FOUR SPECIAL FLUFFS – WE’VE ALL BEEN ADOPTED!!!
The beginning of a new year is always the time to reflect on the past and look to the future. Many of our little fluffs have found their forever homes in 2007. However, there are still many dogs up for adoption, waiting patiently for that special someone to adopt them. Today this column will focus on four special fluffs who were not adopted in 2007 and who continue to wait for their forever homes. They are wonderful dogs, as their foster parents will attest, and they deserve a special look. They are mixed breeds, larger than a typical shih tzu or a lhasa apso, and some aren’t quite as fluffy, but all are special in their own right. Please consider adopting one of these sweet babies who were overlooked in 2007.
IDAHO AND RUSSET SPUDS
We are Idaho and Russet Spuds, 11 month old Retirever/Lhasa Apso Mix sisters. We each weigh about 25 pounds and look more like a retriever than a Lhasa Apso, but our mom was a Lhasa mix. Our siblings have all been adopted and we are still waiting for our forever homes. Our foster mom says that we are great dogs, well-mannered, and fun to be around. Idaho loves to play fetch and wants to play, play, play. She will bring her ball to her foster mom FOREVER for a game of catch!!! Russet also likes to play, but she prefers to spread her toys all over the house before she finds that special toy to play with. We both also love the water and enjoy the little swimming pool our foster mom bought for us. We are good car travelers, are housebroken, and are good with other dogs. We would love a family to call our own to spend the rest of our lives with. We would prefer older children in the family rather than younger children as we might be a bit rambunctious for the little ones.
Idaho and Russet are altered, up-to-date on all shots and heartworm negative.
Please contact our foster mom at Ja.Peck@Tenethealth.com if you are interested in adopting one or both of us. Idaho’s Petfinder page will give more information about her. Russet’s Petfinder page will give more information about her. You can also look up our Fluff of the Week features and learn even a little more about us. Russet was the featured Fluff of the Week on 7/23/07 and Idaho on 7/30/07. We promise that you won’t be disappointed if you adopt us.
OSCAR
My name is Oscar and oh what a special man I am. I’m an 8-9 year old Lhasa Apso/Tibetan Terrier Mix and I weigh about 30 pounds. Mom calls me her gentle giant for a reason. For one thing, I’m bigger than my foster siblings, but I am oh so gentle and loving. She says that I am the perfect dog and she just doesn’t understand why I haven’t found my forever home yet. I am housetrained and I don’t bark much. I love to play in the back yard with my foster brothers and sisters and my ideal home would have a yard for me to run. I would love to have a family with older children to call my own, but I think I would be happy living with a couple, a single person, or a senior. I just need someone to love. Whoever adopts me needs to continue my eye medication as I have a cloudy eye and I can’t see very well out of it. This doesn’t bother me in the least and I can run and play with the best of them. I accept my eye drops like a gentleman and I promise I won’t give you any trouble.
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots, and heartworm negative.
If you would like to hear more about me, please contact my foster mom at mada51@sbcglobal.net. She’ll be more than happy to tell you what a great dog I am. Also, please check out my Petfinder page and take a look at my Fluff of the Week feature posted on 11/30/07.
PINOCCHIO
My name is Pinocchio and I am a Lhasa Apso/Dandie Dinmont Terrier Mix. I am about 4-5 years old and I weigh about 18 pounds. I think my foster mom named me Pinnochio because I have quite the long nose. Better to sniff things with if I do say so myself!! I can sniff-out my foster siblings left-over chew bones in nothing flat!! My tongue hangs out a bit as I have an overbite. My foster mom says that my cute little tongue AND my long eyelashes, make me quite the handsome lad. She also says that I am very sweet and that’s definitely a plus!!
I will follow my foster mom wherever she goes and I love to curl up next to her when she is relaxing. I just want to be around my people. I would love a forever home where there would just be someone to love. Older children would be great too and other dogs as I do get along well with my foster brothers and sisters. My foster mom says that I am very good and that I would not disappoint my new forever family. I am housetrained and I also really enjoy riding in the car.
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots, heartworm negative, and microchipped.
If you would like more information about me, please contact my foster mom at lleazure@verizon.net. You can also look at my Petfinder page and check out my Fluff of the Week feature that was posted on 6/18/07. Please consider adopting me in 2008.
