Tucker's heartworm treatments were successfully completed and he became available for adoption. He was found on our website by a great couple with 2 other dogs. They live in suburban Pittsburgh so they met Tucker's foster mom halfway and it was a perfect match. Tucker is now living with his mom and dad and 2 canine siblings, Kenya and Porter in West Mifflin, PA.
Have a wonderful new life, Tucker. You deserve it!

Sadie and new daddy, ChrisSadie was adopted by her new daddy today!
Chris originally filled out an application for Chase (another of the Planes, Vans & Automobiles dogs) but Chase already had a suitor. Then he found Sadie and knew she was the right fit for him.
Great day for Sadie and Chris!

Roscoe and his new mom, AmberEven though Roscoe is around 10 years old, and he has found a new home with a wonderful young couple who were not put off by Roscoe's age. In fact, they wanted a dog mellow enough to be home alone all day but with enough energy to take a walk and hang out with them. Roscoe is mellow but he is also in great shape. At mealtimes, he jumps up and down on his back legs in excitement about being fed! (There truly is nothing in life he loves more than mealtime!!!)
Becca (now Bella) and her new familyBecca, now known as Bella, was adopted today! Her new family is in love with her and just can't get enough of her. Her new "mom" is a vet tech so Bella will be able to go to work with her and won't be alone much. She will also be lovingly cared for as she fully recovers from her heartworm treatments. Bella's new poodle sister, Marge, is disabled and sort of hobbles around and picks up her crippled back legs. We heard that she is already giving them lots of kisses!]]>
Sadie and Belle took a trip to the photo studio! Not really -- the studio is right in the house where they are being fostered. Sadie is the beautiful blue girl and Belle is the very light blue girl. Both are looking for their forever homes.
Today, Sadie has started to recover from her heartworm treatments. Poor sweet Sadie. The first shot was very painful and she didn't take it well. And the next day she received another shot. At last, she is starting to feel better. But the long recovery process is still in front of her.
Heartworm is easily avoided by using monthly heartworm preventatives, which Sadie and her sister Becca obviously didn't receive in their previous home. So now she will need complete crate rest for 4 long weeks so the dying worms don't get into her bloodstream and cause problems.
Cost of treatment: $500.
Sadie is a beautiful girl who will be looking for a new family once her crate rest is over. And, no, she isn't being fostered in New Mexico! She is actually in New Jersey. But Sadie's foster mom has a collection of fun backdrops she uses when she photographs her fosters. See the next entry for more great pictures of Sadie and her sister Belle.

Chase is the next "Planes, Vans and Automobiles" dog to become available for adoption! His foster moms report that he knows all of the basic commands: sit, down and quiet.
He does well on leash and he is an avid Frisbee player, as you can see in the video below. He also enjoys fetching a ball and running around the yard to check on the goats and horses.
He is 3 years old, neutered and weighs about 50 lbs. To see more photos, read more about him and to submit an application, click here.

Roscoe has made the journey to ADOPTABLE! His infection is healed and he is ready to meet the public.
Roscoe certainly acts younger than the 10 years old he was thought to be by the shelter. He's not super active but he has no trouble jumping up in excitement at dinner time.
What he loves more than anything else is to be with his foster mom. He follows her everywhere -- but he never asks for anything more than a belly rub. He ADORES getting his belly rubbed. His other favorite activity is laying in the sunshine.
