Dogs for Adoption from the Pets with Disabilities Rescue

Meet Sweet Megan! Her big hound smile says it all; Megan is just happy to be out of the county pound located in rural Virginia. Megan is blind, and was found wondering in a lumber yard. She was scheduled to be euthanized until Pets with Disabilities swept in and rescued her. She manages to get around brilliantly by her sense of smell and paw touch. She navigated her new home and yard within minutes of her arrival. She is housebroken, good with all animals and great with people. She would be a great addition to anyone's family. She is about three years old, spayed, and current on shots. She might have some skin allergies and needs to gain a few pounds, but hopefully a good diet will rectify these issues.

Meet Kazoo. He is deaf but he just thinks that he is special because he is such an amazing dog. This dog has personality plus, he loves people, belly rubs and running in the yard. He really needs a fenced yard for his safety. He likes to play with other dogs, or, as he sees it, wrestlemania time. He is six months old, neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm preventative. His deafness comes from being a double merle, which unfortunately is common in Australian Shepherds. Kazoo is learning sign language and is doing well. He knows the signs for sit, down, treat (his favorite) and drop it (to release toys, balls, etc.). Kazoo is learning that a leash is not a tug toy and would make someone a great pet. He is being fostered in Michigan.

Zelda is a three-year-old Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix. She lived with a family for three years and then was given to the SPCA because of her hip dysplasia. Zelda was scheduled to be euthanized at the SPCA when Pets with Disabilities agreed to help her. Zelda has had hip dysplasia since she was a puppy. She has injured her legs a couple times over the years and they healed without treatment. This all means that Zelda is not a candidate for hip surgery. She manages well with her disability and even though she has had chronic pain her whole life has a very happy disposition. She smiles and wags her tail very often, loves attention from people and will try to run and play (although that should be kept to a minimum). Zelda requires medical management for her condition which includes short walks to keep her toned, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplements and lots of love and affection. The vet who examined her and reviewed her x-rays feels she will have five or six more years before her hips give out completely. Please consider giving this sweet, low maintenance girl a good home that she can stay in for the rest of her days. Zelda is located in Prince Frederick, Maryland.

Courtesy postings: Dogs Available Outside of Pets with Disabilities

The following dogs are available through other organizations or as independent placements by owners; Pets with Disabilities has not seen or evaluated the dogs. We present them solely as a courtesy to the organization or owner. Please contact them directly, using the email address in the posting, if you are interested.

Hilary is very people bonded, loving and settled. She is about eight years old and weighs about 28 pounds (some of which she can definitely shed) and is a very loving little girl. Once a beloved house pet and she would like spend her golden years in the peace and quiet of another settled loving home. She is good with dogs and children, but not up to the frenetic activity of chasing them. Sadly, Hilary has glaucoma. She has to have drops in her eyes twice a day, religiously, without fail. Her medicine costs about $65 every six weeks. Without them, it is not only painful, but she will lose all sight. In fact, she has only residual sight in her left eye and will most probably lose even that. If you have love to give and do not mind the daily routine of eye medicine and the possibility that Hilary will become blind, and if you are in need of loving devoted companionship, please consider Hilary. Hilary is spayed, current on shots, heartworm negative and microchipped. This easy girl just needs love and dedication that she will return tenfold.

Dear, sweet Abby is a very special girl with special needs. Although she is still a young adult, she is mostly blind due to a genetic condition and can see only shades of light and shadow. That little obstacle has not in any way diminished her spirit though; she is very happy, curious, alert, outgoing, and affectionate. She knows "come" and "sit," and is learning to "heel" which makes her feel secure and confident with her walker. She is also very calm and loving when near a person or in their lap. She loves to explore the outdoors and is excellent at feeling her way around. She has a wonderful, sunny disposition around people and she does well with some but not all dogs.

She has been cared for by a holistic vet and has benefited from herbs and acupuncture. She needs a home with no other pets and people who can give her lots of love and attention. Dancer has been spayed, is current on all of her shots and is about ten months old. Dancer is located in Ann Arbor, MI.

Milo is a very sweet tempered boy. He is an Australian Shepherd, what is known as a "lethal white" because of genetic problems. He gets along well with other dogs and loves people. He does need special care because he is deaf and almost totally blind. He is about one year old, heart worm negative, current on shots and neutered. He is smart, but needs some quality time with a foster or owner to help him adjust to his world. He was found as a stray and taken to a high kill shelter. Fortunately, he is so sweet that an animal control officer kept him from euthanasia until he could be rescued. He is neutered. He needs someone who can devote time to him and can help train him.

Bert is a nine-week-old, blue, merle, Aussie pup with a docked tail. He is up to date on vaccinations and neutered. Bert has some vision loss but gets around very well. Bert has good hearing and responds to verbal commands very well. Once he hears you, he will immediately stop and start tracking the air to find you. Bert's foster says, "Bert is finally coming out of his little shell and starting to act like a puppy. He attacks your feet when you are walking outside. He has accepted that he will have to eat dry food too, and has taken to attacking that as ferociously as he does the wet food. He still seems a bit underweight, but we are working on that. He has picked out three spots around the house that he will lie in and one spot where he goes to when he wants to "fight" with his nemesis the window curtain drawstring. He even hops around and barks at it every once in a while, which is the only noise he makes." A fenced yard is a requirement for those adopting Bert. It will also be really nice if he had a sighted companion to help lead him. However, he also seems to do just fine on his own, enjoying gardening with his foster family for hours on end. He is fostered in Atlanta, GA and adopters must travel to meet and adopt him. He will not be shipped or transported out of state.

Jack is a very special boy in need of a very special home. Jack was found in southern IL about a month ago and was covered in snow on the side of the road. He is now healthy and ready for a new home. Jack is a six-year-old Collie mix who is blind. Don't tell Jack though. He gets around great and in most ways is a normal happy dog. Jack will need to go to a patient home with people who are willing to show him around for the first couple of days. Once he is familiar with his surroundings he navigates on his own very well. We would also prefer that Jack go to a home with another dog, so Jack can have is own personal seeing eye dog. Jack is extremely well behaved in the home and is very quiet and well mannered. He is also great with other dogs, cats and children as long as they are not too boisterous around him.

Casey is a young beautiful German Shepherd Dog who is in a high kill shelter in Little Rock, Arkansas. She was adopted and returned because she is deaf. Casey is a typical Shepherd and becomes attached and protective of her family. For this reason, she needs to be adopted by an experienced GSD owner. She is good with children and other pets. She tends to become very bonded with some one quickly. The shelter feels she may do best in a "one person home" because she tends to protect household members. Deaf dogs can live fairly normal lives and learn hand signals. The shelter is over full with new dogs coming in every day.

Tribble (dob 3/2007) is a 15 pound, Border Collie mix with the softest fur and the sweetest face you will ever see. Tribble is a very happy little girl who loves belly rubs and cuddles. She enjoys lounging in the sun and snuggling on the couch or a soft pillow. She gets along well with other dogs and cats and has never met a person she did not like. She enjoys going visiting and romping in the yard. Tribble was born with a vitamin B12 deficiency, but it was not diagnosed until she was about eight months old. As a result, her growth was stunted and she has some mental retardation. She also has retinal degeneration and while she does have some vision, she will eventually go blind. Tribble requires weekly injections of vitamin B12; this is very inexpensive and a 100ml bottle will last over two years. She does not like loud noises and startles easily, therefore she should not be in a home with small children or very active dogs. Tribble is fostered near York, PA.

Boyzee is a smart and handsome, pure bred, mini-schnauzer whose family can no longer keep him after having him for six months. He was adopted as a puppy by his family from an Amish puppy mill last October and although they love him, their situation has made keeping him a hardship. Boyzee is one year old and weighs about 22 pounds. Boyzee has a minor handicap with his vision at this time, although he is not blind. He was diagnosed with microphthalmia which is a condition in which the eyeball is smaller than normal, as well as juvenile cataracts. But his ears and nose more than compensate. He is fully house trained, loves to run around a fenced-in yard, but also does quite well on his leash. Boyzee has been to obedience school, and graduated with honors. He is learning to sit, lie down, come when called, and all the necessary behaviors. He loves to watch TV, nap on your lap, or chew on hard bones or hooves, as well as play with favorite toys. He is crate trained, and is a very good eater. But he does need an owner who has experience with this highly intelligent breed. Boyzee is smart as a whip and knows how to be the boss, so if you don't, he will gladly take over the job. If you show him that you can do the job of boss he will also be happy to take your lead and be your faithful well-behaved best friend forever. If you are looking for a great companion dog to run with and enjoy his company, this is the boy for you. Boyzee will need a fenced in yard, another canine companion and no children under the age of 15. He is in Green Brook, NJ and there is a $300 adoption fee.

Amadeus is a full blooded "Blue" Great Dane. Both of his parents are AKC registered Blue Danes. Amadeus was born May 7 as the runt of the litter and therefore his breeder gave him away. Unfortunately, his new owners have not been very responsible and aside from keeping him current on vaccinations he has not gotten very much. He was fed an extremely poor, low nutrition food which has resulted in him being extremely underweight, under developed and, as shown on the x-rays, an abnormal femoral (thigh) bone development which shows in his cow-hocked looking rear legs. He was rescued. He was neutered and examined and aside from a skin infection, a yeast infection in his ears and his abnormal rear stance, he is fine. The abnormal development is not slowing him down in any way. During his bath he runs around like a foal and enjoys playing in the water. He is extremely loving and affectionate, very handsome and playful. He weighs only 73 pounds when he should weigh between 85 and 125 pounds. He will now receive all the TLC he deserves and is going to be put on High Premium food and some supplements to help him grow and fill out. Great Dane care is not overwhelming, yet every aspect of your dog's life depends on you. Making a decision to own a dog, especially a Great Dane, is a serious responsibility that should be considered. Understand that with a Great Dane, these tangible requirements are greater than a canine of a smaller size.

Champ is a six-year-old collie boy who is just as sweet as can be. He was rescued from a rural WV shelter. Champ is blind, however, he seems to get around okay once he knows the area. He walks well on a leash and likes to ride in the car. He gets along great with other dogs and just loves children. Champ is just a big gentle guy; when given a treat, he takes it oh so gingerly from your hand. Anyone who adopts Champ is really getting a charmer. Champ is in foster care with two other adopted rescue collies. He gets along famously with them, shares beds, toys and is extremely playful. While he is blind, he is quick to find his way around and figured out the dog door very easily with a little help.

Many collies are playful with their mouths and Champ is no exception. He will give love nibbles at clothing and hands to play or get your attention. Champ does not protest too much to a grooming session. He is very polite, laid back, has a great sense of humor, and will follow you around like a lamb. Because he gets along so well with other dogs, and blind he would be best placed in a home with another well-mannered playful dog. That way, he will have a playmate to keep his mind off of the darkness, and of course to give him some extra, much needed exercise. He is in Chantilly, VA.

Her owners have consulted with Caroline Levin, author of Living with Blind Dogs and have come up with a drug regime and diet that are working very well at suppressing her SARDS symptoms. This enables her to live a relatively normal life. She has no physical limitations - such as stairs or walks and the costs of her monthly meds are minimal. She hopes to find a family who will love her and provide a normal, happy life for her.

JR was injured protecting his family from a burglar. In the ensuing tussle, JR lost all use of his legs. He was brought to the vet and now has gained back the use of his front legs. His owners were originally going to put him down because he could not walk, but the vet and a rescue stepped in. JR now has a wheelchair and now he lights up when getting to run around on his own. The behaviorist working with JR feels he would do great alone or with a female dog in the home. JR should not be around very little children, as he can be skittish. However, he should be okay around older kids who have been around dogs and is great around people after he gets to know them. JR does not have much control of his bladder, so he will need to wear a diaper or be taken out frequently to expel his bladder. He is a pit bull mix weighing about 63 pounds. He is currently living at the vet in Gardena, CA where he was surrendered by his family.

Schroeder is a rottie mix who is about two years old. He weighs about 60 pounds. He is a charming guy who likes dogs, and kids, but prefers a home with no cats. He only needs some attention from a new family to make him happy. He is very handsome, smart and wise beyond his years. He needs some work on my basic training, but truly is a pleaser, so will learn quickly. He is hoping for a family who will cherish his funny smile and will over look the fact that he has epilepsy. The medication is very cheap, so please do not let that scare you away from coming to meet him. "The Marlie's Fund" can help pay for my medication, if you need help. He craves nothing more then to be your best friend. Schroeder is in Bradenton, FL.

Mitzie (aka Monster Mitts) is a nine-year-old, buff, female Cocker Spaniel with a very tragic story. She was adopted from Manhattan Animal Care and Control as a healthy youngster but returned years later in filthy, matted condition when her family decided they had no time for her. In the interim, they allowed this once spritely dog to become severely overweight and, when she developed cataracts, left them untreated, with the result that Mitzie went completely blind. Poor Mitzie's eyes now ressemble two glassy white marbles. Lost and confused in unfamiliar territory, she will walk into walls or anything else that may be in her path. We wonder how anyone could have been so heartless as to abandon a blind dog at a kill shelter. The smells and sounds that she encountered in her pitch black prison must have been extremely frightening to her. Despite it all, Mitzie is an extremely sweet and gentle dog. She loves to be caressed and will lick one's fingers with gratitude for the smallest expression of kindness. All of Mitzie's medical needs are being addressed with the goal of preparing her for adoption to a very special home. She is spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested, and up-to-date with all shots. The vet has run full bloodwork and urinalysis to better assess the state of her overall health. The tests actually show her to be in good shape, except for the presence of bladder stones, as confirmed by an x-ray. Mitzie is scheduled to go in for surgery shortly to have the stones removed, following which she will need to be on a prescription dog food for life to ensure that the stones do not recur. At the time of surgery, Mitzie will also have a much needed dental work, as her teeth have obviously never been cleaned. Mitzie is urgently in need of a foster home, preferably one experienced with blind dogs. She is in Flushing, NY.

Lil' Girl is a terrier mix. She is deaf, but she knows sign language (how to sit, stand, lay, come and more), she heels (loves long walks right by your side), she loves people, snuggling, and has been through obedience school. She is masterful at fetch and catch. She may not be able to hear, but she is the happiest, sweetest puppy in the world. She has the cutest posture; when she sits it looks like she is doing yoga! When Lil' Girl is tired she will plop right down on the floor. She is hilarious! She does not get a long with other dogs, with her deafness; she is confused and overwhelmed by them. So it is essential that she is the only dog in her home. Lil' Girl has a lot of love and a copy of all of her doggy school lessons, a key to her sign language, a collar and leash (from Lupine with Lifetime guarantee), updated shots and medical history. She is spayed, house and crate trained! She is up to date on heartworm, and medicines for fleas and ticks.

Patches is a four-year-old aussie that needs a new home. He is a gorgeous, sweet dog that needs some room to roam. Patches is deaf. He would be best in a home with kids at least seven years old because of his herding tendencies. He is fine with other dogs. He is great on a leash for walks and for bathing and grooming. He knows sit, lie down, and wait (for food and to go out). He is an owner surrender, not because of him, but because they had to relocate for work and he is miserable in the new smaller house. He is not a big barker. He is used to being in the house and is housebroken, but prefers to spend his days outside and just come in at night to sleep and during stormy weather; he is terrified of thunderstorms. Aussie's need exercise and a job; he is not going to be a sleep all the time kind of guy. He will make a great companion and is really smart. He is going to need help learning sign language. Patches adoption fee is $150. He is near Akron, OH.

If you would like to meet Mystic, she is available through Far Point Collie Rescue. An application, home visit, Vet and personal references and adoption donation are required.

Life has been a challenge for Okami. He was hit by a car, his body healed but the trauma to his brain did not. He enjoys himself. He loves to sun bathe on a sunny day. He loves to play with other dogs. He loves to chew on a rawhide bone and he enjoys walks. A doggie door has remained a mystery to him and he most likely will not learn commands. His housebreaking is not always prefect. He will eat things in the garden he should not, which can upset his stomach. He is on medicine for seizures but they are controlled. He is kind and will not hurt anything. He is happy, though simple. While he is only ten months old, he weighs 86 pounds and is still growing. He is beautiful but has nowhere to go. He needs a home or at least a foster home. Please help Okami however you can!

Kodiak is a blind White Shepherd and Husky mix seeking a special someone urgently. This beautiful boy has glaucoma which has caused him to lose 90 percent of his sight, but despite this handicap he adapts incredibly well. He is very smart, affectionate and full of tremendous spirit. Tragically though, now he is not only without sight, but is also without a home. His guardians made several mistakes and did not properly confine him within his home and subsequently he had several conflicts with a neighbor's dog. The neighbor has made it clear that he must be re-homed or killed. The saddest part is that this is not this dog's fault. This boy has been living for years as a great family dog and is very affectionate, great with all people and most dogs. He is great on hikes and can be in social environments without issue, but because of mistakes made by his humans his life is now at risk. Please, if you have a safe and secure home environment, consider opening your heart to this sweet dog in need. All we want is to see him get to live his life in the comforts of a safe and loving home. He does not deserve to lose his life. This is an extremely urgent situation. He is neutered, up-to-date on all shots and house trained. He is located in the Los Angeles but cab be transported quite far if a safe home is found for him.

Sheridan is a very special dog with a disability who has been waiting for a home now for almost one year. Sheridan loves people, loves attention, and would be fine with kids who are mature enough to understand how to handle her. She is not good with other animals, and that has been the issue in finding her the right home. She is also very strong even though she has only three legs, so she needs someone steady on their feet and a seasoned dog owner who understands Sheridan needs a strong leader. She can be protective of her toys and treats, but once she trusts you, she will let you take them away from her. Sheridan has been spayed and treated for heartworm in addition to the life saving surgery that was required due to the neglect she endured. She is located in Hamilton County, Noblesville, Indiana.

Rocky is a 55 pound Golden Retriever and Chow mix, about four years old, who is afflicted with an auto immune disorder called pemphigus complex. The disease is not contagious and is not painful or uncomfortable to Rocky as he acts like a very affectionate Golden. But, the disease is very easy to see. It appears as red scabs around Rocky’s eyes extending down to his nose. There is no absolute cure for this aliment so his condition will have to be managed for the rest of his life. Now this is a concern but a small one and you will not notice it much because Rocky is a big sweetheart, just great company. He is a Golden through to his core and good with anything that moves on the face of the earth. He is way too big to be a lap dog but he sure does try. Rocky loves tummy scratches and will give you the Golden stare to get one. He is neutered. He is obedient and a barrel of fun with that Chow loyalty. Rocky will be someone's best friend. He is in Woodbridge, CT.

Joey is an eight-year-young Doxie with special needs due to blindness. In truth, Joey is very able and really needs no special treatment. He is in with other Doxies here in the rescue and gets nothing more than any other dog. His ears and especially his nose have made up for his broken eyes. He has PRA (progressive retinal atrophy) and is totally blind. He is a sweet boy who can be a little strong willed at times but then that describes most Doxies. He is house trained and uses a doggy door and loves at least one child as well as both men and women. He has learned to deal with the many Doxies who come in and out but would really love a home of his own. Won't you please give Joey a chance to show you how able and special he really is? He is in South Central Virginia but can consider all homes in order to find someone special.

Bo is a stunning, one-year old, purebred Border Collie. He is slightly built, weighs 40 pounds and is neutered. He has a gorgeous rough coat (that for some reason stays cleaner and more burr-free than most) traditional markings, intelligent brown eyes, one with a fleck of blue in it. His full long tail is tipped with white. He was adopted as a puppy with the intent of making him a working dog, but when he could not keep up on horseback rides, the cowboy realized there was something wrong with him. X-rays revealed hip dysplasia, and he has since seen a specialist from CSU who recommends an femoral head excision but not until he is fully grown in a few months. In the meantime he was put on supplements (Dasuquin/salmon oil). He seems to be doing well and has less pain than he did before, but that may be due to the fact that at this age the hips have stabilized somewhat. So right now Bo has less stamina that Border Collies his age, and will develop arthritis without surgery down the road; but once this surgery and post-surgery rehab is performed, the prognosis for a full, healthy, and moderately active life is good.

Of course, bad hips or no bad hips right now, Bo is all Border Collie - full of curiosity, energy, silly antics, and the need for mental stimulation and exercise. His ten first months spent on a ranch have definitely influenced him. He is more independent than most Border Collies and can really find his own fun outside - sniffing, running about, and exploring - without relying on his person to provide all the fun. He would certainly enjoy the "country life", with some acreage to live on and explore, hikes and bike rides thrown in for good measure, and maybe another dog to play with. He also may make a great farm dog, as he is so curious and self-entertaining, and used to that sort of life, and is great company while you do chores and on horseback rides. However, Bo is doing just fine in foster care as a town dog, too, and as long as he lived with a family who would be sure to give him lots of daily exercise, he would probably be OK in town too. He is in in Jackson, WY.

Ticket is a little hearing and vision impaired Mini Aussie puppy that needs a new home. Ticket is about three months old and is doing very well in his foster home. He is learning to learn, primarily through "touch" training and from watching and playing with the other dogs in the family. He is an active participant in the family and is becoming more attentive to people every day. He is very active and is sighted in one eye, allowing him to move freely about the house and yard, with supervision, of course. He is happy and quite well socialized for a little guy who was taken from his momma and dumped at a shelter at five weeks of age. He and his siblings were to be euthanized. He was rescued, but not given much interaction with people until he was about eight weeks old. In his foster home, he plays well with kids and adults and other dogs. When he gets rambunctious, the youngest of the family's dogs corrects him with a push or a touch on his body and Ticket seems to settle right down. He is fine in a crate, but will whine a bit when his primary care-giver leaves his sight. He loves to play, but also finds time for serious cuddling. He is being house-trained, taught to walk on a leash along with other basic, puppy appropriate commands such as sit and down. Come is a bit harder as he cannot hear.

Please visit the website and download an Adopter Information form if you think you can provide Ticket with the loving home that he deserves.

Kollin is a very special boy and deserves a loving and caring home of his own. Kollin is a nine-year-old blind collie who was found wondering down the middle of a road and picked up by animal control. He was taken to a kill shelter and scheduled to be euthanized. He was pulled from the shelter before he was euthanized. He has been neutered, brought updated on all shots, and tested negative for heartworm, lyme disease and ehrlichiosis.

Daisy is a four-year-old Shepherd Mix that came into the shelter as a stray back in January. Within a week of being in foster care she had been diagnosed with kennel cough, tapeworms, and worst of all a heart condition. The only way to correct the heart condition, which she had since birth, was by surgery which the shelter agreed to. After a month of recovery and another procedure a few months later she is now healthy and happy. She is on a daily medication and will need routine visits with the cardiologist but other than that she has no limitations. She is also at a healthy weight of 65 pounds. She was not even 50 pounds when she went into foster care. She loves to play. Daisy does need a home with a family that has experience with dogs and will also be able to give her the leadership that she wants and needs. She also needs a home that will not have small young children or cats. She does well with some dogs but the family would need to be very experienced with dogs and their behaviors. The good thing is that she would love to be the only pet. Daisy is a very sweet and loving dog that bonds well with her family but when she is scared or in a unfamiliar situation she may nip. She already knows some commands and walks well on a leash but she does need to attend an obedience class. She is a very smart dog who picks things up rather quickly so she should do very well. Daisy is an active dog who loves to run and play but she needs to have a strong, secure fence that is at least six feet tall or she needs to be leashed at all times when outside. She is already spayed, house broken, crate trained, current on shots, micropchipped, and heartworm and lyme negative. Daisy is being fostered in Gaithersburg, MD.

These two male Aussie mixes have been living in a pen with one dog house between them. They are both blind, neither has been neutered nor received any veterinary care at all. They are estimated to be between three and four years old. They have received little attention, and "intact boys being intact boys," one brother, "Curly." consistently tries to show the other his dominance, therefore the other has many bumps and scars His name is Moe. Having been put in a pen and basically ignored, they are both skittish and need socialization, not to mention lots of love and care.

Their owner has been evicted and the dogs have until Friday, September 14, to find a place to go, or animal control will be contacted and the dogs will be euthanized. There is a good possibility that these dogs could be heart worm positive as their mother was, however they have not been tested.

Suzette is 18 months old and she is a beautiful Chesapeake/Lab mix. Her mom was the Chessie and her dad was the Lab. Suzette is an obedient, loving girl who is calm inside and playful when outside. She had distemper when a pup and recovered but has a slight limp and twitch. Her teeth did not develop due to the disease so her tongue is often hanging out which is quite quirky and cute.

She may have a physical appearance that is slightly different but her mental health is sound and she is a great Chessie/Lab companion. She needs a home to call her own.

Luke is one handsome buckaroo. He has the longest dachshund nose you have ever seen. He is a black and tan dapple dachshund. He is five years old and weighs about 12 pounds. He has a beautiful shiny spotted coat with tan markings on his regal face and feet. He loves to chase a tennis ball or wrestle with a toy, or tear up a stuffed animal to see all the white fluff, or lie on his back and wrestle with your hand. He is a very devoted boy who likes to be within sight (and ideally, within touch!) of my people all the time. He loves to be cuddled and held, and when he greets you, he will place his face right next to your cheek and hold it there. In June 2006, he had a back injury. His family did not know how to take care of me, so they gave him to DREAM. DREAM got him surgery at UGA to see if I could walk again. His back legs are partially paralyzed, but he has been going to swim therapy for a year, and is starting to be use his legs again. He gets around the house just fine, with or without his cart. Most of the time he walks normally, but sometimes he gets tired (or lazy) and drags his back legs. He is a happy, cheerful boy. As my namesake said, "Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand."

If you are interested in Luke, his foster mom can tell you all about what it takes to take care of him, and she says it's no biggie at all. She learned to do it, and if she can, anybody can. She expresses his bladder for him, but she says it only takes about 20 seconds and requires no special equipment. It is easy to do and Luke just yawns while it is happening. You can see his foster mom's blog about taking care of him. Luke is in Atlanta.

Max is half Champion French Mastiff and half Rottweiler. He has epilepsy. He weighs about 113 pounds. Max is extremely excited when he first meets someone.

Right now he takes his epilepsy medicine at 8:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. He must take it about the same time everyday. Delay may cause him to seize. He has about five months of heart worm medicine (last taken 6/20), a trash bin of food, a leash, two bowls and some treats. He is used to sleeping in a cage inside at night. He is a very loving, energetic and beautiful dog. Whoever takes him will love him.

URGENT: Azul is a young and handsome guy that loves to play, and does well with other dogs. He does well on a leash, and is learning to walk with a Gentle Leader. Look how proudly he walks. He has a striking appearance with his white coat and single blue eye. He is however, a very strong boy who needs someone who can handle a dog of his size and strength, and preferably someone with bully experience. Azul would do best in a home with older children as he needs consistent leadership and direction. He appears to be hard of hearing, but has begun basic training with K-9 Consultants to learn commands through hand signals and is making great progress. As an extra bonus, K-9 Consultants will offer a free training session to whomever fosters or adopts Azul.

Harry is a two-year-old, deaf American Bulldog. He was surrendered by his owner to a high kill shelter. American Bulldog Rescue found him on line Sayreville Pet Adoption Center (SPAC), a no-kill shelter, now has him. Harry is energetic, boisterous, and goofy. He is also extremely athletic and strong. Harry had no impulse control or obedience training prior to his stay at SPAC. He is learning hand signals and knows "sit," "No," "Good," "Drop it," and is currently working on "Come" and "Down". Harry is great with both male and female dogs. Although he is interested in but seems to have no aggression toward cats, he should be placed in a cat-free home. As far as children, Harry should not go to a home with children younger than 12 years old. Harry's worst habit is grabbing and pulling the leash when he is hooked up to go for a walk. At 92 pounds, he can be quite a challenge at this. SPAC is working with him to decrease this inappropriate behavior.

Harry is up to date on his vaccines and is neutered. He will need a refresher with housebreaking but is a very smart dog and will adapt quickly to your routine. Anyone interested in Harry must understand that he requires tons of patience, training, and kindness. The ideal adopter will have deaf dog experience, as well as large dog experience. Additionally, the ideal adopter will have a strong commitment toward obedience training and keeping Harry safe. Harry must be kept on leash at all times for walks. A secure, fenced in yard is a definite plus. No open gates or doors for Harry, please.

Valentino has already won the hearts of everyone at the shelter. A nice lady found him wandering around without ID. He is about one year old, and is a white and brindle American Bulldog mix, male, medium sized, about 50 or so pounds. Despite being very strong, he is a total sweetheart and very friendly to everyone he meets! He will soon be taken to the vet for a complete check up. His adoption fee is 175.00. You can fill out an application on line or at the shelter. Valentino's current diagnosis is that he was hit by a car and left alone and afraid to deal with his injuries. There is trauma to the vertebra that may be causing his issues. His back side might not be working properly but his heart is. He is filled with so much love and has such a good spirit. He is going to start medicine that will hopefully help tone his bladder muscles. It will be a medication he will be taking for the rest of his life. The vet is also saying it might be in his best interest to have an MRI. FOWA will do all it can so Valentino can receive the best care possible. The doctors say he is not in any pain and has learned to adapt to his imperfections. Could you? We know there is someone out there who can look past his problems. Adopt and love him for the terrific boy he is. What they will receive is the unconditional love of a dog who wants nothing more than to be loved in return. In the mean time there is a special fund to help with his medical expenses. If you can't adopt, hopefully you can help. Please send donations to the "VALENTINO FUND" c/o FOWA, 187 Dey Road, Wayne NJ 07470.

Thumper is a six month old Staffordshire mix puppy that the tribal police officer rescued late one night. He was mauled by several reservation dogs and nearly killed. He is the dearest little guy. He had so much damage to the muscles in the back of his neck, from his head to his shoulders, that he can't hold his head up high. He looks like a horse that has it's chin tucked down like they do when the prance. But, he's one of the happiest little guys. He has survived, but with some damage and won't be able to look up high or have normal range of motion in his neck. It was about four days before he could walk and now he gets around very well. He gets along well with the our other dogs and cats. He is a little unsure of new dogs at first, and after his experience, it's completely understandable. He is the happiest puppy and his little thumping, wagging tail never stops. He's has a heart of gold and will make an awesome companion for some lucky family. He is located in Mendocino County, which is in Northern California.
