Story
[This is a courtesy posting. This is not a CHEW Dog Rescue dog and we have not met her. Please see below for contact information] This is Melody, a sweet little terrier/lab mix girl who loves her people and is happiest by your side! Melody is around 5-6 years young, spayed, 45 lbs and up to date on vetting. This little gal is very intelligent, sensitive, curious, loving and has huge potential! We've learned a lot about our little fetching machine over the past few weeks and she is a delight! She will entertain herself with toys while you work or go about your day. Being a terrier she does have a strong prey drive and thus is not suitable with other pets in the house or yard at this time. She is good on leash walking, hiking and if you are a runner you’ve found your match! This girl LOVES to run thus a country or rural home with a fenced yard is best suited for her. She is making great progress with confidence building exercises and is currently being fostered with one of our directors learning what pack life is all about. The best home for this girl is with someone who is retired or works from home as she is a social butterfly and happiest snuggled close to you. In return you’ll be showered with affection and kisses! Do you have room in your heart and home for our sweetheart? We are happy to share more! email aVoice4paws@gmail.com!

Story
Filly was born 11/12/2012 and was sold to us 03/08/2013. We purchased her from the Clearbrook Kennels in Sumas Wa. Her side kick is our long-haired Dachsund and they get along very well. Filly is the alpha dog and "everything is all about her". She is very protective of me and follows me everywhere. She loves to be on my lap and is very affectionate with me. She is full of energy and loves any opportunity to run freely. She is house trained and sleeps in a crate at night. She travels well in a car and our motorhome. She doesn't chew on the furniture or get into mischief when left alone at home. Filly does have some behavior traits that are making it necessary to find a new home for her. Like a lot of dogs she will bark at the sound coming from the other side of the fence. She has a high pitched bark that triggers our neighbor's PTSD. She is also so protective of me that she gets jealous when anyone comes near me. She barks at whoever comes to the house and has nipped at strangers.

We were told Penny is a German Shepherd/Beagle mix. She is full of energy and always ready to play. She loves being outside no matter what's going on. She loves going for walks and playing with other dogs. She is crate trained and house trained, but we do not leave her out at night. She is a great dog. We do not have time to give her the attention she needs.
