NANU

I'M ON TRIAL!!

1.5 yr old, spayed female, Lab cross. Nanu came from our local Animal Shelter as a stray.  She was very "head shy" and has gotten much better.  Nanu knows basic commands and is very good in the house and with other dogs.  She is a little shy at first but quickly warms up and is a very loving and devoted dog to a patient and kind family. We suspect some bad things had happened to Nanu but she is recovering nicely and response very well to positive training. Lovely Lab!

ARIES

Aries is a big, easy going Lab.  He is 2 1/2years old and is already neutered.  On his vet exam we discovered he had severe hip dysplasia and 1 1/2 weeks ago, GRRF paid for his bilateral hip surgery.  He is doing very well and is an amazing dog.  He is already walking and is very happy.  He will be pain free for the rest of his life. Aries gets along with other dogs and children.

Ginger - 4.5 yr, spayed female Golden/Aussie cross.  Great with children, cats and other dogs.  This is a great dog.  She adores kids and is extremely patient.  In fostercare she follows the young son everywhere and just wants to be some child's buddy.

She needs to go to a family with another dog.  On trial as an only dog she displays anxiety about being alone. In fostercare she just stays loose with one or two other dogs and she is calm and perfect.  Ginger is a very social and loving dog.  The right home is out there and will be greatly rewarded with pure devotion and dedication by this love of dog!
