Meet Clapton!



Here is a puzzle for you - how does a dog this cute, friendly, and goofy wind up at a shelter for over 1 year??

CLAPTON was adopted straight off as a baby over 1 year ago, but was sadly brought back for not getting along with the resident dog. We feel that it must have been the resident dog that did not get along with Clapton. He is just a big goober boy, playful and silly and fun! While Clapton can be a bit much for some dogs, he is not at all mean with them. He might run over them during play...but its all in fun ;)  He loves to romp, will share his toys, and has no trouble over food.

Clapton is great with kids! A frequent PetSmart visitor, he has been buried in kids and not minded. He knows how to sit and shake hands and can learn plenty more.

Have you got a home for this goofy lover-boy?

A Kennel Full of Love

One Kennel, Three Good Girls, Lotsa Love!


These three beautiful girls have been sharing a kennel since they arrived nearly one year ago. They are each absolutely wonderful, and sure to make for a happy home.

GRACIE is the stately tan and black motherly type. She is a calm girl who takes pleasure in being by your side and helping you with whatever you may be doing.

PEPPER is of the "sit on your foot and give you loving stares" school! Who wouldn't want that kind of love? She has the pretty coloring of an Akita in a smaller size and more social personality.

SASHA has the best ears in the building, and a silly spotty tongue just to add to the cute! She was so shy and sad when she first came as a recent momma. Relieved of her mothing duties, her adorable goofy personality came bursting out! She will share all your inside jokes (and never tell) and return your smiles.

If you've been missing some love in your life, one of these three girls is just waiting to provide it!

Meet Shadow and Merlin!

Shadow and Merlin:
Two Nice Gentlemen Seek Nice Homes




SHADOW and MERLIN arrived at about the same time a year ago, and have been kennel buddies ever since. These boys have the best dispositions.

Shadow, the brindle sighthound and/or Doberman mix, was a little aloof when he first came. He has really come around and become affectionate and eager for attention. He is a laid-back guy, but when he does run and play is so handsome and graceful!

Merlin is a mature, sensible kind of guy, and that's a very good thing! It is such a pleasure to be around a dog who just wouldn't imagine being any trouble. He is just easy and responsive, happy to go off on his own if you want or to hang out for a chat. Merlin in particular is very tidy, so either he is housetrained or would learn quickly.

It seems there just aren't any families out there looking for fine gentlemen such as these - they are facing their 1-year anniversary at the shelter. They would sure rather spend this holiday in a home. If you are looking for a nice gentleman, but didn't know where to look, please come look at Merlin or Shadow! [Merlin and Shadow are not bonded and do not need to stay together.]
