Scarlet soaking up some much needed attention

Scarlet has been hamming it up and soaking up some much needed attention. She is an all around sweet dog. She has her sit cue well on its way to stimulus control. She is currently working on her down cue and her loose leash walking. She is wonderful on recall and an all around bundle of joy! 

Hailey got her wish

From Adopted Dogs

A wonderful family open up their home to her! She went home with 4 children to keep her happy.

Dodger charming the ladies!

Dodger is one heck of a find! His personality is as fun loving and as colorful as his coat! He spent the day running and playing with Skyy and Sage. He always comes when he is called and is a ham for attention. Lovable, sweet and cuddly summarize this boy. Weighing in at 48 lbs, Dodger is content to run and play with dogs or sit with his humans. 

Scarlet goes for her vet visit!

Scarlet visited Animal Doctors today and received a clean bill of health. She tested negative for heartworm and lyme. She weighed in at 46.7 lbs and behaved like a dream. She is scheduled for her spay at the end of April. She stopped by for a brief play session at Barker’s Dozen before heading home. Scarlet interacts well with cats as well as the other dogs. She is smart and sweet! Scarlet will start her crate training in the morning.

 

TFDC welcomes our newest arrivals!

We have two new arrivals, courtesy of our sponsors and the Jefferson County Dog Shelter. While the staff there are devoted and loving, kennel life is hard! Please welcome Scarlet and Dodger!

Scarlet is a Doberman mix. She is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. She is calm, submissive, housebroken and loves people. She would be a welcome addition to any family. Scarlet will not be available for adoption until after her spay surgery in April. In the meantime, if you think she is the perfect match for you, now is the time to get to know this beauty. This girl has the charm and the charisma to make anyone’s heart flutter! Thanks go out to Barker’s Dozen for sponsoring this gem!

Dodger has been in county lock up twice this year. He is a colorful mix of patches and bouncy fun. This dog is all heart. He knows when it is time to go and when it is time to stop. Dodger is smart and people oriented. He will not be available until after his neuter surgery in April. Dodger had his vet visit today and was a low positive for Lyme disease. He was prescribed the appropriate course of antibiotics and will be back to perfection upon completion of his meds. His heartworm test was negative. Thanks to Matt and Brooke Flynn as well as Barker’s Dozen for sponsorship of this handsome fellow.

Hailey is still waiting for her forever home. She has had a lot of inquiries but we are waiting for a home that will fit her like a glove. Hailey loves people and being around people. She would do well in a home where a companion dog is needed. This is one sweet and caring dog who is waiting patiently for a place to call her own.All of the rescues we currently have are great on or off leash. They are started on their basic cues. 

                        

 

  

Roscoe finds his forever person!

  Roscoe’s wait for the perfect person has come to a screeching halt. After two years of searching he has found a place to call home. Roscoe is looking forward to a lifetime of hiking, camping and hanging out with his new person! It seems like a match made in heaven!

Miss Hailey is back in town!

While we always hope for successful adoptions, things don’t always work out the way everyone wants them to! What is most important is that when things aren’t working out, that people do what is best for the animal. While Hailey was loved at her new home, her new family realized that she needed more companionship than they could offer with their busy schedules. When they came to this realization, they brought Hailey back and asked for a few days to rethink the decision so that they were doing what was right for the family and Hailey. After much thought and some heartache, they decided that Hailey would be better off in another situation. So we are sad as we know how hard emotionally it is, we are also happy that they were responsible and mature in making such a difficult decision. And of course we welcome her back with open arms! As you can see from the above picture, Molly and Hailey enjoy spending time hanging out with one another. Sharing apparently is not an issue for them!

Bella finds her perfect home and gets two loving kids in the deal!

Bella has finally found heaven on earth! She has a couch to sleep on by day, complete with a loving little girl to give her hugs, kisses and TV snuggle time. By night she moonlights as sentry to a loving young boy. She sleeps on his bed and lets out an occasional warning to all the boogey monsters and scary things that go bump in the night know that she is on guard. When she is not busy on the couch or working the night shift, she is begging honey nut cheerios off of her new Mom. She also has a bouncy, playful Murphy dog to scold and remind to behave. Bella has waited a long time for a place to call her own and the wait was definitely worth it!

Update on Reese!

Reese is fitting in wonderfully in her new home and is loved very much! She has been playing, sleeping and eating well! She is truly home!

Harley blossoming in his new home… takes up basketball!

Harley is very much loved and cherished in his new home. He continues to be a big ham and has taken up basketball as a way to entertain his fans as well as burn off extra energy. He is truly beaming with all the love and happiness that surrounds him!
