Bios -Please Pass us Along!

Well, its been almost a month since Migo and DimSum came into foster care, and over two months now since Zephyr and Jasmine have been here. These are long fosters compared to my usual, so I'm asking that anyone who happens across the blog, please share one or more of the current fosters. (DimSum has interest, so if you could share one of the others, that would be preferred). Or, you can share this full page :)

First we have: Zephyr

Zephyr is a couch potato supreme. He is also an incredibly EASY dog. He loves to go for walks, but is equally content chilling out and watching a movie. Housetrained, crate-trained, 0 seperation anxiety, and great mellow, calm energy. He would be a great fit for a senior, but also for someone who works 8 hours a day and just wants great company. Zephyr is 45 pounds, but should be closer to 40. He is 7 years old, and in great health except being on the chunky side.


Then we have: Migo

Migo is an awesomely affectionate, cuddle-butt supreme, and great exercise partner. He is a whippet mix. He learns commands quickly and is easy to please. He is great on a leash, would be good off-leash with some training. He is great with all dogs, big and small, and is very playful with both people and dogs. He would love a home with kids, but is truly flexible to any home that will give him ample exercise and cuddle time. Migo is 1 1/2 years old, about 25 pounds (tall and LEAN), though a titch underweight. He has lab-like personality, in a smaller  frame. He is housetrained with frequent access to outside, crate-trained, and would be okay left home for 4-6 hours daily.



Then we have: Jasmine

Jasmine is a very sweet, but tidbit skittish Formosan Mountain dog mix. She is 37 pounds, just turned 8 years old. She lived almost her whole life in a crate, so takes time to transition to living in a house, but comes out of her shell when you give her lots of patience and loving. Jasmine is good on her leash, enjoys going for walks, and laying around your feet. She can be pacey in new environments until she settles in. She truly is an old soul that really deserves that chance to be a true 'house pet' and not sealed away from the world. She would suit a calm, patient person, preferably with another dog or two. She is housetrained with frequent outings, and is crate-trained. Her crate is her safe place, so it is highly recommended her new family be open to having a crate in the house.

And last but not least, we have: DimSum


DimSum is a sweet, sensitive, gentle girl whose only downfall is being shy to strangers. Give her a half an hour and some food, and she warms up just fine. She is a nine month old terrier mix -Airedale-ish-, about 40-45 pounds, will probably fill out around 50. She is good with other dogs, on the submissive side, but will tell off a dog with inappropriate manners. She is super cuddly, playful and affectionate with those she knows -indeed, she's the first one to greet you when you come home! She will need someone who will continue on with her socialization, to make her the best she can be. She could be an only dog, or live with another dog or two.

Passed along on facebook. If I wasn't going to be away for work so much and was already leaving the husband with Cooper, I'd think about adopting one of your lovely dogs myself...
