PATIENCE
Patience is a recent mother, whether to any of the 7 puppies we have, we are not completely
sure, although our vet thinks not. She is probably about a year old and weighs around 20
pounds. She is sweet and a little bit shy, at least when confronted with a camera and flash.
She has a beautiful face and lovely, long hair, and is probably a Sheltie mix. She came to
SARG from the animal shelter.

PRUDENCE
This sweet girl hasn't quite lived up to her name; as the mother of 7 puppies, perhaps she
hasn't been exactly prudent! However, she is very sweet and a wonderful little mama. She
is a feist, probably only about a year old herself, and weighs about 20 pounds. She and
her puppies came to us from the animal shelter.

PEANUTS PUPS
These puppies were born around April 22, 2009. They and their mother, along with another
mother, came to us from the animal shelter. The four females' names are Patty, Marcie, Sally, and
Violet; the males are Franklin, Linus, and Schroeder.

RILEY
Riley is a truly sweet dog who deserves a loving, forever home. He's a very large boy and
is about 1½ years old (probably finished growing, but still very playful!). We are
not certain of his breed combination, but his creamy color is striking. He loves chew
toys, watching TV, swimming at the lake (he jumps off the dock on his own), riding
in the boat and in the truck. He gets along great with children and other dogs,
but seems to have an unhealthy interest in cats. He is too large and active for a
home with small children. He can sit, is housetrained, is very smart, and learns
quickly. He likes to be near people and wants to be indoors as a loved family
member, but he also really needs a large, fenced yard to run in.

LUCY
Lucy is a smooth-coated Jack Russell terrier, about 1 or 2 years old. She was found as a stray
last fall with two other dogs. Lucy has none of the Jack Russell "attitude," is very calm,
quiet, and sweet and has no problems with other dogs. She loves
to snuggle and is totally adorable. She is heartworm-negative and has no apparent health problems.

GRACIE
Gracie is a Jack Russell mix female, about a year old as of late May. She has only a tiny stub
of a tail, which we assume was docked. She is calm and quiet but playful, loves to snuggle and
be petted. She is fine with other dogs. She came to us as a puppy last November, but she has
grown into a long-legged beauty. The skin problems she had initially have responded to medication,
and she looks great.

LITTLE JOHN
Little John is an enthusiastic people-lover who loves to go on adventures. Little John looks to
be a flat-coated retriever and basset hound mix. He's about 45 pounds and between 1 and 2 years
old. He's great with children. He gets along with some dogs, but is much more interested in
people. He's not a big fan of cats. He loves attention from his people and adores car rides
and long walks. He would be great as a hiking partner. Little John has a lot of puppy energy
and zest for life, so he would benefit from training classes. Little John is full of personality,
and if you are interested we have a series of emails from his foster mom about his daily adventures
that we can share with you.

SPENCER
Spencer is about 1½ years old and weighs about 25 - 30 pounds. He has a good
temperament, is well-behaved, and gets along well with other dogs. He has a docked tail,
but he wags the little stub at every opportunity. We don't know his breed mix, but he
has some resemblance to a border collie or Appenzeller mountain dog.

JACK
Jack is a lively, lovable, 2-year-old mix, possibly Jack Russell terrier,
possibly Chihuahua, weighing about 27 pounds (a bit overweight, but he's on a
diet). He lives with 3 other dogs (all much larger than he), but he plays
with them and holds his own. He wants constant attention and affection,
which would make him a wonderful dog for a person who has time to give him both.
However, he would also be happy with a family that would just love him. He is
very good with children and adults. He shares a bed with his foster mom and
loves to cuddle; the only time he growls is when you try to move him over,
but he has never snapped. Jack would make any individual/family a wonderful
pet and companion.

ARNIE
Arnie is a 6-year-old, purebred male chocolate Lab. He is an extremely friendly dog. His family
is moving out of the country and cannot take Arnie along. The family has 3 children, and there
has never been an issue with them. Arnie loves kids, and is not at all food-aggressive. The family
also has two cats; Arnie loves the younger one and displays proper respect (and is afraid of)
the older one. His dad is a hunting champion near Nashville, although Arnie has not been
taught to retrieve. He is about 65 pounds, very lean for a Lab. There are no health issues,
and he is up-to-date on his shots and annual checkup and is microchipped. He is no longer hyper,
but he does attempt to "kiss" guests when they walk in the door!

BUSTER "BROWN"
Buster "Brown" is a friendly little guy, light brown and short-haired, about 2 years old.
Buster is an adorable combination of beagle and pug--a "puggle." He is wonderful with children and
other dogs, and is intrigued by cats. He is very smart, and has learned to sit and give his paw. He
is now working on the command "Down." Buster still has some puppy behavior--he likes to chew, but
will "drop it" when commanded. He is crate-trained and almost completely housebroken. He will make
a loyal and fun companion, for someone willing to give him a "forever" home.

TRACY
Tracy is a Corgi mix female, about 2 years old, who was turned in to the shelter by
her owner. She is a very affectionate dog, and very playful but she is a bit "mouthy",
which we are working on with her. For that reason, we don't think she would do well with
small children.

NEELA
Neela is a female German shepherd mix, around 2 years old, weighing 66 lbs. She's full
of energy and loves to be in the middle of everything going on around her. She's
crate-trained and knows her basic obedience commands for sit, down, focus, leave it and
stay. She's food motivated and learns very quickly. She can climb/jump a 4-foot fence, so
she will need either a 6-foot wooden privacy fence or daily leashed walks/runs. She also
loves playing fetch with her favorite squeeky toy, and getting belly rubs. Her high energy
level would be best suited for a home with older or no children. She has a high prey
drive and does not do well with other dogs or animals.

LEXUS
Lexus is a 3½-year-old Black Lab mix. She had some birth defects that
required orthopedic surgery on her rear legs, but Lexus is now sporting healthy legs and
is longing for a permanent home.
Lexus is currently in a foster home with another SARG foster dog, plus the
homeowner’s dog (a former SARG dog). She has a wonderful disposition and
wants/gives lots of love.
She is crate trained in that she feels comfortable to sleep in her crate and
goes to it for meals in the a.m. and p.m. to be fed, as well as bed time.
Lexus is housetrained; when the other dogs go outside during the night, she will
go out and come right back inside and go back in her crate. She is on a
special diet to control crystals in her urine; because this food is rather
expensive, prospective adopters must consider this when applying for Lexus.
Lexus likes to play with toys and other dogs. She loves to have a kiddie pool to
"dunk" herself in and would
probably love to be near a body of water, but she has not been exposed to a
pool or lake.
Lexus would make a wonderful pet for any family. Although she is a big dog,
she is very gentle and loving; and is good with children and loves tummy
rubs by anyone.
Lexus would require a fenced yard; she loves to sun herself most of the day
in the yard, but also loves to have the freedom to enter the house when
desired; however, visits inside are infrequent -- her choosing!
Lexus would make any family a wonderful pet; she is sweet, kind, gentle and
loving.

MAIZY
Maizy is an energetic, sweet, and loving little dog. She is between 1 and 2 years old, so she
has plenty of puppy energy, but when she's tired she loves to be cuddled in your lap. She is
about 20-25 pounds. She looks to be a "puggle" (pug/beagle mix) and has the beagle
tendency to be curious about her environment and wander and explore. Because of this, and
the fact that she is quite the climber, she will need a yard with a privacy fence or to be
walked on leash. She seems to do very well with other dogs as well as cats and children.
Maizy would love a home where she could get plenty of exercise and affection.
Maizy has an adorable underbite and almost always looks like she's smiling.

RINGO
Ringo weighs approximately 25 pounds, is very active and loves to run. He has a very trim,
athletic body. He is probably 1 - 2 years old, friendly, and fine with other dogs. He is
now in a foster home with a large dog and a cat and getting along fine. He is learning not
to chase the cat and is beginning to ignore her. Ringo is super fun and playful, but he
also lets you hold him like a baby and will fall asleep in your arms. He loves to play
with other dogs and would like to have a fenced yard and a large, playful companion dog.
His foster mom describes him as "a major snuggler," and very well housetrained.
