Story

Welcome Roo. He is a 15 or 16-month-old Kelpie/Shepherd mix dog. He is about 70 or 75 pounds. He is a big and energetic dog. He is great with other dogs and gets along well with all personalities. He loves all people as everyone is a potential playmate. He wants to play, run, walk and hike and would be an excellent companion for an active family. He is smart and ready to take direction and allow you to show him the ropes. He is motivated to please and will make a great running, jogging or hiking companion. He would also be fine as a family dog. Due to his energy and excitement, we think kiddos 10 or older would be his best fit. He could be to exuberant for the little tikes. He is currently in Texas and is healthy and ready for his new forever home. He was pulled off the euthanasia list in one of the local Texas pounds by Mandy and her family. He has been in foster care with other dogs and teenagers waiting for his forever family to find him. He would do great in a fenced yard to have area he can run and play. He can be adopted locally in Texas or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to have him delivered to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 200 and transport is 185. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to maudreyh@aol.com for an application. See his cute video!!

Story

Well hello! My name is Jennifer. I am from Arkansas. I am a super friendly girl - I love my people and a few other dogs I've met. Like my sister, Josie, I love to snuggle and sit on your lap, but I'm also learning about these toy things. They're really fun to play with! Tug is my favorite. Mom tries to get me to share and stop taking my sisters' toys, so I'll work on that. I am still getting acclimated to my foster home and love to explore out in the yard. The snow is so fun and I get to eat it too. I have two human brothers (9 & 12) and they're great - I love to use my loud voice and bark at them when I see them. I have some work to do with basic commands and walking on a leash, but mom is working hard to teach me new things...and I get treats! From the Foster Mom: Jennifer is such a playful and friendly little girl. We just adore her and her sweetness! She sure does love her toys and loves to steal them from her sister and resident dog, however, she's never been territorial over them. She seems pretty comfortable with her kennel, but am continuing to work on that. She can go all night without an accident as well. Jennifer loves her humans so much, she likes to jump up and greet them, so will need to work on that with her. We do not have any cats, so I can't say how she'd do with cats.

Story

Hi! My name is Wobbles and I am from Kentucky. From her foster: Wobbles is a sweet, easy going, blue heeler gal - with all the love and affection in the world! She is SO friendly and just wants to be by her humans. She is quick to warm up to you, as long as you give lots of scratches and pets. :) She has gotten along well with all of my resident dogs (all sizes from chihuahua to husky) and has not shown any reactive behaviors while playing. She does show a little bit of guarding with bones and treats (so far not her meals though); she communicates well with giving a little warning growl towards other dogs to say, "hey, this is mine!". She is house trained, crate trained, walks on a leash, and seems to travel well in the car. She is not very vocal yet, and has only let out a few barks when letting me know there's a person walking by a couple of times - seems to do well with the city sounds. She still has that ACD energy and loves to play with my resident ACD mix. She's just as happy to lay next to me quietly while I work. She is truly happy to go anywhere we go, with lots of enthusiasm and curiosity. She has been such a joy to have around! Wobbles gets her name from her back left leg. The intake staff told me it does not appear to cause any pain or discomfort at this point. It doesn't seem to slow her down much. She has some limited mobility that should be taken into consideration (i.e. home with a ton of stairs may not be ideal, but some stairs are okay!) I will be taking her into TBB Vet 4/19 to find out if any other vetting is needed. She may need to lose a few lbs to get to a healthy weight, however TBD until the vet appointment. She has not been tested with cats or humans; based on the breed, there may be some "sharky" heeler tendencies with children or other animals. From the Vet: Hi! I'm Wobbles and the vet wanted to provide an update after my exam. Based on my exam and x-rays my left hip is normal but I have some hyperextension of the hind limb which could have been caused by a few different things ie. congenital abnormality, previous infection or injury so exact cause is hard to determine. My future family may need to be prepared to pay special attention to my leg and make sure I am continuing to not have any issues with pain etc. Any surgical intervention is not recommended at this time.

Story

A portion of Moana's s adoption fee has been sponsored by her friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $400.00 will be applied during the contract process Hi! My name is Moana and I am an owner surrender. This beautiful, special needs little girl would love to be your new lap buddy. She's typically a mellow girl but she can sometimes have a feisty side, too-She wants to be near her people and whatever activities are happening! She is very social and absolutely loves people! She loves to snuggle (her very favoritest thing!), loves to play and gets sooooo excited when you talk to her, pet her, or get down on the floor to play with her- whether she's in her wheelchair, playing in her harness attached to a converted Johnny jump up or in your lap while playing with other dogs or kids. She'll need flat, safe surfaces when she's in her wheelchair. She has been exposed to cats once when visiting a friends' house and was curious but non reactive. She will bark if startled or sometimes when she hears another dog bark but settles pretty quickly. My neighborhood has lots of dogs with lots of barking but she's usually non reactive to it. She is potty trained on a schedule and will alert you by getting super active and may whine when she has to go out potty at other times. She sleeps through the night without accidents. She will still have occasional accidents, if she gets super excited (and I'm missing her cues) and sometimes when left alone for extended periods while you're out. I have a safe pen area for her to be in for when I need to go out. Because of her CH, she cannot get up off the floor or sustain walking on her own without assistance. She uses a vest harness with long handles that you use to help her "walk around and go potty. I converted a Johnny jump up and attach her harness to that for playtime on a mat. She has her own wheelchair to get around some. If laying down on the floor, she will "scoot around using her legs to get to where she wants to be (which is wherever you are). She loves to go on walks in her doggy stroller! She enjoys car rides and is often my copilot when I run errands. She is water averse so I feed her 3 times a day with soaked kibble in water or broth along with some wet food mixed in to make sure she gets adequate hydration. She'll drink the flavorful fluids in her bowl to get to the food. I hold her upright in my arms to feed her, then snuggle her after meals. Because she loves her people (and is dependent on them) she does have separation anxiety which is managed nicely with medications. This special little girl needs someone who is home a majority of the time and wants a sweet little snuggle buddy. From the vet team: Hello! I arrived at The Bond Between (fka Secondhand Hounds) as part of the Fighter Fund program due to my Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) diagnosis. CH is a condition resulting from inadequate development of the cerebellum which causes lack of balance/coordination, ambulation, head bobbing, tremors, etc. The vet team has provided my foster with physical therapy exercises to help me gain strength but I will always have this condition. I have a wheelchair and a harness to help with movement but it is also recommended that my future adopter lay down rubber mats to help with my movement. My future adopter should understand my condition and monitor my health with a primary veterinarian. Also, I have an upcoming surgery with an ophthalmologist due to ablation of eyelashes which will freeze and kill the hair follicles to help prevent regrowth of these abnormal hairs. This surgery and eye recheck appointment will be covered by The Bond Between as long as it is performed at the Animal Eye Specialty Center or at The Bond Between Vet Center.
