Hello new owner! Boy do you have a great new dog in Charlie. Charlie is an awesome in so many ways. He loves to play with toys, he will chase them if you throw them. He has a bone that he loves to chew on. This is a must for him. If you have a big yard Charlie loves to run as well. He doesn't play wide open for too long, he get tired fast. When playing with toys you have to keep an eye on him because it is his goal to find the source of the noise. Charlie is extremely smart. He knows all of his basic commands really well. The only one he sometimes has a hard time with is give. If you treat him in one hand while saying give with the other, it works every time. As far as other commands, like his name, sit, kennel, release, hurry, wait, down, stay, bed, here, let's go, jump, heel and leave it. Charlie knows all of these very well. The one thing Charlie loves to do more than anything is get up in bed with you and cuddle. He will sleep through the night with you and not move. While cuddling, Charlie likes his face rubbed.

Give Charlie a chance, he is good with other dogs as long as toys are not involved. He is protective of his toys. I hope that you give Charlie the chance to touch your hearts like he has ours.
10/10/2023
Charlie showed major improvements this week with "give" and "leave it". Charlie has aggression only with playing with toys. We worked on that a lot this week. This is something you have to continue to stay on top of. At playtime, when Charlie comes out of the kennel with his toy, we have Charlie release , heel and sit. The give him a let's go to go to the dayroom. There we throw the toy and make Charlie wait to get it when he is released. He will bring it back and we let him play with it for a few minutes before giving the leave it command. We repeat this process a few times and he is doing great with it. He is such a smart and loving dog. He is well known and liked by everyone that comes in contact with him here at the facility. Whoever finally adopts Charlie and over looks his bred is going to be in for a treat. Just give him a chance to show you what a wonderful dog he really is.
11/6/23
Charlie had a good week. He continues to impress. Charlie is such a happy dog. He gets so excited when someone calls his name and goes to wiggling. They call him wiggle butt.

Bo
Week 1
Hello future adopters. We have a really nice rescue dog for you. His name is Bo. Bo is solid black with a patch of white on his chest. Bo joined us this weak after being rescued. He came in looking like he had lost his family and was so sad. Sad and weak from living outside with nothing to eat. Fighting for every little crumb. Bo is in great hands now. We gave him a bath and cleaned him up. Bo just stood there enjoying it or was scared straight one. He has had two baths since then and has stood there the same way each time. Bo is getting plenty of food and rest on a comfortable bed this week. We haven't started any training yet so that he can just rest up and get use to the place first. We will get started soon on a few commands. If you would like to meet Bo just call and schedule a meet and greet. We will be keeping you updated.
Week 2

Upon being released, he will go into the heel position and sit at your side. He is learning very fast. Come in for a meet and greet soon and meet the wonderful Bo for yourself.

Come on down for a meet and greet with him and I promise you will not be disappointed. He is waiting!
Week 4
Dear adopter,
Thank you for taking the time to read about Bo, the loyal companion. Beau is a very smart dog who enjoys the company of all dogs from medium to small. Bo enjoys playing and rolling around in some fresh cut grass and then shaking off to come in and relax on a nice soft bed. Bo does have some energy but not so much that it is overwhelming. He enjoys treats and is a healthy eater who leaves nothing behind. Thank you for taking a few minutes to read about the magnificent Bo and please consider him when looking for a new member to add to your family. Until next week......
Week 5
Bo is a lab/pit mix. with a very easy going temperament. He has a very black coat so black that it almost looks red in the sunlight. His kennel manners are excellent as well. Bo seems to have had some training some where down the line because he will already sit, bed and down. He also likes to be brushed and didn't mind it very much when we gave him his second bath. He does not like to have his teeth brushed though so that is a work in progress for him. Bo gets along with all of the other dogs in the program with the exception of two very dominate males. He will run and play with all of the other males, female, big and small. From looking at his teeth I would say he is around 1.5 to 2 years old. Beau and I plan to work on the rest of his basic commands in the coming week. So until next week Bo says "Woof".
Week 6
Bo is making very good progress on his leash walking which was fair when he arrived. He could already sit and down when he came which leads me to believe that someone has worked with him before. He is a very social dog that loves to interact with people and other dogs as long as they do not display dominant behaviors. His kennel manners are good and he has only had one accident in his kennel the whole time he has been here, which was of no fault of his. He was barking to let me know and I just didn't move fast enough.
Bo also loves to play fetch and will bring it back, (most of the time). He has zero food or toy aggression. Bo would make a great pet for someone with a fenced yard where he can have time to romp and play at some point during the day.
In the coming week we plan to work on stay and here.
Set up a meet and greet with Beau!
Week 7
Bo is doing well here at the K-911 program and is a fast learner. Bo will now sit, down, stay, jump and walk well on the leash. He also loves to play fetch and has become very good at it. Bo also loves to run on the big yard and becomes very vocal when he sees he is on his way to run. In the coming week, we plan to work on his here command which he will do most of the time, as well as reinforce the rest of his commands. Bo will make a great pet/ friend for someone. He loves to be brushed and petted as well as hang out on the bed. Set up a meet and greet with Bo, you won't be disappointed.
Week 8

He will rough house with the puppies here and always let them "win".
Bo will make a great addition to anyone's family. Please call and set up a meet and greet with Bo.
Week 9
Bo has spent the last week working on all of his basic commands of which he knows well. We also let a few "new" people pull him and run through his commands and he performed them just as well for the 'New" people. I plan to let this become a normal thing in which different people do his commands with him so that he will be ready to do them for anyone. Bo would be a great addition to your life/home. He is very eager to please and interact with people. He loves to lounge around on his dog bed or mine almost as much as he loves to run and play his version of fetch. Please set up a meet and greet and come out to meet this wonderful boy and give him the forever home he deserves!

His kennel manners are perfect and he does not use the restroom in his kennel.
Bo loves to romp and play with the other K-9s here at the K-911 Program. His favorite toy is a thick braided toy rope that he loves to play tug of was with.

Week 15
Bo is a great dog that has came a long way since he entered our program. He is still a little timid of loud things like whistles, noisy crowds and thunderstorms. He is a great companion who walks great on a leash and knows his commands. He is looking for a forever home with lots o love to share. Maybe it's yours.
10/10/2023
Just a quick update on Bo. Bo is a great dog and knows all of his commands. He would do best in a home as an only dog. He needs a yard to run in and someone to love. He has been with us for awhile and is so ready to find his forever home.
10/30/2023
Bo is doing great and getting use to his new muzzle. It fits him well but he is still able to get it off if he works really hard at it. We are trying to get him use to it so that he can be exposed to more dogs and learn that they are nice and want to play with him and not hurt him. He is going to get better and not have this issue after some training.
11/5/2023
Bo is doing great. He loves all the meat treats he has been getting and the big rope toy he gets to play with along with Zazu. He has been great at playing when toys are involved and you can keep him from biting the other dog. He really can be a great dog. He is just scared of encounters with the other males and feels he needs to protect himself. He hates crowds and is always unsure of new people. He loves attention when he gets to know you and if he doesn't know you most of the time he just ignores you. He is a good dog and will make the right person very happy.
12/26/23
Bo is doing great. He has been playing great with one of the puppies here. He loves the big yard and has no issues as long as he has on his muzzle. He really enjoys getting chased and stretching out is legs. He is a little to fast and hard when running to be one the yard when the puppies are out because he will just run over them. He plays well in the dorm with Zazu. He has enjoyed all the new treats and special prizes he has gotten this week.
1/8/24
Bo is doing great, He has been loving playing on the big yard and playing with Gabe in the dorm. He really is a good dog. He just doesn't do well around lots of new people at one time or new dogs suddenly. Once he finds another dog that he is ok to play with he is wonderful with them. He doesn't like other dogs that growl at him. He loves meat treats and will do any of his commands if he knows he is gonna get one. Bo would be an amazing pet and friend for the right person.
1/29/24
Bo has spent the last few days getting use to Raven. I am not sure why but he doesn't particularly like small dogs. After he gets use to them being around he does get to the point where he just ignores them or decides it's ok to play with them like he does Lotto and Maddie. He loves attention from people. he loves to run around for awhile and then just crash on a nice soft dog bed. He will be great in the right home and would make them a perfect dog.
2/5/2024
Bo has been great. He has been getting more use to the new dogs. Roscoe, Snowball and Raven. He does really great around them. He loves Raven, she just doesn't know how to feel about him yet. Bo has been doing great at playing with Zazu and Gabe this week. He loves to run in the yard and any hard chew toy. He has been doing roll over and spin but only for chicken treats. Bo s doing good with other people also. He barks but it is just to get their attention so he can get petted. He is a great dog and will be perfect in the right home.
2/26/2024
Bo has had another great week and is still looking for that special adopter that is ready to have a great dog but is willing to understand that he loves his people hard and can be protective of them and his space. He would be best as a one on one pet but would also do ok with a small family of adults. He just needs to be loved and understood.
3/18/24
Bo has been great . he has been playing with Lotto a lot more. He does great with the smaller dogs. He likes to teach them and be chased by them. He runs to fast for the puppies though. Edward is scared of him when he runs. Bo just wants them to run with him. He still also plays great with Gabe, Zazu, Destiny and Dakota. He loves big yard time most of all. He is a great dog and would be amazing in the right home.
** Bo is still available for adoption but has left the training program and resides at the shelter no more blogs will be added
Zazu
Week 1
Zazu has been doing great, He is 45 pounds now. He is doing great with his commands. He still doesn't want to do the give command but we will continue to work on that. He just wants to play so much. He is getting a lot better at stay and bed. He only breaks when I walk out of his vision. This week I am going to work on that getting that better so that he will stay no matter where I go. I am also going to work on some off leash training with him. He is already picking up on it as he walks by my side when i let him out of the kennel and he isn't yet leashed up. He wonders off sometimes but that won't be hard to fix. At that point he will be pretty much fully trained. He knows all of his commands and does them for me as well as the two other people that work with him. He is a smart dog. He loves to bark when you give him commands as if to say ok and will also bark if he is left in his kennel too long. He does have a good energy level and like to play and receive constant attention.
Week 3
Zazu has really come a long way. He does all of his commands for me. He even will walk off leash for me now. He still bucks on my secondary trainers. He doesn't give them as much attention as he does me. We are working on that. He still barks a good amount. Just less than it use to be. He is 46 lbs now and plays great with any dog. He loves doing the bed command and just laying around with a toy. He is high energy and isn't shy to show it. He gets excited easily and jumps around. Toys will keep him busy though. He is very sweet and loves attention. He likes to lick a lot also. Mainly my face when i am letting him lay next to me and petting him. He is really a great dog and would fit into most any family.
Week 4
Zazu has been doing great. He is doing well with the off leash walking with me just not anyone else. All of his other commands are great with anyone who does them with him. He still gets excited and pees in the kennel. He still hasn't shown any aggression. He loves all people and dogs. He does try to bite on my hand with to much energy. we are working on that. The give command he does well for my team of trainers but not very many other people. Whoever gets him needs to know that he has German Sheppard in him and he can be very hyper and will need time to run and play or he will use that energy in chewing on thins like his blanket and toys. He sometimes even chases his tail. He is such a great dog and would be great with the right person that understands his breed and his sometimes over active energy.
Week 5
Za zu has been doing good. He will do all of his commands in the dog room. This is a good thing because there are so many distractions. He is a really sweet dogs that loves to run around and play. He really needs a fenced in yard to have run around time to play in or a lot of toys inside. He loves any toy and will stay up for hours in the morning after breakfast playing with his toys. We are still working on his chewing on his blankets and things that are not toys. He does still need several bathroom breaks a day. He will also use a pad if provided. I think that with age this will become less frequent. He is great at listening and makes good eye contact which helps with his commands. He will be an amazing family dog.
10-23-23
Zazu is such a great dog. He has all the characteristics of a black lab. He is young, energetic and playful. Fetch is his favorite game. While he still tugs on the leash when it is time to go outside, his indoor manners are excellent. He will stay by my side on or off leash and obey every command. Zazu also enjoys playing with his neighbor Gracie as well as some of the other bigger dogs, but he is also very gentle with the small puppies. He will make a great addition to any home.
11/3/2023
Zaza is such a joy to work with. He is about 1 year old he is still a puppy. He is very energetic and easily excitable, but he calms fairly quick though. He loves playing fetch, tug or wrestling with other dogs. He plays well with all dogs large, small or even little puppies. He is comfortable in his kennel and he will stay even in my absence. He is great at bath time because he loves to get rubbed. This black lab would make a great addition to any family.
12/11/2023
Zazu is still doing well. He is such a big baby. He loves people and is very playful. He has lots of energy and loves to run, fetch is his favorite game. He also enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes. He is a gentle giant with small dogs and puppies, but he won't be bullied by any big dogs wither. He would make a really great fit for any home.
12/27/2023
Zazu had a very nice Christmas. He got lots of treats and played plenty of fetch. While he is an energetic boy, he is still a good listener and very affectionate. He would make a great addition to any home.
1/16/2024
Zazu is a big black lab with lots of energy and an awesome personality. He knows all of his commands and is very treat motivated. Bath time is a breeze as he calmly stays in place as he gets washed. He loves playing fetch, tug- of- war or wrestling with other (non-aggressive) dogs. Zazu is looking for his forever home. Could it be yours?
3/18/24
Zazu took some time off from training while he was recovering from being neutered. He is such a great dog. He loves chilling in my bed, getting belly rubs or chewing on his bone. He gets along great with most other dogs. Fetch and tug of war are is favorite games but he loves playing chase with the other dogs most of all. He practices his birddog skills by picking up as many toys as he can at one time. Him loving water makes bath time a breeze. He has a bright personality and will make a great addition to any family.
Codi
Week 1
The first week with Codi has been a real treat. He is the most lovable dog that I have ever had the privilege of training. He has had no problem making friends, so finding a human to scratch behind his ear or rub his belly is no problem. Codi prefers affection above all else. He is beginning to really take to his new environment and his training is progressing as expected.
His leash walking is pretty good for such a big fella. he is playful but calms down very easily. Codi has an infectious personality that makes him irresistible. I think Codi will be a wonderful addition to our program and I look forward to training him.
Week 2
Codi is really beginning to come out of his shell. He has a lot of personality! He is so lovable. he seems to be everyone's favorite. He goes from person to person to receive affection.
He is a very calm boy and well mannered. His leash walking is very good. He is also beginning to learn other commands. There has been much improvement on his entering and leaving the kennel, laying on a bed, and sit. I for see no problems with Codi mastering his training. He is very eager to please. Codi is going to make someone a really awesome pet.
Week 3
Codi's ability to process and execute commands has really improved this past week. He is now becoming more detail oriented with his behaviors.
He is becoming comfortable with his obedience training. Codi is an excellent leash walker with the exception of having to really go potty. He has also learned heel, leave it, sit and stay. These commands are in addition to a kennel routine and a feeding routine.
Codi is a well mannered dog. He loves people. He has never met a stranger, everyone is his potential friend.
He loves affection more than any dog I've ever trained. He greets me every morning like I'm the most important person in the world and can't wait for my attention. Codi really is a teat to have around.
Week 4
Codi has had a great week. He has really settled into his new environment and has came out of his shell. We have worked on some commands and he is really catching on. He is a really well mannered dog. He never jumps on people or counter surfs, and never tries to tear up or chew on things. Codi is pretty low key energy, although he loves to explore the dorm.
He is finally settled in enough to enjoy laying on the bed at my feet while I watch tv. He is currently working on several commands including stay, heel and a feeding routine. He is progressing very well.
Week 5
Codi has had another great week. He has conquered most of his commands. We are now working on "jump" so that her will be ready to jump into his ride to his forever home. He has become completely comfortable with his environment and we can see his full personality which is really terrific.
Codi is a fun, sweet and loving boy. He can be very playful, but also settles quickly. He really enjoys lounging around and being loved on.
Week 6
Codi has finally learned "jump" so he has now mastered all of his commands. "Jump" had been an issue for awhile. Codi was unsure of being on a higher platform, but his favorite treats got him to conquer his fears. He is a wonderful dog who is full of love and always eager to please.
Week 7
Codi has had a great time this week with playdates. We decided to introduce Codi to two new dogs during playtime and it worked out wonderfully of course they were both females because Codi is not a fan of other male dogs.
**** Codi is still available for adoption but has left the training program and resides at the shelter no more blogs will be added

Dipsy
11/6/23
Hi there, Dispy here! I am doing well and know all of my commands but I am still training on them just to keep them sharp for my adopted family. I am learning the "BANG" command. I like it because when they say bang, I fall to the floor and pretend to die. After that, they give me lots of treats. We had no big yard dog runs last week and that made me a little upset because I enjoy running and playing with the other dogs really stretching out my legs.
I wore one of my new sweaters this week for our bathroom break because it was really cold. About time for a new one though this one is getting a little snug.... ooops!
11/27/2023
Hi there, Dispy's secondary trainer here. All is well with young Dipsy. Very cute, very smart, very active are just a few ways to describe this wonderful pooch. She knows all of her commands along with a couple of other tricks such as shake and bang. I along with Dipsy's alternate trainer, speak Spanish, so this week we are going to incorporate Spanish into her training. We will say the commands in Spanish while using the hand signals she already knows in English. Let's see how fast she learns.
12/27/2023
Hi, my name is Dipsy. Every day I am growing more and more. I now weigh 40 pounds. I am also learning Spanish. I know sientate, abajo and cama, which are sit, down and bed. My trainers are going to show me more commands next year. I enjoyed Christmas because they toot pictures of me. I am a big girl now. I don't go to the bathroom in the kennel. I hope to have a new home soon. If you adopt me, I promise I will make you proud owner.
1/8/2024
Dipsy now knows 4 commands in Spanish which are sientate (sit), abajo (down), cama (bed) and aqui (here). She knows all of her commands in English and the hand signals for each so using the hand signals we say the spanish word and she is able to recognize what it means. Dispy is a smart, loving girl who can't wait to find her forever home.
2/5/2024
We are continuing to work with outside trainers this week and she is doing really well. We try to get at least one or two extra trainers per week to work with her. My focus last week was giving her more off leash freedom and the leave it command with high distractions. I would give her the release command and allow her to go meet and play with people in the day room. Then I would tell her to leave it and call her back to my side. She is making progress even though it is still a challenge, especially if they have her favorite toy ball. It is hard for her to break her attention but we are working on it. I'm also trying to get her use to playing with other dos. She is high energy so we have to find dogs that can match her energy, I am also introducing some small puppies to her trying to teach her how to be gentle with them. This is really going to take some work.
2/26/24
Dipsy knows all of her commands. Not only does she know them all but she knows them in English and Spanish. She is ready for here forever home and has all the basics to be the best dog ever.
3/18/24
This week Dipsy has been getting use to our newest team member. They have been working and playing with each other to build a bond. She is responding well to him when he gives her commands even though she does get distracted sometimes. She is at a stage now where she wants to do her own thing. We have a few females in heat right now so that may be one of the issues. There are also a lot of puppies around and she gets very excited by them and wants to play all of the time. Overall she is still doing well though and making progress.
Buddy
Week 1
Buddy is doing good. He now weighs 60 pounds. He is shedding a lot right now with the warmer weather starting and would probably need a good grooming this time of year. He knows all of his 13 basic commands, he just does them when he is ready to do them. We are working on this and teaching him to understand we are the boss. He is a little scared of sudden moves and does not like other male dogs. He is however becoming more playful.
Week 2
Buddy is doing well. Still doesn't like other male dogs too much. He knows all 13 basic commands but he is kinda stubborn with them. I give him a command and then have to stand there and wait for him to get ready to do it. He doesn't mind taking baths. He is shedding really bad right now.
Week 3
Buddy is a gentle and loving canine. He loves to cuddle with people but does not like other male dogs. When in contact with them, he will growl and bark but can easily be redirected with a stern 'No". As far as his commands go, Buddy knows them all well. Most of the time Buddy will eat fine alone but sometimes he wants my company when he eats. As for other things he likes, he likes to play chase and cuddle and snore like a pig. Buddy still don't like any type of toys. He loves duck bacon and chicken.
10-23-23
Buddy is such a sweet and loving dog. He loves people but no so much other male dogs. He wants to be the alpha. Buddy knows all of his basic commands and he knows a few more. He knows sit, down, bed, here, heel, jump, off, stay and he knows his kennel routine. Buddy does great with baths. Check back for hopefully an adopter update soon.
10/30/23

Buddy knows all of the basic commands like sit, down, bed, leave it, heel, stay, jump, off, here and wait. Buddy is sometimes very stubborn and not give good eye contact. You have to show him you will wait it out and he will finally look at you. Tune in next week for more, or go fill out that adoption application and give this boy the home he deserves.
11/6/23
As I always say, Buddy is such a great dog. He loves people and enjoys being petted and loved on. Buddy is a very smart dog. He knows all of his basic commands like sit, here, heel, jump, off, leave it and wait. He deserves a great home.

Buddy is well trained and knows all of his basic commands from sit, down, bed, leave it, jump, off, here, heel and his kennel routine. He even knows a few extras.

1/15/2023
Buddy is a very smart and loving dog. He is very much an alpha dog though so he does great with female dogs but males not so much. He is great on all of his commands and walks well on a leash. He really would make someone an amazing pet and best friend.
1/29/24

He knows all of his basic commands and his kennel routine. He is also potty trained and knows a few extra commands like, shake, high five and spin. I am working on getting him to do them all verbally an not just with the hand signals. If you want a good and loving dog for your home, Buddy is the one.
2/26/2024
Buddy is such a sweet and loving dog. He has a beautiful coat and everyone loves to pet him. He knows all of his basic commands. He would do great in any home that does not have other male dogs. He isn't bad with all of them just intact, dominate ones. He is going to be neutered this month so we are hoping some of that will go away.
3/18/2024
Buddy is a very loving, well trained dog. He knows all of his commands that we teach. Some of these include sit, down, bed, leave it, kennel and heel. Buddy has also learned a few extras like shake, up, beg and bang. Buddy is an alpha which means he will do good for a family that has no other dogs already. He also has been neutered. He is an affectionate, loving house dog that will enjoy laying on the couch watching tv with you.
Murphy
5-22-23
Murphy is now entering his third week her at the training program. He is a quick learner. Murphy is a very loving dog and is energetic. He will pair well with a home with a fenced in yard to run around in. He is already completely kennel trained and has not had one accident since he has been here with us. Following is a list of commands Murphy knows so far.
Kennel Routine
Sit
Lay
Bed
Jump
Off
Wait
Stay
Murphy will be a great choice for anyone .
5-30-23
Murphy is doing really good. He has been with us for three weeks now and has gotten comfortable and learned a lot. He doesn't get along with some of the other male dogs but plays good with some. When it is time to go outside he gets very excited and shoots out of his kennel like the roadrunner. He is doing ok with leash walking but he does continue to improve. When it is outside play time he hasn't really shown any interest with toys he just wants to run around and sniff things and play with the other dogs. He does like toys when he is inside however. He is a really cool guy and I'm sure he would love to share your home with you.
6-5-23
Murphy is continuing to progress nicely. As for his personality he has come out of his shell more. He is not fond of the other male dogs. He does love the ladies though and does great with human interaction. He is energetic and loves to be loved on. If you want a loving fur pal and don't already have any male dogs, Murphy would be a great fit.
6-12-23
Murphy is very well settled now and we are seeing the full Murph personality. He gets very excited about outside play time as well as time to eat. He just can't sit still and tap dances while you are getting his food ready. We are working with him on the release command and off leash training as well. He would do best in a home as an only dog or with female canine companions. He has a great personality and is ready for his forever home.
7-24-23
Murphy has been making great progress with his leash walking when it is time to go out for a dog run. So well that we should be able to leave the treat cup inside soon. Big yard dog runs are still a work in progress but we are seeing improvement there as well. We are hoping when he is neutered that some of that alpha dog in him will fade out. He does wonderful with all people and loves to meet new humans. He also plays very well with female dogs his size. He is treat motivated and has a high prey drive when it comes to his toys. It has been wonderful watching him turn into this awesome well behaved dog.
8-21-23
Murphy has been doing great as usual. Last week we had a big behavior breakthrough with him, on Tuesday that makes us very happy. When they call for big yard dog runs he usually goes nuts and makes loud noises , this time when he started that and was told bed, he listened and when to his bed and immediately calmed down. It was truly a big moment for us all.
He is still doing amazing with the basic commands s we co0ntinue to reinforce them all the time. He is also learning extra ones like crawl, shake, spin and peek a boo. He is a very smart and loving dog and will surely make you smile with his wonderful personality and ninja quick 360 spins when he is excited.
9-18-23
Murphy is still doing great here at the training program. It is always great to see how fast he learns new things. He is very smart, loving and obedient. He loves to play with people more than toys or dogs (only females). He is potty trained and kennel trained and is doing much better with his leash walking going out on dog runs. He is a goof ball and will make you fall in love with him in a short period of time.
10-23-23
Murphy is still doing great as expected because he is such an amazing dog. Someone donated some blankets to the shelter last week and he has really enjoyed his. He likes to make a pillow out of it. He is great with all of his commands and gets better and better every week with his leash walking. He would love to meet you and steal your heart and home.
10/30/23
Murphy and I have just been focusing on leash walking lately since that is his weakest point right now. We go outside for dog runs and big yard. We are slowly making progress and are going to continue to work at it.
11/6/23
Murphy is now doing really good. He is finally over the stomach bug he had going on. He got his normal personality back and is trotting around like a freshly tuned car. His leash walking is slowly improving and still our focus right now. We still work the basics and extra commands in each day and those still look great. He is not a fan of having his nails clipped so we do lots of walks on the concrete to help with that naturally. Overall Murphy is a great dog with a personality that will leave you smiling and attached to him. Humans are his first love and he would love to meet you.
****Murphy is still available for adoption but has left the training program and resides at the shelter no more blogs will be added.
Charlotte
2/26/2024
Thank you for taking time out of your day to read about Charlotte the shepperlab. ( German Shepherd/ lab mix.) Charlotte is a very energetic dog who thrives off of attention. One of the need to knows is that this dog is just 7 months old and is already a nice size dog. Charlotte still has a bit of growing to do and is very puppy playful. Charlotte is smart and learns very quickly what is acceptable when it comes to behaving when she is out and about. This big pup tends to forget sometimes how much different she is than a normal puppy when it comes to her size. Charlotte loves to be around those who are familiar with how she is. Charlotte can be a little shy when meeting new people but given time she will adjust when greeted with confidence and love. Thank you again for taking the time to see how this love bug is fairing.
Buck
Week 1
Buck came to us on 3-20. He was formerly called Houston. I'm from central Georgia so Houston sounds like House-ton. The name was confusing him so I changed it to Buck, which is short for Buckshot.
While washing buck and checking him for fleas, ticks, scars or what ever on his entrance day, I discovered a pellet under the skin of his right shoulder. He also has scaring down his right side and down his back leg.
Buck has learned to leash walk and sit, although sometimes he is a little hard headed about it. He weighed 39 pounds when he came in and now with everyday feeding weighs 42. Buck is already neutered and loves to be petted and given attention.
Week 2
Buck is looking a lot better. he is now 44 pounds which is his optimal weight. We will balance his weight gain out here and balance the intake of food as well as treats to keep him from becoming over weight.
Training with Buck is going ok. His strength is leash walking, he is very good at it. He does well with give when asked to release a toy.
Buck has had zero marking accidents in the dorm this week. I have worked on preventing him from marking outside to help him learn that there is no need to mark, this is all shared territory. Buck has become great friends with Emma, her crate is right above his and they play well together as well.
Buck has beautiful eyes , they are those huge brown sad eyes.
Buck loves to crawl in my lap and just love on me. I'm certain he will do the same for you.
Week 3
Buck has been with us for 3 weeks now and he loves to be petted and crawl up in my lap. Play appears to be a new concept for him but he is slowly coming around to playing with toys.
Buck is very well mannered when it comes to his bed, pillow and blankets. He has never tried to chew them up. His training is going ok. We have introduced him to all 15 commands. The sit command is the one he "bucks" the most.
Week 4
Buck has been with us for 4 weeks now and has learned all 15 of the basic commands. Now we are working on him performing them with only verbal ques. We are also working on better eye contact.
Buck has now found a new play buddy. He is now playing with Zazu (a young lab mix). He is one of the few male dogs he is comfortable with. He is much more a lady's man.
Buck is so affectionate towards me and I have to be out of site for someone or another dog to get his attention. If he came see me, he is stopping whatever and coming straight to me every time. Once you build a bond with him, he will forever be your best friend.
**** Buck is still available for adoption but has left the training program and resides at the shelter no more blogs will be added
