They came back as suspect histiocytomas, but because that type of mass typically occurs in young dogs, the histopathologist is suspicious of cutaneous Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis. Though these masses are typically benign, they may continue to grow, and some may grow faster than others. We have seen some growth and then shrink. The masses may need to be removed per vet recommendation if they show signs of infection. 6/24/24 Foster Feedback: Handsome Rico is lovin’ life at the lake this summer!  Favorite pastimes are sleeping in, sunbathing naps on the blanket softened patio, hoping someone shares a Zorbaz pizza on the pontoon.  His skin has been great and dander is gone!  He is the healthiest and youngest 11 year old ever!  Still looking for a retirement buddy. I know it says a 6’ fence needed, but a baby gate is probably enough. Such an easygoing, quiet guy.  He is even making friends with a chihuahua. He is a dreamboat!  Love him to pieces!! 2/28/24 Foster Feedback: This distinguished, handsome and spry senior is still patiently waiting (over 900 days now!) for a kind hearted person to share their heart and home with him.  He needs so little…a soft dog bed or a fuzzy blanket on an end of your couch is just fine for Mr. Suave. This guy is easy peasy,  rarely barks, eats and travels well, never has a potty accident, kennels beautifully or can be left loose in the house and is friendly with adult strangers. He isn’t the most photogenic as his expression never changes…it literally always looks the same whether he’s happy, sad, excited or mad. He may look grumpy but he’s definitely not.  Rico does have some skin issues requiring weekly medicated baths, but he jumps right into either the tub or shower with no problem at all. His skin medication is only $60 a month and he is not on prescription food either.   During this mild winter, he has been willing to take a long walk just about every day. He walks loose leash perfectly. He also will run after a tennis ball a few times and throw his stuffed fox in the air. He is looking forward to some sun bathing on the patio soon!   I hope Rico gets a chance to meet one of you looking for a perfect companion.  10/21/2023 Foster Feedback: This is Rico Suave and I can’t believe not even one person has asked to meet me over the last two years. I've been anchoring the list of available dogs for waaay too long considering what an agreeable, affectionate and well-behaved guy I am! The only time I ever bark is if the doorbell wakes me up from a snooze. I’m not interested in looking out windows so I never even see the mailman, I have never put my front paws on a counter ever, and I never bother or chew on anything. My foster mom tells me every day what a good boy I am and I really really am!   I love to ride in the car and am quiet and calm, I don’t need to go outside to do my duty more than a few times a day. I sometimes like to go for a 6-8 block walk (I never pull), but mostly I’m content to just lay on whatever dog bed is closest to where my foster mom is. I even love to just be in my kennel with the door open. Since I’m such a good boy, I have run of the house when my family is gone. If you read under my picture about some growths I had in the past, I am happy to tell you I haven’t had any more! Yay for me! Although I am almost 10.5 years old, I am very spry and have absolutely no old age aches or pains, my muzzle isn’t grizzled and my eyes see very well. What I do have are a lot of skin tags and warts and I need to have a medicated shampoo every 5-6 days to keep my sensitive skin doing good. I do have more dander than an average dog, but my mom says it’s not a big deal to swiffer or vacuum more often. She keeps a blanket or sheet over the bed and the couch that I have permission to sleep on. I take cyclosporine every day to help my skin and occasionally have a cytopoint shot if my skin gets itchy.  While I want to be your only pet, I don’t act bad when I see another dog on a walk, and I don’t give a hoot about geese, squirrels or turkeys wandering around.  The best thing about me is all the love I show to my foster mom and dad. I am happiest when they sit down so I can invade their personal space and lay my big noggin on their lap! I am such a loveable guy and I know there has to be a forever person out there somewhere for me. I am waiting for you…please come and pick me as your companion and friend!   06/12/2023 Foster Feedback: Grandpa Rico is still patiently waiting for his forever home while living at the lake this summer and experiencing new activities. He took his first pontoon ride and was very comfortable just hanging out looking at other boats and the scenery passing by. I also brought him into the water and confirmed he can swim…but he really didn’t enjoy it much.  What he does really enjoy is basking in the sun on the concrete…and we do short sessions a few times a day. Mostly he just naps the day away staying close to where I am. He is such an affectionate, calm and loving dog! Go with the flow Rico is so well behaved…he never gets into anything, keeps all 4 paws on the floor and jumps right into the tub for his weekly medicated bath. He rarely woofs at strangers walking on the beach road anymore and is content to just walk around the yard with me for exercise a few times a day. Rico is such an easy dog…he just needs a home without kids, has a fence and no other pets. He will give you all the love you need!     5/18/2023 Foster Feedback: Grandpa Rico has gone from holding down the couch to lawn ornament status basking in the warmth of the sun! Rico may have a grumpy countenance, but he is one of the most agreeable and go-with-the-flow dogs we have had the pleasure of fostering. His allergies still require medicated baths every five days and yep, he does have more than usual amounts of dander…but it’s an easy fix with a vacuum and swiffer!   Rico is a good eater, keeps all four feet on the floor (except when snuggling on the couch or sleeping just as close as he can possibly can to you in bed at night.) He doesn’t snore, kennels beautifully or can be left to free roam, only wants a short walk on nice days, has never chewed on anything human related, rides quietly and calmly in any vehicle and rarely barks. Look at that adorable little tip of his tongue that escapes his mostly toothless gums.  Although Rico wants to be your only pet, he is not reactive when seeing other dogs on walks or while riding in the car. He really is such a very, very good boy!     1/18/2023 Foster Feedback: Rico Suave has been with us since Christmas and we LOVE him!  We are retired and mostly home and he is happy not being kenneled all day. Rico is just the easiest and sweetest old man and has excellent house manners and a quiet, loving, and gentle nature. Literally, all he needs is a comfy dog bed or the end of a couch to nap on…and someone willing to give him frequent medicated baths to help his skin.  Rico doesn’t play with toys or chew on bones but will be happy to take a walk on warmer days, go for rides in the car or cuddle up next to you. He is a champion napper…happiest when he is right next to you with his huge noggin resting on your lap 9/6/2022 Foster Feedback: Rico has been doing well this summer. He enjoys napping on the cement, going for short walks, listening to turkeys (they don't bother him), and playing 5 minutes of tug of war every week. It's a big regiment for a big fella in his retirement phase of life. Rico has been doing very very well on walks; not reacting to other dogs or other critters out on walks. He is still a very treat-motivated old man. Rico sure would like to lounge in his forever home very soon! 7/21/2022 Volunteer Feedback: Rico Suave is a precious old man who would love to be someone's best buddy. His talents include snacking, pondering the meaning of life, and making sure the couch isn't going anywhere. He likes to be close to or directly on his people while just hanging out, or patrolling the great outdoors and taking in all the local sniffs. He's one of those gentle giants who may look like a grump but is secretly a total softie who isn't afraid to show his love with kisses and snuggles. 2/9/2022: Rico is the perfect winter dog in my mind as he has no interest in long walks in the cold or the snow; he just wants to go out for business purposes only. He loves his walks in the warmer weather of course. Rather than a long cold, snowy walk, he would rather just have a tasty treat out of his kong and then snuggle up for a nap. Handsome man Rico hasn't had any new bumps since the last bumps in the fall disappeared, so that is great news! Rico recently attended a "VIP" dog event the rescue collaborated with Down Dog Studio and Rico got to spend half an hour getting about a million pets from strangers; he was an absolute ham. He is pouting and sad he didn't find his forever home but, he looks forward to you giving him the next million pets. Rico grows weary of his foster father coming home from volunteering at the shelter almost daily and smelling like other dogs while he sits in his kennel; it's just not right for an old pup in his retirement years! 8/27/21:  Rico has been with me for a couple of months now. Rico was returned to the rescue after about 7 years, so he is really thankful 4 Luv of Dog has been there twice to take him in. Rico has been a very easy dog to have in the home. He is a fantastic house guest, I am more than happy to let him spend a little time here while he searches for that perfect retirement home. Rico will spend most of the day sleeping. He might follow you around the house a little but generally, he is going to find a cozy spot if there isn't a lap to settle into. Rico is kennel trained and spends his time while I am away in his kennel. He does well and seems comfortable. I always give him a reward for kenneling, and he usually gets breakfast in his kennel before I leave for work. He is potty trained and hasn't had any accidents.  Rico generally gets a little exercise after I return from work and then it's nap time again for Mr. Suave. Rico does love walking and exploring, occasionally even running. As a distinguished older gentleman, however, he doesn't really need extreme amounts of exercise daily as some dogs require. Rico is an oinker that absolutely loves his food and treats, which is great for training and having him follow your directions. That being said, his weight is doing pretty well and he has lost a few pounds since his initial vet visit, as the vet recommended. Rico's transition from his old home of about 7 years to a stay at the shelter, then to my home was not very easy for him. He was also coming off a prescription of steroids per the veterinarian's advice. While he was completely content inside my apartment almost immediately, he did take some adjustments to the neighborhood on walks. Other people and dogs would stress him out if we got too close. He really needed decompression time to get used to his new surroundings. 4 Luv of Dog sent Rico and me through a six-week training course  "Over Reactive Rover"  through Down Dog Studio to help him overcome this hurdle, and it has helped immensely. Rico has been much easier and calmer to walk and has picked up very well on everything we have been taught. I would, of course, go over some of the things we worked on so he can continue to be successful in his retirement home. I would also encourage adopters to continue training as training classes are just as much for the owner as for the dog. I feel like Rico's transition from his foster home to an adoptive home will be much easier than the transition from the shelter to a foster home. This coupled with the training Rico has received has him really looking forward to lounging around with you, so please consider adopting Rico to help him finish his journey out of the rescue for good!!To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org November 3, 2024, 6:27 pm

She is a great cuddler when it is time to relax, and is great at zoomies and prancing around with toys when it is is time to play. I have definitely enjoyed her becoming more confident and allowing her sparkling personality to show. She has the run of the entire first floor of my house whenever I am gone, and does very well patiently napping on the couch or watching out the window until I return. She does great at walks with an easy-walk harness, and at this point only pulls with significant distractions (mainly deer, new dogs approaching her, or a cat or rabbit within reach). She continues to be very easy to manage in general, responds quickly to gentle redirects.  She is very smart, does great with all the usual commands, and loves chances to show off just how good she can be. Kitchen still cannot be close to other dogs, but is not aggressive unless they get very close (within about three feet), and she has learned to do a good job of accepting familiar dogs like the neighbor's dog when they come and investigate our fence. I especially appreciate that she does not act aggressive towards other dogs while we are on walks as long as they are at a distance, and also does not show aggression when she sees them through the window. My neighbors particularly adore her and are always talking about how well behaved she is and how she hardly ever barks. She gets along with people of all sorts, and easily wins over anyone who comes to visit us.   If your living situation allows for a dog that can't be around other dogs, I encourage you to meet Kitchen. It's hard to convey in writing just how likeable this goofy little gal is! 2/28/24 Foster Feedback: Kitchen is an absolutely lovely dog. I would snatch her up myself if my situation allowed it. She is sooooo affectionate and just loves to cuddle up with her person on the couch, really any person. When she is not trying to lay on you or asking for pets, she prefers to show off her goofy personality by parading around the house with a squeaky toy or throwing balls down the stairs so she can chase them. She is still young so she likes to be active, and loves to run laps in the backyard and take walks around the neighborhood. She does really well on a long leash and harness, but does still pull to try and say hi to other dogs or investigate a rabbit or squirrel. She also still pulls whenever you use a collar instead of a harness.  Kitchen is also muzzle trained.  She is clever girl who has learned a number of commands - sit, lay down, hand targeting, and even to roll on her back so you can wipe mud off her feet. We are still working on stay, and also on recalls when she is outside. Inside the house, she is very easy to manage, a gentle "ope" or "uh-oh" is usually all it takes. She can be a little timid and submissive at times, so it definitely helps her if her home is calm and doesn't have a lot of commotion. She has been fantastic with every visitor I've had, and this includes people who were new to her when I was not there. She is friendly towards my neighbors and their children. Kitchen is crate trained, and while she may pout a bit about it, she will do just fine in one while you are away. She is so well behaved in my house, that I haven't had to have her in a crate while I am gone.   If you're willing to give this sweetheart a loving home, she is absolutely willing to shower you in all the kisses, affection, and dog hair on your shirt that you can handle. She already has with me!To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org November 3, 2024, 6:27 pm

She was a great houseguest. There is a lot of puppy in her so she does jump on you when she is excited to see you. She had no accidents and noises did not spook her. She loves attention! She played well with the resident younger dog and respected the resident old dog's space. She will be a perfect addition to an active home. 5/15/24 Foster Feedback: Kahlo is doing well with potty training and kennel training. She is an energetic puppy and loves to be outside. She does great with kids and other dogs. In the middle of the night she will occasionally whine in her kennel but she is getting better. To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org November 3, 2024, 6:27 pm

Jedi here to remind you that I am still staying at the rescue's shelter! If I am here on the 4th of July I will have stayed at the shelter for two months. I am very hopeful to celebrate my Independence day before the rest of the USA. I would even be supremely happy to find a foster home. Don't forget I am a very handsome man with curly piggy-tail, and also that fostering me is a no expense proposition. I am ever so happy to get to see the volunteers when they come to tend to my basic needs and I love each and every one of them so much, however I would like to bundle all that love for one family. When I first arrived at the shelter I  had trouble holding my urine in between shifts, now I am very good at doing that and keeping my shelter kennel spotless. The volunteers have been doing what they can to enrich my life but I can really tell how much more relaxed I am away from the shelter, when I have gotten to go on little shelter breaks with the volunteers.    I very much enjoy wrestling with other dogs and would love a play dog buddy but would do just fine with dedicated human time to work on my brain and keep my body exercised. I will include a picture or two of me playing with my good rescue friend "Tennis."  Well I suppose it is getting close to shelter bedtime, hopefully there won't be too many more lonely shelter nights in my future.   Volunteer Feedback 6/6/24: I got the chance to take Jedi on an outing yesterday and he was the sweetest boy! At the beginning of the shift he was a bit of a punk, but he got some good decompression time and he was a whole different dog. When we got back from our outing we went for a walk and only got mouthy when we rounded the corner away from the building, almost like he was trying to say "I'm done, I need a snack and a nap." We went back to the building and he was well behaved through the rest of the night. Sitter Feedback 6/4/24: I got to spend the day with Jedi and take him on some errands! First stop was home depot and he was very calm strolling around. He was well behaved when the workers wanted to give him treats. Next stop was Petco and he was interested in toys but didn't mind being directed by me when we needed to leave his new favorite aisle. Then, we headed to Joann's fabric store and oh my lord he surprised me. The good boy laid down when I was taking too long looking for the right blanket. Again, while waiting for the blanket to get cut, he laid down or sat down next to me even though people were walking by. He was very calm in the car and loved the window! He would be a wonderful companion and deserves a loving home! Building Volunteer Feedback 5/11/24: Jedi is an out-of-this-world pup! He enjoys walking while simultaneously playing with a tug toy, never being far, far away from your side. Although he can sometimes get mouthy and hold onto your sleeve, he is quickly learning to end this behavior and redirects almost instantaneously with a treat or toy alternative. He is working on several cues and has “sit” and “come” nailed. He is not much of a fan of fetch, but he adores tug and playing with a flirt pole. This Jedi-in-training continues his search for the perfect Jedi Master.&#226&#128&#139To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org November 3, 2024, 6:27 pm

Adoption fees may be paid by cash or check.&#226&#128&#175  Other:&#226&#128&#175Spayed Female, Vaccinations current, Microchip, No other pets, No children, Fenced-in yard required   Persephone is a sweet girl looking for someone to give her the right home   Foster Home Feedback  ***  No other pets, No children, Fenced-in yard required 12/9/23 Foster Feedback:  Percy is my first foster and I’ve had her since mid-October. She did such a great job on the hour long car ride home and all rides since. As others have said, she knows sit, stay, lay down, shake, high five, and roll over. We’re working on drop, touch, and I’ve also noticed after walks in the wet grass or snow that if you tell her to wipe her feet when she walks in, she will go stand on the rug and sometimes spin around a couple times. Otherwise she will sit nicely on the rug until her harness is off. Percy is the greatest roommate and will make the perfect permanent addition to someone’s family. As I’ve gotten to know Percy I think she would do best in a household where she is the only pet and has a big yard to run and play fetch. Percy has loved any human that has come to our home, and walking by the neighbor kids outside doesn’t phase her. Percy does well in a kennel. I do keep her kenneled for a few hours in the morning while I’m at work. Otherwise I leave her out and she has free rein of the house and she does just fine. Percy has slept in her kennel overnight and doesn’t make a peep. She also sleeps in my bed and I barely know she’s there. Percy enjoys her squeaky toys. We found one that she can’t seem to destroy! She likes frozen Kongs and Pupsicles, as well as a nice tug-of-war competition, and tennis ball fetch. I also got her a few enrichment feeders/toys that she’s currently learning how to use. Percy will get the zoomies for a few minutes each night but is pretty relaxed and the cuddliest pup otherwise. We’re currently working on Percy’s leash walking. I’ve seen great improvement in the last two months as Percy isn’t as reactive to other animals and doesn’t pull nearly as much. It seems she will pull until she finds a spot to potty and then relaxes, so I’ve noticed if I keep her in my yard until she goes potty the walk is more enjoyable for all. She’s well on her way to being the best leash walker. Percy is a wonderful dog, very smart, extremely cute, and will make the best addition to a lucky individual or family!  9/6/23 Foster Feedback: Percy is doing well with training! She knows sit, stay, shake, touch, down, leave it and find it. She is very eager to please her people and learn new things and loves the snacks that go along with training sessions. She is still learning off (jumping up) and leash manners. Percy still has her puppy energy but has settled in well! She enjoys having structure and goes into her crate without any issues. She sleeps in her crate all night without any fuss. She has quite the personality! She loves running laps in the backyard with a toy and gets an occasional case of the zoomies! She enjoys as many walks as she can get! Percy really is a sweet girl and deserves a loving family she can grow old with! She likes following her humans around the house and doesn’t want to miss out on anything. She will snuggle up on your lap for as long as you let her. This girl is ready to show you her personality 7/5/23 Foster Feedback: Persephone loves people! Doesn’t want to miss out on what her humans are doing! The recent fireworks did not seem to phase her. She is highly entertained by toys and tennis balls and can typically entertain herself with them; however we do play fetch in the backyard a few times a day. Persephone likes to cuddle up beside us on the couch or in our laps. She knows her name and basic commands and is also house trained. She is crate trained and does very well in there. Goes to bed without making a noise! Percy is dog-reactive when on walks. She can be redirected with treats but will need continued training on this. A home with a fenced yard or active family for running around is recommended.  6/5/23 Foster Feedback: Persephone is a sweet and playful girl that loves to cuddle and play fetch as much as you'll allow! She would be best in a non-apartment environment, due to her still working on being a bit reactive to other dogs, and loving lots of space to move around and play. She is crate trained, potty trained, and is a turning into a great listener. Persephone would love a lively home that would give her lots of love and attention!To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org November 3, 2024, 6:27 pm

It is believed that he was born missing several toes and acquired a separate injury. Tommy completed treatments to the wound and has been cleared for adoption. It appears that new paw pads are growing and that he uses the leg well, however as it is healing the skin is more sensitive and he may benefit from a boot as protection. He may benefit from this as he continues to grow. We are unable to predict what will develop with his foot in the future, any treatments going forward would be the adopter’s responsibility. Foster Home Feedback  10/12/24 Sitter Feedback: I had the privilege of watching little Tommy while his foster family was away. He is an adorable little chap; funny, curious and cuddly. I have a large, quite dominant house wolfie (Working Line German Shepherd) and Tommy found his way to make friends, taking good cues on when to back off.  Tommy is kennel trained (he did cry a little on his first night with us, which is totally normal) and sleeps through the night. Having a frozen Kong with some yummy treats helps a lot with kenneling during the day. He did not have any accidents while with us, but we do stick to a potty schedule with him. Tommy enjoys working for his food and he excelled in “sit” and ‘down." His continued education should include stay and come (his recall is not bad, but not yet rock solid). This boy deserves the best family out there. He is absolutely adorable!   10/3/24 Foster Feedback: Tommy D is your typical happy-go-lucky pup, full of curiosity and enthusiasm. He adores his foster brother and sister and has quickly figured out their personalities—he knows which one loves to cuddle and which one is always up for some playtime and wrestling. Tommy is doing well with potty training, especially when kept on a routine. At night, he sleeps in a kennel next to our bed, but when we want to sleep in, he's more than happy to hop onto the bed and snuggle up with us. The injury to his foot has healed really well and while Tommy may never be a runner or rock climber he gets around well and it doesn’t hinder him in his day-to-day activities. Tommy is a sweet, happy puppy who has so much love to give.

I got Bleu from a small city in Wisconsin when he was only about 3 months. He is 2 years old now - I celebrate his birthday in February ! Im hoping to find a fun home for Bleu. Somewhere preferably with a large backyard. He likes to run around a lot! He’s full of energy, loves to be rubbed on, acts like a big baby. He loves being around people and is even okay with just being able to sit and lounge around while everyone talks. He absolutely LOVES attention. He enjoys long walks & being able to sleep in the bed. He is very strong , very loving, very protective. He’s really good around kids , very gentle and will usually just curiously watch & lay with the them. He’s good around other dogs - he was homed with my family’s boxer, Frenchie, and pug and he only ever wanted to play! But one of my favorite traits is that he’s very welcoming .

I am a 10 month old beefcake looking for a family to love! www.marshmallowfoundation.org

Ollie is a super duper cool pup looking for a forever home! He’s about 5.5 months old and getting bigger every day. His foster mama reports that he hasn’t had a potty accident in over 10 days! He loves kids, dogs and cats. He also knows how to sit, shake, whisper, speak, and working on stay. Ollie walks really well on a leash and is quiet outside in the fenced area. He leaves the barking to his foster sister . Ollie is also crate trained and sleeps through the night in his kennel.

Bandit is the sweetest boy. He loves to run and play with his foster brother, sniff and check out the yard, and try to figure out if the cats are friends. Bandit would love to join a family. He does well with kids, other dogs, and is learning that cats are friends, not to chase. We are still working on potty training but he’s a smart boy and will get it before too long. Bandit can be timid with new things and can need some confidence boosting but once he figures out that it’s safe, he’s ready to go. Currently, he is at home during the day with his foster mom who works from home. He does ok in the crate but he doesn’t love it. We can’t wait for him to find his forever family!
