','2010-04-01 10:42:22'],

He\'s quite settled, and has learned the do\'s and don\'ts of being at our house; he can run outside to go potty and comes right back, knows many commands, and kennels right when you tell him to. He loves playing fetch, or chasing snow! He likes to play a lot, and gets a little stir-crazy if he doesn\'t get to burn some energy.&nbsp; When we are at the pet store, Pickles will bark occasionally when there are lots of other dogs around. He doesn\'t bark at home unless he really needs to go outside. We haven\'t had an accident at home for a few months; just the first week or so when he got here. He\'s also getting better at understanding when you talk to him, so he knows when you want him to come, go away, stay, not do something... quite well behaved! Pickles does pretty well with small children from what we\'ve seen, and could probably be trained to avoid cats, which he currently loves to chase.</div> <div><strong>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div><strong>December 5th -</strong> Jo Jo is a very playful energetic young dog. He LOVES attention and will follow you everywhere. He understands sit, lay, and down. He walks fairly well on a leash but if there&rsquo;s something moving in his line of sight he will try to chase it. He goes easily into his crate when I leave for work. He is friendly to strangers and other dogs. We are trying to teach him not to chew on everything (the only causalities so far have been his toys) and not to put his paws on the counter tops. Overall he&rsquo;s a great dog and we very much enjoy our time getting to foster him.</div> </div><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068619m6352384.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068619m6352384.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068619m6352381.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068619m6352381.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068619m6352382.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068619m6352382.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068619m6352385.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068619m6352385.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Jo Jo','2009-12-23 15:27:35'],

She actually licked my face and instead of trying to grab the brush out of my hand, she licked my arm.&nbsp; She doesn\'t grab at my hands or my clothing anymore but she does come up to you as if she wants too but I\'ve really used positive reinforcement with her when she is behaving.&nbsp; She gets along with my 3 other dogs well but really likes to play rough and tumble games.&nbsp; She doesn\'t realize her size and is quite clumsy.&nbsp; When I do go to take her collar, she sits immediately and when she approaches me I have asked to sit and she knows the command.&nbsp; I have walked her several times on a leash and she does need some practice.&nbsp; She seems to understand and seems to want to learn how to properly behave for me.<br />&nbsp;<br />I feel Libby would do well with a fenced in yard so she has room to run off her energy.&nbsp; When she plays, after 15 minutes, she settles down nicely and looks as if that is enough exercise for her.&nbsp; I do believe that her forever home will need to keep her on a schedule run/walk or exercise schedule to let her burn off her energy.<br />&nbsp;<br />It doesn\'t seem to bother her to eat in front of the other dogs but she does seem to get a little bothered if I am standing next to her while she eats.&nbsp; I am just going to have to continue to work with her so she realizes she needs to trust me that I am taking care of her now and she isn\'t in any danger any longer.&nbsp; I have high hopes for her, and I hope that she find a nice home to go to soon.<br />&nbsp;<br />I have not seen any aggressive behavior as in growling, biting or any body signals to make me believe that she has that side to her.&nbsp; I trust her with me, I trust her with my other dogs.&nbsp; She does like to jump up on people, so I am working with her to stop this behavior as she could easily knock down a child.&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />Libby hopes you will give her the forever home she wants!<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2449035m6365207.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2449035m6365207.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2449035m5312517.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2449035m5312517.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2449035m5312516.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2449035m5312516.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2449035m6365206.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2449035m6365206.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Libby','2010-05-20 08:59:07'],

I\'d say that she has a medium/low energy level and is very mellow. Nala is a little skittish though of people and other dogs but warmed up beautifully to both after a 9 month old puppy and his family enticed her to play at the dog park. She walks well on the leash with no pulling though sometimes she walks TOO close and I end up tripping on her! I have no problems crating her and she does well while I\'m at work as long as I give her a stuffed Kong to keep her occupied.</p> <p>She is treat driven and I started her basic commands. Nala is not too interested in toys but will do a couple rounds of fetch if she has some dog buddies to chase the ball with. She is very good at ignoring cats and<br />only gave a warning growl to my Attu when he poked too close to her toys.</p> <p>She has no food or toy aggression towards people or dogs. She has the intuition that she\'s supposed to go outside to use the bathroom which is great!</p> <p>The only problem I\'ve encountered so far is that Nala gets EXTREMELY carsick when she goes for rides. I\'m currently researching tips so that I can make trips more comfortable for her.</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2621108m6660737.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2621108m6660737.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2621108m6660738.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2621108m6660738.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2621108m6660746.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2621108m6660746.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2621108m6627415.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2621108m6627415.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Nala','2010-07-17 11:13:44'],

She has learned to use the doggie door. I have woken up to see her and Orion outside playing in the morning. She is walking <br />better but still has her moments where she is not into going where the rest of us are going. Phoebe likes all the kids and people that stop us and ask to pet the dogs. She doesn\'t want to start walking again after that sometimes. We went to the dog park on Saturday for about an hour, she really liked it. Phoebe really likes being around dogs and she has to run up and lick every dog. She still sleeps most of the day and is only active about one hour of the day. So if that sounds easy enough for you, Phoebe is your girl.</p> <div><strong>July 18th -</strong> Phoebe is doing well.&nbsp; She is still her lazy self.&nbsp; She is happy to have Orion (her foster brother) to play with when she wants. Orion seems to get her to come out of her shell the most. I think its cause he bugs her until she gives in. Also she was happy to see her pound mate Phyllis at our place too. I think Phoebe would like to go to a home with another dog her size she can play with, and that helps bring her out more. She likes going on walks but doesn\'t have the energy like Phyllis and Orion. I\'m working with her to get her to be more interactive with people. I think that has been the only complaint we get from people, so I\'m trying to reward her every time she comes up to us and spends time with us. She will sit for a treat, but other tricks/commands she just doesn\'t seem to have the energy to care. If you\'re looking for a mellow dog that doesn\'t require much from you, Phoebe is the dog for you.</div> <p><strong>July 4th -</strong> Phoebe is starting to warm up, still very chill and sleeps most of the day. We had a few friends over Saturday and she got along with everyone. Think we got a little loud for her and she went in another room and laid down. She is not a big fan of the fireworks that have been going off but doesn\'t get as scared&nbsp; as our dog. One of the people that came over brought another dog and Phoebe and her got along very well. I think their lower energy matched very well and they ranaround the back yard. We found Phoebe\'s favorite treat which is turkey burgers from Natural Pet Center.&nbsp; She will do anything for them and they are very helpful in getting her moving. She still loves going for a walk that is when she seems the most happy. I think Phoebe will be a great chill dog.</p> <p><strong>July 2nd -</strong> Phoebe is settling in nicely the 2 days we have had her. She still lays around a lot and doesn\'t want to do much, until we go for a walk because she really likes going for a walk. Phoebe hasn\'t had any accidents in the house. &nbsp;We are still working on getting her to use the doggy door. She likes Orion, our black lab mix, but he wants to play and she wants to cuddle. &nbsp;They have gotten along well and Orion gets her to play for a while. She walks nicely on the leash. We are working on some commands but she does know sit. Stopping before crossing the street is coming along. She is good with people we meet on the walk and is very friendly with everyone. She hasn\'t barked unless Orion gets really excited and then she seems to bark to try to calm him down. I think she will warm up to us more over the next few days and we will know more of her personality. &nbsp;I think we are still feeling each other out. &nbsp;Phoebe is really sweet but does need some time to adjust to home life, but would make a great pet for anyone willing to love her.</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div></img>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2566834m6533237.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2566834m6533237.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2566834m6533236.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2566834m6533236.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2566834m6533238.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2566834m6533238.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2566834m6533239.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2566834m6533239.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Phoebe','2010-06-28 14:39:45'],

She got a bath this week because she got a little muddy. She was really easy to give a bath to.&nbsp; S he jumped right into the tub and just stood there until we were done. I wish every dog was that easy to give a bath to! She is so willing to please and will work so hard to make us happy. We let our dogs on the coach but she will look at us every time as if to say is it <br />ok if I come up and sit with you. It\'s so cute and it just melts your heart. We went to the dog park on Saturday. Phyllis did great.&nbsp; She was friendly with everyone. Since she is not into playing with other dogs, she walked around finding people to pet her, and just exploring the park. Phyllis does get excited when you are doing anything with her but can be calmed down if you work with her. If you aren\'t moving around she will just lay down and rest until you leave the room. Then she has to follow you because you might need her. If you\'re looking for a fun dog to cuddle with, Phyllis is the dog for you.</p> <div><strong>July 18th -</strong> Phyllis is doing great. She is learning the rules of the house and that we have things under control and don\'t need her help with the other dogs. She seemed happy to see Phoebe back (her pound-mate) and they get along well. She has learned how to shake so we can add that to her growing list of tricks. Her energy level is coming down now and she only gets excited when she know we are going for a walk or when we come home after being gone. We found that Phyllis is not cat friendly when she jumped out an open window to chase one! She didn\'t get it and seemed to be playful and came right back but the cat didn\'t like it. She will also bark if she sees the cat a few houses down through the back fence. We can get her to stop, her bark is very low tone not very loud, but I don\'t think a home with cat would be a good idea. <br />&nbsp;<br />She really likes to follow us around and will lay on top of us if we let her when we sit down. I\'ve been calling her my little helper because she just wants to please and do anything to make us happy. She is not into playing with the other dogs. Orion (her foster dog brother) tries very hard to get her to play she just ignores him.&nbsp;</div> <p>She\'s not been food aggressive at all while she has been here. I can take the food bowl away or touch her while she is eating and she is fine. All the dogs get treats together and eat next to each other without a problem. <br />&nbsp;<br />Anyone looking for a fun little helper that will keep you warm at night, Phyllis is the dog for you.</p> <div><strong>July 13th -</strong> Phyllis has been with us for only 24 hours but she has totally made herself at home. She has a lot of energy and loves to get out and run in the back yard or go for a walk. When she is in the house, she is really good and no messes so far. She didn\'t jump on anything but will come up when asked to lay next to you. She follows us everywhere.&nbsp; She really wants to be with people. She knows how to sit, lay down, and stay. She is really smart and has a high desire to please.&nbsp;&nbsp; Her high energy means you need to stay calm and she will do what you want. She gets along with our dog. She doesn\'t want to play but as long as he doesn\'t mess with her she could care less what he does.&nbsp;&nbsp; A friend stopped by with their dog who is not very dog friendly, and thought we still had our previous foster dog.&nbsp; Phyllis did really well when the other dog nipped her...she just moved away. She also did well with some very young kids that ran up to us on the walk and wanted to pet the dogs. She let them touch her face and seemed a little nervous but did very well.</div> <p>I think Phyllis would love a home where she can be the center of attention and she will work very hard to please you. Even though she has energy if you are just relaxing and watching tv, she is perfectly happy laying down next to you.</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2608323m6611913.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2608323m6611913.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2608323m6611914.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2608323m6611914.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2608323m6599350.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2608323m6599350.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2608323m6599349.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2608323m6599349.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Phyllis','2010-07-13 09:18:31'],

Pudgey\'s foster mom and dad here, providing an update on our wonderful young man!<br />&nbsp;<br />Pudgey is truly an amazing foster dog...we are so happy with him and know the person (or people) who adopt him will not be sorry!<br />&nbsp;<br />We\'ve been trying to think of the best way to describe Pudgey and I think we\'ve finally come up with it!&nbsp; What we love about Pudgey is that he\'s as playful or relaxed as you need / want him to be!&nbsp; When we grab Pudgey\'s leash, he\'s ready to walk and walk and walk, as far as you go!&nbsp; However, if you\'re having a day where you just want to curl up in bed and watch movies, he\'s more than happy to lay down right next to you (when invited to come up on the bed of course) and snuggle.&nbsp; The closer Pudgey can get to you, the better!&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />Unlike most labs, Pudgey isn\'t into \"fetching.\"&nbsp; He\'s prefer to run to the ball, stare at it, and then come running back to you for more love.&nbsp; He moreso loves to explore outside or just sun himself on the lawn.<br />&nbsp;<br />A few weeks ago, we noticed Pudgey was biting at his paws quite a bit.&nbsp; When we spoke to the vet, she indicated this could be the sign of a wheat allergy.&nbsp; Knowing this, we\'ve put Pudgey on a wheat free diet and are hoping he\'ll leave his little paws alone!&nbsp; We also continue to put ear drops in Pudgey\'s ears every 3 days to avoid any ear infections.&nbsp; These items certainly don\'t seem to bother Pudgey!&nbsp; He acts as though he\'s the happiest dog in the world at all times!<br />&nbsp;<br />We continue to NOT kennel Pudgey during the day as it\'s simply not needed.&nbsp; He hangs out in our home when we are at work and we\'ve had ZERO issues with this.&nbsp; We let him out during lunch and take him in the backyard to play and that\'s just enough of a midday break for him.<br />&nbsp;<br />Pudgey has been traveling with us lately and loves to hang out in the back seat of the vehicle.&nbsp; He loves to put his head out the window and breathe in the fresh air.&nbsp; He can be a little nervous at first, but he settles in very quickly and remembers how much he loves rides.&nbsp; As a matter of fact, the other day we had a vehicle door open and he just hopped right in!&nbsp; We had to grab him by the collar to get him out!&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />An even bigger plus is that he continues to sleep through the night.&nbsp; Not a peep from this guy other than an occasional howl when he is dreaming in his sleep (the cutest thing ever!).&nbsp; Some mornings we practically have to drag him out of his bed...otherwise he might sleep all day!<br />&nbsp;<br />Getting Pudgey to eat has been our biggest challenge to date.&nbsp; We try to feed him one cup in the morning and one cup in the evening but usually he skips one of those meals.&nbsp; We find ourselves \"cheering him on\" to get him to eat which often times will do the trick.&nbsp; We don\'t want to force him to eat but we know he needs fuel in his body!<br />&nbsp;<br />As far as kids and cats, we\'re unsure at this point as we aren\'t around a lot of either.&nbsp; Pudgey doesn\'t seem very interested in cats when we take him to the Natural Pet Center with us, and we haven\'t been around any children with him to date.&nbsp; If you\'re curious, fill out an adoption application and we\'ll make arrangements to see if Pudgey would be a good fit for you and / or your family!<br />&nbsp;<br />Overall, we couldn\'t love this guy any more and are so excited for the family who gets to adopt him!&nbsp; Pudgey will be at adoption days on Thursday, July 22nd so come and meet him there!&nbsp; He\'ll likely be barking but please note this isn\'t his usual behavior.&nbsp; He\'s MUCH quieter at home and at adoption days, just doesn\'t understand why he can\'t play with the other dogs!</p> <div><strong>July 1 -</strong> Pudgey is loving summer!&nbsp; He enjoys being outside relaxing in the sunshine just as much as he loves curling up in front of the air conditioner on a hot day.&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />Pudgey is very proud to announce he&rsquo;s learned to &ldquo;shake!&rdquo;&nbsp; It only took him a couple weeks to learn and now he&rsquo;s an old pro at it.&nbsp; He already knows how to sit, speak, and lay down, so perhaps next we&rsquo;ll move into rolling over!<br />&nbsp;<br />Pudgey had to go to the vet two weeks ago for some ear infection issues.&nbsp; He was on Ottomax for a week which worked wonders.&nbsp; He was into the vet on June 29th and now he&rsquo;s on a steroid (ear drops) 3 &ndash; 4 times per week to prevent these ear infections from occurring.&nbsp; He also takes Benadryl as recommended by the vet to help with any potential allergies.&nbsp; These things certainly don&rsquo;t slow him down however!&nbsp; He still loves to run in the backyard with his &ldquo;sister&rdquo; (yellow lab), he still loves to cuddle, and he still loves to relax (more than anything).<br />&nbsp;<br />We&rsquo;ve taken Pudgey to the dog park several times and he loves spending time with other dogs.&nbsp; When he\'s at the dog park, he likes snooping around, smelling the dog park, playing with the other dogs, and socializing.&nbsp; He&rsquo;s a perfect gentleman with his dog friends!&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />He continues to love going for rides and going for walks!&nbsp; We usually do a 3 mile walk with Pudgey and by the end of it, he is dog tired!&nbsp; Pudgey only pulls on his leash a tiny bit when you first start to walk him but after the first couple blocks there is absolutely no pulling at all.<br />&nbsp;<br />As we&rsquo;ve mentioned, you&rsquo;ll notice Pudgey at adoption days because he is pretty vocal.&nbsp; However, please note that at home, this is not his normal behavior.&nbsp; He&rsquo;ll bark occasionally in the backyard and when he gets excited in the house he makes a cute (but short) howling sound.&nbsp; If you&rsquo;re looking for a calm, relaxed dog who can also be playful (although would prefer R&amp;R), Pudgey is your guy!&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />We are absolutely in love with this fun loving dog!</div> <div><strong>June 11th -</strong> Many positive things have been uncovered since we first brought Pudge into our home almost 3 weeks ago.&nbsp; The first being we love him more and more every day and he is a SERIOUSLY&hellip;SWEET&hellip;DOG!&nbsp; Such a good boy who sleeps through the night next to our bed, isn&rsquo;t overly rambunctious, is house trained, and completely loves to be loved!</div> <p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;He definitely responds better to the name &ldquo;Pudgey&rdquo; so this is what we&rsquo;ve started calling him.&nbsp; J&nbsp; It oddly seems more appropriate as well&hellip;Pudge is just too serious for this cute guy!<br />&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;While Pudgey is NOT a fan of his kennel, we&rsquo;ve found that he doesn&rsquo;t even need it!&nbsp; We started leaving Pudgey out of his kennel during the day and we come home to a perfectly intact house.&nbsp; We&rsquo;ve had zero issues with any accidents or chewing.&nbsp; He&rsquo;s fine just hanging out!<br />&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;He knows how to speak!&nbsp; We&rsquo;ve added this to his trick repertoire.<br />&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;He LOVES going for walks and knows the word W-A-L-K as well.&nbsp; He is GREAT on a leash.&nbsp; We try to do a three mile loop every day and he loves it!<br />&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pudgey loves the dog park!&nbsp; We&rsquo;ve taken him there a couple times and he likes to roam around and play with the other dogs.<br />middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pudgey has no food aggression issues and completely takes treats politely and respectfully. <br />middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;While you&rsquo;re likely to see many black dogs at adoption days, you&rsquo;ll know Pudgey because he has a white spot on his chest in the shape of a heart.&nbsp; Very suitable for this loving guy!&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;On another note, you definitely will not miss Pudgey at adoption days as he is VERY vocal when he is there.&nbsp;&nbsp; Please do not let this deter you from considering him for adoption as this is not his \"at home\" behavior.&nbsp; You&rsquo;ll have to trust us when we say that in our home, he rarely makes a peep other than an occasional bark when he&rsquo;s outside or a whine inside when he gets excited.&nbsp; Apparently the adoption days setting is just too fun for him and he can&rsquo;t hold in his excitement!</p> <p>You&rsquo;d be very fortunate to add such a well behaved dog to your family!&nbsp; We know we feel lucky to even be fostering such an amazing pooch!&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />If you\'re interested in meeting Pudgey (and assuming he doesn\'t get adopted beforehand), we\'ll definitely have him at the June 17th Adoption event at PetSmart (6pm - 8pm).&nbsp; Come visit!</p> <div><strong>May 28th -</strong> Hello!&nbsp; Pudge&rsquo;s foster mom and dad here reporting on the newest member of our foster family. Here&rsquo;s just a few traits we love about Pudge:<br />&nbsp;<br />&middot;&nbsp;He appears to be house trained!&nbsp; While he doesn&rsquo;t hesitate to mark his territory outside, he&rsquo;s a complete gentleman when inside and has had zero accidents inside our home.<br />&middot;&nbsp; He gets along well with other dogs!&nbsp; We had no issue with introducing Pudge to our own yellow lab.&nbsp; They got along well immediately and these two love to play with one another!&nbsp; We\'ll be heading to the dog park this weekend for some more social time!<br />&middot;&nbsp;He sleeps through the night!&nbsp; Pudge sleeps on a dog bed next to our bed (not in a kennel) and enjoys just resting next to the bed at night.&nbsp; He&rsquo;s up with us about 6:30am, ready to get up for the day!<br />&middot;&nbsp;He loves to be cuddled!&nbsp; All you have to do is pet Pudge once and he&rsquo;s your friend for life.&nbsp; He&rsquo;ll lean into you and let you know what should be scratched next!<br />&middot;&nbsp;In general, Pudge just has a happy disposition.&nbsp; He always seems to have a dog smile on his face!<br />&middot;&nbsp;Pudge does great in a vehicle.&nbsp; He hopped right up into our truck and loves putting his head out the window to catch some fresh air.&nbsp; He&rsquo;ll make a great travel companion!<br />&middot;&nbsp;Pudge doesn&rsquo;t seem to have any food aggression issues.&nbsp; He didn&rsquo;t eat much the first night we got him but now that he&rsquo;s more comfortable he seems to be eating more without any issues.<br />&middot;&nbsp;Pudge doesn&rsquo;t try to jump on furniture!&nbsp; While he&rsquo;ll happily sit on the floor next to you when you&rsquo;re on the couch, he doesn&rsquo;t feel as though he should be on the couch too.<br />&middot;&nbsp;Pudge does great on a leash!&nbsp; Pudge is happy to let you put his leash on him and doesn&rsquo;t tug when you go for walks.<br />&nbsp;<br />Pudge doesn&rsquo;t seem to bark but does whine a bit when he gets excited.&nbsp; We&rsquo;re working on determining what might cause this behavior and we&rsquo;ll also work to correct it.&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />Pudge is also not a fan of his kennel.&nbsp; When we try to put him in his kennel he turns into a little contortionist!&nbsp; We\'re working with him on it though and already see some improvements in this area.&nbsp; Pudge is currently in his kennel from about 8am - 12pm and then from about 1:30pm - 4:30pm.<br />&nbsp;<br />Pudge already knows basic commands like sit, lay down, and speak!&nbsp; We&rsquo;ll work on some advanced commands while he&rsquo;s with us (like shake and stay).&nbsp; Since he is such a good dog, though, we imagine he&rsquo;ll be with his &ldquo;forever home&rdquo; sooner rather than later! <br />&nbsp;<br />Overall, Pudge&rsquo;s happy disposition and laid back demeanor make him an excellent dog!&nbsp; We simply love spending time with him and he made it very easy for us to fall in love with him!&nbsp; If you\'re looking for a relaxed, laid back dog, he\'s your man!<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>May 26th -</strong> Pudge has only been with us a few days but so far, Pudge:&nbsp;Sleeps next to our bed at night;&nbsp;Sleeps through the night; Loves to play; Loves going for walks; Gets along with our yellow lab; Loveable, adorable...pretty much the sweetest thing EVER!&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <p>&nbsp;</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2464773m6420018.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2464773m6420018.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2464773m6420036.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2464773m6420036.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2464773m6420044.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2464773m6420044.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2464773m5356474.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2464773m5356474.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Pudge','2010-05-26 11:13:03'],

He also very much enjoys cuddling on the couch and falling asleep with his head on your lap.</div> <p>He completely house and kennel trained.</p> <p>Ripley needs an experienced owner who has a fenced yard. Ripley is extremely high energy and very smart. He needs daily exercise and an owner committed to his obedience training. He would do best in a household with teenage children but no small children.</p> <p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Foster Home Feedback</strong></span></p> <div><strong>April 30th -</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Ripley is really enjoying the nice spring weather.&nbsp; He and his foster brother, Rockie, spend most of the days outside within our fenced yard.&nbsp; Ripley stays busy looking for rabbits and watching the runners and bike riders on the path behind our house.&nbsp; He is no longer fence aggressive and is very appropriate in the yard.&nbsp; Ripley loves to go on walks.&nbsp; We try and take him later in the evening, when there is less traffic on the path.&nbsp; He tends to get overly excited when he sees another dog, but he has really improved from when we got him a year ago.&nbsp; He keeps us on our toes, and is a very observant little walker.&nbsp; When we get home from the walk, he always has a great big smile thanking us.&nbsp; We take him and Rockie on play dates to my parents house, where he has fun with their two dogs.&nbsp; Ripley has really changed our perception of the pitbull breed.&nbsp; He is just such a sweet, loving and happy guy.&nbsp; He adds a great deal of laughter and joy to our house.&nbsp; Ripley would be a great addition to a family who has time, patience and a nice backyard.&nbsp;</div> <div><strong>November 20th</strong> -Ripley is still doing great in our foster home. We have noticed that he has become more playful and energetic, which is really fun to see. Ripley is still working on being stress-free during walk time, and has gone through a huge transformation since we first got him. He is such a people pleaser and would be a great addition to any home that will continue to work on his training.</div> <p><strong>July 9th - </strong>Ripley is very sweet and loyal dog, and he has been such a joy to have as our first foster dog. He came into our home having been house broken, crate trained and taught basic commands. We have been spending the last few months working to make Ripley more comfortable on a leash and out in public. He has really shown great progress. Ripley and our dog get along great together, they both enjoy spending time in our fenced yard and out on walks. They share food and toys with no problems. Ripley likes to sit and look outside to see what action is happening, he is very curious. He is a very affectionate dog and eager to please. He will come when called and will usually follow me where I go throughout the house. Ripley is kenneled at night and has access to our fenced yard all day long. He has been learning new tricks and with some additional time and training, will be a terrific addition to someone\'s family.</p> <p><strong>February 22, 2009 - </strong>Ripley is wonderful! He has such a sweet personality and playful disposition. Since Ripley moved in, he\'s spent his days running a playing with his foster sister, Sadie. They LOVE to play tag in the front yard (which is funny to watch now that the yard is covered in snow!). Ripley is a very active dog, but once the playtime turns to sleepytime, he\'s the biggest cuddle bug! His favorite thing is to curl up next to you and fall asleep with his head on your lap.</p> <p>Ripley is house trained and kennel trained. When he needs to go outside, he\'ll stand or sit by the door. If it\'s an emergency, he\'ll whine and let you know! He doesn\'t spend much time in his kennel, but when you need him to, he\'ll willingly go in and usually takes that time to nap. At feeding, his food is placed on the ground and Ripley will sit and wait for his eat command. Ripley can be a bit of a scaredy-cat, so we\'re still working with getting him comfortable around the mailman, or if someone he doesn\'t know walks past the yard, but we\'ve seen much improvement!</p> <p>Having Ripley has been a joy, and he will make someone a very proud and happy owner!! If you love doggy-affection and being playful, please consider opening your heart and home to him!</p> <div>Prior Update - Ripley is very people orientated and wants to be with his people at all times. I do crate him at night on occasion and he is very well behaved in his crate! If you tell him to \"kennel up\" or even just stand at the door of the crate he goes right in and sits down (waiting for his treat of course). He is an active dog and would do well going for walks or jogging but also loves to cuddle on the couch. Really, as long as he is with his people, he is happy! He will even lay outside the bathroom door and wait for you to come back out. He\'s agile enough to jump a baby gate to be in a room with you ;) He is awesome, has a huge heart and a lot of love to give.</div> </div><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068960m6676001.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068960m6676001.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068960m6493547.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068960m6493547.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068960m6495841.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068960m6495841.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068960m6493548.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068960m6493548.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Ripley','2009-12-23 17:01:40'],

He loves to play with all sizes and types of other dogs. On the hot days we have to wait until the sun goes down or it cools off enough. He doesn\'t have much stamina with the heat. He is being spoiled once a week with rawhide bones. He loves to chew but always keeps it to his own things.</p> <p><strong>May 11th -</strong> Rocky is such a great companion to have around. He loves to be wherever the people are, especially ones that like to throw a ball or scratch/pet him. He is great with kids and any size dog. He takes very well to anyone who is willing to give him even a minute of their time. He is extremely outgoing and loves to be loved and cuddled. He does well with commands: sit, stay, come, shake, and down. Rocky is a goofy boy and will definitely make you laugh at his antics. He loves to learn and aims to please. I have had him since Thanksgiving and he is still waiting to find a FOREVER home with someone to love him, as he will return that love plus a whole lot more!!</p> <p><strong>April 19th -</strong> Rocky is great with kids of all ages and any size dog. I feel he will do best in a home with another dog. He is still a puppy and loves to play. He absolutely loves going to the dog park. The most recent thing we have discovered for exercise is rollerblading now that the weather is nice enough. We try and get to the dog park daily for at least an hour.</p> <p><strong>January 14th -</strong> Today Rocky and I went to the dog park and he did wonderful! No signs of aggression with other dogs at all =) He is such a wonderful dog anyone who adopts him will be priviledged and very happy. He certainly aims to please and has the best demeanor. I really would love to keep him if I could. Our next task will be some obedience training and a spa day at Shaggy\'s this weekend. Hopefully we can be a part of adoption days this Saturday. He is also scheduled to be neutered Jan. 28th. ~Foster Momma</p> <p><strong>January 5th -</strong> Rocky was officially cleared of Parvo today!! We will be out socializing at the dog park and running like crazy for exercise. He has a lot of energy but settles down on his bed once inside. Chew toys are a must and we have gone through quite a few but he is very good about sticking to his toys. Any toy with a squeaker does not stand a chance. He is the most loving and sweet dog-I am privileged to be his foster mom. We hope to be a part of meet the dogs day very soon. He has learned a lot of basic commands such as sit, stay, down, &amp; shake. I am very delighted to see that Rocky has turned around from an ill &amp; underweight dog to a healthy energetic, playful handsome boy.~Foster Momma</p> <p><strong>December 29th - </strong>Rocky was rescued from a regional pound. He can be a little shy at first but when he warms up to you is very friendly. He did OK with other dogs at the pound and at a local dog park. Rocky was diagnosed with <a href=\"http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/viral/c_dg_canine_parvovirus_infection?gclid=CPyM-bTtoZ4CFRyfnAodukAGmA\" target=\"_none\">canine parvovirus </a>. This can be a fatal disease in puppies and dogs. Fortunately, Rocky\'s condition was quickly identified and treated. He has fully recovered from it.</p> <p>Rocky is an amazing dog! Everyday we are learning new tricks and getting better at kenneling. He just wants to be loved and needs lots of cuddling and sturdy chew toys. He loves to play fetch and can\'t wait until the vet clears him of his parvo so he can go play with other dogs! Rocky has really turned around and is in much better health thanks to 4 luv of dog rescue. I can\'t believe it\'s been 4 weeks and he is the same dog I picked up from the vet so lethargic. He has a ton of spunk now and is super eager to learn anything you\'re willing to teach him.</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068427m5254443.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068427m5254443.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068427m5254444.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068427m5254444.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068427m4923865.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068427m4923865.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068427m5082650.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068427m5082650.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Rocky','2009-12-23 14:33:23'],

She has reached her weight loss goal and looks amazing!&nbsp; She never ceases to amaze me with how great of shape she is in for her age.&nbsp; She shows no signs of aging, her hips are in amazing shape, I have a hard time accepting that she is 10, this girl is going to be around for a while.&nbsp; She continues to run with me every day, she is currently running three to four miles a day but she is also content to go for a walk if running is not your thing.&nbsp; We also roller blade which is one of her favorite things.&nbsp; She is in the process of learning her directions and is doing very well.&nbsp; Sandy has also learned to come, lay down, wait, shake, and sit.&nbsp; She has full run of the house with my Lab while we are gone and she has never been destructive or had an accident.</p> <p>This past weekend Sandy came to my parents house with me, I learned that when in new houses she gets stressed out and does best if she only has access to a portion of the house for the first day or so.&nbsp; This is probably due to the fact that Sandy has never really spent time in a house before she came into rescue and my parents have a large house.&nbsp; It is not uncommon for dogs to become stressed out in new and unfamiliar situations.&nbsp; The first night at my parents she did have a couple accidents in the house, something that has never happened in my house, but when she was only given access to the kitchen, TV room, stairway, and bathroom via baby gates and closed doors she didn\'t have a single accident and calmed right down.&nbsp; Basically we kept her where we were and didn\'t let her wander the house.&nbsp; I also believe she may have been confused as to where the door was to go outside.&nbsp; When we left the house to run errands she was left to roam in her \"familiar area\" with my Lab and she did great, no accidents and no destruction.&nbsp; At night she came to sleep with me in my old room and because it was a smaller area she did fine with no accidents.</p> <p>At night Sandy gets to sleep in my room, she has her choice to sleep on my bed or on the floor and she usually chooses the floor.&nbsp; She sometimes jumps on the bed right away but gets off on her own after 5 or 10 minutes.&nbsp; She also treats the furniture the same way, she has her choice to be on the couch or not and she usually chooses the floor.&nbsp; She continues to love attention and will follow you around the house just to supervise you.&nbsp; The other day Sandy was exposed to an infant and she sniffed the baby and walked away, this tells me that she would be great for any family situation be it adults only, adults and teenagers, adolescents, young children, babies, or grand kids.&nbsp; Sandy is also an ideal candidate for the person who wants to be able to exercise with their dog but have a calm dog in the home and does not want to deal with the energy of a young dog or puppy.&nbsp; Give this girl a chance and I promise you won\'t be sorry!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <div><strong>May 14th -</strong> Just thought I would share this pic (see below)&nbsp;with you, it can go in her profile too if you like.&nbsp; It was Bailey\'s first birthday yesterday so they had cake from Waggy Tail Treats.&nbsp; Typical Sandy wouldn\'t take her eyes off the food to look at the camera, lol.&nbsp; I am making them wait in this picture with their cake in front of them, HUGE step for Sandy, HUGE.</div> <p><img src=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/images/Sandy3/Sandy_bday.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></p> <div><strong>April 20th -</strong> Sandy has been in our house for a couple of weeks now and she is doing very well.&nbsp; Sandy was an outside dog at her previous home but 4 Luv of Dog believes that dogs should live inside as part of the family and as a result Sandy had to get used to the idea that she now lives as a 72 degree dog and not an outside dog.&nbsp; She has adjusted beautifully and with only one accident.&nbsp; At first it was almost like Sandy thought she was going to be in trouble for being inside and she wasn\'t quite sure how to navigate my stairs but there is no longer an issue with either, she now loves to be inside on HER bed or mine.&nbsp; She craves human attention so much and I think part of the reason why she likes it inside now is because thats where the poeple are!&nbsp; While we are home the door to the backyard is always open and she has access to the yard during that time.&nbsp;</div> <p>Despite her age she still has A LOT of kick left in her, she and I go for daily runs, I only take her for about half a mile to three quarters and she is pooped for the rest of the day.&nbsp; Her hips don\'t seem to bother her anymore after she started to take glucosamine and she is now able to jump on the bed or the couch.&nbsp; Sandy is currently overweight so we are working at losing the extra weight, I am confident that as she loses she will become even more lively than she already is.</p> <p>I have two dogs in my house and Sandy has no issues getting along with them.&nbsp; I also have a cat and she completely ignores him.&nbsp; I do not kennel her during the day, she has free roam of the upstairs with my Black Lab and she is not distructive at all.&nbsp; She has never had a potty accident while left alone either.&nbsp; I do find my shoes strategically placed upstairs in the living room when I come home but she is yet to chew on them.&nbsp; Sandy doesn\'t really know a whole lot of basic obedience commands she can sit and that is about it.&nbsp; We are currently working on down and come, she is learning quickly though.&nbsp; Once she is reliable with those two we will move onto \"cooler\" tricks and maybe some hand signals.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sandy is wonderful and if you have any reservations about adopting an older dog please try to place your misconceptions aside.&nbsp; She will make a great addition to your household as she is still VERY active and full of life with TONS of love to give!</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div></img></img>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2349669m6458868.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2349669m6458868.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2349669m5153314.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2349669m5153314.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2349669m5153315.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2349669m5153315.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2349669m5153316.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2349669m5153316.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Sandy','2010-04-12 14:53:04'],

She also enjoys relaxing and laying on the couch watching TV.&nbsp; Shasha is cheering on the USA in the World Cup. She also loves to go for car rides and stick her head out the window. She loves when we have bonfires and meet all the new people. <br />&nbsp;<br />Sasha is a great dog and very loving and loyal! GO USA!!</p> <div><strong>March 17, 2010 -</strong> I got the privilege of spending a couple of hours with Sasha at adoption days this past weekend.&nbsp; She is a GREAT dog and will make someone very happy.&nbsp; She loves to cuddle and give kisses and hugs.&nbsp; She did ok riding in the back of my SUV on the way there and back to the kennel, she cried a little but that may be because she wasn\'t able to move freely around the vehicle since I put up a pet partition in the cargo area for my own dogs.&nbsp; Once I started talking to her she calmed down and just looked out the window. She will also make a great training buddy for someone who runs but she also knew when it was time to calm down and relax.&nbsp; Who ever is lucky enough to adopt this girl will truly be blessed.&nbsp;</div> <div><strong>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div><strong>November 16th -&nbsp;</strong> Following is feedback from the staff at the boarding facility where Sasha is being cared for.</div> <div>Sasha is doing really well. She is such a great dog. Sasha LOVES to play ball. She likes it the best when there is more than one ball to play fetch with. This way, she can drop the ball on the way back to you and you already have thrown another ball for her to go get. Due to her older age, she does tire a little more quickly than she would like when playing fetch. Sasha knows how to sit, lie down, is potty trained, and we are working on heel and come. She loves to please and loves attention, so both of these commands are fairly easy to work with her on. Sasha prefers to be with people instead of other dogs, but we are trying to teach her that dogs can be her friend too. Sasha was saved by 4 Luv of Dog Rescue from being euthanized and was adopted out twice. Both times she was returned and it was never her fault; they simply did not have time to care for a dog. Please consider bringing this great dog into your family, she would love to be your friend.<br />&nbsp;</div> <p><strong>August 13th Volunteer Feedback -</strong> I took Sasha to adoption days at PetSmart. She was a very good girl on her best behavior. Sasha made sure to give as many kisses as she could and take advantage of all the belly rubs. She got along fine with all the other dogs, and she loves people of all ages!</p> <p>Sasha went for a walk with my lab mix and they walked very nicely together, one on each side of me. Both dogs then flopped down on the kitchen floor together and appreciated the air conditioning. I did not have a chance to introduce Sasha to my cats. I put her in the kennel for a few minutes while I ran upstairs and she waited quietly for me to return.</p> <p>Sasha knows sit and down very well and she heels nicely after she gets over her initial excitement. She has a lot of energy if she does not get a daily walk, but if she is walked she calms down. She sat still in the back seat of my car. I rolled the window down a crack. She stuck her nose to it, and I wondered how long it had been since she\'d gotten to experience a simple doggy joy like that.</p> <p>Sasha is a great dog and needs a foster home or a forever home!</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068971m5030096.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068971m5030096.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068971m5030098.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068971m5030098.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068971m4390394.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068971m4390394.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068971m5030097.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068971m5030097.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Sasha #1','2009-12-23 17:18:09'],

She is fine with cats but curious and does wonderful with kids. I have never seen any aggression from her since the day I started fostering her when she was just a pup. Great companion and loyal dog. Walks ok on a leash and comes when she is called. She had a good start and needs a forever home to continue helping her learn.</div> <p><strong>June 10th, 2009 -</strong> Shadow is doing very well in the house and seems to not have any problems in a kennel throughout the night. She doesn\'t whine or bark and snuggles up into her blanket and sleeps throughout the night until morning. I have let her out in the house and she has had no accidents at all. I did notice that she picks at her food quite a bit and likes treats so she may have been spoiled with treats too much so I will try to get her switched to a more normal diet very soon. When you do have a treat, she immediately sits down and waits for you to give it to her so she is using very good manners already. I have had her on a leash a couple times and she pulls sometimes but gives up and obeys pretty quick and will follow you. She stays by your side all the time and the funny thing is is that she likes to be held or on your lap. She is a pretty \"thick\" puppy already and has some weight on her so she is hard to hold for very long but when you do she puts her nose on your shoulder and seems very comfortable. She loves car rides, not sure why, but definitely loves to jump in the car and make herself comfortable. I was cleaning my car out and she jumped in the back and laid down and fell asleep. I have bathed her and again she did very good. I have other dogs in the home and she acts like a normal puppy around them, just wants to play. She is showing absolutely no signs of submissive peeing at all, so that is wonderful. She comes when she is called and listens when you tell her no. I think from what I see in her now, that she is going to be a very well behaved dog with the proper training and seems to be a very quick learner for such a young age.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068416m5237596.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068416m5237596.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068416m5237597.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068416m5237597.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068416m4389333.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068416m4389333.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068416m4389334.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068416m4389334.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Shadow','2009-12-23 14:19:52'],

She promptly ran down onto shore and was expecting water, instead she ended up sliding and falling over on the ice. As she did last year, she runs to the lake every potty break just to check to see if she can go swimming yet. Since the lake is frozen solid, she\'s been busy making up her list to Santa. It\'s quite a list so far and her foster mom most definately needs to edit the list. For some reason she thinks that a box of Oreo Cookies and Andes mints should be on there. She might be getting her list and my list confused :)</div> <p><strong>September 9th, 2009&nbsp;-</strong> We visited the vet again for another blood panel on Shyla\'s hypothyroidism and things are continuing to look great. We will maintain her medication and do another blood panel in a year. She has successfully lost her winter weight...just in time for winter again! This weekend we we made our last trip to the lake for the summer. Shyla once again was thrilled to be in the water and I think even made a couple jumps without stopping at the end of the dock. She slowed down, but at least didn\'t come to a complete stop. Shyla did great this summer and our goal of dock diving was accomplished! Maybe Skijoring is next? I think she would love to do that, however it sounds pretty dangerous letting her have full control of where she wants to go...we should probably just stick to dock diving.</p> <p><strong>July 7th,2009 -&nbsp; </strong>And dock diving is mastered! My first jump wasn\'t so great, but I really enjoyed it! Foster mom was really proud of me, I think she was just glad that she didn\'t have to jump into the water first. My foster family says that my technique is actually better than my foster brother\'s (but we don\'t tell him that, he\'s kind of spoiled). Now, I just need to work on not stopping at the end of the dock and just jump from a run so that I can get more distance. I started to learn not to stop on the last day of our vacation at the lake, but will continue to work on that next time. I really enjoy dock diving and can\'t believe that I haven\'t done this sooner!</p> <p><strong>June 19, 2009 -</strong> Well, summer time is here! Foster mom mentioned something about the lake and is now packing our suitcases! Yippee! I told mom that I will just wait in the car until Friday when we leave, but she said that wasn\'t a good idea, so now I will just wait by the door. All winter long, my foster mom, dad, and labrador brother have been discussing dock diving with me. I didn\'t want to do such non-sense last summer, I still don\'t understand why my brother enjoys it so much, but have told mom that if she jumps off the dock first, then I will take the plunge. Mom doesn\'t quite believe me, she thinks that I will just run back to shore and enter the water that way. Darn it, she\'s onto me! Well, I better go and make sure that mom packs all of my stuff for the lake and get back to waiting by the door! I can\'t wait for Friday to come and the swimming to begin! <br /><br />xoxo Shyla</p> <p><strong>February 19, 2009 - </strong>We made our trip to the vet again for blood work on Shyla\'s hypothyroidism. Everything is fine and we will have another re-check in 6 months. The bad news was that over the past 6 months Miss Shyla has gained 6 pounds. She is well aware that weight will be coming back off. =) Spring is just around the corner, so that means more time at the dog park and the ice off of grandpa\'s lake, so this winter weight will be lost soon.</p> <p>We also hope this spring we can get Shyla back into obedience classes as she did very well in Beginner\'s Obedience. We still are working on \"shake\" and \"roll over\", the \"beg\" command was solid by day number two. No surprise there!</p> <p><strong>January 10, 2009 - </strong>Santa brought Shyla a few things on her list of goodies which included a dog bed, which she absolutely loves! And of course, she got some treats, which she really really really loves! She was however disappointed that Santa didn\'t melt the lake for her. She was very confused why the water wasn\'t there. She continued to check the lake on every potty break, just incase the ice situation changed.<br /><br />She is enjoying the dog park even with all of the snow, she runs and leaps through the snow chasing her foster brother with a huge smile on her face!<br /><br />We recently found out that she enjoys to play with a laser pointer. She can\'t quite figure out where the red dot goes, but she is determined to find it! We swear she might be part cat with the way she pounces at the dot, it\'s very comical to watch her. Since she is obsessed with the red dot, we don\'t play with the laser pointer often as we don\'t want obsessive behaviors to start, but it does provide a few minutes of comedy relief each week.<br /><br />We have been working on more obedience commands, we hope to get her back into obedience classes soon. She knows sit, down, stay, come, leave it, and back. We are working with shake, roll over, and beg. I am sure the beg command will be mastered shortly =) <br /><br />She is doing MUCH better with nail trimmings. We no longer need to muzzle and lay on her in order to clip her nails. She doesn\'t like it, but she is tolerant, and she knows that if she is good she gets a treat. Of course, Shyla will do anything for a treat even if that means being nice during the dreaded nail clippings!<br /><br />We will make another trip to the vet soon for another blood panel to check her thyroid levels. We aren\'t expecting any changes with her current medication that regulates her thyroid. She continues to do very well on her medication. <br /><br />Shyla is a very loyal dog to her owners. She is very bonded with us, but she will bond with her forever family and will love you until the very end. If you can provide Shyla with a forever home, please fill out a pre-adoption application.</p> <p><strong>October 12,2008 -</strong> Shyla continues to do very well! We have a few bunnies in the backyard that she is intrigued by. She is positive that she could chase them down, but I think they would be way too fast for her! She would chase them if given an opportunity, but is respectful with leaving them alone as we have worked on the leave it command and she listens very well.</p> <p>Shyla is not thrilled with the rainy weather. She doesn\'t like to go outside in the rain for potty breaks and has learned to do her business quickly and head back inside. This is surprising since she loves to swim and be in the water....very silly dog.</p> <p>Her and her foster brother enjoy playing tug and wrestling, but when it\'s time to settle down they both understand \"enough\" and will calm down and rest.</p> <p>The weight loss continues, but has been slowed down as she really only has a few more pounds to lose. However, her diet and exercise still continue. She continues to do well on her hypothyroid medication and still firmly believes it\'s a treat. Shyla is trying to convince us that she can have some Halloween treats (dog safe of course!) because she has done so well with her weight loss over the past year. With her cute little head tilt when she begs, she didn\'t have to do work very hard on convincing us!</p> <p><strong>July, 2008 -</strong> July has marked a milestone for Shyla...we have finally reached the 25 pound weight loss goal! Good girl, Shy, Shy! She still needs to lose a bit more weight, but we are very proud of Miss Shyla. When she came into our home she weighed 97 pounds and now is 72. Absolutely amazing! We recently visited the vet in which she had her check up on her hypothyroidism. Everything is good and we will maintain her current medication, she will need another blood test in 6 months. Silly dog still continues to take her daily pills as if they were treats. We continue on working with her behavior around strange dogs, she understands what \"be nice\" means and while she may growl if they sniff too much. There are some strange dogs that she is fine with, so it all depends on the dog. We went to the lake over the 4th and she enjoyed swimming again and went on her first boat ride. She enjoyed the boat ride and was fine with the fireworks. Shyla will be a great dog for the right family.</p> <p><strong>June, 2008 -</strong> We went to the lake and Shyla loves to swim, even more than what I thought she would. This labby is a big time swimmer!! She goes out to swim, just to swim. No need to throw a ball, she just likes to swim. She will carry a ball back onto shore, but if you are too slow to throw it back into the lake, she will just enter on her own and swim around. She doesn\'t understand why her foster brother jumps off of the dock after his ball. She seemed interested in following, but isn\'t quite sure yet. With some more experience on dock diving, she may enjoy it. Her endurance swimming is remarkable....she could and would swim all day if allowed. Even the neighbors at the lake commented how great she looked since they saw her this past fall. They couldn\'t believe she was the same dog! She did well with the kids this weekend. Children need to be taught not to touch her paws as she does not like that. But, she did very well with taking a ball gently from her one year old human cousin, she understands the \"gentle\" command, but needs to be told \"gentle\". She seems to enjoy extra attention from children and could do okay in a home with children as long as there are rules with where they can touch her. She does get crabby when her paws are touched, but we are continuing to work on that. We will go back to the vet for another blood panel at the end of June to check her thyroid functioning. She continues to take her thyroid medicine very well. We have found out that Shyla loves the cat food, so we have had to block the cat food access. Her weight loss has stopped due to the extra cat food she was able to sneak, but now that we have found out her sneaky ways the diet is back on, much to Shyla\'s dislike. She is holding steady at 20 pounds lost, hopefully next update we can increase that amount. We continue to go out to the dog park. Shyla is very good with dogs that she knows. She shows bossyness towards strange dogs still, but will chase her ball and leave them alone. She doesn\'t pick fights, but still feels the need to boss. With proper introductions and time to adjust she would do okay in a home with other dogs.</p> <p><strong>Prior Update</strong>: Shyla graduated from basic obedience and is still continuing to do very well! She is now enjoying the dog park and is slowly trying to make friends and play with strange dogs at the park. She still enjoys to fetch her favorite chuck it ball and roll in the grass. I know that she is dying to go swimming this summer as last fall she really enjoyed the water! She is doing very well on her thyroid medication and her tail fur has grown back completely!!! We will do another vet check in June to check her thyroid functioning and make adjustments if needed for her thyroid pills. She still thinks her medication is a treat...silly dog! She still continues to lose weight and now is quickly approaching a total of 20 pounds lost since she first came into our rescue program in August. With the extra exercise and swimming that this spring and summer will bring, I am very optimistic that she will continue to lose weight. She still has some extra pounds to lose, but we take things slowly as she was a very unhealthy weight when she first came to us. She is looking great and feeling great and will be an awesome dog for someone!</p> <div><strong>Prior Update:</strong> We are week 3 into obedience classes and I must admit that Shyla is doing better than I expected! She is one of the smartest dogs (and well behaved) in her class. She catches on very quickly and seems to enjoy the praise that she gets for doing things right. We are learning \"place\" which has been helpful at home, so that she is not right underfoot in the kitchen. Instead she will go over to her \"place\" and lay down. Staying out of the kitchen is really hard for Labs as they want to eat all the time, so we are really proud of this very food motivated girl that she listens and responds to what we ask of her. She continues to enjoy her foster Lab brother (still a bit bossy to some strange dogs) and continues to be good with the cats, even when they are in front of her food dish at supper time. For those that are looking for a mellow Lab, Shyla is your girl. She does not have the typical Lab energy and is really content to lounge around and sleep at your feet, but is still excited to see you when you come home from a long day of work. She would be best suited in a quiet home with an owner who is open to future obedience training with her.</div> </div><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div></img>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068955m4390216.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068955m4390216.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068955m4560955.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068955m4560955.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068955m4390217.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068955m4390217.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068955m4390218.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068955m4390218.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Shyla','2009-12-23 16:53:10'],

She is learning to sit, stay, down, and walk nicely on a leash.</p> <p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Foster Home Feedback</strong></span></p> <div><strong>June 16th, 2010 -</strong>&nbsp;Stormy is still waiting for her forever home! She is a very intelligent and cuddly dog. Stormy loves nothing more than going for a good run or long walk and then curling up next to you on the couch with her head in your lap. She would be a great running partner if you are training for a marathon! Stormy also LOVES to swim and is very glad lake season is here! She could fetch her frisbee in the water for hours! <div><br />I had been kenneling Stormy while I was at work, but I\'ve recently started leaving her loose in the house and she has been doing great! We are finally out of our chewing puppy stage it appears.</div> <div><br />Stormy would make a great companion! I hope she can find her loving forever home soon, as she definitely deserves it!</div> </div> <div><strong>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div><strong>March 17th, 2010&nbsp;-</strong> I have now been in my foster home almost a year! My foster mom just does not understand why, because I\'m a very intelligent and sweet girl! Yes, I\'m big and have a little energy to burn off but what lab mix doesn\'t? I am well behaved in the house, know several commends including kennel up where I hang out while Mom is at work, and am super affectionate. I LOVE kids and playing with other dogs, too. The cats in my foster home tolerate me...sometimes I love cuddling with them, other times it\'s great fun to chase them! I hope I find my forever home soon, as I definitely deserve one!<br /><strong>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div><strong>December 7th, 2009&nbsp;-</strong> Stormy continues to be a very sweet, loving dog. She loves going for runs and playing at the dog park almost as much as she loves cuddling up on the couch with me. Stormy is still a very energetic dog and will need a home that can provide daily exercise, as well as be a firm leader with her when she gets a little too excited. She quickly calms down when told she is being too playful in the house, however. She is extremely intelligent and is becoming a very good listener as she matures. She does great with sit, stay, lay down, and kennel up. She LOVES playing the snow with her foster brother and would ideally go to a forever home that has another dog for her to play with.</div> <p><strong>July 30th, 2009&nbsp;-</strong> Stormy successfully passed her <a href=\"http://www.rrndoc.org\">8 week obedience class</a> and is doing a fantastic job with her commands! She seems to really like pleasing me (and receiving treats for her good work, of course!). She really seemed to enjoy the class, so we might take the next level this fall if some lucky home hasn\'t adopted her by then. She also now walks like a nice young lady with very minimal pulling. Stormy continues to enjoy her runs with Lindsay from <a href=\"http://www.runthatmutt.com/\">Run That Mutt</a> and playing with her foster brother and the neighbor dogs. As a typical Lab mix, she thrives with daily interaction and exercise. Stormy would love to find an active forever home that can give her all the love she deserves!</p> <p><strong>May 26th, 2009&nbsp;-</strong> We successfully made it through Week 3 of Obedience Training. Stormy did a great job last night sitting, staying, and laying down! Good girl! We have been also working on heeling and not pulling when we walk as she does still get very excited at times, and we are doing much better! Stormy is a smart little girl and I think she will do very well by the time we are done with our 8 week class. The more I get to know Stormy, the sweeter I think she is. She really loves to cuddle and has a very cute personality. She really is going to make a great companion for someone.</p> <p>Stormy is also scheduled to be spayed next week, and we will keep everyone posted on her recovery!</p> <p><strong>March 30th, 2009&nbsp;- </strong>Stormy is a very friendly, sweet Lab mix. We are estimating she is around 9 months old, so she is very energetic yet and would do best in an active household that can walk her or let her out to play daily. After playing outside or at the dog park, Stormy loves to cuddle by your feet with a chew toy or bone. She is both house trained and kennel trained, and we are working slowly on some commands. She has already picked up &ldquo;Sit&rdquo; and &ldquo;Off&rdquo; so I think she will do well as we progress with training. Stormy loves playing with the other two dogs in my home and is a little too interested in the cats right now. She is not aggressive with them; just wants to play but doesn&rsquo;t seem to realize how much bigger she is. I think once she becomes used to cats and realizes they are not play things, she will be fine in a home with a cat.</p> <p>These pictures do not do Stormy justice. She has a beautiful, shiny coat and a very sweet face.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;</p> </div><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068963m4390359.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068963m4390359.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068963m6448549.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068963m6448549.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068963m6448550.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068963m6448550.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2068963m4864472.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2068963m4864472.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Stormy','2009-12-23 17:06:00'],

He was scared and very shy. He wouldn\'t walk on the leash. Once I picked him and carried him a little, he warmed up to me. I brought him home and he was still a bit nervous. However, he did not have an accident in the house. He did not like being closed up in his kennel last night, so I decided to close him off to the bathroom last night with his kennel door open and had a baby gate to keep him in there, but could still see everyone else and not feel locked up &amp; all alone. Then he was quiet and slept the whole night. No accidents. He has done amazing with my daughters, ignores the cats, and loves to play with the dogs. NO aggressions at all. He loves attention and will sit next to me on the couch. He absolutely LOVEs having me rub behind his ears. He has totally come out of his shell in 1 night. Walks great on the leash and is now seeking out attention from me and my girls. <br />&nbsp;<br />He will make a great family member once you give him the chance to warm up to you. He is a doll.</p><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2639767m6669685.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2639767m6669685.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2639767m6669686.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2639767m6669686.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2639767m6669690.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2639767m6669690.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','','','Tango','2010-07-24 13:24:28'],

It has been such a joy to watch her personality unfold a little more each day! She has come such a long way since she first arrived here. Vixen was a sweetheart from the beginning, but she was shy and didn\'t show much interest in playing. Now she loves playing, whether it\'s fetch or playing with a stick. She seems to like to play whenever I\'m in a hurry to leave. She\'ll get in puppy stance with her front elbows on the ground, wag her tail and smile at you. Then, as soon as you go to get her she will run around and start the process all over again as I run around the yard trying to catch her! I swear I have provided my neighbors with comical entertainment!<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />Most of the time Vixen just likes to lounge around the house. She isn\'t a high energy dog, except for those random moments when she gets really playful for about 10 mins. and than she crashes. She is also the best roommate I\'ve ever had! So quiet! Every night I bring her bed into my room so we can sleep together. She curls up right away and doesn\'t make a sound. She is hilarious in the morning.... I would wake up in the morning during the week around 9.... I crawl to the end of my bed to look at her ... she is still sleeping! I literally have to shake her awake, than she lifts her head, looks at me and then throws her head back down as if to say...\"It\'s too early Mom!\" It is truly hilarious! So we gradually began sleeping in 9:30, 10, 11.... all the same thing, she never wanted to get up! She is truly a dog after my own heart!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; :-D&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So our schedule has been, bed at midnight and than whenever we wake up in the morning... usually 11. Even when we do get up and I let her out, she usually doesn\'t have to go to the bathroom. She also is a muncher on her food, so she usually won\'t eat right away either. When I first got Vixen it took her about 4 days to start eating, so don\'t be worried if you get her and she doesn\'t immediately start eating. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />Speaking of her eating habits... she does this really funny thing before she eats. She will pick up some of the food in her mouth than drop it next to her bowl. Than use her nose to push all the dropped food up next to her bowl. I feed Vixen twice a day and she eats throughout the day and night whenever she is hungry. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />Vixen has gotten over her fright of the cat. The two continue to get along, and I have seen no signs of violence out of Vixen towards the cat, they are both comfortable being around one another. I hardly use her kennel, I don\'t feel she needs it, as she has never had an accident in the house nor gotten&nbsp; into any sort of trouble. However, when we do kennel her she usually does it just fine. Vixen also has no motivation to get on the couches... I think she is to lazy to jump on them! The only time I\'ve seen her jump is to get into the car for&nbsp; rides! She loves looking/sticking her head out the windows!<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />I have also given Vixen a few baths during her time her. She just stands there and takes it. You can tell it isn\'t her favorite thing in the world, but I have no trouble giving her one on my own. After her baths she usually gets those burst of energy and will run around the yard as I follow behind trying to catch her with a towel. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />As I mentioned in a previous post, Vixen should be the only dog in a house. She does not get along with other dogs no matter what the size whatsoever. On walks she will just show interest in other dogs usually whining when we walk by. If we see a dog coming, I will stop Vixen and get off the sidewalk until they pass. I have a chain fence in my yard&nbsp; (about 3 and half feet ) so I usually will let Vixen out (she loves to sunbathe!) but I am always careful to listen to her bark. When she does I will immediately go outside. She will bark at any dog that walks by and if they are on our side of the sidewalk will also snap through the fence and growl. Vixen is extremely friendly to all humans! She loves to give kisses to the strangers walking by. So if you are considering adopting her you need to be aware of this and make sure you never leave Vixen unsupervised when dogs are around. She cannot go to the dog park. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />Honestly Vixen is one of the sweetest, loving dogs I have fostered. She has such a calm personality and everyday I see a new side of her! She still needs some work on her commands but I feel this is something that she can overcome quickly. She has sit down to a science! Give Vixen a chance to warm your hearts as she was warmed mine! Once you meet her, you can\'t resist her love!</p> <p><strong>June 13th -</strong> I have had Vixen for a little while now and she has adjusted beautifully! She has a very mellow personality and is quite happy just lying around the house. Although she does enjoy her walks, we are working on her walking ability. She is by no means a rough walker but she just needs to work on her leash manners. She pees a ton on walks! She wants everyone to know her territory!&nbsp; I brush Vixen twice a day and there seems to be no shortage of hair, although, it is the time of year where dogs shed and perhaps due to stress of a new environment.&nbsp; I find it fairly easy to manage her hair around the house as long as I brush her daily.</p> <p>Around our house she likes to be wherever I am. Vixen is housebroken and doesn&rsquo;t even try to get on our sofas she is just content laying on my feet. She does well with her kennel, she never whines when being put in there; however it does take a little encouragement to get her to go in. Usually a doggie cookie will do the trick just fine. I have been letting her sleep on my bedroom floor with me at night; she is such a good roommate!&nbsp; In the morning I am usually the one waking her up! Otherwise she would just sleep on my floor all day! We usually get up around nine to eat and go outside.&nbsp;</p> <p>In addition we also have a male cat that Vixen gets along well with. At first she was scared of him, always taking the long way around to get to where she wanted to go. Occasionally she would get up the courage to try to sniff him. I like to compare our cat to a child going through their terrible twos, whenever Vixen did get the courage to sniff the cat, our cat would throw a temper tantrum making every sound in the book, paw at Vixen and then run away. Vixen would just look at me helpless with that face that says, &ldquo;What did I do?&rdquo; She does well with not chasing him. There was only one time where she slowly trotted after him still curious. But Vixen has shown no sign of aggression towards him.</p> <p>Vixen does not do well however with other dogs. She will do fine on walks if we walk by a house with dogs outside. She usually will lightly pull but then keep on walking. However if she is out in our fenced in yard and a dog walks by she will bark at them and show aggression. Vixen will do best in a house where she is the only dog.</p> <p><strong>May 3rd Volunteer Feedback:</strong>&nbsp; I had the pleasure of taking Miss Vixen to Adoption Days this past weekend.&nbsp; She expecially liked meeting all the kids that wanted to pet her and loved all the treats she got for behaving so well.&nbsp; Vixen is extremely affectionate and loves people.&nbsp; If you\'re looking for the total package (smart, funny, attractive...) Vixen is it!</p> </div><br><br><div><strong>If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a </strong><a href=\"http://www.4luvofdog.com/adoptionapp.html\" target=\"_none\"><strong>pre-adoption application</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div></img>','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2051300m6557513.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2051300m6557513.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2051300m6557514.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2051300m6557514.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2051300m6557512.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2051300m6557512.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/fullsize/s3829a2051300m6419678.jpg" width="'+this.picMaxWidth+'">','<img src="http://images.rescuegroups.org/animals/thumbnails/s3829a2051300m6419678.jpg" width="'+this.pictmnMaxWidth+'">','','','','','','','','Vixen','2009-12-16 17:33:16'],
