Elfie

Husky

Female, 4 yrs

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Do you KNOW and love the husky breeds? Are you a single-dog kind of person, with no desire for other animals in your life? Elfie could be the perfect dog for you! Husky experience, and love of the classic sassiness that the breed exemplifies, is a requirement for her next home. Elfie came to us when her prior home was not a good match for her because she is not good around other animals. She`s done well with humans, but this small package has a high prey drive, and should not be around other animals. She did not do well meeting other dogs in her prior home, and while with us she has also made it clear she does not want dog friends, so we are looking for a home where she can be the only animal.Elfie would do best with older kids (teenagers and up), and likes to cuddle, on her terms. She relaxes nicely in a crate, as long as there are no other animals around, and enjoys couch time getting belly rubs.Elfie is smart as a whip, and really enjoys learning new things with force-free training. She has a bit of the typical husky aloofness, but is also very attentive to the people she loves.A consultation with our Behavior Specialist is included in Elfie`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about her, and to determine if you should meet Elfie.

Navy

Boxer

Male, 5 yrs 2 mos

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Navy came with his housemate Sprout to CVHS when his family had major life challenges. Navy is very friendly, will jump to greet you, and hopes you will let him give you many kisses. He loves car rides, attention from humans, and to run! He previously lived with a child under 6 years old, and has recently spent a day with a 3 year old. He`s initially jumpy, but calms quickly, and is happy to sit quietly by their side. He did great living with canine pal Sprout, and has met a few dogs here that he did really well with, adjusting his play to suit them. Navy cannot live with cats, as he will chase them, and not playfully. When his people were not around, he was confined to the kitchen and did well for a few hours at a time. He is not crate trained. Navy walks nicely on leash with a harness; he will pull with only a collar. He`s a very curious boy, and likes to know what you`re up to around the house, but will also settle in for a nap if you aren`t exciting enough.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Navy`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Navy.

Toad

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 8 yrs 1 mo

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Toad is a big boy with a big personality. He is looking for an owner who is active, and can give him the energy outlet that he needs. He is working with our staff on using a harness, as he is a big puller.He came to us through an Animal Control Officer, so we do not know a lot about his background. We have found that most dogs do not like Toad, and the couple that do, either don`t know how to handle him, or he doesn`t like them. He needs to be an only dog, with no expectation to meet other dogs. His body language when he has seen a cat through a window tells us he would not be the kind of friend cats hope for in a dog, so he needs to be the only pet in the home. Due to Toad being a bull in a china shop, he`s not recommended to go home with young children, unless they are very sturdy, and don`t mind being knocked down.Toad has a slightly elongated soft palate, which means he may sound wheezy when getting exercise, but our veterinarian feels corrective surgery is not necessary. He may need a little guidance from his human friends to slow down when he`s having fun and is go-go-go.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Toad`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Toad.

Bard

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Bard joined CVHS when his owner could no longer care for him. We are still getting to know Bard, and getting him settled into a routine with us.Bard has the beautiful coloring of a hound mix, and the fully developed nose of a hound, wanting to follow it everywhere! He LOVES sniffing around our yards, and finds trail walks to be a wonderful bounty of all the good smells. Bard also enjoys stretching his legs in a good run around our yards, so it would be great if he could find a home with a fenced-in yard. He`s learning to walk on a leash with the use of a harness, and he`s driven to follow his nose, so a casual sniffy walk is great. If you like to walk like you`re on a mission, it probably wouldn`t go so well with Bard.Past information is that Bard does not like other dogs, and we haven`t had a chance to work with him on that yet, but his reaction when he sees them leads us to believe he would be happiest as an only pet, and not need to experience other dogs around him. Bard does have some anxiety when left alone, so he`s looking for someone who would appreciate his constant companionship. If you are interested in learning scent work, enjoy leisurely sniffy walks in the woods, and have a yard where Bard can run, you could be the perfect match for this handsome hound!A consultation with our Behavior Specialist is included in Bard`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Bard.

Reindeer

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Reindeer joined the CVHS family because he did not like living with the other dog in the home. Reindeer walks very nicely on leash, and REALLY wants to be with people all the time. This may be due to the transition to us, because in his previous home, he loved to be outside for long periods, even if he was out there alone. He also will entertain himself with a ball, but his favorite game is to chase and be chased.Reindeer lived with children previously, but though he was fine with them, he just doesn`t prefer the company of children - he loves adults. He was very much into chasing squirrels, so it`s doubtful he would live well with cats. He is not a fan of other dogs, so should be the only animal in the home.A consultation with our Behavior Specialist is included in Reindeer`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Reindeer.

Holly

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs

East Montpelier, VT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Holly came to us through an Animal Control Officer who had picked her up as a stray, so we don`t know anything about her prior life. She`s had a lot of changes and upheavals in the past month, and was initially a little unsure, but has warmed up to everyone here, and is learning she`s now safe. This chonky little short-stack is a strong puller, so she`s learning how to walk nicely on a front-clip harness. She is food motivated, and though she has a short attention span to match her short legs, she`s still making great progress in her training. She will need a caring and patient adopter, also willing to work on consistent house-training. (She may do fine not toileting in a house, but she is not `house-trained` in her kennel.)Holly has been reactive to other dogs here, so she is looking to be the only dog in her new home. We do not know how she feels about cats. Because of her moments of jumping and zoomies, she`s probably not a good match for young kids.Holly LOVES a good snuggle session, and would be happy to join you on your couch for a good book or some binge tv.A consultation with our Behavior Specialist is included in Holly`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about her, and to determine if you should meet Holly.
