. Maggie has an angel!   Thank you Tanya Lam!

 

Comments:  Maggie May is an Akita mix, with what - we don't know.  She was adopted once from the shelter and then returned a few weeks later because the adopters were moving.  Sadly, this put Maggie in danger of being put to sleep if a new home wasn't found quickly. No one came to adopt her and we couldn't let her be euthanized.  She is just too sweet.  Maggie loves to cuddle and will sit on command.  She jumps right into a crate in the back of a car and rides quietly.  She was temperament tested at the shelter and passed on the food, toy and treat tests.  She was fine with cats and ignored other dogs.  She is a happy well-behaved girl who will make someone a wonderful companion.  She wants to live in the house and spend as much time with her family as she can.  When she's outside, she will need a secure 5-6 foot fence with a secure gate.  Maggie walks nicely on a leash and will make you smile.  We've learned that Maggie barks and has a tendency to wander.  So you will need to keep an eye on her until she feels at home.  She would do best in a country setting.  Maggie has LOTS of energy and needs a home where she can get LOTS of attention.   Maggie is up to date on her vaccinations and is micro-chipped.

:: Name :: Kelley
:: Age :: 6-7 years
:: Gender :: Spayed female
:: Weight :: 75 pounds
 :: Status :: Ready for her forever home
:: Health :: Diagnosed with Pemphigus - see below

Comments:

Kelley is now in her long-term foster home where she is learning her house manners.    She is very sweet and needs her own family badly.  She came to us from a shelter where she had been brought in as a stray. She had followed a girl home from school and her family never came to claim her.   She is learning to enjoy quiet time in her crate. Kelley accept treats gently and walks well on a leash.  We learn more about her every day.  We do know she is FAST!  - a speedy Akita. 

Kelley has been diagnosed with pemphigus which is an auto-immune disorder.  She will eventually need to be on steroids and supplements.  And she needs a good SPF-15 sunscreen on her nose when she is out in the sun.  She can live a long and happy life! 

UPDATE:  Kelley is good with children and cats. 

 

 


 
Name :: Takara  (2)
Age :: 8 years old
Gender :: Spayed female
Weight :: 80 pounds
 Status :: Available for Adoption
Health :: Good - senior girl with arthritis
.  

 

Comments: 

This is our second Takara and she is a sweet as the first.  Takara was found in the middle of a field during our very snowy winter.  She had fallen and could not get up.  Who knows how long she lay out there in the cold.  Happily she is now in a loving foster home where she has a warm bed and plenty of food and water.  Takara is getting on a bit in years but she has a lot of love left to give.  She does have arthritis and may need some pain control and anti-inflammatory meds. 

 

Securely fenced yard a must.   Takara is current on vaccinations and is micro-chipped.  Adoption application, home check and adoption contract required.

 


 
Name :: Tasha
Age :: 2 -3 years old
Gender :: Spayed female
Weight :: 90 pounds
 Status :: Available for Adoption
Health :: Excellent
.  

 

Comments: 

Tasha is back with WAG.  Her new family can no longer keep her.   This is not through any fault of her own.  The living situation has changed, so she needs a new loving, forever home.   Tasha has LOTS of energy and needs structure and consistency in her life.  She still needs work on her manners and needs to be a house dog.  Do not leave this dog outside alone.  She will not be happy.  Since she is such an exuberant girl, no children under 14.  She does get along with  other dogs.  UPDATE:  Tasha is now friends with a dog tolerant cat.

Securely fenced yard a must.   Tasha is current on vaccinations and is micro-chipped.  Adoption application, home check and adoption contract required.

Akira is a older girl whose owners can no longer keep.  She is smart and confident and very sweet but must be an only pet.  She is good with children and has a stable temperament.   If you have a spot in your heart for the oldies, please contact WAG and we can get you in touch with her family.
