ADOPTED
Chica (DOB 3/24/15) is one of
the recent puppy mill surrender
dogs. She
suffered from masticatory muscle
myositis (MMM),
an auto
immune disease, which
seriously damaged the muscles in
her head and jaws.
The
disease is not active and she
should have a normal lifespan,
but will need to be monitored
for reoccurrence.
It
is easier for her to eat
softened food.
As
a result of the disease, which
was intensely painful, and her
deprived life in a small cage,
she is very shy and can be
fearful.
She always leaves
herself an escape route, even
when approaching for petting,
and may startle and run if
unexpectedly touched or if she
feels trapped.
This
has been improving after a short
time in a foster home.
After
she develops comfort and trust
in her new home, she readily
approaches for petting (which
she adores) and treats.
She
loves small antlers and
stuffies, and is very
enthusiastic about meals, which
she demands with her cute,
yipping bark. She
is housebroken.
She
signals by pacing near the door,
and benefits from several trips
out. She
readily cages, expecting a
treat. While
it may be difficult to get the
lead on her, she is compliant
when on it, and rides well.
Picking
her up causes near panic, but
she is improving.
She
has not learned long flights of
stairs yet. She
has been very good with all dogs
and cats she has met, and would
really benefit from presence of
other dogs, with proper
introductions.
She
likes the company, it lends her
confidence, and she cues
behavior from her companions.
She
occasionally will also play,
although she is just learning
how, and frightens if it gets
rough. She
would not do well in a home with
small, noisy or very active
children. She
needs a fenced yard.
She
has a truly sweet, happy
personality and desperately
wants a home to grow to her full
potential, and is just as cute
as she can be!
Chica is fully up to date
on vaccinations, microchipped,
received a one-year ProHeart
heart worm preventive, has had a
dental, and will come with her
cage and bed. She is a truly
deserving sweetheart!
All
she lacks is a home to call
her
own with a fenced
yard to explore. If you

Dali
Dali (DOB
10/1/2013) is a sweet senior
girl who had been bounced around
four homes by eight months old
with her brother. Due to her
lack of socialization, major
issues of behavior, and high
anxiety levels, she was placed
into the JNMRF Forever Foster
program in July, 2014, where she
had remained until a
catastrophic change in situation
there caused her to be placed in
boarding in early March. She is
not doing well in boarding, and
urgently needs a foster or
adoptive home.
Over the
course of time, Dali became a
loving house dog. She adores
petting and will cuddle
endlessly, pawing for more
petting. She is house- and
crate-trained, loves riding,
fully housebroken, and can be
left loose in the house for
several hours if given a potty
break beforehand, or can be
crated. She does very well at
the vet and for grooming, and
adores having her coat blown out
with a high-speed blower,
leaping onto a grooming table.
She occasionally likes to share
her people’s bed, but is very
considerate, and will get down
if asked. She is decent on lead,
knows basic commands (sit, down,
shake, etc.), and when begging
for treats, is quite polite. She
gives joyous greetings to her
people, spinning, play bowing,
and sometimes standing up and
leaning on the person for pets
and loving, and will dole out
occasional kisses. She needs a
fenced yard where other dogs
will not antagonize her or
create anxiety. She is good with
school-age children who know how
to behave with dogs, seemed
indifferent to cats when tested,
but has several fear-related
issues. She always has an
anxious expression.
She is
deathly afraid of storms, may
startle with sudden loud sounds,
and is anxious or fearful of
wind beyond a very light breeze.
Fireworks utterly terrify her.
Her greatest shortcoming is she
is very female dog-aggressive,
and can be fear-aggressive with
overly active male dogs or dogs
with whom she has not been
properly introduced. In her
foster home, she benefitted from
the company of several calm
males, after proper, careful,
slow introductions. She should
be in a home with only a calm
male or two, or an only dog.
Dali is up to date on all
vaccinations, HW preventive,
flea and tick protection, is
spayed and microchipped. She has
no known health conditions, and
will take her cage and bed with
her to her new home.

might be your next best friend, please

She's looking forward to meeting you!
