Jail Dog Bluey
Sex: Male Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler Mix Age: 7-8 months Weight: 27 pounds About Me: This adorable guy is Bluey. He came to us from a local shelter after being found as a stray. His right eye is scarred, and our veterinary staff believes he has limited sight in that eye. Someone needs to tell Bluey that… He is one smart cookie that doesn’t let that get in his way! He has picked up on his training very quickly and loves to learn new things. Bluey is very typical of a herding breed and needs plenty of exercise not only physically but mentally too. The American Kennel Club has this to say about this breed: The compact but muscular Australian Cattle Dog, also called Blue or Red Heeler or Queensland Heeler, is related to Australia's famous wild dog, the Dingo. These resilient herders are intelligent enough to routinely outsmart their owners. Standing between 17 to 20 inches at the shoulder, the Australian Cattle Dog is a sturdy, hard-muscled herder of strength and agility. The ACD is born with a white coat that turns either blue-gray or red. Both coat colors may feature distinctive mottling or speckling patterns. ACDs have immense work drive and excel at controlling and, of course, moving livestock. Their boundless energy and supple gait make them excellent running partners. ACDs are true-blue loyal, famously smart, tenacious, ever alert, and may be wary of strangers. If an ACD isn't challenged, it easily becomes bored and may get into mischief. It is recommended that ACD owners participate with these versatile dogs in some work, sport, or regular exercise to keep them mentally and physically fit.

***PENDING ADOPTION***
Jail Dog Deya Sex: Female Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Age: 6 months Weight: 56 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 Kane Sex: Male Breed: German Shepherd Mix Age: 3-4 months Weight: 40 pounds About Me: What a gorgeous boy Jail Pup Kane is especially with that ear that flips over at the top! He and his sister Heidi have recently started their training with our program. They are both very intelligent and are picking up on things very quickly. Kane is a little shy when meeting new people but is coming out of his shell. His handler has been boosting his confidence and giving him plenty of reasons to be sure of himself with his training. Kane is a working breed dog and will need a home that is familiar with the physical and mental needs of such breeds. At 3 ½ months of age he is already 40 pounds so he will be a big guy as an adult.

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! |

Jail Dog Tien
Sex: Male Breed: Looks like a Shepherd Mix Age: 5 years Weight: 76 pounds About Me: Are you looking for a loving gentleman that is out of the puppy stage, but active? Someone that isn't interested in chewing on your shoes, teething on your arms, or keeping you up all night? Then look no farther than Jail Dog Tien. Tien just wants to have a family he can share his unconditional love with. He loves to play, and does well with a few of the Jail Dogs in the unit. He can be picky with his furry friends, but plays well with the lower energy, non reactive dogs. Tien is not a fan of small children but would love some teenagers of his very own. Don't let this dashing, debonair, boy slip through your fingers! If you would like to make Tien your very own fill out an adoption application today. |

Jail Dog Tira
Sex: Female Breed: Chihuahua/Beagle mix Age: 4 months Weight: 10 pounds About Me: This little munchkin is Tira. She is a cute Chi/Beagle mix that adores all that adore her. She is shy and can be overwhelmed by new people at first, but once she feels secure, she only wants you to “pick her up” and she promises to “cheer you up”! Tira is all puppy! We have found that she would do best in a home with another dog her size to keep her company. She can be willful, so she needs to be given the rules, boundaries and limitations all furry family members need. For more information on how you can adopt Tira fill out an adoption application. |
