Invasion of the house Fly

Meet Fly! She's one of eight littermates that came into the adoption program at the same time. Like her littermates, she just didn't make the cut so she never raced. Unlike her littermates, Fly is a little bit reserved but this makes her look for the approval of people more than her sweet dopey brothers and sisters. Fly would prefer a quiet home where she can gain confidence without feeling overwhelmed. Cat and small dogs are fine with Fly, the more the merrier!

It's all about Shelly!

This week we're featuring Shelly! At six years old she's got a lot of spunk left but mostly she would like someone to cuddle up with on the couch. Shelly would probably be fine as an only dog but would also do well in a multi-dog household so long as there aren't small dogs, they're just too tasty looking and she wouldn't want to spoil her diet. Hold the kitties too, Shelly would prefer other large dogs for companions.

When we took her out to romp and play and ham it up for the camera Shelly was more interested in doing her impression of velcro, she was always stuck to someone's side. Thinking she might play a big our friendly stuffed reindeer volunteered to try to get Shelly's interest and he did, briefly. He flew through the air and Shelly chased him but when he landed and made not further bid for freedom all interested evaporated and Shelly globbed herself back on to someone's side. On well, she's a lover and we like that about her :)
