 Andrew9 Months Old
Neutered Male
Boston Terrier/ Lab Mix


A new picture of Andrew. Isn't he adorable?! We received the following email from the person who adopted Andrew's brother.

3/11/2010- I just wanted to check in about the Boston Terrier mix that's still left, "Andrew". I adopted his littermate "Patrick" a while ago, and I just feel bad that his poor little brother still hasn't found a family. He's such a cute dog - are there any specific reasons why you think he isn't getting adopted? I wish I could take him too but since I can't I'm trying to convince a friend or family member to adopt him.  Maybe a testimonial from the owner of his littermate will help: "Patrick", whom we have renamed "Malakai", is such an amazing little dog! He is a great companion and loves to cuddle up with me, but is also active enough to go on hikes. He has not had a single accident in our home and has taken very well to his crate. He is a very fast learner; it took only two days to teach him to go to the bathroom in one specific area of our yard. He is also really great with kids - we took him to visit my 16-month-old niece for the weekend recently and he was so sweet and gentle with her.

In honor of our 4 "babies". Cathy and Ed Rudisill

Adopted

3 Years Old
Neutered Male
Beagle


Plowser, possibly the world's largest beagle, is two or three years old.  He
is recovering from surgery on his back leg but is doing very well.  He may
always have a limp but it doesn't slow him down.  He loves people, food,
back rubs, food, belly rubs, food, cuddling with his person, food, napping
in the sun and food.  He is crate trained, knows "take a break" (go
potty)and is just a happy guy.  To avoid future encounters with cars he
needs a fenced yard.
