She's your typical Bully breed, in that she is strong and exhuberant. But at the same time, she loves to just sit at your feet and watch TV with you.

Some New Faces.....
REIA - DSH Torbie & White, Spayed Female DOB Approx. July 1, 2009. She was living in a shed in a backyard when it was -30 outside and was brought in to be spayed. After surgery, she managed to escape from her kennel and hid for 3 weeks until we told her she could stay inside! Now she's a sweet, loving cat that loves attention - but doesn't demand it. She does very well with other cats and dogs too!
TIKA - DSH Black & White Spayed Female, approx DOB October 1, 2009. Tika was living in the same shed as Reia - but raising 4 tiny babies! They survived the bitter cold very well. Tika is such a sweet cat, and so desperately wanted to be held, that we simply couldn't put her back outside! Now that her babies are gone she's having a second kittenhood and is enjoying playing, cuddling, and sleeping on the bed! Does well with other cats and dogs.

Makayla is a sweet little (45 lbs) dog who loves people! She gets along fabulously with other dogs, and spends her time running around outside.

"Lucy" **transferred to A Better Chance Animal Rescue**
Breed: Border Collie X
Sex: Spayed Female
Age: 1 year
Lucy is a very active young dog. She would do great in agility or flyball sports. She loves to run and play with other dogs, but likes to chase cats. She is good with kids, and would make an excellent family dog. Lucy enjoys her daily walks, and would make a great running or hiking partner.

Colby wants you to know that adopting a Mature dog is very exciting! There will be no puppy messes, no potty training required, no chewing, and lots of love! He is a big boy, so will need plenty of space to stretch his legs! Requires alot of daily exercise to keep him content!
And we can't forget about Lexie!

Lexie is STILL looking for that furever home!!! She would like to find a family where she can be the only pet. Definitely no small dogs or cats. Lexie LOVES to go for walks and explore.

Looking For The Perfect Home....
"Kira" **adopted**
Breed: Shepherd X
Sex: Spayed Female
Age: 8 months
First up is Kira. She was found on the reserves with her mother and siblings, and taken in by the Misty Creek Dog Rescue. She was transferred here in hopes of finding her furever home! Kira has been here for about a month now and has been an absolute sweet heart! She is a petite, gentle dog who loves to be around people - and gets along with any other dog! She loves to go for walks, and play with other dogs. Kira would definitely make a great running partner. She is learning how to play fetch, and is such a quick learner! She has a lot of potential to be THE perfect dog... it won't be long before she is snatched up!!
"Ben" **transferred to A Better Chance Animal Rescue**
Breed: Pyrenees / Red Heeler X
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: 10-12 months
Next is Big Ben!! Ben was found outside of Town and brought to us in hopes of finding his family. His family never came looking, so Ben is now looking for a new home! He's a great big boy with a lot of energy! He loves to be outside, running around. Ben has been great with the other dogs, but has not yet been tested with cats. He would prefer a big farm or acreage to call home, as he does not like to be confined and will jump a fence to get out. If you're interested, please come visit this gorgeous dog!! You won't be disappointed!

Surrenders
we have TWO to share!
"Lady" **adopted**
Breed: Mini American Eskimo / Pomeranian X
Sex: Spayed Female
Age: 4 years
First up is Lady! Lady is a beautiful little dog with so much potential! She has been bounced around from home to home, and is longing to find that permanent furever one. Her last owner left her alone in the yard all day while at work, so Lady has picked up a habit of barking. But with the right stimulation, and even a canine companion to keep her company, Lady should be alright! She gets along with all dogs, big or small, and cats as well. Lady would do best in an active home, as she is a very high energy dog. She loves to go for walks, car rides, play with toys.... small energetic kids might be the perfect match for her! If you think Lady might be the right dog for you, please give us a call!
"Ziva" **transferred to A Better Chance Animal Rescue**
Breed: Blue Heeler / Shepherd X
Sex: Spayed Female
DOB May 30, 2009
Next is Ziva! Ziva was impounded by the police after her owner was charged during a traffic stop. He later admitted that she wasn't properly taken care of, and wanted us to find her a new home. She is still young, at 14 months, but knows alot! She is housetrained, leashtrained, knows "sit", comes when called, and listens very well. Ziva does great with other large breed dogs, but tends to pick on the smaller ones. For that reason, Ziva cannot go to a home with smaller dogs or cats. She is very energetic, and would make a great running / hiking partner! If you're looking for a smart, athletic dog... look no further! Ziva is very willing to please, and would still love to learn more!
