Sharky passed his evaluation period with flying colors; he has been neutered and is ready for a new foster/adoptive home! Sharky is an extremely lovable young man! He’s about 18 months old and weighs 50 pounds. Sharky has won the heart of everyone who’s met him, and would love nothing more than to play and have his belly rubbed all day long. He’s house trained and knows basic commands such as Sit, Down, Stay and Leave It (he’s working on Shake). Sharky is a genius among dogs and picks up new commands and everyday life skills incredibly quickly! He is leashed trained, but does have a tendency to get excited when you first head out. He has taken to crate training wonderfully.  His foster mom bought him a cozy bed, but she’s pretty sure he thought it was one of his toys because he carried it around the house playing with it. He’s a very playful man who loves toys, especially tennis balls, and will run and play fetch with you for hours. Sharky has been amazing with other dogs of all shapes and sizes, just thinks everyone is his new best friend. He does have a jealous street so he doesn’t want to share his person with anyone else.  This energetic young man is not only extremely handsome (he always looks like he’s smiling!) he’s also very smart and extra snuggly. Before you know it, he’ll be in your lap asking for a belly rub stealing your heart! Thank you so much for helping with a transitional foster spot, Maura and Lisa!

Hayden is a BTRI alumnus who needs a new home as his family has to downsize; and they’ll be traveling extensively in the next few months. This 9yo guy is super potty trained and crate trained. He doesn’t mind being alone at home and is not destructive at all. He loves his chewy and his toys. He sleeps all day like a cat and at 5pm after he eats dinner, he will call attention for a walk or play time (he’ll do a soft bark at around 7pm to go out for a potty then sleeps the rest of the night – – he is extremely on schedule). He does not require a lot of activity but he does get frisky after he poops or eats dinner and would like to play. He likes walks but not far, like a mile or two to explore. Hayden needs to be the only pet as he is reactive to other dogs; and he is not a fan of the kitties. He is not overtly aggressive with other dogs but he will stare them down. This charming, super people-oriented guy is very worth his management around other dogs. Does anyone have room for this very good and loyal guy?

Peace is a delightful little 38lb girl who is about 4 years old.  She’s a laidback lovebug who would love to be someone’s little companion.  Peace has dry eye and seems to have some scarring on the cornea so there might be some visual impairment.  She is great with dogs of all sizes,  didn’t mind the kitties in the shelter cat room and in her foster home but she is not a fan of our feathered friends.  She is house and crate trained but will need a refresher in leash manners.

The most common treatment for dry eye is cyclosporine (Optimmune) which runs about $35 monthly if your vet will write an prescription for it to be bought online.  More information about dry eye can be found here:  http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_kcs__dry_eye_.html
