I'm so pretty, I like a quiet home without a lot of activity

Ocoee is a 20 month old girl, that is spayed and is housebroken. She does know some basic commands. She will do best is a quite home without small children. She is timid and needs an understanding family that will keep working with her on socialazation so she can become more outgoing in new situations. Due to her timid nature, for her security from running away from a stressful encounter, she will require a physical, above ground fence of at least 48 inches high. She is seeking a West Michigan home if possable so she can keep in touch and maybe she her from time to time.

Maximus is really cool!

How can you not fall in love with me????

Adopted!!!!! 2-22-12

Maximus, AKA Max, is a very happy boy that needs a new home. He is a very compact but stocky boy and almost 4 years old. He seems ot love people and likes other dogs, although in the past he was reactionary to some new dogs he met. Good with kids, per his old family. He is intact and will be neutered on 2/16. He just arrived on 2/13 so he will be under evaluation while he heals from his surgery.

He seems pretty happy go lucky and wanted to play with me within an hour or so of arriving. He has not started playing with the other dogs yet, and did get into a fight that he did not provoke, but defended himself. He did everything a dog can do to avoid it. Since he is intact he has a tendency to make a lot. He marked inside his first night here, but stopped right away, but still waters every bush and tree in the yard. That should reduce as he gets more comfortable and after the neuter. He has climbed a cyclone fence so he will need to be watched when outside. He lived with another dogs and we think with a companion he may not look to get out. But that reason of getting out he will need an above ground fence, not the shock type underground type.

Bella such a cutie

Am I cute or what!

Adopted on 3/17/12 

Bella is still available as of 2/15/12

Bella is 4 years old, exact date is unknown. She is a sweet girl that has been in several homes. She was rescued when she was 2 and lived in the new home for 2 years when they relocated and did not have as much room as she needed. Then got placed is a new home which was not ready for a new dogs as their current was terminal with cancer, so she came to us. She likes other dogs and would do well with a playmate. She is supposedly shy of men but warmed up to me in minutes and now we are best buds. She would love a home where she can cuddle next to you on the couch or bed. We think she was not made part of the family and more of “just a dog”. She loves being with her people. We prefer an above ground fence as an invisible shock style will scare her. She had not been to a vet in at least 2 years, maybe not since pupppyhood but is being spayed on 1/12/12 and getting all he shots. She has been checked for worms and heartworms and is clear.

Update, 1/17/12 Bella has turned into a very sweet girl, very loving and almost clingy. It is also confirmed that she needs a fence. She snuck out around us and off into the front yard. She then would not come and took off down the road. We did manage to catch her after about 10 minutes.

Dog!! Who’s a dog!

Update 2/15 Bella has really settled in here and is going to be hard to let go, she really loves us. She has gotten along great with our dogs and the new boy we just took in. She has learned to play with other dogs and seems to really like the company. If we did not alreay had our gang she would not leave, she is that special.
