Story
Background: Charlie was born in Minnesota in March of 2006, he?s 12! Early on he showed signs of being anxious around kids, but was never aggressive. Charlie had an encounter at about a year ago with another dog that was visiting. After that Charlie showed extreme anxiety around new dogs and children. We took him to a behavioral trainer in Golden Valley who showed us how to use positive reinforcement when Charlie showed signs of calming down around other dogs (looking away, blinking, yawning, etc.). We have over the years worked on this. We have found that the best way to get him to be okay with a dog is to start with both dogs on leashes some distance apart. As Charlie gets more comfortable, we bring them closer. This has worked a few times to the point where they can be loose in a large enclosure together. He can be possessive of food around other dogs, but will allow a human to put their hand over his food or take things out of his mouth. We have not wanted to test Charlie around kids after he growled at a toddler playing with a ball. He seems okay with kids when they get to be around 6 or 7. He does not feel comfortable with kids who are close to his eye level. He has not ever bitten another dog or person. He has snarled and lunged, but never actually bitten. We have always been very cautious as we know this is always a possibility. He does take Clomicalm (Clomipramine) for anxiety. He has taken this since 2009 with no side effects. We place it on top of his food in the evening. Despite being anxious, he has always been a really easy dog. He?ll exercise as much or little as you are able. He likes most adults after only a short amount of time. Charlie doesn?t typically chew shoes or damage anything that isn?t one of his own things. Health: Charlie has always been reasonably healthy. He has some mild arthritis, but it?s typically not bad unless he?s been very active in hot weather. Charlie has occasionally started licking hair off his legs obsessively due to anxiety (although it has been several years since this has happened). Eating: He gets 1/2 cup of food twice a day. We have always fed him Nutro Limited Ingredient Lamp and Rice. We have avoided treats with a lot of wheat or corn to keep his bowel movements consistent. He typically has never gotten table scraps, but is a very motivated crumb retriever. Attack: Charlie was involved in an attack by another dog April 1, 2016. He was walking and another dog hopped the fence and attacked him. Charlie did not provoke the dog and likely did not know the dog was there until he was bitten. This dog was a recent rescue with a history of aggression towards small dogs. Charlie suffered several puncture wounds on his leg, side, and neck. We took meticulous care of him and he shows no signs of the incident. Personality: Charlie can be very playful and very affectionate. He likes to run around with toys if he has the space. He can walk around the block or several miles. He?s a very good walker as long as you avoid other dogs. We always use a gentle leader. He likes to jump although age has made this more challenging. He prefers to sit next to someone on the couch. Charlie has slept in a kennel at night, but prefers to sleep at the end of the bed. He is very still at night and likes to be covered in the winter. He is usually pretty quiet if he doesn?t have a reason not to be - like dog walking by the house (although he isn?t the most observant? and covering his eyes gently will work). He does not like smoke detectors beeping and will shake and crawl under the bed. He loves peanut butter and ice-cream. He will drink coffee if left where he can reach it. He likes to ride in the car but not in the front seat. Separation training: We have moved many times with Charlie. He has always done really well. He does not mark or destroy anything. Separation has required some work when the move was more significant. Charlie is used to being left home loose and not kenneled. To get him used to it, we used a progressive technique. We work through the stages of leaving the house one stage at a time progressively adding stages. First we?d put shoes on and then take them off and sit down. Then shoes and coat. Then shoes, coat, and open the door. Next shoes, coat, and open the door and stand outside the door for a moment. We?d basically get farther and farther through the process and stay outside longer each time. He got used to this within a few days. Our last move he did not need this. End of life: Since we first adopted him, we were committed to ensuring he had the best life possible. Charlie needs a new home where his quality of life can be maintained and respected until the end. His adoption fee is $300.

Story
Cheeto's story is truly sad. He originally came to the shelter in Sept., 2012, when he was about 5 months old and has been adopted and returned 4 times. The first time was right after his arrival at the shelter and the people decided that he was too much for their older dog. The 2nd time, he was adopted into a home with 4 kids and it gradually became apparent that Cheeto was not a good fit for a home with young kids so he was returned again. He was then posted as needing a home without kids, was adopted, and stayed in that home for almost 5 years. Life happens, though, and Cheeto's people had a child. They did a lot to prepare Cheeto for the big change, including professional training. Unfortunately, Cheeto could just not adjust to having a child in the house all the time so his people made the painful decision to return him when their child was 9 months old. He was adopted again and returned recently, after almost a month. You see, Cheeto is not an easy dog. He can be very territorial and overprotective. He likes to be in control of his environment and can be very reactive to strangers, other dogs, etc. He would do well in an experienced home with one or two adults that doesn't have a lot of foot traffic. On the plus side, he is extremely loyal and loving to his people, bonding very quickly. We are giving this a shot in the hope that we can find that perfect fit. We don't want to give up on this dog. Cheeto does need an ADULT only home with experienced owners. He is not a dog for a first time owner. He is highly intelligent, very well trained, active, and a lot of fun. He is fully vetted, chipped, and his fee is $125.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
