Dogs Available for Adoption
Fargo
Could you imagine this big guy as a member of your family? This is our Fargo, a lovely large male lab mix. He is so well trained for sitting, lying down, going in his crate and not being a barker. Fargo was brought into our rescue group from a shelter where he was found as a stray. We would recommend for this reason that he not be allowed off leash until one knows for a fact that he is bonded and will return. We are looking for a home with a fully fenced yard. He is neutered, vaccinated including Kennel cough, heartworm negative and on heartworm/flea protection. Fargo is estimated to be 1 1/2 years old. After much tender loving care, Fargo has now reached his ideal weight of 75lbs. Fargo has learned that lying on his foster home's couch is okay and if there is room he is welcome on the bed, otherwise he will lay down on a doggie bed. Fargo's ears are like velvet, and for a stray he has a very shiny coat. He loves other dogs and is great with cats too! As all labs do, he loves to play with the other dogs, loves being handled and cuddled, and has learned how to play with other dogs. Oh how this sweetheart loves to go for walks. He is quite obedient on the leash and would love someone to walk with a few times each day. He is housebroken and extremely quiet.

Button
Boy or boy this is one dog that is cute as a "Button". Button has come to our rescue from a rural shelter and appears to be a boxer/american bull dog mix. This handsome guy longs to be hugged and petted. Button is fully housebroken and crate trained. He is 18 months old, 65 lbs, neutered, fully vaccinated including kennel cough vaccine, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, on heartworm/flea protection and even micro-chipped. His ideal family is one where he gets a fair amount of exercise each day. He now is an ideal weight for his breed mix having his food measured out on every meal. He is game for whatever activities you have in store for him. His new family should have at least one person home full time or have another resident dog to keep him company otherwise we feel he may suffer from separation anxiety. This is a solid dog who thrives on attention. We believe that he probably was left alone for long periods of his time and now wants to show everyone in the home home much he loves them and wants to be with them. This has to be a dog that is included in the family each and every day. The family members must enjoy this attention and not be put off by it. Button by the way is named for his "button" marking on the top of his head. He gets along great with other dogs and cats. Button is crate trained and is allowed to sleep on his foster family's bed. What a good boy he is when having his nails trimmed. Eating two meals a day is the right regime for him, he eats well in the company of the other dogs. He rides very well in the van, whether in a crate or not. He is a gentle soul, taking treats from you very nicely. Button just loves the snow and has found to be a good boy off leash with his owner by his side.
Brooklynn
Beautiful Brooklynn is ready to find her forever family. This is a lovely 2 1/2 year old foxhound, 45.5 lbs, who is fantastic with children, other dogs and cats. Brooklynn is so very gentle in everything she does, and is a real lady through and through. She is considered a high energy breed so a family that wants to take her for hikes each day, perhaps in the country or the conservation area will be her ideal. Typical of hounds she enjoys very much the company of people and other dogs. Her ideal home certainly may be one where one of the family members are home full time or there is another resident canine to play with. Brooklynn is fully crate trained and comes with her very own crate and bed. She will sleep either on her bed on a couch or on her family member's bed. She loves to go for walks but is a puller. We would recommend a body harness for her. As a Foxhound she is a runner and will follow her nose. We have been told that she can scale a 6 foot wood fence so she should never be left in the yard on her own. A fully fenced property is mandatory for this reason. Brooklynn or "Brookie" as she called for short, takes everything very gently from you, treats, toys etc. Barking is minimal, only if she sees a squirrel and wants to run for it etc. Brookie has very long legs and a short coat which results in minimal shedding. This gal is very good to have her nails trimmed by her foster parent. She is spayed, up-to-date with vaccines, including Bordetella, heartworm tested negative as well as on a regime of heartworm/flea protection monthly.

Maple
Miss Maple is lovely small beagle who was rescued from a local rural shelter. This little gal is very socialized with both dogs and cats and typical of hounds gives great big bugs and tiny kisses. Maple is 25 lbs and estimated to be about 2 years old. She is fully crate trained and sleeps with her foster mom on her bed each night. Maple loves to go on walks, but she is a real puller, as her breed mix allows for her to follow her nose. Maple has been named for her lovely maple colored markings. She loves to play tug of war and enjoys her treats in her kong each day. Maple is house broken, fully vaccinated and up-to-date with vaccines. Maple is good in the car and doesn't get car sick. She will be spayed before the adoption as she just finished her heat cycle. Her ideal home is a fully fenced one, with a second resident dog being a true bonus for her. She loves children and all people in general. Maple is slightly timid upon first meeting but quickly warms up, especially if food is used as a motivator :)
