Jail Dog Deya
Sex: Female Breed: Looks like a Bulldog Mix Age: 4 months Weight: 27 pounds About Me: Jail Pup Deya has been with us for a little while. When her handlers chose her name, they picked Deya which is “One who holds light”, and that name literally describes this wonderful young pup. She came to us after we found that her owner/breeder was going to take her to a shelter because she was born blind. At 8 weeks of age, she arrived in our program and has been a ball of energy and spunk. Since Deya was born blind, she finds the world primarily through her nose and ears. Her handlers are learning all kinds of new skills while training her and have become better handlers because of her. Deya has already picked up her basic obedience commands and knows to go potty when she is outside. Her handlers have taught her how to manipulate stepping up and to follow them through sound and scent, (this little roly poly girl has never met a treat she didn’t like!). Deya and her handlers continue to work with our trainers to help get her ready for a home of her own. Deya is going to need a special adopter that will be able to meet her needs. All dogs thrive on routine, and Deya will depend on it. While you might have to adapt your routine a little to accommodate her circumstances, you will need to avoid changing important landmarks in her world, such as where her food and water bowls are placed. Above all, don’t rearrange the furniture. Blocking off the stairs and entrances to pools or other high-risk areas will help prevent accidents. Baby-proofing supplies can come in handy and make it easy to blunt sharp-edged coffee tables and other furniture. When you are not home you will need to consider crating Deya or restricting her to a single, hazard-free room. We do believe that Deya has limited sight, (she can tell when the lights are turned on and off), but she doesn’t see objects. We are sure we will be screening a lot of applications because she is absolutely adorable. If you apply, we ask that you be as thorough as possible on your application about how you will be able to meet her needs. Someone that is familiar with working with a blind dog would be preferred. Deya is still just a puppy and unlike older dogs that go blind, Deya has different needs because she has never had sight. If you think Deya would be a good addition to your family please fill out an adoption application today. |

Jail Dog Rocky
Sex: Male Breed: Looks like a Bully Breed Mix Age: 1 year Weight: 60 pounds About Me: This adorable guy is Rocky! He is a 1-year-old, terrier mix that is available for adoption. Rocky, like his namesake, has battled his way to the top and is now ready for a new beginning of his own. We met Rocky after he was found tied to a door at a local church by a homeless person. This person had gone into the church that day and inquired about some of their services, but did not mention a dog. Later that evening that person left Rocky tied to the front door by a shoe string. When the staff arrived later that evening for church services they found Rocky wagging his tail waiting for someone to come and save the day. The staff at the church were able to check their security cameras to find that the person they had spoken with earlier that day had been the one that left Rocky tied to the door. The loving people at the church wanted to make sure Rocky got a second chance at a new beginning so they set off to set him up for success and reached out to our program for help. He is still all puppy and has that wonderful puppy energy to share. Rocky's foster dad, (who is the pastor of the church he was found at) states that he is eager to please, wants to learn new things and is house trained. He also says that Rocky is a "velcro dog" and follows him everywhere he goes around the house and church and then wants to snuggle when they sit down. As like the quote from the movie "Rocky", "It ain’t about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.” We know this guy has been down and out, and now it is his turn to shine! Rocky is now a part of our program so we would like to find this handsome boy a home! Rocky has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccines. For more information on how you can adopt Rocky fill out an adoption application today! |

***PENDING ADOPTION***
Jail Dog Samantha Breed: Golden Retriever Sex: Female Age: 7-8 years Weight: 84 pounds About Me: Last week a breeder retired six adult Golden Retrievers who were no longer “productive” and now they are all safe with rescue groups. This dear girl is Samantha. Sadly, she never even had a name before she came to us. Samantha is approximately seven to eight years of age, and she weighs 84 pounds. If you know anything about Goldens, they are incredibly social, loving, velcro dogs. Samantha lived in an outdoor kennel away from people her entire life. She had litter after litter and her only purpose in life was to make puppies. Thankfully those days are over now. Samantha was recently spayed and brought current on her vaccinations. Unfortunately, she tested positive for heartworms which we have already started her treatment for. Her teeth were cleaned, her toenails cut, her painful, dirty ears were cleaned and medicated, so now she is on her way to a better tomorrow. Samantha has a beautiful coat that took her handlers 6 baths to get it smelling and looking fantastic. Her tummy sags from nursing dozens and dozens of puppies over the years, but she has a personality that craves human attention. She is wonderful with other dogs of all sizes. She is good on a leash and does well on car rides. Now that Samantha has been in our program for a few days her personality is shining through. Samantha has had a difficult life until now and we are looking for someone who will be 100% committed to making sure that the rest of her days make up for the neglect she suffered in the past. We are looking for a foster to adopt home for Samantha as she completes her heartworm treatment. We will provide her foster family with everything she needs, they would just have to bring her to our clinic in Lawrenceville to complete her treatment. If ever a dog deserved pampering, it’s sweet mama Samantha. If you can offer her the love and care she deserves, please fill out an adoption application today. |
