HAPPY TAILS: Lokai Adopted!

alt ADOPTED! Lokai Meet our newest rescue! We are naming him Lokai, after a character in an episode of the original Star Trek series. He is very gentle and sweet, but very shy. We can see he wants to bond with someone, but is very cautious and afraid. Stay tuned for more about this gentle creature...

HAPPY TAILS: Wiley Adopted!

alt

Wiley (ADOPTED) is a lovable young dog, about 18 months old, who was found caught in a coyote trap, hence his name (he is also known as Smiley Wiley). In the short time we have had Wylie in foster care he has endeared himself to all. With his easy temperament and playfulness, he gets along with other dogs and cats, as well as children. Wylie looks like a cattle dog except for his slightly larger size. We have decided that he may be mixed with some husky and/or Akita, although we have no idea for sure. He has lovely plush fur that is like a teddy bear.

HAPPY TAILS: Sweet Mia Has A Forever Home

alt

ADOPTED! Mia is a very sweet, gentle girl, who is very easy going. She weighs 39 lbs. and we believe she is about 2 years old. She loves people and is a wonderful companion. She is NOT your typical intense, focused, herding obsessed border collie. Mia is not high energy, but prefers to hang out, snuggle, and crawl into your lap. She seeks out human attention and affection. She is very polite, patient, and extremely quiet. She is very friendly and playful with other dogs. Click here to see her in action with her foster family dog Honey.

HAPPY TAILS: The Girls Get Adopted!

alt

ADOPTED! Violet This cute little couple came to HITTGV in April. They were found together and their special bond makes us believe that they are mother and daughter. Penny (red, of course!) is thought to be mom. Both are happy, playful, and full of love for people.

ADOPTED! Penny: Penny is about 2 years old and weighs 30 lbs. She is a very happy and loving girl, very submissive, and at first she is very shy. Once she realizes she is safe, she will come out of her shell and become very playful. Penny has a lot of personality and is extremely smart. She craves human companionship and affection. All she wants to do is crawl into someone's lap, gaze into their eyes, and give kisses. She will beg for attention by rolling on the ground in front of you, to submissively ask for petting and your approval.

HAPPY TAILS: Sunny Has A Forever Home!

alt ADOPTED! Sunny was rescued from the same shelter as our Jackson. We cannot believe this dog was found as a stray and never claimed. He is a handsome, wonderful little guy, and a typical busy cattle dog. We have had Sunny for only a few days, but can say he is very good with other dogs and people. He is happy, energetic, playful, likes toys and to retrieve sticks. In short, Sunny is a great dog, and still very much a puppy in personality. He walks fairly well on leash. Sunny has the classic cattle dog trait of wanting to bond very closely with someone and velcro himself to that person. Except for the fact that Sunny has his gorgeous tail and Jackson has none at all, we would have thought the two were litter mates! Sunny is also about 10 months, with a personality and temperament very similar to Jackson's. We put the two together and they had an instant bond, playing and interacting as if they were brothers. We will add information as we learn more about him from his foster.
