DOGS NEEDING FOSTER HOMES

AllyFemale Catahoula Hound
I'm not going for a college degree but I really need an education. Obedience classes will teach me the proper way for a young lady like me to behave. I like people and dogs. Haven't known any cats so I'm not sure about them. But I am sure that there's a home waiting for me somewhere. Could it be yours?

Weight Watchers, here I come! But if you'll adopt me and put me on the right diet, maybe that won't be necessary. My owners took me to a shelter just before Christmas (how's that for "Christmas spirit"?) but a nice lady got me out just before the worst was about to happen. I love people of all ages, I ride quietly in a car, and I'm clean in my crate. Don't you think that's a good start for a family pet?

No doubt you know that my breed faces more than its share of discrimination; some buildings won't even allow us as tenants. I'll admit that I can be dog aggressive but I like humans and since pit bulls are a loyal breed, I'm looking for an individual who will appreciate that. Will you?

Sometimes life doesn't turn out as expected. I had a good home when I was adopted from the SPCA but now my family has to give me up. I need a quiet environment, preferably with one person. I'm a pretty big guy, so a home with a fenced yard to romp in (with supervision) would be nice, although not essential.

I was adopted from the SPCA a little over a year ago, but my people had to return me because of disagreements I was having with children in the family. I guess I need a home with adults. But I'm friendly, and a good dog. Please give me a chance to prove it.

A family tragedy has put me in the position of needing a new home. I should go to a person/family who has a yard with a high fence where we can play. I'm a good dog who will let you know when Nature calls so you can take me out to answer. We can talk about all this when you come to meet me. I'm waiting for you. I'm a well behaved adult who likes people and other dogs. Can you be my new family?

Yuk! Cat food is okay when it's all a dog can scrounge up when she's lost, cold and hungry, but I'm sure glad I entered the trap the SPCA set for me. Better food now, and I'm warm again. I'm a lady of a "certain age," but even in dog years, not old. And I'm sweet natured, if a bit shy at first. I prefer to call it modesty. Please come to visit me and you can judge for yourself.

I was adopted from the SPCA but returned because my adopter didn't have time to give me the exercise a big guy like me requires. If you can provide it, please come to meet me.

I was adopted from SPCA/NOVA a couple of years ago by a family that loved me very much. Their situation has changed, though, and they have had to return me. I'm a real "people" dog who loves to be petted and cuddled. I need a fenced yard, and if there are kids, they can play Frisbee there with me. (So can grown-ups.) If you must be at work all day, I'll need a walker. Maybe one who will take me to a dog park. I love dog parks!
