Sunday's Sweethearts!

Hello again, faithful readers!  Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest shelter pups available for adoption!  There are some really great dogs today - let's jump right in and meet them!

Darke County Dogs

(if you're interested in adopting any of these dogs, please contact the Darke County Animal Shelter at 937-547-1645!)

Meet Ranger!  He's a 4-year-old Australian Cattle Dog/Husky mix.  He has a Husky face and is a super-friendly guy!  He'll make someone a great walking partner & awesome companion!

Next up is Tucker!  He's a 1-year-old Lab mix who is very friendly.  He just needs a good home!

I won't lie - I actually "awww"ed out loud when I saw this little sweetheart's picture!  This is Abby, a 7-month-old Lab mix.  The shelter staff says she's an absolute sweetheart & she loves people - she's just waiting for her new best friend to come find her!  She'll be available for adoption on September 1st! 

Meet Wendy!  She's a 3-year-old Black Lab mix who is very friendly and loves to play!  She will make a super companion and lifelong friend.  (On a side note, I can't help but notice the large number of black dogs up for adoption at DCAS - statistically speaking, they're usually the last to be adopted, through no fault of their own.  Give one of these sweethearts a chance today - they'll thank you for the rest of their lives!)

This little guy is Sparky!  He's a 3-year-old Pug mix who only weighs ten pounds!  He will make a great housedog & is looking for a good home!

Miami County Dogs

(if you're interested in adopting any of these dogs, please call the Miami County Animal Shelter at 937-332-6919!)

Meet Lilly!  She's a 9-month-old Australian Cattle Dog who was released to the shelter by her owners because they could no longer care for her.  The shelter staff says she is very mild-mannered and well-behaved.  She's already spayed, and is a little small for her breed.
 

Next up is Peanut!  He's a 2-year-old Chihuahua who was brought in as a stray.  He will be available for adoption on 8/29/11.  He's a little shy & nervous, which is typical for his breed.  He'd probably do best in an adult home!

This handsome fellow is Dundee!  He's a 1 or 2-year-old Doberman mix who was brought in as a stray.  He is a friendly & pretty mellow big guy - he'll be available for adoption on 8/31/11!

Meet Olivia!  She's a 1-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer.  She was brought in as a stray and not reclaimed.  She is a sweet girl & is FULL of energy!

Next up is Lucy!  She's a 4 or 5-year-old Greyhound/Retriever mix who was found running as a stray with Ethel.  (You'll meet her shortly!)  She is a very sweet, mellow, and easygoing big girl!  She'll be available for adoption on 8/31/11.

Here's Ethel!  She's a 4-year-old Retriever/Hound mix who was found running loose with Lucy.  She's a mild-mannered, quiet and gentle girl, and she'll be ready for adoption on 8/31/11!

ADORABLE PUPPY ALERT!  These four fabulous females are 6-week-old Jack Russell mixes who were released to the shelter by their owner.  Their mother is a Jack Russell Terrier and the owner stated the father was a Shepherd, but the shelter staff isn't quite so sure since that seems like an unlikely mix!  They are sweet, cuddly babies - so if you're looking to add a puppy to your family, don't hit the pet store, save one of these sweethearts!

Meet Poppy!  She's a 1-year-old Labrador Retriever/Hound mix who was found running as a stray.  She's a very friendly and good-natured girl! 

This gorgeous gal is Rosie!  She's a 4-year-old Labrador Retriever/Poodle mix - that's right, a Labradoodle!  She was picked up as a stray and appears to have been on her own for a while, as she is very thin.  She was initially withdrawn but now that she's realized the shelter staff are her friends, she's come out of her shell & gotten comfortable!  She is very sweet and mild-mannered, and she'll be available for adoption on 8/29/11!

Last but not least is Otis, a sweet Shih Tzu who DESPERATELY needs someone to come rescue him!  He was found as a stray - he was hit by a car and has a broken leg.  The shelter staff is hoping his owner will come into reclaim him, but if no one does, he will be available for adoption on 8/31/11.  He is very, very sweet, even though he doesn't feel well!  If you know anyone missing a Shih Tzu, have them call MCAS to see if Otis is their pup!  Or if you know anyone who'd like to be Otis's guardian angel, have them contact the MCAS about adopting him!
