Lincoln is a 10 month old Weimaraner who currently weighs 44 pounds. He is obviously underweight, as you can see from the photo at right. Lincoln should be 70 pounds when he is full grown. This handsome boy came to us from an outlying animal control facility where he was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed by his owner.

Lincoln contracted a mild case of kennel cough while he was at animal control. He's recovered now and put on some weight, too. Lincoln is an active canine, like many Weimaraners. He would do best in a home with a fenced in backyard. Lincoln will need an experienced owner that can give Link the structure and exercise his breed requires. Please submit your application today and see if this fellow can be yours forever.

Foster Update 1/21/10: Lincoln is a very affectionate dog. He is well behaved in the house (house trained). He gets along well with all of the other dogs in the house. He is very energetic and will need some good walks to take care of that. He has gained some weight but still needs to gain more. He would make a great addition to any household.

Lincoln is in a foster home and available for adoption on Saturday.

Lincoln's adoption fee is $300.

Sam is a sweet and gentle 7 month old Boxer that is obviously underweight. Sam should weigh approximately 70 pounds when he is full grown. He came to us from an outlying animal control where he had little chance of being adopted.

Sam is a bit hand shy, and flinches when you reach out to pat him on the head. He is learning to give kisses, and respond to attention.  When he first arrived, Sam couldn't hold down any food or water. After a day, though, he began to eat boiled chicken and hold it down. Now he's eating dry kibble with gusto and is gaining confidence by the moment. 

Sam was moved to our adoption center on February 7th, and is adjusting to his current environment here. We put him in with the tiny toy breed dogs, because he is so gentle and sweet.

Sam is quite timid and unsure of himself, which is often an indication of severe neglect. Sam is sure to show his true colors with a bit of guidance from the other dogs and some love from our staff and volunteers. He will need a patient and experienced owner who can help him continue to build his confidence. Please submit your application today and see if you can be the forever home that Sam deserves.

Sam is available

for adoption Tuesday through Saturday.

Sam's adoption fee is $300.

Update 2/25/10:Sam has found his confidence, put on several pounds. He also had surgery to repair a "cherry eye" that just popped up last week  A Big Thanks to Dr. Whittle at Paces Ferry Veterinary Clinic for that! Sam is a happy, easygoing dog that will be a fantastic pal and companion animal for any home. Sam uses the doggie door and is crate and leash trained. He recently met one of our young cats and showed us that he really didn't care one way or another about sharing his space with a cat.

Athena is a 2 year old red and rust Doberman who weighs 57 pounds. This beauty came to us from an outlying animal control facility where she was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed by her owner.

Athena is a very sweet and active girl. She is still learning to be a house dog and it is apparent that she has never been walked on a leash. She will need to go to a home with an experienced dog owner that can help her become a well-trained and well-rounded companion.

She has really come around since she first arrived and seems to be happy. But Athena still is looking for a more permanent arrangement. Athena would do best in a home with a fenced yard and an owner who will give her lots of opportunities for exercise.

Athena is taking some time off to work with a professional trainer. She is not currently available for adoption.

Dakota is a handsome 6 month old Boxer who currently weighs 35 pounds. He should be approximately 55 pounds as an adult. This sweet boy was surrendered by his previous owner because they took Dakota so that he would not end up at their county animal control facility. They said that Dakota was a purebred pup that had been passed from family to family because no one had taught him to be housebroken.

Dakota is not able to put weight on his right rear leg which suggests that it is broken. We will have him examined by a vet to get an accurate diagnosis. Whatever the outcome may be, we will make sure Dakota is provided with everything he needs to be up and running at full speed again. 

Although Dakota has had a few struggles early on in life he still maintains a positive outlook. He is a sweet and affectionate dog. Please check back for updates on how this adorable fella is doing.

Dakota is available for adoption

Tuesday through Saturday.

Dakota's adoption fee is $300.

Update 3/2/10: Good news! Dakota made a trip to see Dr. Whittle at Paces Ferry Veterinary Clinic yesterday. Dr. Whittle x-rayed Dakota's leg and hips. He found nothing wrong and ever since then, Dakota has been walking normally. Hopefully this will be just a small bump in the road to Dakota's success.
