Troopers Update July 20, 2010

Today a surgical team of doctors coordinated by Dr. Laura Williamson, Waterhouse Animal Hospital evaluated Troopers condition. Dr Williamson was joined by Dr. Peter Walsh, Veterinary Surgical Group, a board certified surgeon, and Dr. Tammy Grubb an Anesthesia and Pain Management Specialist from Washington State University. At this time the doctors feel like Trooper’s paws are healing nicely without the skin grafts. He will have several more months of bandages to look forward too, but the doctors are optimistic that Trooper will make a full recovery. He will need to wear booties for some time to protect his feet after the bandages come off. He is currently being given Buprenex Injections and a morphine patch for pain. Two antibiotics, one anti-inflammatory, and a sedative to keep him calm. He has regular X-rays & blood work and his bandage changes will now be extended to every 3 or 4 days. Dr Conlan feels like Trooper is a happy, well tempered dog that will be able to enjoy a pretty normal life. He feels that the pads on his feet will never be normal again. He may need to wear booties to protect his paws. His toenails look as if there may be some nail bed left…only time will tell.

Trooper Update July 27, 2010

Trooper’s Long Road to Recovery…

Trooper’s paws have begun the healing process, but are still gruesome to look at. His doctors are pleased with his progress to date, with the exception of the rear hock. Physical Therapy will no doubt be in Trooper’s future. Trooper has a long road of recovery ahead! Oral pain meds were tried, but he was put back on the morphine patch at a lower dosage - without it, his pain was still too severe. The scrotum is healing but, again, the pictures show the severity of the damage.

Trooper has become the Central Valley’s dog! The outpouring of donations will cover his medical costs! The generous donations have been life saving for Trooper, and the Central California Labrador Retriever Rescue is so very grateful to have the financial help. Without these donations, the Rescue would have been stretched thin to come up with the necessary funds. Although, we believe we have received enough donations to cover Trooper’s medical costs, the all-volunteer Rescue is always in need of donations. We have multiple labs with expensive medical issues to take care of before they can go on to their forever homes.
Donations can be made directly at the Central California Labrador Retriever’s website www.cclabrescuecvc.org via PayPal or you may send your donation payable to: Trooper c/o CCLRR, PO Box 1484, Clovis CA 93613. Donations are tax deductible and the Central California Labrador Retriever Rescue is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization.

In the meantime, the CCLRR is still looking any information leading to who tortured this dog. Trooper was picked up in Madera County at the Madera Municipal Golf course (Ave 17 & Road 23 ½) on July 6th at 7:30 a.m. If you recognize this Lab or have any information, please contact the CCLRR at dogrescue@sti.net or call the Madera Control Office at 559-675-4275.

BENTLEY --

BENTLY is an 11 year old, 62 pound chocolate male who is deserving of so much more than fate dumped on him. He ended up in a rural shelter infested with fleas and having chewed most of his fur off trying to control his itching. We couldn't see such a sweet old soul spend his last days in a shelter so we rescued him. His foster took him in, treated him for the fleas, gave him medicated baths to soothe his itching, fed him expensive, high quality food to help him regain some weight and have some good nutrition. Now he's sleeping on his dog bed next to his foster's bed at night, enjoying the company of other dogs and just enjoying life again. Dogs like Bently are why so many of us do rescue. Just one look from those big doe eyes and you'll know the feeling too. No cats please.

BLAKE --

BLAKE is an 8 year old purebred yellow male. Hi, my name is Blake and while I am a tad overweight, I am not as big as my brother Max who needs to lose 40 lbs. I only need to lose about 10lbs to get down to the lean, mean, trim blond who will be ready for fun and games in no time. I am a happy dog who likes cats, kids and other dogs. I love to go for rides in the car or walking--just about anything you want to do, I will do, too! I just want to have fun and am looking for my forever home to let the good times begin. I love my brother and would be very happy if you took us both, but understand that we are a lot of a good thing and that may not be possible.

CASSIE #2 --

CASSIE #2 is a 6 year old, 62 pound black female and is looking for the right home to love her. She joined her foster parents in July and has been a hoot to have around. She is quite the lady, energetic but always polite and playful. She LOVES chewy toys (not furniture or clothes) likes her stuffed animals and pull toys and occasionally a tug ‘o war with them. Cassie will follow you everywhere and wait patiently to be petted when you just can’t resist her “doggy” look. She is crate trained and very quiet when left alone and sleeps in the crate all night (not in your bed although she would like to). She is VERY calm around humans, cats and other dogs, except for squirrels (well she IS a dog). Cassie would do well in either a single or multiple dog setting and is ready for the right family to adopt her.

DARIN --

DARIN is a 14 month old small (50 lbs) black male. This adorable boy is so smart...he has learned sit, down, sit for food, wait at the door and he is housebroken and he is learning to walk on lead. He loves to cuddle and when you stroke his head he almost purrs. Darin is great with other dogs....don't know about cats. NOW the downside...HE IS A PUPPY!!! He will chew anything you leave around, shoes, TV remote, cell phone...ANYTHING. He is getting better but he has to be watched like a hawk...he is silent and sneaky. He can scoop up a bit of food from a counter so fast you wonder where it went. He needs another dog to keep him company, someone to run him every day, the dog park at least 3 times a week and he will grow up to be a wonderful Lab.

DIPPY --

DIPPY is a 3 year old 60 pound yellow male. He is extremely thin, but the shelter has had no luck getting weight on him. Maybe because he lives to play ball! He just came into rescue, but the folks who know him well, said he's well worth the 6 hour drive to get him to us. He is very friendly, will sit on command, will roll over for belly rubs, loves the car rides, gets along with other dogs and did I mention, he loves his ball! Dippy received that name at the shelter by a worker because Dippy is missing a front canine and his tongue hangs out and he looks a little Dippy! Dippy needs an active family who will be dedicated to training him to make him the great dog we all know he can be.

DUKE #2 --

DUKE #2 is a 7 year old bundle of black Labbie love. He is a fantastic companion, great with kids and other dogs, loves water and likes to retrieve. Duke's family is very sad that they have to give him up, but they have their hands full with 2 small kids and no time for poor Duke. Duke currently lives with 2 Beagles, and those 2 are pestering him all the time, trying to jump on him, bite his ears and dominate him, but Duke takes it all with wagging tail. Any attention is welcome as far as he is concerned. So, if you are looking for a perfect dog to keep you company and give you lots of love, Duke is it! By the way, he is very handsome, the picture that we have doesn't do him any justice.

EMMA --

EMMA is the sweetest 2-ish year old 50+ pound chocolate female. She came into a local shelter having been hit by a car with a broken right rear leg. The shelter staff splinted it and left her to wait for her people to claim her. They never came, but rescue was waiting for the first second we could claim her, and we took her directly to our orthopedic surgeon who took her directly into surgery. Emma had a compound fracture which means part of the bone came through the skin--she waited 5 days before she could get treatment and through it all, our evaluator said she was so happy. Our vet put her back together good as new, but she'll need a few weeks of crate/quiet time to heal. The nicest surprise is Emma is wonderful! We nicknamed her M&M though M&Ms don't melt in your hands, Emma melts in your hands, your arms, at your feet--she loves her belly rubs! And she's not shy about getting them! Her foster is taking her to work and Emma will 'talk' to delivery men but it's not being protective, it's more like 'I'm over here, come rub my belly!' She is a real charmer and she will charm her way into your heart. She can only go out on potty breaks and cuddle time, but she's tolerating it very well and it's a great opportunity to bond.

HONEY --

HONEY is a 2 1/2 year old yellow female. She had just weaned her pups and was ready to move on with her life as a good looking single girl when BANG! she is kicked by a horse and has to have her left front leg amputated. Surgery was not piece of cake, but she has done remarkably well adapting to a three legged lifestyle. Honey is housebroken, ignores cats, likes to play ball and take a dip in the pool. She is particular about the doggie company she keeps; she's a princess who likes her space and doesn't appreciate pushy personalities. Honey is a special girl who will make a wonderful addition to a loving family.

HONEY #2 --

HONEY #2 is a 3 year old chubby black female. HAH! Had you fooled, huh? You were expecting a yellow girl, weren’t you???? I am a true rescue, my hooman was in a bad place and her ex-boyfriend was threatening to hurt us! These nice people got us out, and into foster homes. I am just settling in so I am learning about my new peeps! I love riding in the car, I don’t bark too much, I’m pretty mellow so I have been told, but I need help with walking on a leash. I am crate AND kennel trained too! I am pretty short and stocky, and a little chubby at the moment. I am on a diet, maybe lose 10 pounds, then I will be a sleek beauty! I was protective of my son Rufus, so it is new to me to be without him. I keep thinking the other boys are Rufus and I try to tell them what to do. Apparently I’m not supposed to do that, so I am learning not to. I gotta tell ya, I love me some Kong and chew toys! I have been told I am a love bug, and I love being with my hoomans! They rock!

HOOVER --

HOOVER is a “7” year old 70+ pound black male. The shelter initially said 7 but we all agree he probably is much younger--more like 4-5 years old. He is a bit overweight but the weight does not slow him down when it comes to playing ball. He was a stray to a northern California shelter where he has been for a few months hoping the curse of the black dog wouldn't be his fate. Black dogs are overlooked in shelters and are always the last to be adopted even in rescues. Hoover deserves so much better. He has not had much training but he's willing and eager to learn. He'll do anything for food! Hoover needs a second chance--will someone see the special boy in Hoover that we see?

IZZY --

IZZIE is a 9 year old yellow male. Here is what his foster has to say.... “I picked Izzie up from Lake Tahoe, he is a pure bred labbie that is an absolute sweet heart……he has been given a bath which he talked my ear off about…guess he hasn’t had one in sometime and I filled up three bags of dog hair from brushing him…took him on a 4 mile walk and swim in the lake which proved to be interesting…I swear someone was hiding in the bushes videotaping it for Americas funniest home videos…..and is extremely mello in the house…..no issues with food or dog aggression and my kids love him my daughter lays down with him on the floor and uses him as a pillow.” UPDATE: Poor Izzie had heartworm. He has finished his treatment and is ready for his "Forever Home". If you're looking for the perfect Lab, this boy is it!

LADY --

LADY is an 89 pound 7 year old dark yellow female. She is affectionately called Speed Bump or Speed at her foster's home for obvious reasons. Turned over to rescue with her brother and sister when her elderly owner could no longer care for her, she is a well loved and well socialized girl. She is house trained, walks well on a leash, knows sit, and I can't recall ever hearing her bark. She comes and goes in and out with a doggie door going outside to bathe in the sun or coming in and cooling off on the tile. Now that she's lost some weight (the diet continues), we are seeing the playful side of Lady. She'll lay on her side and paw and play with her foster's dogs. She is such an easy going girl--she'd be the perfect edition to any household. She has so much love to share and all she asks in return are some scratches behind the ears with sweet baby talk--then watch the tail go into helicopter mode--it's not a true wag but more of a circular motion. We have fallen in love with her, and we're sure you will too!

LUCKY #3 --

LUCKY #3 is about a 50 pound petite 16 month old yellow female. Owner could not keep her and asked rescue for help finding her a perfect home. She immediately found one through another rescue but when the adopters went to take her to the vet, she was scared to death and growled at the vet so they returned her. She has since gone to the vet without the same reaction, but her foster mom has the same reaction when going to the dentist so she understands her fear! Lucky is very sweet! She is house trained, crate trained, knows sit, shake and down and walks pretty well on a leash with some correction. She gets along great with kids, dogs and cats. So far, we see excellent house manners though she has a fondness for getting comfy on the couch or your lap. What a great little girl Lucky is. And what a lucky family who gets to call her theirs.

LUCKY #4 --

LUCKY #4 is a large 118 pound 7 year old black male. Along with his 2 'sisters', he was rescued from a home that had been sold in foreclosure when the ailing elderly owner could no longer care for himself or his dogs. Lucky is a happy, easy going guy who just goes with the flow. According to family members, the dogs had been inside dogs and are house trained. But with no one living at the house, they were relegated to a foxtail ridden back yard for a while. We got him home to a good bath and brushing and then off to the vet for a complete check up. We knew when we met Lucky that he had a badly infected ear and it's now being treated and he feels so much better already. Lucky has been around the grandchildren and he is very calm but the tail is a weapon to anything at that height. Lucky is already starting a diet and exercise program and we know it will take some time to get him to his lean weight again, but even at 20+ pounds overweight, Lucky is a very handsome lab indeed.

LUKE --

LUKE is a 7 year old 90 pound tall chocolate male. Sweet, silly, happy describe him to a T! He appears to be house trained, is crate trained, knows sit and shake. He likes and plays with big and small dogs and is supposed to be good with cats. He has nice house manners from what we've seen--he'll sniff along the counter but isn't taking...and as tall as he is, he could do it easily. He came by way of a local shelter where he was not put up for adoption because he had a tumor on his right side. Our vet removed it and felt good enough that he went ahead and neutered him at the same time. Luke is Mr. Personality--what a character!

MARTY --                              Adopted! Thank You!

MARTY is a handsome 3 year old 80 pound black male. He is a happy energetic boy who could use some finishing school on his manners, but his happy, affectionate personality will win you over. He is new to rescue but in the short time we've had him, we know he knows sit, doesn't bark, loves people of all ages but little ones might get knocked over due to his size, enjoys playing with other dogs, and likes water. The shelter staff described him as 'full of life wanting to share it with everyone he meets, will be a fun addition for an active family'. We couldn't agree more--and with consistent positive training, Marty will be the perfect family pet.

MAX #3 --

MAX #3 is an 8 year old purebred yellow male. Did someone say it was time to eat? This hungry hippo is in desperate need of Jenny Craig. He weighs 110lbs. Other than a need to drop about 40 lbs, he is such a delight. Well-mannered with a beautiful temperament, an absolute love. If you are looking for a walking partner to get into shape by starting off with very short, slow walks, please check out Max. He gets along great with his foster brothers and his actual brother, Blake! Friendly to cats and everyone who has come by to say hello. Did we mention he is simply beautiful?

MOLLY --

MOLLY is a 75 lb, 10 year old black female, a sweet loving dog that was dumped at the shelter because the owners didn't have time for her. She was flea ridden and hair missing on her rear end. Rescue stepped in & saved her. She rode all the way from San Jose in the back seat lying on the volunteers lap. She was so stressed looking for her owner. With a good diet & fish oil pills she will look like as good as new soon. Molly is housebroken, loves her walks & stuffed toys. Molly is so happy in her foster home with other labs to play with she has put the past behind her & waiting for the perfect home to be loved as a family memberDon't let the grey muzzle fool you she has plenty of spunk.

MOLLY BROWN --                             

Miss MOLLY BROWN, is a sweet 10 years young chocolate spayed female lab who will melt your heart. She loves everyone and every dog. Upon meeting most people, she will immediately roll over onto her back for a belly rub and then thank you with kisses. She even kisses my other three dogs just to say hi. She is great around children and doesn't seem interested in the cat we walked by. She hops right into the car and promptly falls asleep. Molly isn't really a ball-chaser but loves to go on walks and is great on the lead. She is a gentle soul who takes treats delicately and doesn't inhale her food. She does like to eat though and while she has the shorter stature of an English lab, I am working on having her lose a few pounds. She would be a wonderful addition to any family

MOOSE #3 --

MOOSE #3 is a sweet 4-month old, 42 pound purebred black male. He was rescued from a shelter and is enjoying being around his foster family, that consists of (4) young children, a 13 y/o Lab/mix, a 4 1/2 month old Lab/mix puppy and a kitten. He is very smart, has a soft mouth, is eager to please and really wants to be around his people. He does well in the car and is housebroken. He knows sit, is working on stay and other commands. He is also being crate-trained.

NELLIE --                              Adopted! Thank You!

NELLIE is a 3 year old AKC registered black female. Here is what her foster writes about her ~ “We’ve had Nellie since last Thursday. She is very sweet tempered yet very much a 75 lb puppy. I suspect that since she spent all her time outside or in a crate, not being in the house ever that she hasn't had much attention, so we are working on her manners. She still exhibits puppy mouthing behaviors and is very excitable. Nellie does well on a leash, pulls a little but is very manageable, she seems to be most comfortable on a leash with a possible mission. She seems to ignore cats and I took her near the horses in our neighborhood and she didn't react to them much at all. She rides very well in the car. She has been trained for upland bird hunting, but I don't know how to evaluate her for her knowledge of commands. I'm sure she could use a refresher course. Nellie would be best suited for an experienced dog owner who had the patience to continue working with her manners and to continue working on obedience training. I would not recommend her for a family with small children because of her excitability. She has done well with my 13 and 9 year old girls, but we also work with the girls as much as we work on the dogs when we have fosters. She would also do best with someone that would take her hunting as she seems to need a purpose and a job.”

NINA --

NINA is a 7 year old black female. She has energy and then settles nicely. She was rescued on her last day at a bay area shelter because they said she was 'too old'. We are thrilled we saved her and she is rewarding us with showing us she is already house trained (barks to be let out), rides well in a car, has nice manners, walks well on a leash, is a sweet, loveable dog that will give years of love without a lot of demands. She will chase a cat that runs and could possibly be trained to co-exist if you are willing to work at it. We're still getting to know her during her kennel cough quarantine but what we've seen so far, she's a winner. UPDATE: The consensus is that Nina is closer to 7 years old not 9. She loves all people, is housebroken, sleeps 12 hours at night in her crate without a peep, shakes a paw along with 4 other commands, stays in the house alone for 6 hours, and loves to go for a walk. Nina wants to be with you and just is thrilled to lay at your feet. She prefers not to share her family with other pets.....although she is working on this with her foster mom and feels just awful when the cats run and she can't help but chase them. If there a loving family out there that wants just a sweet, affectionate, faithful, older black lab, Nina is your girl!

PHINNEAS --

PHINEAS is a 6-7 year old ~ 90 pound chocolate male. He was rescued from a shelter and thankfully, because he has so much to offer. Don't let the gray muzzle fool you--his teeth are pearly white! He loves to be with or around people, he’s a social butterfly, however, feels most comfortable around his main ‘caregiver.” He is house broken and listens to his commands but still pulls on a leash, however, needs consistency in his environment. He is still a tad nervous around other dogs but very inquisitive, he just likes to take his time. He loves his walks and ‘fetch’ might as well be his middle name because he can do that all day and will return whatever it is you throw. He has an abundance of love to give to anyone. I believe Phineas would be most happy in a home where he gets a good deal of attention, he doesn’t show much dismay because I have yet to hear him bark, however, he is most happy with company (what dog isn't?!). He does have a wondering eye for food left unattended so be forewarned Phineas is a true sweetheart and given time to get accustomed to his new home, he’ll be a true delight. He has the most endearing behavior--he 'sucks' on his security blanket while kneading it like a cat--it is unbelievably adorable! Because of his size and enthusiasm to play fetch, a home without small children is a must. And no cats please.

NEVADA NEEDS OUR HELP

Nevada doesn't have a Lab Rescue so we try to help. We need short term foster families in the Reno area willing to keep Labs for us until we can arrange to bring then "over the hill". We also need transportation. If you can help, please e-mail jackilab@comcast.net

RAINEY --

RAINY is an 2 year old pale yellow female, but what they say about blondes does not apply here. Rainy is as smart as a whip. Rainy's early life was spent very isolated as a breeding dog. She was adopted in December by a loving family and had 6 months of doggie heaven. Unfortunately, rough economic times made it necessary for Rainy to be returned to rescue. So once again, everything is new, and a little scary, but once she knows that she is safe you will see the happy, friendly girl inside. She gets along with other dogs. Cats are very interesting to her, so much so that she drives them crazy. She is housebroken and crate trained. Rainy is a petite, playful girl who will win your heart, if you give her a chance.

RUFUS --

RUFUS is a 2-year old black male with really nice demeanor. This sweet boy and his mom Honey #2 are true rescues. The woman who had them had to flee for her life after an ex-boyfriend threatened to kill her AND her dogs. We stepped in where we could help--the dogs! Rufus is just settling into his foster's house and from what they can tell so far he gets along fine with other dogs both big and small and he likes children--especially ones who hand out free belly rubs. Rufus is looking for a home where he will be part of the family and though he could benefit from an obedience course he is quite mellow for his age and responds well to correction. Rufus really just cares about his people and both giving and receiving affection. Did I mention he thinks he is a 75lb lap dog?

Seal
                       

SEAL (April) is a 4 month old black female. I was adopted last week, but the baby in the house was found to have severe allergies. The nice family brought me back to rescue, so I am still available! My new name is April, and I think it’s a pretty name. I know my forever family is out there, I can just feel it! Maybe a little scared? Well don't be! I ask for very little - a safe yard to play in, a doggie friend or a stay at home human to hang with, 2 squares a day, a big comfy bed and lots of hugs & kisses. In return, I will promise to be good and be your forever best friend. My foster mom is pretty picky about where I go, but there has to be someone out there. Okay, I get it! My white chest is confusing you. Here's the scoop, mom's grand dad was a German shorthaired retriever and I inherited the white spots. Only thing is, the spots all ended up in one big "bulls eye" on my chest! Daddy "Tank" is a beautiful yellow lab while my mommy "Shady" is a small field black lab. That's why I am a little different, but hey you can surely spot me in a crowd. I guess I am special just like my foster mom says. By the way, I am housebroken, crate trained and I just turned 4 months!!! Are you calling about me?

TIGER WOODS / MANNY --

TIGER WOODS (Manny) is a beautiful 10 month old black male. Tiger was adopted by a wonderful family 6 months ago, but came back to rescue due to family health issues. Tiger will be 11 months old on September 1 and he loves to exercise and be with his people. Tiger was raised with two children and loves to play with other dogs and family members. He doesn’t care for cats as he thinks it’s a game of Cat and Mouse and he is the Cat and the cat is the mouse. Tiger is looking for a wonderful family that he can once again call his own. He would like an active family to where he can get out and run off this puppy energy. Tiger is very good in the house and is potty trained. He loves chew toys and things to keep him busy. He has attended obedience school and would need someone to reinforce that to keep this little guy on the right track. If you are looking for a nice guy to add to your family please consider coming and meeting Tiger.

DIEGO #2 --                              Adopted! Thank You!

DIEGO#2 is a 3 1/2 year old, 75-80 lb. black male. Diego comes to us from our local shelter in Fresno. He's a beautiful dog and is very sweet. He loves car rides and is well behaved in the car. Diego seems to be on the mellow side. We are just getting to know Diego and will update soon.

ELI --                              Adopted! Thank You!

ELI is a 2 year old yellow male. He is housebroken and crate trained. Eli is very sweet and loves people although he is shy at first. Eli is a classic couch potato. He is content to lie around all day, but is always up for a walk or play time with his foster family and a good game of chase with his foster dog buddy. After getting to know him better and working with him by his fosters, we now think Eli would love a home with a dog buddy. He has learned to share very well. He is an easy dog that would love a nice home.

JAZZ --                             

JAZZ is a 5 year old, 85 lb. chocolate male. He's good with other dogs, people, and is housetrained. He rides great in the car. He walks well on leash with a little correction and knows some basic commands. Sorry, no kitty cats though. Jazz just loves his people and would be a great companion for a family who has someone home most of the time. His previous owner was with the fire department and would sometimes be away from home for days at a time. This proved to be too long for Jazz and he became very unhappy. Jazz is is content to lie by your feet and look at you with his adoring eyes. He just needs a chance and a little time to get used to a new home. He's a sweet guy just lookin for love.

**Fresno **

KATY --

KATY is a 7 month Lab/Golden Retriever yellow female, approx. 40 lbs. Katy knows sit, down, stay and walks well on leash. Katy is crate trained. Katy gets along well with other dogs although she can become a bit pesky with all of her puppy energy. Katy is shy when she first meets people and will require some patience when first meeting new people. Katy plays well with kids once she gets to know them. Katy will require further training and consistency with all that she currently knows. Katy loves her doggie massages and will lovingly lay her head in your lap for a scratch behind the ears!

OUT OF STATE PUPPIES                        

We are 10 puppies from a medium boxer/lab mix momma found wandering the countryside.
We were born May 23. We are now in a loving foster home with our momma and siblings. We have been altered and our shots are started.
We are happy and growing daily. We can be part of your CA family if you say the word. You see we are all in Arkansas at the moment because black Lab babies are not very well adopted there.
There are too many black dogs wandering the countryside.
All vetting, microchipping and transportation from our non-profit group is a tax deductible $225.00.
Please apply courtesy of our rescue partner for allowing us to post dogs to: jeffcoarkansashumanesociety@yahoo.com we will respond within 24 hours.

COURTESY POST FOR SCOOTER'S PALS: Contact SusanW1068@aol.com

Betty Jo is a sweet and special girl!! She is a Lab mix, and we are pretty sure she is mixed with Border Collie. She is exceptionally smart. She was in a one-week foster with small children and she has been very loving with people of all ages and has done very well with the other dogs she's met and been fostered with, but thinks chasing cats is fun so would be best in a home without cats.

Betty Jo is approximately 5 years old and she weighs about 58 lbs. She is also housebroken. She was rescued from the Sacramento County shelter on her last day there. She had an ear infection that is pretty much all cleared up now.

Betty Jo is vaccinated, de-wormed, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention and is microchipped. She is getting spayed on 6-21-10.

Betty Jo deserves to find the best forever home ever!! For more information about her, please contact her foster mom LaRue at larue@surewest.net. For more information about Scooter's Pals' adoption process, please contact Susan at susanw1068@aol.com or call 530-301-9335 or 530-265-9335.

SASSY

Sassy is a 6 year old, very healthy, female black lab mix

Sassy loves to play with toys, is house broken, has been spayed, has all her shots, and is micro-chipped. Sassy is not aggressive toward other dogs - but she will bark at them briefly before shying away.
July 16, 2010
As you know many families have economic problems forcing them to give up pets when moving back in with parents or other family.

Do you and your kids want a family dog? If you adopt this sweet female Lab you spare yourself from suffering through all the house breaking, vet expenses, and obedience training required to raise a puppy. There is a lot to like in rehoming a grown dog like Sassy.

Adopting this well mannered lady gives your children the opportunity to immediately enjoy a sweetheart dog. Sassy is a *family* dog that loves to play with the kids. She is used to being in the house with small children. Because Sassy was raised with children she is gentle with them.

Sassy loves to play with toys, is housebroken, has been spayed, has all her shots, and is micro-chipped. Sassy is not aggressive toward other dogs - but she will bark at them briefly before shying away. Contact Reggie at reggie@katmom.com
