Rocket's Been Adopted!

Rocket came to us the week of June 18, 2012 so we have not had much time to assess him but the shelter says the following about him:

He is a big goofy puppy who loves to play and is good on a leash. He is great with other dogs and keeps his kennel clean. He loves the water and is very smart. He is respectful to cats (not sure that means he loves them though). He is a people pleaser, well-mannered and a perfect companion for a family. Overall he is a big sweetheart. He is currently up to date on shots and ready for puppy class...which he would make an A+ in with a little time and one on one attention...any dog is waiting for that! Won’t you give him a chance to be part of a loving family?

Katya's owner dumped her at the shelter because she had an injured tail and she did not want her anymore. We pulled her from the shelter and she was taken right to the vet.

German Shepherd Mix-Delilah Is Available For Adoption

Name: Delilah
Age: puppy, 4 mo as of May 30, 2012
Gender: female
Weight: 25-30lb w/ small frame, will be small shepherd
Mix/Purebred: mix with possibly Australian Shepherd
Housetrained: working on it
Crate trained: working on it
Heartworm Negative/Positive: negative, too young
Spayed/Neutered: will be at time of adoption
Micro chipped: will be
Good with other dogs: timid and shy, still assessing
Good with cats: can be trained at this age
Good with children: still assessing

Delilah was originally with some people who kept her in an apartment with little to no socialization. Then the apt manager would not allow her to stay. She has not been socialized with other dogs or people and she is timid and scared. We have worked with dogs like this many times before and have seen that with time and proper care and training she will probably come out of her shell and be a great family companion in no time at all. Puppies are very resilient and can learn very quickly given the time and attention they need. Puppies in general need lot of your time so be ready if you plan on considering adopting a puppy.
Her markings are striking with different colors of sable, red and black. She has a smooth and somewhat fluffy coat. She might be mixed with Australian shepherd since she has a stubby bobtail. She probably won't get over 50lbs but that is a great size to do obedience training or agility or just having a lap dog.

Update:
Delilah still would not approach our weekly volunteer dog walker today but did sneak up to give him a lick before running away. She now needs attention from others to get past her fears, but she is making great strides. Delilah could us a volunteer walker every day to help get past her fears and be ready for a forever home. Please consider coming out to take her for walks, grooming, or taking her along on an outing running errands. She really needs the socialization!

Please email or check back and see changed we post as we get to know her more. We have only had her in our rescue for 1-2 days of June 4, 2012.
