ZOEY
is12 years old and was surrendered due to changes in the family's lifestyle
-- new grandchild in the household and moving to low income housing which doesn't
allow pets. Zoey is extremely overweight, but she has a thyroid condition that
is now being properly managed so her weight should be dropping off quickly. She
is quiet and just looking for a retirement home. |

GRACIE
has an interesting story. She was found on the side of the road about six years
ago in Muskego Wisconsin, after apparently just having birth. No one knows
where she came from or where her puppies ended up. The family that found her
were unable to locate her owners and placed her with a family friend who called
WSR for support. They were getting ready to leave for a 2-week vacation, so
I boarded her and got her spayed while they were gone. They took her back and
had her for the last six years. Recently, the owner has had some major health
problems and has decided that she is unable to keep Gracie, so she's here again
and looking for a retirement home. She is probably about 9 years old and a
very pretty bi-blue. She rarely barks and you hardly know that she's in the
house. She gets along with other dogs and pretty much minds her own business. |

BAILEY
just turned 3 in June. He is an oversized tri color male who was surrendered
for not bonding with the men in the family. There were also three children in
the house, which always makes for a nervous herding dog. He was purchased as
a puppy, but his pedigree shows a lot of the same breeders who sell dogs at the
Thorpe Dog Auction so that probably accounts for his lack of social skills. He's
a timid guy, doesn't say much and would definitely need a fenced in yard or he'll
bolt on you. A single woman or a house where the man isn't looking for a cuddly
dog for himself would be great. The family recently got him neutered, but it's
not a cure-all and with time, hopefully he'll gain more confidence and become
more loving. Right now, he just wants to have some space and time to figure things
out. |
