Let us introduce you to some wonderful, forgotten puppies who have been forced to grow up here in a concrete run instead of a loving home:
"Lexie"
I'm an 8 month old, female, chocolate lab mix puppy who was found as a stray back in October. As if being a baby lost and alone wasn't enough, I had nearly no fur on my body. It was determined that I had a severe case of Demodex Mange which is a hereditary skin condition triggered by stress. The veterinary clinic at the shelter has been treating me and I'm almost totally over the Demodex and my coat has come in nicely. I'm a super cute puppy both in looks and temperament. I love to grab you by the pants leg to walk you outside to play with me! I also LOVE toys! I will entertain myself with them.
While I lived in the clinic, I was allowed to have a playtime in the side yard. It became a daily occurrence to see a fat little puppy just sitting in the yard with a stuffed toy in my mouth, watching the world go by. I love my fuzzy friends. Demodex is not contagious to people or other animals. My skin will continue to improve but the key to a permanent recovery would be to take me away from the stress of living in a shelter kennel. I've grown up here and suffered through my puppy days with the itchy skin and I really need and deserve the chance to live in a real home where I would be loved and have a family to play with me. I'm no longer a fat little puppy, but instead, a pretty adolescent who would be a good dog for any family. I'm really a good girl, I'm lots of fun and I have so much love to give. Won't you please come to visit with me at the shelter and give me a chance to finish growing up in a forever home? You won't regret it!
I'm a little 18 lb. Dachshund mix female, about 1 year old. I have been living in this kennel since October. I was dropped off at the shelter with my 4 puppies because my owner was moving and not taking me. My puppies were quickly adopted but so far nobody has asked to visit with me. I was barely a puppy myself when I had my puppies and have not had much good in my one year of life. I never had the chance to be part of the family who owned me.
I lived outside my whole life and when the time came I had my puppies outside and that became home for all of us. I was not socialized, so though I'm a sweet girl, I'm not familiar with being a companion dog. I've been lucky enough to have a nice lady come to take me for walks and spend time with me the past few weeks, so I can walk on a leash now and I'm getting more familiar with attention from people. I need a home where someone can love and play with me and teach me that it's a good thing to be part of a family. I'm a Dachshund size dog with lots of playful energy and I would fit easily into a caring family. Please give a cute little girl the chance to be part of a loving home for the first time in my life!
