Jethro
Jethro is an Australian Cattle Dog mix with ?? Maybe Sheppard? He is about 70lbs and full of energy. More specifically High Energy. He came from a local shelter where the family went to visit him a couple of times. Each time bringing their current dog with them to make sure that it was all going to work out before finalizing any adoption and bringing him home. They seemed to get along and home he came.
Unfortunately, once he was settled in things changed. Apparently he would like all the attention for himself.
He is a wonderful guy who is crate trained and house broken since day one. He listens very well and is a VERY quick learner. He is gentle considering his size and has respected his “mommy” as the “leader of the pack” since day one. Very much a cuddle bug Jethro is quite content to just sit and be petted as well. Having said that, let us not forget that he is VERY HIGH ENERGY as well and LOVES to play and run.
Jethro is NOT the type of dog for apartment living or renting and MUST have a fenced in back yard. He would prefer and needs to be an “only child” as far as other animals go. Because he still needs to learn some manners when it comes to jumping up we do not recommend that he moves in with children under the age of 12 yrs old for this reason only. We do not know how he would be around cats however we would have to expect the chase to be on as he is a herding breed. Because of this not recommended for a home with cats.
If you are interested in possibly giving Jethro his new forever home or for more information, please contact Kacy at: 229-4989 or at mustangkacy2002@yahoo.com . Thank you.
Hanna
Hanna's Story
This little girl is a pure breed Jack Russell Terrier and is true to her breed J. A fun, energetic little girl at only 8 yrs old and 13 lbs she was raised in a home with another small dog but would definitely prefer to be an only child. She would not do well in a home with cats as she does have a high prey drive as this breed generally does.
Hanna knows all kinds of tricks and basic obedience as well. She knows sit and stay and also jumping in your arms, dancing and roll over. How cute is that? Her favorite thing to do is play ball and will play fetch with you all day long if you are up for it.
Though Hanna can be a bit “bossy” (again true to this breed) she can also be quite loving as well. She does seem to get along with just about anyone she meets however can be a bit protective over the ones that she loves and will not be placed in a home with children because of this trait. She also knows what she wants and when she wants it (sounds like a typical woman to me!). If around another dog, she is defiantly in charge and would do best as an only pet or with one other smaller submissive type dog. Basically if they leave her alone, she will leave them along. She is not one to make friends easily if another dog wants to play.
Lastly, she is housebroken and will not run off (though we would not allow this little girl to be off lead and will need a home with a fenced in back yard due to her high energy). She does like to “steal” things on occasion and when she does she will protect them but has never chewed up anything. She just likes to have stuff as her own.
Hanna is spayed and up to date on all shots. She has been VERY well taken care of and loved.
The reason she is seeking a new home is because the family is a young couple who has had a baby and Hanna is quite jealous of it. She is taking it out on them, the other dog and the baby.
The family would like to be kept posted on how she is doing every few months for at least the first year. This is a good family who loves their “kids” and this is very hard for them. In the event if for any reason it does not work out, Hanna is to be returned to them.
Please due your research on this breed before inquiring.
If you are interested in more information or meeting Hanna, please contact Marsha at 518-207-5400 or 518-280-1188. There will be an interview with the family and a home visit to decide which home/family will be the best match. Thank you.
Roxy & Smokey
Roxy & Smokey's Story
Smokey and Roxy can be either inside or outside dogs, they like to be outside during the day and inside at night. They are house trained and have really good manners while inside. Smokey likes to lay on cool floors (tile, laminate, wood) while Roxy likes to lay on softer things (carpet, blankets, couch) They are really good with cats, Roxy likes to play with them. Smokey really isn't that interested but doesn't mind them. They get along well with other dogs if properly introduced. They really haven't had any interactions with children so I am not sure how they would do with them. Maybe teenagers. They are timid at first but very loving and very playful when they warm up to you. They love to be petted and love to give kisses. Smokey is EXTREMELY laid back, Roxy is a little more uptight but both are very good dogs. They love to go on walks and be outside. They would definitely need a fenced yard, they love to run and if they don't have anything to stop them, they could go for miles and miles.
Roxy and Smokey are very sweet & loving dogs.
