Holly is a sleek 70-pound, five year old female Weimaraner.  She was given up by her former family because of a divorce - indirectly. You see, Holly was really the wife's dog, but after the divorce, Holly stayed with dad and the kids.  No one took care of Holly, and she was kept on a leash, which was tied to a bed post in a small room by day, and on a chain when she was let outdoors for brief periods of time.

Realizing that was no life for poor Holly, a relative asked the family to surrender Holly to APR, and she won her independence on the 4th of July. Quite fitting, don't you think?

Holly has been under the care of a foster dad, who has noted that Holly has limited vision.  She sees fairly well in good lighting conditions, but at night she bumps into things and is much more reluctant to move around.

Holly is available for adoption

by appointment and on Saturdays.

Foster Report 8/4/10: Holly is a great dog. She is housetrained and does not need to be crated for any reason. She would be fine as an only dog or living with other dogs. Holly gets around very well for a dog with limited vision. She does very well on walks and really enjoys the dog park. She definitely sees better in the daylight and with lights on in the house. Anytime she goes to a new indoor space she is very cautious. Her head and ears feel like velvet and she does not mind at all if you want to pet her a lot. Please don't let her limited vision scare you off. She responds very well to sound and can be directed by voice command.

Foster Update 8/20/10: The longer I foster Holly the more playful and relaxed she becomes. She is a really easy dog. She is just so happy to be with people and the other dogs. She has even started trying to play with other dogs at the dog park. She will even run some. She loves going for walks. At home she just likes to be close to me and the other dogs relaxing on the couch. She would be an easy dog for almost anyone to add to their home.

Ansley is a beautiful six year old Great Dane or close mix who was surrendered by her former owner. A new baby arrived in Ansley's household and she was not too happy about the situation. So Ansley's owners decided it was best to find her a new home.

Ansley is a sweet girl who has done very well with the other dogs here at APR. We are told that she likes to chase cats and smaller dogs, so she would do best in a home with another dog closer to her size. Ansley lived with another Great Dane mix previously and did just fine. Ansley promises to make a wonderful lifetime companion, but would do best in a home without small children.

Ansley is available for adoption

Tuesday through Saturday.

Foster Update 8/02/10: Ansley is an affectionate and very well-behaved dog. She is fine with strangers, good with other dogs, housebroken, comes when called, and is an all-round good dog. She deserves a caring home that will appreciate what a fine dog she is.  ~Judy

Update 8/13/10: When Ansley came to her foster home, she was good with all the small dogs. After she got a little settled, she would bump a couple of them with her nose because they growled at her although she is never the aggressor. Now after being here longer, she ignores the aggressors except every now and
then bumps them with her nose and thinks they are wanting to play when they grrrrr. She's a terrific girl, housetrained, does not attempt to get on furniture, will bark when strangers come up when at home but stops on command. She loves to sleep on floor next to her person's bed. She's beginning to do better around people and other animals as she was very skittish and fearful when too many people or animals were around. 

You cannot ask for a better dog.

Zoey is a handsome 1 year old female Giant Schnauzer or possibly Wheaten mix.  She weighs 57 pounds and is solidly built.

Zoey was found by a citizen more than a month ago, but he was unable to find her former owners.  Zoey was apparently trained in her former life.  She knows the commands sit, down, go to your crate, leave it and stay. She is a shy and quiet dog that is eagerly seeking a new permanent home.

Zoey is available for adoption

Tuesday through Saturday.
