Story
We did our job and now it is time for us to let someone else know the love and joy of this beautiful boy. You may remember Blu when he came into us skinny and virtually dying from lack of nourishment. It only took 3 months which was much quicker than we were anticipating but he is now ready for his forever home. After coming to us he was hospitalized for a few days and with slow, food offered frequently and the right amount of love and comfort from our staff - Blu has progressed into one of the most loving and amazing dogs you would ever want to meet. His coat is starting to get back some luster and that beautiful Silver coat is starting to shine. You can't see the protruding bones in his head, hips and ribs any longer. We have gotten him weaned down to two meals a day (with lots of treats in between). He still doesn't like the cold. He gets along with other dogs - he is only 1 1/2 years old. We were told he is a Mastiff mix but we believe there may be some Staffordshire Terrier in that body of his. We want to send him out on a foster to adopt to make sure that it is the right fit for him and that he doesn't slide backwards with the movement to a new location. We had a lot of people interested in him when he first came in - we are now accepting applications - so go to our website at www.patriotsforpets.com and complete an adoption application if you have the love necessary for this beautiful baby who deserves an awesome life. ##529095##

Story
Frannie is a two year old lab mix who came in with a litter of puppies that she was done nursing.  She has been pulled from the puppies and is starting to get all of her own vet work completed.  She is a sweet girl who is scared here at the shelter with all of the noise. She is housebroken, loves to be petted and we believe once her hormones go back into check that she will get along fine with other dogs.  She is not a fan of being kenneled. She is a sweet girl and will be looking for her very own home. If you are interested in this sweet girl her adoption fee will be $225.00  You would need to submit an adoption application at www.patriotsforpets.com and then come and spend some time with her. ##580951##

Story
Mr. Simon was originally adopted from us and was returned as the adopter has gotten a seeing eye dog and the two of them weren't getting along.  He was part of a litter of Great Dane/Lab mix puppies.  The updates we have gotten from the other pups indicate that most of them got the Great Dane size - he really did not.  He is closer to the size of a lab.  He is very sweet and affectionate.  He is almost a year old.  He is neutered and now up to date on all of his shots.  There were older kids in the house and he did great with them.  He has lots of energy - which is pretty normal for an 11 month old dog.  He is housebroken.  Has not lived with cats.  He is looking for a new family to call his own.  His adoption fee will be $225.00.  If interested in Simon please go to our website at www.patriotsforpets.com and complete an adoption application and once approved come and meet him. ##599437##

Story
This beautiful young gal is Hope. She is listed as a "mixed breed" dog so any breed posting would be a "guess" on our part. She is so very sweet and absolutely loves everyone she has met. She is 3 years old. Unfortunately she is heartworm positive and we are getting her ready to treat it. It will be about 3 weeks before she can begin looking for her forever home but she would love to have a foster home to chill out in during her treatment. Once she is all done with her treatment her adoption fee will be $225.00. She is spayed, current on shots and micro-chipped. She is housebroken and is great with kids. She is good with other dogs - no cat information. If interested in adopting this beauty when she is ready please go to our website at www.patriotsforpets.com and complete an application. If you are interested in fostering her you will find the foster application also on our website. ##622387##
