Story

She completed a basic obedience class in 2022. She knows the commands, but needs consistent follow through that she hasn't received. She is very energetic. She is a very affectionate dog and always wants to cuddle. She will crawl right in your lap for a hug. She was raised with another dog and they have always played well together. She can be food and toy aggressive, but takes correction well from both people and the other dog. She has no history of biting. She prefers to play chase and tug. She's less interested in fetch. She likes kids, but needs to be watched closely with little kids, due to her high energy and playful nature. She can get very excitable when people come to the door and needs correction. She is fearful of loud noises (thunder and fireworks). She has never been around cats. She can be territorial with new people, but warms up within minutes when encouraged by someone she trusts to meet the new person. She sheds throughout the year and has a short single coat.

Story

Thanks to Melissa Carlton State Farm Agent, Gerald's adoption fee is waived! With supporters like Melissa, all dogs have second chances and their futures look bright. Hi! I am Gerald! I have been with my current foster mom and dad for a few months and I ready to find my forever home! I am about 9 years old (even though my foster mom says I don't act 9). I was found roaming the streets by a kind police officer who brought me to Gateway Pet Guardians. Because I am an older boy, I come with many perks that GPG offers to my family like free training sessions! I am very smart and very food motivated. I love to play with treat puzzles, and I have a favorite "licky ball that my foster mom fills with frozen bone broth or goats milk and it's amazing. When the weather is bad, she likes to give me licky mats that she says works my brain even though I can't go outside. I love walks, stuffies, balls and chew bones. I love it when you come home from work. I love it so much that I will greet you with my favorite toy of the day. If I have a very special toy, I will take it outside and bury it. I'm very good at hiding my toys so that only I know where they are. I sleep all night in my crate, but I do like to have a stuffy and my favorite blanket with me. Although I'm more than happy to sleep with you if that makes you feel better! Because I came from the streets, I have some scars on my body and legs, but that doesn't stop me. I get around VERY well, but one thing that happened to me is that I have to wear a belly band because I don't always know when I have to pee. I do sometimes, but not always. I think people feel like this is a bad thing. But it' s no different than babies wearing a diaper. I don't mind them at all. I just need you to keep me clean and change them a few times a day. My foster mom says I come with about 10 of them, so you don't have to do laundry every day....she doesn't like to do laundry that often.

Size

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

Details

Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This is Zues. Zues lived with his previous owner from puppy until he was 6. He was then dumped on the streets by a family member of his owner who said they would take care of him since his owner was no longer able. Due to the extreme change in his life, Zues is an anxious guy when you first meet him. After he warms up, he is the sweetest boy in the world. He loves ear rubs and cuddles. He is nuetured, house trained, and up to date on shots. He does not chew up things when left alone except for his toys. He loves kongs and tennis balls. Zues is partially blind. Our vet thinks it is something that he was born with and currently can only see a little bit, probably mostly shadows. He gets around fine but will trip over/run into things from time to time. The vet said the disease will eventually cause full blindness but no other health concerns. Due to his semi-blindness he is nervous around other dogs and would need to be the only dog in the home.

Story

Lucky Shedd has been in foster for a little over a year now and her foster mom says she is a joy! She has been the sweetest companion, loves cuddling and snuggling up in bed at night or on the couch on a lazy day, but also never turns down a game of fetch or play time. Lucky is always very welcoming to any people we have over, whether it's her first time meeting them or they're a trusted friend of hers. Lucky would be best suited to a home with no other pets where she is the only child and gets all the love and attention she needs and deserves. She is completely non-destructive in the home, and very well potty-trained, crate-trained, and muzzle-trained. One of the staff who is Luckys biggest fan, recently babysat her and had the following to say: "Lucky Shedd is an absolute dream boat in the home, Her biggest obstacle is she truly needs to be a single pet. As far as in home she is low to medium energy and is great at self entertaining but does enjoy short spurts of fetch. She is a complete water baby. On walks she wears a muzzle as a protective tool for her since there are so many off leash dogs in the city. She does really well with putting it on and wearing it anytime she leaves the house. Inside she is a pro at crate time and potty trained. If someone had a privacy fence I would say she is the easiest dog ever. Walks are really the most complicated part of daily life. She normally just gets walked at odd times. She is good refocusing with the use of treats and changing directions away from other dogs. She loves toys. Knows sit , down , paw ,here, where's lucky (a check in cue), and place. She is also great at waiting for her meals until she is given the okay." Lucky Shedd has been with CARE for an extended amount of time and her foster mom is dedicated to helping her find her forever home. She would love to talk to you more about any questions you have about Lucky and to arrange a time for you to meet her!
