Annie, 8-10 yr old, spayed female, Coastal NC

Annie is listed as a GSD but is definitely a Malinois!!!

Annie is a 'good old dog', who was found one morning by the staff of an animal shelter—she had been put over the fence late at night, and was close to whelping puppies. Luckily, a rescue group was found for her, and in only a few days Annie had 13 puppies! The puppies are all placed now, and this great dog 'Mom' is looking for her forever home.

Annie's now in great health and up to date on all vaccinations. Her heartworm treatment went well, and she was spayed in July. When she was rescued, she was very thin, but now weighs about 47 pounds. Annie is a fine house dog: she is perfectly housetrained; she has never had an 'accident' in the house. She is working on her basic obedience and knows 'come,' 'sit,' 'down' and 'stay,' but not perfectly. Annie's new family should be willing to work with her on her obedience skills. Learning to play with toys would also benefit Annie. She enjoys being hand-fed as a special treat, and shows no signs of food aggression. Annie very seldom barks, even when there is a knock at the door. She is wonderful on a leash and always walks on a loose lead.

Annie enjoys occasional car rides, and doing errands in dog-friendly stores. She makes friends wherever she goes! She also likes some vigorous activity every day and can RUN really fast. Rolling in the grass and my daily walks are special times for her. After exercising, she is a real couch potato, and such a happy dog that even when sleeping, there is a big grin on her face!

Annie's new family includes someone who can spend time with her during the day. She is able to stay alone in an outdoor run or indoors for several hours, but prefers not to be alone all day. She is an extremely gentle dog. Annie really enjoys older children., and gets along with all ages. Annie would be a great dog for a retired person or couple, or someone else who spends time at home. She would also do fine accompanying her owner to a dog-friendly workplace. In a previous foster home, she was kenneled for long periods of time, and now requires a larger enclosure to be comfortable. Anti-anxiety medication is appropriate for Annie in situations that make her nervous: severe thunderstorms and fireworks or gunfire. She doesn't enjoy dog parks and 'jumpy' or overly frisky younger dogs. Annie has been living in a home with cats, and only occasionally shows interest in them if they run near her. Still, it would be best if she were in a cat-free home. Annie does get along with most dogs, and prefers a small group—she currently stays at a 'bed and biscuit' kennel when her foster Mom travels and participates willingly in small group playtimes.

Annie has already had one long-term foster placement, but she was too sedate to suit the young family and their active dog. She is more energetic now that her heartworm treatment is complete, but is still a very 'laid-back' dog.

Fly, 10 yr old, spayed female, Knoxville,TN

Fly is a sweet and driven dog.

Fly is a sweet and driven dog. She's Shutzhund trained, and for the first six or seven years of her life, she was well taken care of and worked almost daily. I've been fostering her for three years while my father was out of the country, and now it seems that he'll be unable in any foreseeable future to care for her. So I'm looking for someone interested in working her and giving her a good, purpose-driven home.

She's been well behaved around the other dogs that I've introduced her to, and she's been fine around other people. I've never had her around cats, so I don't know how she would react.

Fly's not been worked in three years, but this would be a perfect dog for someone interested in learning the sport of Schutzhund. With a little reminding, she would pick back up where she left off in no time, and the beginner could learn easily the motions of the sport. She is housebroken, and she sits, lays, stays, fetches (for as long as you can launch a ball), swims, and barks on command.

This is a dog that needs a purpose. She's high-energy and eager to please. For more information on Fly, please contact: Ben or call 865-386-4466.

Terri 9 yr old spayed female - NJ

Fee: $100

Single mature Belgian lady seeks gentleman or family to share a committed long term relationship.

I love short walks, sharing secrets, serious petting. I'm loving and gentle with children, friendly with guests, but will rid your home and property of felines and maybe other small animals. I can get along with friendly dogs that respect my dignity. I destroy stuffies but respect your stuff and your home. I am bilingual in English and Dutch. I'm crate trained, but too much time in the crate makes me a bit stiff. A little walk fixes that pretty well. I lost my previous home because of a divorce, so I know how important a really loving relationship is. I'm quiet in the yard, but would much rather be with you wherever you are.
