Name: Chanel
Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Cross
Age: Adult
Gender: Female
Description: My name is Chanel and I love family life! I was rescued from an impound facility and let me tell you, I am counting the days until I finally have my forever home! I'm completely housebroken and my foster family crates me while they are at work so I don't get into any trouble. I would love to find a home with another dog and possibly a couple of children because I love both and would have so much fun being part of a busy household! I do best with kids over eight years old because I'm young and can sometimes forget my good manners and jump. I am very smart and I learn fast so training me should be a lot of fun! I am a beautiful, sweet, family friendly dog - won't you come meet me? To learn more about me, go to www.petfinder.com/petnote/ displaypet.cgi?petid=15282200 and/or email dogluver@charter.net.

Name: Charlie
Breed: Chocolate Lab
Age: Senior
Gender: Male
Description: I have a 10 year old chocolate lab who is experiencing cognitive impairment when left alone, even in a crate. He is a lovely, affectionate and still energetic pet who shows major signs of separation anxiety only when left alone. He needs to be in a home that has a very secure kennel that he cannot get out of - a store bought one will not contain him. Other than that, he is easy to have around, loves people, is good with children and walks well on a leash. I do not have the facility to keep in such a secure environment. Please help me find him a good home. I live in the Hayward WI area part time and in Minneapolis as well. Email dietldanny@hotmail.com with questions. This is not a Homeward Bound dog, just a courtesy post.

Name: Jack
Breed: Boston Terrier / Jack Russell Terrier Cross
Age: Young Adult
Gender: Male
Description: Jack is a young, playful, funny guy looking for a stable home of his very own. Jackson was surrendered to his current caretaker when his owners could not afford heartworm treatment. Heart worm is completely preventable with an inexpensive, once monthly pill that every dog owner should give their pup. Unfortunately, Jackson's owners did not take this precaution and as a result he required a much more expensive treatment when he became infected with heart worm. When his owner could not afford this treatment, they surrendered Jackson to a vet clinic staff member. This staff member has been caring for Jackson ever since. Jack does have elevated liver enzymes. While he does not have any symptoms and feels great, he may need a special diet and future vet care. Jackson has been vaccinated, dewormed, treated for heartworm, and neutered. Jackson is presently in a home with other dogs and cats and gets along with all people. He would be great in a family with kids who could play with and entertain him. Jackson is both house trained and crate-trained. If you think you are the right home for this comedic fellow, call GERI at 608-654-5641.

Name: Jackson
Breed: Basset Hound
Age: Adult
Gender: Male
Description: Jackson is a 3-4 year old purebred Basset Hound. He is good with other dogs but likes to be the boss with them, so would do best in a home with submissive dogs or as the only dog in the house. He is good with cats. He has been good with the kids at his foster home. He totally adores kids and will follow them all around, just waiting for them to play with him. He loves to go for walks and expecally likes car rides. He is an excellent family companion. To learn more about him, go to www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet. cgi?petid=13589462 and/or email dogluver@charter.net.

Name: Maverick
Breed: Rat Terrier
Age: Adult
Gender: Male
Description: Maverick is an energetic 16 lb. charmer who loves to play with people and other smaller sized animals. Maverick was surrendered to Homeward Bound because he is having a hard time with the toddler in his foster home who is rowdy with him, and his owners know that he would be so much happier in a home without small kids. Maverick is seeking a calm, dog savvy home who has experience with sensitive dogs. You see, Maverick responds to the feelings of others (people he knows) around him - if they are nervous, he is nervous and if they are relaxed, he is relaxed (and will happily sit on your lap for hours!). Maverick does get anxious when strangers come to the house, so would be happiest in a home that doesn't receive a lot of visitors. He can be quite the cuddler and loves to sleep with his people at night. He views his kennel as his 'safe spot,' and often chooses to sleep there on a soft blanket when he wants to relax. He is good with other dogs, but prefers those who are around his side and don't bark a lot (that makes him nervous if they are barky and hyperactive). He barks appropriately (such as if someone comes to the door or gets really excited about something). He enjoys going on daily walks, does well in the car, and has gone boating before (though is not a big swimmer). He is 4.5 years old and is housetrained. Maverick does have allergies, but they only last for about a month in fall, esp. if you live near weeds). If you have questions, please email canddhaider@hotmail.com. This dog has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and tested for heartworm and lyme disease.

Name: Sundae (aka CeCe)
Breed: Rat Terrier
Age: Mature Adult
Gender: Female
Description: Sundae is a very energetic 12 lb., extremely intelligent, fun loving dog. She loves to play ball and in typical Terrier fashion, she takes charge in any situation and loves to be the center of attention. She would love to play with older children (8+) who are patient, respectful and gentle (she's had some bad experiences with a toddler). She can be bossy with other animals (a small breed trait and a Terrier trait), so if she goes to a home with other pets, they need to be laid back and OK with her being boss. She is very affectionate and has a funny rumbling sound when she's being pet! She will bark when people come to the door, walk by the house,or when she's not sure what's going on. Sundae loves to snuggle in blankets, so likes her bed and kennel to be supplied with comfy, soft blankets she can sleep on. She gives the best greeting when you come home which makes you feel like a million bucks! She enjoys going on daily walks, car rides, and is used to going on boat rides (though doesn't have much experience in the water). She is housetrained. If you have questions, please email canddhaider@hotmail.com. This dog has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and tested for heartworm and lyme disease.
