comment:
Leo was surrendered to the shelter when his family got pregnant and didn't want him any longer. He is a sweet, velcro boy that gets along with everyone. He has been the perfect houseguest, following all of the rules. He was an only greyhound in his previous home although not the only dog. Leo does have some mild weakness/discomfort in his back that is kept under control with a low dose anti inflammatory medication. He will need to join a family where he won't need to climb steps.

Blaze came to us because her loving owner passed away. She is a gentle, loving, laid back girl. She will snuggle in the bed with you or lay on her bed whatever makes you happy. Yes, she is nearly ten years old but she is youthful, gets around fine and has no known medical issues.

Jasper is a sweet boy whose original owner is having health problems and just cant keep him. He is a little beat up from his previous life but he loves everyone especially his people and little dogs. He has shown no interest in the cats in the yard so we think he will do ok.

Stella is a very playful, high energy girl that has some issues adjusting to life as an only dog therefore is being returned to us. Stella is absolutely adorable! She is a
mixture of 'sweet, loving, cuddler' and a young dogs
'zest for life'. Stella, being just over 2 yrs old,
loves to play and run around with her little
buddies, adores kids, especially if they will play
with her. Stella loves to cuddle, watch a movie, and
will serenade you to let you know she's happy to see
you. She behaves very well, of course being a kid
you might have to remind her again later! Stella is
such a joy to have around. She is small dog
tolerant and wants to play with them, she is cat
workable but again she wants to play with them.
She's figuring out birds won't play and the rats
will bite your nose! Stella makes a fine all around
family dog.

ADOPTED - Gunny may sound tough, but she’s a real sweetie. This little girl loves affection and wags her tail constantly, but carefully! Her love of walks is second only to her love of food, and she does a little happy dance (kicking up her heels) in anticipation of her meals. Guns easily negotiates stairs, is great on a leash, roaches like a real pro, and grins when she is exceptionally happy. She is a very well behaved, calm, loving little girl who gets along well with everyone.

ADOPTED by the Robert Carpenter of Slidell. A big handsome guy who is friendly, open without being pushy, who makes a really good impression on all who meet him. He didn't pay much attention to the cat at the vet’s office, and made it known to a miniature bull dog who happened to be there that he'd like to play. He’s a confident, happy, affectionate, and eager to please guy!

Adopted - Dakota is beautifully mannered and quietly affectionate, with a gently nuzzle and demure kiss when she is enjoying your affection. She captures you with her soft brown-eyed gaze and you just can’t stop scritching her. She is very smart and inquisitive, learning commands such as “stop, left, home, wait” in less than a weekend on her walks that she loves dearly. She is a squeaky toy fan. She loves meeting people, tends to ignore kids instead of interacting, and just wows everyone she meets.

Adopted by the Fledderman/Trahan family of Baton Rouge, La. Flaca is truly delightful! She is smart, very inquisitive, and understands that communicating with you is the essence of relating with you. Her foster folks love the way she holds your gaze and you know there’s ‘somebody home’, and also know that Flaca is making a connection to you… She learns quickly, responds to correction, has good house manners, is eager to please, and she is not a shrinking violet. Her leans and kisses are heart stealing traits. She gets along nicely with her Greyhound and small dog companions, doesn't seem to pay attention to the neighborhood cats,. She is Miss Personality Plus!

ADOPTED - Amber is a beautiful girl with a sweet disposition. This little lady has a very long tail which she wags with great exuberance and does so practically non-stop. Amber loves to go for walks, but also enjoys nice, long, frequent, naps---it’s the only way her tail gets a rest. She loves the outdoors, sunning herself in the grass, wading through her baby pool, or running about in pursuit of a ball or squeaky toy. Her sit position is exquisite, and occasionally, when she’s really excited, she grins and gives little nibbling kisses.

He holds your gaze and you know he’s “somebody special”. He has excellent house manners in his foster home, gets along with the cat, is a Velcro boy for affection, minds well, learns quickly, and loves his play times.
