Brody: is a sweet four month old male St. Bernard who needs to find a new home because his family moved to AZ and couldn't take him with them. Brody gets along with other dogs and is a good boy who knows some basic commands. 9/1/2010

Big Bo: Meet Big Bo. This handsome guy just had his 5th birthday (12/14) and is looking for a forever home.  He would love a family that can appreciate a good cuddler and that will give him all the love he gives in return. Bo is neutered, up to date on shots, and started on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. He is also crate trained and trustworthy in the house when left alone. He is fine with some cats, but needs to be the only dog in the home. He has some minor food issues, but we are working on that. He will need an owner that will give him good leadership so he can continue to be the good boy we know that he is. 8/30/2010

Greta: (Dallas, Texas) is a 3-4 year old Saint (or Saint mix).  She was dumped outside a country home about 30 minutes north of Dallas, TX, and the kind homeowners took her in and decided to "fix her up" and place her for adoption.  Greta is fine with other dogs (ignores them mostly) and is soon to be spayed.  She has her vaccines, and she is already housebroken and knows how to use a doggie door (make it a big one for her!).  Greta loves men, so she must have had a "daddy" at some time in her past.  8/29/2010

Gus: is a 3-year old smooth coat Saint Bernard who his foster parents describe as a “very polite guy” who knows his basic commands. He walks on a leash like a gentleman and very few corrections are needed. He is housetrained and has attached himself to his foster mom. Gus came to us as a stray and he is starved for affection. He weighs approximately 115# but could stand to gain a few. He is protective of his food around other dogs but otherwise is coexisting peacefully with his 3 canine companions. He should be placed in a home with children 10 and older because we have no knowledge of his previous interactions with children. He enjoyed his bath, he’s heartworm negative and on preventative, up to date on his vaccinations, and neutered. Gus is rather athletic and can jump a 4-foot fence without issue. Gus will provide a lifetime of love to a family willing to give him a second chance at life. 8/24/2010

Shorty: (Austin, TX) is approximately 8 months old.  He is a very cute and playful neutered male puppy, with lots of energy and love to give.  Shorty tested negative for heartworms and is up to date on all vaccines.  He is just waiting for his new family to come along.  He is good with other dogs, and knows some basics (like sit and stay).  8/22/2010

Sofi: "My name is Sofi, and I'm a beautiful 1-year-old female. I'm very submissive and a little skiddish around new people and dogs. I don't think my previous owners ever socialized me when I was younger, but I'm starting to come out of my shell at my foster home. Now I love playing with my foster brothers and sisters! I'm still a big puppy, so I love just running around the yard. I still haven't figured out the whole toy thing, but I like watching my foster brothers and sisters play with them. One day I'll learn how to play fetch like them. Even though I have tons of energy when I'm playing in the yard, I'm still a Saint Bernard so I like to just collapse on the floor and become a big couch potato too. I'm not aggressive at all, but I'm not a big fan of cats or small dogs. But I LOVE kids once I get to know them (I'm scared of them at first). I have some medical issues right now, but the nice people at the Rescue are working on getting me taken care of. Once they get me all patched up, I can't wait to meet you and go to my new forever home!" 8/16/2010

Sassy: is a very active young Saint who will be 2-years old in June. She is looking for a family that has plenty of time to walk her and play with her as she is very energetic and playful. She loves balls, she will play by herself with one or let you throw it, however, she won’t always let you have it back! She loves bones to chew on and needs them. She will chew a blanket or other things if she is bored and left unattended for too long, bones help keep her occupied and interested for long periods of time. She is working on her manners, does ok on a leash and is getting better every day. She listens very well as her motivation comes from praise and acceptance. She is not treat responsive, she likes treats but will respond better in training with praise and pets than with treats.  She is housetrained. Sassy does well with dogs smaller than her but is afraid of dogs bigger than her, she has some socialization learning to do when it comes to dogs. When she meets a new dog she immediately wants to play, she doesn’t know that they like to “meet” her first and need time to adjust to her. She just jumps and barks and tries to get them to play, however, she will back off if “warned” but will come right back and try to get them to play again. She is just a ball of energy Did I mention Sassy has energy?? She is learning quickly and is making good progress in her foster home. Sassy loves people and is good with children. She is scheduled to be spayed on 4/27. She is in good health and up to date on all shots. 8/16/2010

Dryfuss: 7 yr. old, long haired male. He is a TALL boy at 175lbs, he is still a "light" eater, only 2-4 cups a day.   Dryfuss came from a home where he was left outside and never allowed in the house.  He is doing good at his foster home, getting along well with the two other large dogs and one medium dog. He is very attentive to his person/people yet still laid back. Dryfus likes to go for walks and is good on leash. He like attention from stranger, and that is a good thing, because when walking Dryfus, your going to get attention! Are you looking for a king size love? Because Dryfuss is just the king to add to your family if you are! 8/12/2010

Tag: is a handsome 3-year-old longhaired male. He is neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on his shots. Tag was sold at a garage sale and showed up at the humane society as a stray. The owner reclaimed him and he showed up two days later as a stray again. When they called the owner, they said they didn’t want him. Tag is underweight at 140 pounds, but eating well at his foster home, and should start gaining weight. He has a wonderful easy-going temperament. He gets along well with people, dogs and cats. Tag has really good manners, rarely barks, and is housebroken and not destructive at all. He is pretty low energy, likes to go for leisurely walks, and does well on the leash. He also likes to ride in the car. He needs a forever home where he will be loved and appreciated, and where people will be patient with him while he learns that he is not going to be abandoned again. 8/11/2010

Dozer: Dozer  was frequently brought to the shelter because his owners did not have a fence and he would leave and go hang out at a government office building in town.  It sounds like everyone working there knew and loved Dozer.  He was a regular greeter of people working and doing business at this office. He loved having a job.  Unfortunately they were not looking for an office mascot and he was turned in several times to the shelter.  Eventually he was surrendered by his owners.  The shelter manager told me that Dozer's friends would see her and ask how he was doing at the shelter, offered to pay for his neuter etc.  A very popular fellow and a favorite at the shelter as well.   The surrender information states that he has been around cats and is fine-we have not yet tested his.  He is very good with people (of course) and other dogs.  Dozer is still in the shelter and needs a foster or adoptive home. 8/10/2010

Macks: is a 5 1/2-year-old, 109 lbs, neutered male. He is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet! He's housetrained and up-to-date on his shots. He gets along with everyone: kids, other dogs, cats, and even horses! He tends to ignore the other dogs at his foster home, but he does play with them on occasion. Macks is super laid back. He loves belly rubs and car rides, and he's mostly a couch potato. Nearly perfect in every way, he does have one tiny flaw - he can be a bit of an escape artist. He needs a home with some sort of fence around the yard. He responds well to the in-ground fence at his foster home, but a regular fence would work just as well. If you have a fenced yard and room in your heart for a gentle giant, consider adopting Macks today! 8/8/2010

ISABELLE: (Called Izzy for short) turned 3 yrs. old this past April. Izzy is registered and microchipped. She will be getting spayed and up to date on all of her shots. She is a very sweet dog who gets along with everyone. But, we think she was abused by small children, because if small children come up to her, she runs and hides. She is not aggressive. So, she would need to go to a home where there are no toddlers. 7/29/2010

 

Biggie: (Houston, TX) is a 4 year old neutered male smooth coat Saint.  He is good with both children and cats, and he loves to play with other dogs of all sizes.  Biggie weighs 130-140 lbs, and is housebroken and very well trained.  He is a drooler, but that is part of loving a Saint.  Biggie's family is getting divorced, and he needs to find a new permanent place to reside before the end of summer.  He is up to date on vaccines, and he is on heartworm prevention.  8/6/2010

EMMY: (***UPDATE***   Emmy won't be ready to go to her new home until sometime in the summer.  Our vet just handed us quite a surprise -- Emmy's pregnant.) Our girl Emmy just turned two years old and already she's a mom. She's at least 20 pounds underweight but thankfully she's a big fan of food so she'll pack on that much-needed weight in no time. (We don't understand it.  What's the point of having a dog if you can't be bothered feeding the dog?)  Emmy is a smoothcoat Saintly lady. She's a friendly little girl who interacts nicely with most other dogs but hasn't met a cat while here in Rescue. She is vaccinated, microchipped, and has been started on monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Emmy would likely do well in a home with kids over age 8 or 9 and perhaps another dog (male only). A fenced yard is strongly preferred though consideration will be given to an adopter committed to spending lots of time walking her. She LOVES the outdoors. ADDITIONAL EMMY UPDATE 6/8/2010; Emmy became a mom on May 15.  Her seven babies (one boy and six girls) got off to a rough start and had to spend a few days in the ICU at Tufts Veterinary Hospital but all are doing well now and are eating and growing like little piglets.  We're calling them "The Lake Litter" -- Michigan, Sunapee, Winnepesaukee (Winnie), Seneca, Sebago, Ruby, and Harlow. 7/29/2010

JOANNIE: Joan is a loving, enthusiastic three-year old roughcoat girl who comes to us as a casualty of divorce.  She is spayed, housetrained, vaccinated, microchipped, and she will be tested for heartworm in the next week or two.  As you can see from her picture, she has "hospice ears", the common term for a Saint who has white on the earflaps.  Joan loves to chase a frisbee and go for rides in the car.  She can usually be found lying on her back (her preferred position for getting frequent tummy rubs).  And she's a big fan of Milk Bones, though the Milk Bone thing has been a bit overdone so she needs to drop ten pounds or so.  Joan's a sweet girl who loves cuddling with her humans.  She has been with children as young as toddlers, is curious about cats, and plays nicely with most other dogs.  Her leash manners leave a bit to be desired but consistency and clear expectations and repetition will work wonders as she really does want to please.  The successful candidate will have a fenced yard. 7/29/2010

GUNTHER 2: Meet little Gunther.  A Saint/Great Pyrenees cross, he's just 16 months old.  Gunther is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, HW-negative, and he's housetrained.  He's a very kissy little boy who LOVES to cuddle.  (He also loves dog cookies and tearing apart stuffed toys.)  Gunny needed hip surgery to correct an orthopedic abnormality present at birth.  He's been with his foster mom recovering from his surgery and now he wants a home of his very own.  He'd like a submissive female dog to play with, and maybe some kids to dote on him.  He'll even let you dress him up in stupid hats.  We want him to have a fenced yard.  Preference will be given to a family with a stay-at-home parent or parents who work opposite hours.  Gunny's got lots of energy.  If you do too, and would like a beyond-sweet little guy to round out your family, given him a call.  He'd love to hear from you. 7/29/2010

Brandy: is a charming 4 year old female that came to us from a high-kill shelter after her owners were done breeding her. She was dumped as she was no longer useful to them. Boy did we hit the jackpot when Mid-Atlantic Saint Bernard Rescue was called in on this case. She is a wonderful girl who is good with other dogs. She loves her foster mom and wants to be with her as much as possible. She is looking for a home where she can be treated like a queen and be some ones best friend. When the foster's dogs get rowdy in the house Brandy insists they take it outside as she like a quiet home. 7/28/2010

Sierra: (Amarillo, Texas) is between 1-2 years old.  She is spayed and current on all shots.  She was found at a convenience store in Amarillo.  The people who found her couldn’t keep her as they live in an apartment.  She has some basic obedience skills but needs major socializing.  She is very sweet and loves attention.  We are not sure how she will do with smaller dogs because of housing arrangements at the shelter.  We have not put her with other large dogs as all large dogs currently at the shelter are dog aggressive.  She does not seem dog aggressive at the vets office but she has not been tried with other animals.  She does climb chain link fences of any size so whoever adopts this sweet girl will need a tall wooden fence.  We suspect once she has her forever home she will want to stay.  7/26/2010

Porthos: is 15 mo old male St who was given up because his mom couldn’t afford him anymore, moving and couldn’t take him along. 3 girls in the family. Seems to get along with all dogs he meets, had gone to dog parks, loves to ride in the car, eager to please. Learning to walk on no-pull leash and doing well, catches on quickly. 7/26/2010

Suzi: (SPECIAL NEEDS; Serious medical intervention needed.) is a 9-month old female rough coat Saint Bernard who was apprehended during an animal cruelty case along with her friends Pete and Burg. Suzi was left to wander much of the time and was not given proper food, water, or daily care. Suzi came to us severely malnourished, infested with fleas and ticks, and with 3 fractures, 2 in her right front leg and 1 in her back left hip that were never treated. Unfortunately she was likely in a great deal of pain for some time and did not receive any necessary medical treatment until now. Suzi is good with other dogs. She is definitely the shyest of the three and often hides. She is learning to take treats from her people slowly. Suzi will need significant orthopedic intervention which Saint Bernard rescue is in the process of obtaining. Unfortunately Suzi will likely need at least 2 surgeries which will cost our rescue approximately $5000. We are looking for a loving adoptive home for Suzi and we are also looking for sponsors for Suzi that will help us in funding her medical care. Currently Suzi is thriving in her foster home and learning to love more every day. Can you help us provide for Suzi? Can you provide the loving home that she most certainly deserves after her rough start in life? Update 4/28/10 Suzi took a turn for the worst and had to be taken to Southpaws in Arlington Va on Wednesday Morning. She has a team of vets trying to put her back together. She is 7-9 months old and weighs 34bs, normal weight should be in the 80lb range for that age. Her severe malnourishment is the least of her health problems. She has 2 broken legs, one of which needs plates. Her left hip is broken and needs extensive surgery to get her back together. All of these orthopedic injuries are a result of being hit by a car, and kicked by her previous owner (I MEAN DEMON). She, her brother, and father were confiscated by animal control. The other 2 are just underweight. We are having a hard time understanding why anybody would kick this sweet creature. This was reported by neighbors to animal control and according them it happened a lot more than one time. We are privileged to have the opportunity to help her at Mid-Atlantic Saint Bernard Rescue. Some might say why not just put her to sleep? We feel she is worth fighting for and we air on the side of life.  We are in the business to save Saint Bernards and try out hardest to make them whole so she and others can be placed in good loving homes so they never have to know abuse and hunger.  7/21/2010

Oskar: 7/19/2010

Rudy: is a very sweet, easy going dog. He loves all people and seems to like cats and other animals. He is about two years old. He was just treated for heartworm and still has to be neutered so he won't be available for adoption until around May 1st. The adoption fee includes all shots, heartworm test, neutering, a Home Again microchip and one night free obedience class in the Reno, Sparks, Carson City and Tahoe areas. 7/19/2010

 

Buddy: (Houston, TX) Purebred Saint Bernard. He is a 5 year old neutered male. He has just undergone heartworm treatment. He is current on all shots, microchipped, and I have heartworm and flea preventative for the next year to go home with him. He is 140 pounds and a smooth coat. I need to rehome him as soon as possible. The rehoming fee is very low and negotiable. I just want to make sure he is going to a good home. If you are interested please email or text me. He is great with other dogs and cats, but would probably do better in a home with older children. He is very low maintenance and will need to go to a home where he is indoors most of the time. 7/19/2010

Angel: is 6.5 years old and is sweet and lovable. She is fine with other dogs, cats, and is housebroken. Angel is heartworm positive and suffers from hip dysplasia, but daily supplements and pain control have improved her condition to the point where she can actually now use her weak leg to walk and even run a little! Angel is a cheerful, happy, lazy Saint. She just wants to be near her family. She has been around livestock, but prefers to be an indoor dog. Her beautiful thick coat requires a significant amount of grooming. She is a very fuzzy Saint! 7/9/2010

Cyrus: Hi!  My name is Cyrus and I am what we call "Nearly Saint," but let's just say there was a Newfie milkman in my neighborhood!  I am not quite two years old and I came to Saint bernard Rescue because somebody left me alone in Portland and I ended up at the shelter.  I am a very calm and loving gentleman with great manners; I stay very close to my person on walks and I am quite shy of men, although I do like the ladies!  My foster mom had me in the office at work and I just sat patiently by her side while she typed away at the computer and I would look up at customers but only come to them if they called me. I am completely up on all my shots and I will be altered before I go to my forever home.  I really don't care about cats or other dogs so I am a perfect fit for any home!  Can you find a place for me at the end of your chair?  I am living in a boarding kennel in Eugene right now so I am VERY lonely and I am ready to come home with you! 7/9/2010

FiFi: This sweet girl is a 4 yr. old St. Bernard who lost her home when her family moved into an apt. Fifi is very loving and friendly. She loves to give kisses! She is good around children and other dogs, including small dogs. Please consider giving Fifi a happy, forever home. She deserves to be part of a loving family! Spayed, shots, microchip. 7/8/2010

Murphy: is a very gentle, sweet, and loving dog. He has been starved of affection so he will be stuck to your leg like glue.

 tops out at 139 pounds right now but could use a couple more pounds to round him out. We are starting him out on basic obedience training and he responds quite well. Murphy adores playing with other dogs. He came from a family with children so is accustomed to little ones. This dog adores naps, enjoys outdoors, and is ecstatic when lying on his new doggie bed. Murphy is house trained and paces around the door when he needs to go out! At 2 1/2 years he is now up-to-date on his vaccinations, heartworm free, & neutered. This lovely dog would LOVE to go home with you. 7/2/2010

BABY: and PETUNIA: These two little misses are mother and daughter.  Baby's the mom and she's six years old.  When she was only a year old she gave birth to Petunia and her siblings -- Tulip, Lilly, Rosie, Peony, Pansy, Camelia, Marigold and Rhodie (short for rhododendron, who was the only boy).  Hmmm.  Do you see a pattern here??  Anyway, Baby and Petunia were adopted together and lived with a family who recently lost their home to foreclosure.  Sadly, the family wasn't able to take the girls with them when they moved to a small apartment.  Baby is a Saint/Beagle cross, and she's smaller than her daughter.  She did the reproduction dance with a purebred Saint, so Petunia is three-quarters Saint Bernard.  Interesting combination, no?  They're spayed, housetrained, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm-negative.  We'd much prefer to keep them together if possible, and the adoption fee will be reduced for the famly who will open their hearts to both girls.  They're good with kids of most ages.  Ideally they will be the family's only dogs.  And a fenced yard is necessary.  They're terribly sweet.  Call them.  They'd love to meet you. 7/1/2010

Katy: is between 1.5-2 years old.  She is a beautiful young Saint that recently had a litter of puppies.  She is now recovering from being a "mom" and playing and enjoying her time with other adult Saints.  Katy seems to get along well with the other large dogs (hasn't been around small ones  yet) and is tolerant of cats (although we are not sure yet if she is totally "trustworthy" with them).  She loves attention, and would love a family with a fenced yard and room to play!  Katy is scheduled to be spayed after her milk dries up.  She has very attractive markings, and needs to gain some weight. 6/30/2010

Pepsi: (Houston, TX) is a cross between a smooth and a rough coated Saint.  She is closer to the smooth variety.  Her birthday is July 7, 2006.  She has been raised with children, dogs, and cats.  The reason I am trying to find a new home for her, is that she has always been scared of children, especially babies and toddlers.  Older children have not seemed to be a problem.  However, lately she has been getting worse.  She seems to not like a lot of commotion.  Unfortunately, our house is nothing but commotion.  I have three children, the youngest is 2 years old and the oldest is 11 years old.  I have watched other people's kids from time to time and we have people over quite a bit.  I have trained dogs for many years, so when we got Pepsi, my main goal was to have a well-adjusted kid-friendly dog.  I have done everything I know to do and she has been exposed to all different types of situations.  No child has ever been mean to her in any way.  Although she has never bitten, she has growled.  I have reprimanded her; put up test situations...  all to no avail.  I just want her to be happy.  This has been such a difficult situation and I am so upset over it.  I would really like to see her with an older person or couple with no children or older children that will let her be with them inside.  She is rather lazy, not much for walks, toys or bones.  Her food, she has to have with milk (like cereal), crazy I know.    She spends most of her day laying by the front door or in our bedroom.  She loves belly rubs and likes to stand on your feet. She only drools after shes eaten or drank and just for a minute or so until she's gotten it all down.  She will on occasion play with my lab.  When it is nice out in the spring and fall she LOVES to lay down outside in the grass with her nose to the wind.  She looks quite regal.  She's been to the dog park, but not a huge fan.  She went to the beach and loved to walk along the water, but doesn't really like to go in.  I give her baths and nail-trims myself.  Again, not a big fan but if you are firm about it, she lets you do it. 6/29/2010

Samatha:  She just turned one year old and is a real sweetheart.  She gets along great with other dogs, cats and is housetrained.  She is a puppy and still has a few puppy traits that she needs to work on like requiring big dog toys because she likes to disassemble them to try and find the squeaky and then wonders what happened to her toy.  Such a silly girl!  Her favorite thing though is people...she is a very people person kind of girl. 6/27/2010

Maggie Mae:  She is a four year old shorthaired sweetheart of a saint.  She was so afraid when she came into rescue because she had always had a loving family and children to play with.  Her whole world changed in an instance of time and it took her awhile to understand that we loved her too and would find her another loving home with children.  Maggie Mae likes other dogs and very much loves and misses children.  She is a very beautiful, sweet and gentle saint. 6/27/2010

Buddy:  I can almost get my tongue to the top of my nose let me try again, there, I did it and even went way over my nose.  I'm a silly one year old boy who loves people but most of all, I miss my owner who was this really nice teenage guy that loved me very much and hated to have to send me to rescue.  The rescue people tell me they are going to look high and low to find me another really nice teenage guy or girl (I'm not picky) that will love me as much as I will love them. I'm housetrained, very sweet and just waiting to meet you. 6/27/2010  

London: is estimated to be about 14 months old.  She is sweet and loving, and is in the process of being housebroken.  London is currently suffering from some skin issues, but is receiving medical care and lots of groceries.  She gets along well with other dogs and is very playful.  London was turned in to the shelter by her owner for unknown reasons.  She can sit and stay, and walks well on a leash. She is very needy of attention, and likes to sleep in the bed!  She will probably not be ready for adoption until mid July due to her skin healing, and then needs to be spayed prior to going to her new family.  She is currently being fostered in the Houston area.  London tested negative for heartworms. 6/27/2010 

Bentley: (Arizona) is a St. Bernard/Australian Shepherd Mix.  He was born in December of 2008, he is deaf and considered blind, but can see shadows and differences in light.   He pays very close attention to your movement and touch signals.  He is housebroken, using the doggie door with no problems.  He runs and plays as any dog would.   He loves to play tug with people and other dogs, he is very soft mouth...playing nicely with others.   Bentley gets along with all sizes of dogs, cats, kids and people.  This gentle boy, loves to snuggle and get belly rubs and will actually sit on your lap or lay by your side, if you get on the floor with him.  Due to his attentive, gentle nature, he has great potential to become a therapy dog.  6/27/2010

CARRIE: The economy has been particularly tough on pets.  Our girl Carrie was a casualty of her family's housing hardship.  Carrie is three years old, longhaired, and she has a half-mask.  She is housetrained, vaccinated, microchipped, and negative for heartworm.  She was recently spayed and will soon undergo eye surgery to correct a condition called entropion (where her eyelids turn in and the eyelashes irritate her eyeballs), something that's common in this breed.  Once she recovers from her eye surgery she'll be ready to charm a lucky family.  Carrie is affectionate and is gentle with young children.  She does well with most other dogs, and she even likes cats.  She had a rough couple of nights when she first arrived here in Rescue (we're sure she missed her humans) but she quickly found her groove and settled right in.  Carrie has had some obedience training and walks well on leash.  Her favorite things include belly rubs, cuddling with her humans, and going for nature walks.  We'd strongly prefer that she has a fenced yard, though consideration will be given to the applicant committed to exercising her ON-leash.  Carrie's an exceedingly sweet girl who would dearly like to be part of a family again.  And if that family includes a stay-at-home parent, all the better. 6/26/2010

HEIDE: Two-year-old Heide came to us from a sad situation -- Her family had no time for her and so she was relegated to the front yard.  People would pass by but very few would bother to stop and chat with her or give her a smile or toss her a cookie.  She made remarkable progress with one of our foster families and so we tried a placement.  Alas, we failed poor Heide.  We allowed her to be adopted by a woman who appeared good, at least on paper (but, sadly, things aren't always what they seem).  During her brief stay in that adoptive home she lost considerable weight, and the good behaviors we had worked so hard to help her develop simply disappeared.  Back she came, and we noticed that she had become hand-shy which led us to believe that she had been struck.  She was so depressed we wondered if she'd be able to snap back.  Thankfully, after many months she has begun to do just that, and at last is coming out of her shell.  Sweet Heide is a spayed, housetrained, vaccinated, microchipped and HW-negative roughcoat little lady.  She will need a fenced yard, no other pets, and a patient adopter who will help her to continue to rebuild trust while she learns that hands can be gentle.  Kids should probably be 12 or older.  Saint- or giant-breed-experience is essential.  Won't you come and meet our Heide?  She has so much love to give. 6/26/2010

Hoss: (Kerrville, TX.) is a very well behaved, easy going St. Bernard, and he is about 5 or 6 years old. He is neutered and current on his vaccines.  Hoss is housebroken.  Please contact Diana with any questions you may have, at (830) 496-0199.  Hoss is located in Kerrville, TX. 6/21/2010

Zeus: At 3 years, Zeus is quite a gentleman. We are working on his basic obedience. He is already doing sit, down & stay quite well. Zeus loves long walks in the park. He plays well with other dogs; big & small. A calm, loving dog - he will be even better as a single dog in the home to give him the attention and love he has missed in life. This big boy loves his naps; is excellent at staying home alone; completely housebroken and will even knock at the door to be let out/in. 6/18/2010

Lucy 2: is a sweet, young, smooth coat Saint.  She is just over 2 years old, and is housebroken, decent on a leash, and has good manners.  She likes other dogs, and is submissive.  Lucy is not okay with cats, and seems to have a high prey drive in general (like squirrels), so she probably should not be adopted to a home with very small dogs. She was turned into the shelter for chasing goats.  Lucy seems to be fine around calm horses though.  Lucy knows her name, comes when called, and understands what "no" means.  She is a very lovable dog.  She is very underweight at 85 lbs, 6/18/2010 

Shogun: is a 7 month old neutered male Saint puppy.  He is current on vaccines and heartworm prevention.  Shogun is good with other dogs large and small, and he knows some basic obedience and tricks.  He currently weighs about 90lbs and is still growing.  Shogun has not been around cats, and is not recommended for families with children under 7 years old or so, as he plays very rough, and does not know his size or strength. Shogun likes to play with toys, and loves to eat socks, so you better hide them!  Shogun came to rescue when his family was forced to move out-of-state without him.  He is a very loving boy and will make a wonderful family companion. 6/13/2010

Dakota:  2 yr old, long haired female. 6/9/2010

Pete: is a 9-month old male rough coat Saint Bernard who was apprehended during an animal cruelty case along with his friends Burg and Suzi. Pete was left to wander much of the time and was not given proper food, water, or daily care. He is currently learning the ways of living in a safe and comfortable home. He is great with other dogs and loves to play. He is a little fearful of people most certainly due to lack of socialization however he is coming around very quickly. He loves his treats and his food! He will need a family with the patience to socialize and work with him on basic training. He has a tremendous amount of love to give and is making great strides with his foster family. Despite his rough beginnings he is in relatively good shape. Pete is scheduled to be neutered soon. He needed to be shaved due to severe tick infestation and horrible matting of his coat. With proper nutrition and care his coat is bound to grow back beautifully. 6/7/2010

Nana: This is Nana Nana is an owner surrender thru no fault of hers. She is a dream dog. She is spayed, housebroken, up to date on vaccinations and worming. She is on the petite side and every inch a lady. She walks well on leash, has manners, and is an absolute goof ball for tummy rubs. She soaks up love and attention like a sponge. She gets along with people and other animals after a proper introduction. She is most comfortable anywhere her human is. Loves to lay on your feet at the computer. Her shorthair makes for easy grooming. Can you find enough love to share with Nana? She will be your companion for life. A more devoted dog would be hard to find!! 6/7/2010

TINY: Tiny is a delightful four-year-old roughcoat (longhaired) fellow.  He's neutered, housetrained, vaccinated, heartworm-negative, and microchipped.  He interacts appropriately with most dogs and we're told he also gets along with cats.  He has lived with children as young as toddler-age.  When greeting new people, Tiny is on alert --  He takes his responsibility to protect "his" kids seriously.  Once he's assured that visitors are friend, not foe, he barks hello and then welcomes them into his inner circle.  He's not crazy about the vacuum cleaner.  (Aha!  An excuse not to vacuum every day.)  Tiny came to us through no fault of his own, the product of divorce and housing issues.  He's an affectionate guy who revels in the company of his humans.  We'd like him to have a fenced yard though consideration will be given to the Saint-experienced adopter willing to supervise him outdoors.  Oh, and did we mention that he has LOVELY eyes? 6/6/2010

Samantha aka "Sammy": is a 3 year old female rough-coat who lost her home due to a family situation. She is very sweet and lovable. We sometimes confuse her for a lap dog! She walks well on a leash and loves car rides. She is good with kids, cats, and other dogs. She can  be cranky and possessive of her food. She is spayed, up to date on her shots and ready to go to her new home. 6/4/2010

Lucy: is a young (1-2 years), adorable Saint Bernard, possibly mixed with Great Pyrenees.  She likes cats and other dogs, and is housebroken.  Lucy was a stray that was picked up in north TX. She is quite shy, but appears to have some leash training, and is being worked with by her foster family to boost her confidence.  She has a very sweet disposition, and will make someone a wonderful family pet. 6/2/2010

Chance: is about 6 years old. He got his name because rescue saved him on his last day before being put to sleep. He was so horrible looking we knew he had no chance at adoption directly from the shelter. Chance had no hair from the middle of his back down his legs and tail, due to a severe yeast infection. He is also heartworm positive. Chance is sweet, docile, and seeking a home to live out his retirement years He is scheduled to be neutered once his skin clears up (and it is progressing nicely). Chance gets along with other dogs, and he is housebroken. Are you ready to give him a Chance in your home? 6/2/2010

Chomp: 2 year old Longhaired Male.  Chomp came from a home with 4 children.  He is great with people and small children.  Because he still acts like a puppy, he loves to run around and get on your lap.  He is a very high energy dog.  It is a must that this dog will go to dog obedience class.  Chomp does not get along with small dogs.  We are not sure about cats.  He is a counter surfer. 6/2/2010

Pumba: is a 10 mo (5/26/2009) neutered male smooth coat. He was turned in by his owners due to a foreclosure. This guy is all puppy and very sweet. His adopter must have previous Saint ownership experience. 6/1/2010

Taffy: is a 6 year old rough coat st bernard looking for her forever home. She loves belly rubs, running around the yard, and loves to go for rides in the car. She is doing great with crate training as well. She is not destructive when left alone and seems to just find a comfortable place to sleep while your gone. She is up to date on her shots, and will be started on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. Taffy would love a home with a fenced in yard to run around in and children over the age of 12 (only due to her energy and size), and she would love to be the only dog so she can soak up all the attention. 5/31/2010

Lyndee Star: (Dallas, TX) This is Lyndee Star. She is a spayed female with no health problems who will be 7 years old in May.  She lives with 2 other big dogs and several cats.  Her owner is having to move to a place where she cannot take all the pets.  Lyndee is about 110 lb and is more of a dry mouth which means no drooling.  Lyndee is housebroken and needs to be an indoor dog.  She is easy going, loves to just "smell the roses" when on walks. While she hasn't lived with kids, she was a humane education dog for an animal shelter and so has been around many children in her life. Lyndee is located in Texas. 5/31/2010

Zak: 3 yr. old, long haired mail, weighs 103 lbs.  Zak has come to rescue because of his irresponsible owners who found themselves homeless and living with friends, and eventually he made his way to us. He is severely malnourished, but, is a very sweet, loving dog.  He has no aggression issues with people or other animals.  He is not a needy dog, but every once in a while, will come up to you for some love.  Zak deserves a great home where he will be loved and be part of the family. 5/30/2010

Mia: 4 yr. old, long haired female.  Mia has come into Rescue because the owner is moving into an apartment, and can't take the dog.  Mia is very friendly with people, other cats and dogs.  She even gets along with the neighbor's chickens.  She does have a little bit of separation anxiety. 5/30/2010

Toby: (TX) is looking for a good home. He has been with the same owners since he was a puppy and he is now 8 years old. He is purebred, AKC registered, male (not neutered), microchipped. He is a typical "Beethoven" looking teddy bear St. Bernard with the full mask and beautiful coat. He loves attention, loves baths and loves people. One of his only draw-backs is that he is not good with children (which is why we are having to give him up, we recently found out we are expecting, and we are also PCSing due to the military and the rentals in our new area have strict pet weight restrictions). Toby is well house trained, he is an excellent guard dog and quickly becomes protective of his home and anyone who cares for him. He would do best in a home with (as we said before) no kids, he loves adults and does well with any and all of our friends that have ever taken care of him during vacations, etc. He is also GREAT with other dogs (of any size) and also very good with cats! Please call Lee at 254.247.5664 or Amy at 717.860.6597 if you would like to come see Toby at our house or if you have any questions at all regarding becoming his new owner! Thanks again and feel free to spread the word, we have to find him a home by July and we want to make sure it's the RIGHT home! Toby is located in TX. 5/28/2010

Sam: This is Sam he is an owner surrender thru no fault of his own. He is a loving, and affectionate boy. He loves to give kisses. He is 4 1/2 years old, neutered, and current on his vaccinations. He is housebroken and crate trained. Sam loves to be part of the family. He has been raised around small children and responds lovingly. He also does well with cats and female dogs (not sure how he is with males). He enjoys walks and hikes and does great on a leash. He loves to play and is energetic. He knows basic obedience commands. His long hair requires grooming, but he is easy to wash and loves to be brushed. He loves to be with his people. Sam is a sweet and gentle giant. 5/23/2010

 Bear:  Bear is a big guy and also has good manners.  He does have issues with his food and has to eat away from other dogs.  He would do best with a female dog or being the only dog.  Because of his size, he would do best with kids over ten.  He is an easy going guy who has a lot of love to give. 5/21/2010

Beethoven:  Beethoven is 15 months old and he is housetrained.  Since he is still a big puppy, he will need some training on his manners.  He is a big guy with a beautiful red coat and very nice personality. 5/21/2010

Georgia: is a 5 mo (12/15/09) spayed female rough coat. Her owners had to move. She sez she feels like a reverse Lilliputian. She so small and all the other dogs are so big here at the Rescata. Since she is a puppy. Her adopter MUST have previous Saint ownership experience. 5/18/2010

Abby: is 1.5 years old.  Her story is a tragic one. Her owner passed away of cancer, leaving her without provisions for care or anyone who wanted her.  Luckily, Abby made her way to the rescue, but she is still timid & likely a bit traumatized from staying with her deceased master in the apartment until help arrived.  Abby had a "sister dog" Bouvier that was her best friend, and they might possibly be able to be reunited if an adopter wants both.  Meanwhile, Abby is in the Austin area, adjusting to her active foster home with kids and other dogs of varying sizes.  She weighs about 100 lbs. and is already spayed, current on vaccines, and just building her confidence until a new forever family can be located for her.  Abby is sweet and well mannered in the house.  She could use some leash training while outdoors, as she gets excited with so much freedom and room to romp. 5/17/2010 

Josiah: 2 years old. 142 lb. short haired male dog.  Josiah came into Rescue very scared.  He came from a home where they kept him outside, never been in a car, never been on a leash, and never allowed in the house.  Josiah was very scared getting into a car, but now loves going for his rides.  As for being on a leash, for a dog that has never been on a leash or even owned one, he does extremely well.  He walks right by your side and never pulls.  Josiah is trained at staying out of the kitchen and dining room when eating. Josiah is a big GOOF BALL.  He loves to play tug of war with other dogs and people.  He also likes cats.  He is strong and plays rough.  For this reason, he needs to go to a home with older children.  He has never had any obedience training.  But since working with him, he will sit and stay when you tell him, and most of the time when you tell him to come he will.  Sometimes he has selective hearing like most Saints..  He is doing great on his socialization skills.  I can take him for walks, and he no longer barks at people.  Josiah is a dog that wants to be in your lap and get lots of loving.  He is really a sweet dog, and desperately wants to go to his new home. 5/16/2010

FITZPATRICK: Meet our latest cuddlebug. His name's Fitzpatrick and he's s smoothcoat (shorthaired) half-masked gentleman who is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, housetrained, and negative for heartworm and several tick-borne diseases. Fitzie has had a number of homes over the past couple of years, through no fault of his own. His owner died and he ended up with someone who didn't or couldn't take proper care of him. He was allowed to get too thin and his diet was lacking in proper nutrition. And poor Fitz suffered from a flea infestation which resulted in the loss of some of the hair on his rump.  Thankfully, the hair's growing back and he's putting on some weight.  He also had a very serious and painful ear infection. He even had maggots (yes, MAGGOTS) in his ears!  But he is finally on the road to recovery. Fitz turned six years old a day or two before Christmas. Given that the average lifespan of a Saint Bernard is now 10-12 years, occasionally more, we figure that Fitzie still has many years to love and be loved by a special family. We're told he does reasonably well with cats though he hasn't met a cat while here at Camp Saint Bernard. He would likely be okay with a canine housemate, depending on the other dog, though we'd prefer to see him as the family's only dog. He's had too much neglect in his recent past -- We'd really like him to enjoy being the center of attention. Kids, if any, should be 12 or older. Quite frankly he'd be the perfect dog for a retired person who would spend time with him, doting on him, and letting him know that he's loved.  We'd prefer him to have a fenced yard though consideration will be given to the applicant who is committed to keeping him company outdoors. Quite frankly, he doesn't spend all that much time outdoors. He'd much prefer to lie in front of a fire or commandeer a corner of your bed.  Won't you consider Mr. Fitzpatrick? You won't be sorry. 5/13/2010

AUSSIE: This handsome guy is five years old, longhaired, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and HW-negative.  His owner entered a nursing home and there was no family member to step up to the plate for him.  He's an affectionate and loyal boy who still has many years of love to give.  His favorite place is in your lap (and he's quite a lapful).  Aussie's never lived with another dog so we think he'll do best as the family's only pet.  (No cats please -- He gets entirely too much pleasure from chasing them.)  He's somewhat of a bull in a china shop so kids should be over age 10 or so.  He doesn't quite understand what to do with toys.  How sad is that!!  But he's a big fan of cookies and the occasional piece of cheese.  He will need a fenced yard and a refresher course in leash-walking.  Poor Aussie just doesn't understand where his human mom is so he'll need a new family willing to spend time with him, going for walks, and helping him to ease his confusion.  He's a wonderful, wonderful boy. 5/13/2010

Toby: Meet Toby He is one handsome boy. He is an owner surrender. He just turned 1 yr old neutered up to date on his vaccinations and wormings. He is housebroke gets along with everyone  he meets whether it has 2 or 4 legs. Will need a strong hand in training, though he is anxious to please. He is going to be a BIG boy. He is 149 pounds now He gives the best puppy kisses just a big mooshy face sweet boy who needs someone to do right by him. His heart is as big as he is. Can you give him a good forever home? 5/12/2010

Lucky: Well hello there, I’m Lucky and a fitting name for me it is. When I came into the rescue two months ago I was barely 100lbs but I am steadily climbing to a normal weight. These nice people have allowed me to show my true personality which is kind of spunky. I love attention as well as my alone time chomping on my squeaky toys. Ah yes, in the picture you will also see my favorite squeaky toy, Froggy. We are world travelers and journey all around the back yard together. And on my head, just above my eyes there is a formation of a wishbone. So you can see that I will be nothing but good luck for you. 5/3/2010

Deke: is an 18 mo old neutered male rough coat. His stars lined up and angels helped him be rescued from being dumped in a Walmart parking lot in MS. He hitched rides to Mobile and then Montgomery AL where we met him and brought him to my office. This guy is very sweet. He likes to be with someone or another dog all the time. He is microchipped and ready for the last leg of his journey to his forever home. 5/2/2010

 Tank: 16 month old, long haired male.  Tank weighs 110 lbs, so as you can see by the pictures, he needs to put on weight.  Tank is the SWEETEST dog.  He has absolutely no issues whatsoever.  He enjoys being around small children, as he came from a home who ran a day care.  He is great with other dogs and cats.  He is truly well behaved.  He loves to go for his walks and is great on the leash.  He is extremely well behaved in car rides.  He does not get up on furniture.  Tank is a dog that just wants love from anyone.  You will truly love him.  Let's get him a good home. 5/2/2010

Maria: is 15 months old. She loves to go on walks, play with other dogs, and she really loves chew toys and treats. We are still working with her to get her to sit. She is very playful and still thinks she is a little puppy. The thing she loves the most is getting belly rubs. 4/30/2010

HANS: This gentleman is six-year-old Hans, who is yet another victim of the economy.  His family asked for our help when they got that dreaded foreclosure notice.  Hans is a roughcoat (long-hair).  He's housetrained, vaccinated, and negative for heartworm.  He's microchipped and neutered.  Alas, Hans has poor vision due to bilateral juvenile cataracts that weren't addressed when he was younger.  Our veterinary ophthalmologist has scheduled him for surgery and we hope to see him regain at least some of his sight.  Hans will do well with children as young as infants.  He interacts appropriately with most other dogs and is reported to be playful with cats (hasn't met one here though).  He loves tummy rubs, and sneaking people food.  He does know some commands (sit, lie down, come, and get off the couch).  He's a friendly, engageable fellow.  He's a big cuddler but doesn't give kisses.  And he loves parking his big head in his human's lap.  We'd prefer that he have a traditional fenced yard though consideration will be given to the applicant who's committed to walking him (and reminding him that he mustn't pull on leash).  Interested? 4/29/2010

KIRBY: Meet the perfect Saint Bernard.  Our man Kirby is three years old, roughcoat (longhaired), neutered, vaccinated, and HW-negative.  He came to us VERY ill (indeed, close to death) but after an extended stay in Tufts Veterinary Hospital's ICU and lots of post-hospitalization TLC he has blossomed, thanks to his wonderful foster mom.  He's healthy.  He has gained weight.  The sparkle has returned to his eyes.  He has completed basic obedience, advanced obedience, and he was trained to be a therapy dog with his foster mom.  We will want to see him teamed up with another human interested in expanding his therapy dog experience.  (Though he's been through the program, a new owner must be trained to work specifically as a team with him.)  Kirby's an extraordinary guy who is happiest in a therapeutic setting -- reading with children at local libraries would be especially enjoyable for him, perhaps visiting nursing homes or hospitals, going to elementary schools.  We will require a fenced yard for Kirby, and the successful candidate will be committed to continuing his therapy dog activities.  Though quite playful and sweet when he's not "working," he takes this therapy dog business quite seriously.  He's a man with a mission.   Kirby will do best as an only dog or with a submissive female.  He will thrive in an environment where he can be socially active and engaged.  He has lived successfully with cats.  Kids should probably be over age 6.  His foster mom will be very involved with the screening/selection process and will stay in close contact with Kirby and his new family.  He's a dream dog! 4/29/2010

Tonka: is a 2 1/2 year old. She loves all people, other dogs and is good with cats. She doesn't know her size and can easily clear a 4 foot fence. She enjoys having room to run. 4/27/2010

Cinnamon: Meet Cinnamon. she is 4 years old and been thru hell. When she was dropped off into rescue (owner surrender!!) she had severe burns on her lips and mouth (vet figures she bit an electrical cord) her ear was so matted to the side of her face it couldn't be lifted to look inside even. She only weighed 90 pounds (she was starved and had parasites). And the gentlest spirit true to the saint breed. She is so grateful for a soft bed good food treats grooming and a soft touch. She is current on Vaccinations, has been wormed, spayed, microchipped, and groomed. (still lots of grooming to go) She is housebroken, crate trained, and gets along with every other animal I have had her with no issues. What she needs now is a stable home that can shower her with love and lots of pettings and belly rubs. 4/25/2010

Viggo: is a 2 year old rough coat Saint.  He is in transit and will join the rescue program this week.  Viggo is not yet neutered, and is heartworm positive.  The shelter workers think he is wonderful and gentle, and say that he plays well with other dogs and ignores cats.  More details to come as he joins his foster family. 4/23/2010

Cooper: Hi I am Cooper! A wonderful 2 year old. I am neutered and housebroken, I love children and am a happy go lucky kind of guy. I am looking for my forever home and promise to give unconditional love and devotion to your family. 4/19/2010

Sophia: is a 3-year old rough coat female Saint Bernard who is looking for a place to call home. She weighs 115# and could stand to put on a little weight. She is currently being fostered with 2 toy sized dogs, cats, and children and does well with all. She loves to play outside and enjoys long walks. She even enjoys taking the little dogs for walks by grabbing their leash in her mouth! Sophia was used as a breeder dog and once she stopped producing puppies she was left outside in the elements without shelter. A nice family has taken her in for fostering and is helping her to find a deserving forever home. Sophia is spayed and up to date on all of her vaccinations. 4/19/2010

Harley: 84 lb. long haired female, 2 1/2 yrs of age.  She was turned into Rescue as her owners had to move and could not take her with them.  Harley is wonderful around children and adults.  She has never had any obedience training, so she definitely needs training.  She slept in a barn at night and stayed outside during the day.  In her new foster home she is an indoor/outdoor dog.  She is housebroken.  She is very very strong.  When Harley gets excited seeing people, after she settles down, she will sit when you tell her to.   If you say "hi five" she shakes hands.  She loves tummy rubs.  She does dig for gophers.  She tolerates the neighbors cat.  Harley does not like little barky dogs.  She likes to be a lap dog.  She is working on getting trained on the leash.  She will pull.  She will probably be a bit needy as this is will be a big adjustment for her. 4/14/2010

Holly: is a sweet, young, playful Saint pup.  We are not sure how old she is, but estimate 7-8 months.  Holly loves to play with other dogs and does fine with cats.  She is very energetic, and would benefit from some obedience training.  Holly was picked up as a stray.  She has been vaccinated, dewormed, and tested negative for heartworms.  She will be spayed soon, and then she will be ready for her new family! 4/18/2010

Jobe: is a train wreck, and like his Biblical namesake, he has been plagued with misfortune. He is extremely emaciated (he could barely stand his first day in rescue), and has a severe case of sarcoptic mange. He has been starved and neglected for a long time, but has a sweet personality and craves human attention. He gets along with the other dogs and cats and appears to be house trained. Due to the infectious nature of mange, he does is living in his foster's garage (with a nice bed and a space heater to keep him warm) and is being fed 12 to 14 cups of puppy food, plus canned food, per day. His mange is being treated, and his coat should grow back, but he is going to need a lot of TLC. Jobe was turned in by an owner-he was NOT a stray. Jobe's Christmas wish is for health and a new family in 2010. One that will cherish him, and make his heartbreak a thing of the past. 4/18/2010

 

Mia: Meet Mia (mee'ya) She is 8 weeks old typical puppy. She is crate trained and is currently being housebroken. She will have 2 sets of puppy shots, wormed, and micro chipped. She will  only be adopted with a spay agreement  if she is not spayed before adoption finalizes. Would prefer previous saint experience. 4/18/2010

 Cheyenne: we believe her to be around 2 years old.  She was a stray and we are still learning about her.  She is a sweet girl that when we picked her up, she put her head on our lap and stood still and never moved for thirty minutes while we petted her.  She has pretty markings with a little Monks cap on her head. More updates to come as she blossoms. 4/18/2010

Emma:  Emma is a special girl that needs a loving home.  She is around four or five years old.  When she came into rescue she was afraid to walk on the floor and even to go through doors.  She is now over those fears but still has a fear of meeting new people, but once she has met you, she just melts. Emma will bond hard with her new family. 4/18/2010

Deuce: is an 18 mo neutered male smooth coat. He was turned into a shelter in Kentucky by his owners. Their landlord disapproved of them having him. This guy is 130 pounds and still growing. His adopter must have previous Saint ownership experience. 4/17/2010

Rasta Girl: is a 4 yo spayed female rough coat. She was a stray near a busy highway that some people took in and tried to find her owner. No one claimed her. She earned her name due to the dreadlock mats she had on her tail and rear legs. She can go over a 4 foot fence easily so she'll need a privacy type fence in her new home. 4/16/2010

DELANEY: Meet nine-month-old Delaney, a smoothcoat (shorthaired) spitfire who doesn't have a clue in the world what the word "moderation" means.  I mean, really, why walk when you can run?  There's so very much ground to cover, and one must sniff it all.  Delaney will need a very special home.  She's fearful, slow to warm up, and isn't sure how the heck she ended up in Rescue.  She shows all the classic signs of being struck.  (We're working on trust issues.)  Delaney has much potential in the right situation.  What will that situation encompass?  Most definitely a home with a traditional fenced yard, NO KIDS, no other pets, and a Saint-experienced human who is willing to continue helping her learn that a raised hand DOESN'T mean she's going to be hit.  If you've got a boatload of patience, a desire to help this little lady bloom, and the time to make a difference in her young life won't you please give Delaney a call.  She's spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and HW-negative.  She's waiting for that Special Someone to come along.  Is that you? 4/12/2010

Molly: a 1 1/2 yrs. old that is living in a back yard filled with garbage. 4/11/2010

Rufus: short haired male, 145 lbs., but got the idea somewhere, that he's 15 lbs. because when he wants love from people.  All of a sudden he's (not a lap dog) but a foot dog.  He will stand or sit right in front of you (on your feet if you let him), as to give you the BEST angle at petting (or loving on) him!  Rufus greets his foster "sister" cats several times a day, nose to nose, then smelling them all over.  He hasn't been aggressive to them at all. Rufus rides great in the car, and he loves to meet people. He walks pretty well on a leash, but sometimes gets excited and has to be reminded not to try to run.  Rufus likes to play with other dogs, but must be introduced carefully.  He's a big guy and can play rough. 4/11/2010

Sallie Mae: just turned 4 years old. Her owners bought her as a puppy at a pet store. She is a little shy to start but warms up in a little while. She has a quiet manner about her and is very sweet. She is good with dogs, cats and small children. Sallie is quite large for a female. She will make a wonderful family pet for anyone who is looking for a quiet, well mannered addition to the family. 4/11/2010

SOPHIE: My name is Sophie and I am your loyal new friend.  I am about 2 years old and I love to be right where you are.  I have been told I am quite sweet.  I have a great time playing with my new saint friend in my foster home. We have a blast and rip roar through the house and outside.  He is a big fella like me and to tell you the truth I prefer spending time with him rather than with girl dogs.    I like my walks too - I get a little excited at first, but before you know it I get my stride down.  4/11/2010

Maggie: Saints too large?  Meet Maggie who is a happy fun-loving girl who loves people and appears to be great with kids. Though  easily encouraged to play, Maggie is low-key around the house and is just as happy sitting and watching TV with the family. She enjoys walks around the neighborhood and is good on a leash. Maggie is house-broken and does not seem to have any barking or destructive behavior issues. She is quite intelligent and has learned several basic commands quickly.

Bentley: (Lufkin, Texas) I rescued Bentley from a church parking lot here in Lufkin, TX last March 2009.  He was wary at first, wandering around smelling all the trucks and apparently searching for his owner.  He had on a collar that was at least two sizes too small and no tags.  With some coaching, Bentley got into my car that day and has been with us since, waiting for his forever home where he can get all the love he needs.  No one ever posted a notice that he was missing, and his size has worked against his adoption here in financially distressed East Texas.  Bentley is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and has already been dewormed, as well as treated for heartworms.  4/3/2010

 

Bugsy: This handsome boy is Bugsy, a two year old male St. Bernard who came into Rescue because his "people" are relocating and unable to keep him. Bugsy is a good boy who even gets along with cats! He loves to take walks and go for rides in the car. 3/31/2010

Lucy: is an approximately 1 to 2 year old female, who weighs 105 lbs.  She came to the shelter as a stray, and as you can see by her pictures, she needs to put on weight, which she is doing now in her foster home.  Lucy loves people, and likes to cuddle with adults, and she likes children.  She loves to PLAY, PLAY, PLAY.  She would play all day long if you let her.  She is getting along great with the other dogs in the household, and is fine with cats.  Lucy is an absolutely wonderful dog.  We need to find her a great home that she will be in forever. 3/30/2010

He has good manners, walks well on a leash and is great with other dogs.  He is FABULOUS with small children, lets them hang on his neck and lay all over him, even kids at the park. 3/30/2010

 

Fiona: may look sad but she is a happy-go-lucky 2 year old female St. Bernard rescued out of the local shelter. Fiona will need some basic obedience training. She is very playful, loves car rides and doggie treats! 3/29/2010

Beethoven: will be 3 years old in May.  He grew up as an "outside only" yard dog, so he is gradually learning inside manners and to be housebroken.  Beethoven is very sweet and gentle.  He likes to lay with his tongue sticking out, and cocks his head back and forth as if really paying attention to what you are saying.  He is fine with other dogs and enjoys their company, but has not been tested around cats.  Beethoven also is good with children.  Although friendly, Beethoven has spent much of his life alone in a backyard, so he doesn't seek affection too often, but rather lies quietly in a corner.  He does very much enjoyed being hugged and petted, he just doesn't seem to realize it is an okay thing to ask for some loving!  Beethoven has tested positive for heartworms and has been put on prevention. 3/27/2010

HEIDI: Hi!  My name is Heidi and I'm five years old.  I came from a  breeder where I had many litters of puppies.  Now it's my turn to have all the love and attention.  My foster dad is helping me find my playful self otherwise I'm a very mellow lady. I love long walks on the lake and rolling in the snow is my favorite! I'm very loyal and love to be where my foster family is.  Car rides are the best and meeting new friends is fun too. Some dogs are intimidated by my size and deep bark, but I'm all love and just want to play.  I've been told that I snore when I'm very tired, but I don't believe it.  3/24/2010

 

WHISPER: Greetings from Whisper. I am a lovely 7 year old. I am the perfect "first saint" for you.  Or maybe you live in a condo, or just want an experienced dog...well actually I could be the perfect saint for almost anyone!  I have gained a lot of good dog knowledge over the years and know just how to be a gentle loving saint.  My previous owners even had me go to school and I was a star student.  Cat, dogs and kids all like me and I like to play with all of them too.   I am looking for a loving permanent home and I just know you are out there looking for me too! 3/24/2010

Oden: I'm Oden and almost 2 yrs old.  They tell me that I'm a shorthair and that I'm a pretty big boy.  I'm still much of a puppy so I need to be adopted by someone that has the time to train me.  I get very excited and do things that some people find discouraging - like jumping.  I've always lived outside but have been allowed in to visit my family for a couple of hours in the evening.  That was pretty cool!  Look forward to a home that will make me part of my own family.  I will do best with older children due to my size and excitability.  I do well with other dogs that I've grown up with, and also with other dogs that I meet for the first time.
3/23/2010

Molly: is a sweet rough coat Saint Bernard who is looking for a place to call home.  She was a stray to a local animal control and we are estimating her age to be around 4-5.  She loves to go on walks and she is protective of her foster grandma, who comes over and sits with Molly while her foster mom is at work. She is a fast walker so would be a great gal to get in shape with! She doesn't seem to have any issues with her food bowl and she will let you do pretty much anything to her. The dogs she has interacted with in her foster’s neighborhood she doesn’t seem to mind. She doesn’t seem to want to interact much but also doesn’t seem to react when they come up to her.  Molly weighs around 110# and is at a relatively good weight. If you think Molly might be the dog for you, please contact us today! 3/20/2010

Rosie: Sweet, sweet, sweet, that’s me, Rosie. I was out playing tag and animal control picked me up in Virginia Beach. They didn’t let me loose again, shhhh. I don’t think they know how to play. I was living on my own but am now in the care of this great organization. I’m in better shape now than I ever was living on my own. I am a rough coat and about 110lbs, not bad for a girl of 6yrs if I do say so myself. I would be a perfect fit for your home as I know my basic commands and I appear to be crate-trained too. I am very laid back and gentle so we could watch movies together on these cold nights we’ve been having. 3/20/2010

 

Nemo: long haired male, 8 mos. old, 111 lbs.  This boy came to Rescue because the owner past away.  He is very sweet and gets along with other dogs and cats. 3/18/2010

He is very sweet, good with other animals, and older children. He enjoys playing with his foster brothers and sisters. He knows basic commands, walks well on a leash, and sits nice and calm for treats. He is a really great boy! 3/16/2010

Sabrina: 3 yr. old, long haired, spayed female.  Sabrina is a lady, likes to run and play.  She is housebroken and obedience trained.  She is high energy and ready to rock and roll. 3/16/2010

Smokey: we think he is around 4 or 5 years old and is a shorthaired male.  He would love to go to a family that loves football as much as he likes to play football.  Smokey had a good life with his former owner but when the owner passed away, his caretakers were not at all nice.  They cut part of his tail off, they were evicted and left him in the yard with no food or water. Thankfully some neighbors noticed his plight and called rescue.  If your looking for a guy that loves to play, Smokey is it. 3/16/2010

Gimley: A 3-year old shorthaired neutered male. Gimley is a smaller boy and when he calms down can be very sweet and loving. He is not use to being loved or handled and gets very excited about any attention he gets. He is in need of more basic obedience, housebroke and is gentle most of the time. He is good with most other dogs (not intact males) and cats as long as they don't run. Favorite trick, he bounces up and down in front of you, way off the ground and thinks it is so funny. He wants a home where someone will take him for long walks and gives him more training. 3/15/2010

Maximus: A 1-year old longhaired neutered male. Maximus is a solid big boy, very sweet and loving. He walks on a leash very well most of the time but does need more basic obedience, housebroke and is gentle most of the time. He is good with other dogs and cats as long as they don't run. Favorite trick, he loves water any water any time of year. He wants a home where someone will take him for long walks. 3/15/2010

Sarah: came in to rescue with her sister Penny. Penny has been adopted and Sarah is still waiting for her forever home. Sarah is two years old, spayed, up to date on her shots, and has been heartworm tested and started on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention. She is also crate trained. She has been around small children and likes their company. Sarah is a dominant female and would be best placed with a young calm male companion or as the only dog. She needs some help with learning not to pull on the leash and to learn good house manners, but she is a smart girl and with consistency she will learn. Sarah will need some time to adjust to a new schedule once adopted and needs a patient family or person that will be willing to give her that time and understanding. 3/15/2010

Millie: is a beautiful 2 1/2 year old. She is small in stature weighing in around 67 pounds. She is sweet, rides well in the car and is in search of her forever family. Is Millie the right companion for you? 3/11/2010

Sasha: is a 3 yr old female.  Very sweet girl and loves every.  She is female dominant so will not do well with other female dogs.  May be ok with a larger male dog.  We also want to place her in a home with older kids ages 8 or above as she is a very active and happy girl. 3/10/2010

Hazel: Meet Hazel  DOB 5/5/06 She is an owner surrender,  (due to owners inability to properly care for her) and a real love bug. Her favorite things in life are belly rubs and attention. Treats are taken gently from hands and appreciative kisses returned. She is a " talker". She will answer you if you up to having a conversation with her. She appears to be ok with other dogs though she is curious about cats. She is spayed, all vaccinations have just been updated, she has been wormed twice, and she is micro chipped. I really feel that she would do best in an environment where she gets specific one on one time. Her training is coming along well. She is being housebroken and she walks well on the leash. She ADORES car rides. Do you have room in your heart for a furry love bug named Hazel? 3/7/2010

KC: was found wandering the streets of Brenham, TX near the Knights of Columbus (thus his name).  He was shy and fearful, thin, full of parasites, and scrounging from local trash cans.  A kind animal lover came along, captured him, and has worked diligently to get him in good health, socialized, vaccinated, and neutered.  We aren't sure if KC is really a Saint (who knows what his parents really are), but he is large (47 lbs currently and about 4-5 months old), and has the sweet loving temperament of a Saint.  KC is living outdoors at the moment, so he will need to be taught house manners and potty training, but he is a smart dog, and a quick learner.  He loves attention, and gets along fine with other dogs.  KC has beautiful markings, and will make a wonderful pet for some lucky family! 3/7/2010

Kytan: is a young long hair male. He get's along with other dogs, He needs to be with another dog other wise he will bark non-stop to tell you he wants attention or a playmate. He is very friendly with people, we think he is a mix with maybe a pyrenees but we are not sure. The adoption fee includes all shots, heartworm test, neutering, a Home Again microchip and one night free obedience class in the Reno, Sparks, Carson City and Tahoe areas. 3/5/2010

 

Misha: She is about 4 yrs old, and very sweet. She is a people dog and wants to be with people all the time. She seems house broken. She needs lots of love and attention and would love to watch TV with you! She get's along with Big Dogs only, sorry no small dogs for her! The adoption fee includes all shots, heartworm test, neutering, a Home Again microchip and one night free obedience class in the Reno, Sparks, Carson City and Tahoe areas. 3/5/2010

Magnus: Saint Bernard St. Bernard Male Adult  Extra Large This sweet boy is a 2 year old male St. Bernard who came into our Rescue after a divorce and relocation. His "mom" was unable to keep him because she moved into an apartment so she drove him to our Rescue all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah to make sure he got a new, loving and forever home. Neutered, shots, microchip. 3/4/2010

FLETCHER: Meet our man Fletcher. Neutered, housetrained, vaccinated, HW-negative, and microchipped, Fletch is a longhaired four-year-old fellow who's quite well-behaved. He plays nicely with most other dogs, large or small. However, he hasn't yet met a cat. This boy is not for the faint of heart. He's a true gentle giant who doesn't at all mind climbing into the nearest lap.  And, boy, does he take up a lot of lap! He's a big fan of ear rubs and belly scratches, playing with a ball, and going for walks. And he holds his head up proudly as he walks, almost as if he knows he's a sight to behold. Fletcher's family made the excruciatingly painful decision to bring him to our rescue group when the landlord said "Uh uh. No dogs allowed." Fletch sorely misses his 11-year-old human friend, Brady, and yearns for the companionship of another boy. He loves to be whispered to (and he promises to keep all your secrets). Fletcher will need a traditional fenced yard, perhaps a female dog to play with, and KIDS. Come and meet him -- He'll be your new best friend. 3/1/2010

SUSIE: Three-year-old Susie is a smoothcoat charmer who is vaccinated, microchipped, housetrained, spayed, and HW-negative.  Don't you just love her pretty little white face?  Susie is a positive love-sponge!  Want to cuddle?  She's there.  Go for a ride in the car?  Just try going without her.  Have a treat in your hand?  She's at the ready.  She has the prettiest eyes and she doesn't hesitate to flash them when she wants something.  She's had much too much neglect in her young life and for that reason we'll want her to be the family's only pet so she won't have to share the affection.  Susie's an enthusiastic bundle of energy who will follow you to the ends of the earth (well, as long as you have cheese in your hand).  The ideal adopter will be active, will enjoy taking Miss Susie for walks in the woods, and will have a never-ending supply of cookies.  She'll need a fenced yard, and kids should probably be over age 8. 3/1/2010

Thumper: is a long haired 115 lb. male that is 15 months.  Thumper is a very sweet, loving, mellow dog.  He is extremely good about minding.  He knows all of his basic commands, and enjoys the other dogs and cats in his foster home.   He is wonderful with small children and adults.  He loves going for walks, and is wonderful on a leash.  He does not pull.  This boy needs to go to a home where he will be loved, and be part of the family. 3/1/2010

Julie: My name is Julie and I love to run, play and most of all cuddle on your lap.  I love to take my owners for long walks and I am very good on the leash.  I am three years old and I have lived on a farm in Oregon which has had good points and bad.  It is good because I have lots of room to run.  But when I chase the sheep in the fields I think it is fun but my owners don't think I should do that.  I chase the chickens too, but they don't want me to do that either!  So I have decided to leave the farm life behind and move to the city to live the easy life!  I am looking for an owner with a fenced yard that will take me on walks every day, give me a warm bed and lots of attention and let me chase balls instead of livestock!  I currently live with 2 other dogs and LOVE children!  Can I come be with you? 2/27/2010

Barney: just turned a year old. He is an owner surrender due to time constraints. This handsome boy will need lots of manners training. He is a lover who likes to lean but also wants to jump and play nip. Working with him will require patience and time. 2/26/2010

 

Brandy: is an adult, rough coat (long hair) Saint Bernard. Our vet estimates Brandy to be between 5 and 7 years old. Brandy has had a rough go of it recently. She was surrendered to a shelter extremely neglected and malnourished. It’s quite apparent that Brandy has lost her faith in humans. We’re hoping with some love and TLC we can restore her trust once again. Brandy has a very sweet disposition and is really just a goofy fun loving dog. Brandy’s new family should have saint or giant breed experience. Brandy would do best in a family where someone is home most of the day, no children no other pets and a traditionally, secure fenced yard.  Brandy will need a special family willing to help her open up and blossom into the wonderful, confident dog we know she can be as well as work on her manners. 2/25/2010
Daisy: is an adult rough coat (long hair) Saint Bernard. She was surrendered to a shelter with Brandy, also neglected and malnourished. She is very similar to Brandy in that her faith in people is not so good, she does however want to believe differently. She likes to give kisses and sit in your lap.  She does know some obedience will need a family that will help her with her manners and give her the time and patience she needs to be the great dog we know she can be. Daisy will need a saint or giant breed experienced family, no children, no other pets an  someone who is home much of the day. A traditionally fenced yard is mandatory. 2/25/2010
Nomo: Hi I am Nomo! A wonderful 1.5 year old saint. I am the sweetest girl that you will ever meet. I am completely housebroken. I could use some basic obedience, but I am having a week of board and train and a training session with any adoptive family. I like other dogs, but it takes me a few moments to warm up. I seem to love all people, especially children. I am looking for the right family to love and adore. 2/23/2010

Sammy: is a 2 yo neutered male rough coat. He was taken to a shelter in AL because his owners were moving. We are working on his obedience training. 2/22/2010

Ms. Tillie: is our most recent rescue. Her previous owner is facing charges for neglect. She weighed 46.6 pounds when we got her 1/31/08, Please check back for updates. up to a whomping 70 pounds. She has been spayed and is ready to go home. Update; 3/4/2009 Ms. Tillie has come a long way since her emotional and physical abandonment by her previous owner. She is very quiet and respectful when she comes in the house. She craves attention.  2/22/2010

Rizz: is a wonderful, happy, energetic, playful 1 year old Saint Bernard puppy. She is small and still a bit thin (only 75 lbs) but will probably grow into a 100 to 110 lb Saint. She thinks that she is a lap dog, and is very wiggly. Rizz will be a great dog for any family. She seems to get along well with other dogs and is curious about cats (though she is learning about their claws!) Rizz has tested negative for heartworms and will be spayed and ready for her new home very soon. 2/22/2010

MURPHY: and TOBY: (Murphy has the narrow blaze; Toby has more white between his eyes.)  These two handsome critters recently came into Rescue through no fault of their own and are looking for their forever home.  Both are neutered, current on vaccinations, HW-negative, microchipped and housetrained.  They're BIG boys who will need a Saint- or giant-breeed-experienced adopter.  (Both boys are pretty convinced that leashes are things you use to pull your owner down the street.)  Toby just turned six years old and Murphy's three. They're delightful, friendly boys who have lived with kids as young as toddlers, and for their size they're amazingly gentle with youngsters.  They play nicely with cats (though Murphy can occasionally be a touch rough with them).  They know some basic commands (sit, lie down, give it), and they're generally well-behaved. Toby is a big teddy bear.  He's a huge fan of peanut butter, going for car rides and playing with a tug rope.  He's not crazy about thunder and generally heads for a quiet corner til the big bad scary storm passes.  What a wimp. Murphy's more adventurous.  He's smart, and he's also a goofball with a keen sense of humor.  He'll definitely provide much comic relief for the family. They're impressive boys who are generally healthy, and both are at an appropriate weight for their height and skeletal structure.  However, Toby has developed some arthritis in one hip (haven't we all?) but daily glucosamine tablets are providing the relief he needs.  Periodically, usually when it's cold and damp, we give him a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication called Deramaxx. Down the road he'll likely need a mild pain reliever on a more regular basis. Our goal is to keep Murphy and Toby together if possible because they've always been together and they rely on each other.  Since Toby's close to officially becoming a "Saintly Senior", and because we consider him somewhat of a special-needs dog, the adoption fee will be reduced for the family willing to adopt and keep both boys.  What could be better than TWO Saints?  (As the old Wrigley gum commercial sang, "Double your pleasure, double your fun ....")  The ideal home will include a traditional fenced yard, perhaps kids, and lots of toys. Got room on your sofa for the two fellows?  Don't miss a chance to come and meet them. 2/19/2010

Bubba 2: is a 14 month old male that is also in line to be neutered soon.  He's an out of town guy that was rescued and brought to the big city. He was also kept in the backyard in his former life and would like a family to let him in so he can share his love.  His manners are good, he gets along with the other saints and he is a love. 2/19/2010

Jonah: is a 2 yo neutered male rough coat. He was rescued from a shelter in Al. This guy is very playful and sweet. 2/18/2010

Lilly: is a very sweet Saint who has had a terrible start to life. When we rescued Lilly from the shelter, she was infested with parasites and was very emaciated. She had Sarcoptic Mange, a staph infection of the skin, a yeast infection in both ears, ear mites, intestinal parasites, and was infested with both ticks and fleas. In spite of all of this, she craves human attention. She is gentle and wants to please. She is housebroken and crate trained. Lilly gets along well with other dogs and cats. However, she does have a habit of raiding the trash can if she can get to it, probably a result of being starved. Lilly is current on all vaccines and will be spayed soon. She has tested negative for heartworms, and we believe she is about 2 years old. 2/18/2010

Roscoe: is a neutered male Saint, somewhere between the ages of 3-5 years. He is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. Roscoe has tested lightly positive for heartworms. He likes to play with other dogs, but does not do well with cats. Roscoe is sweet and loves attention. He is in the process of being housebroken. He also needs some work on leash training, as he is very strong for being so underweight (only 103 lbs right now). 2/16/2010

River: What a handsome boy! River is a 3 yr. old shorthaired St. Bernard with one blue eye! He was rescued from the local high kill shelter because his family lost their home and could not keep him. River is a strong boy and does need some basic obedience training to be better on a leash and respond to command. 2/15/2010

He has a comical side that will crack you up complete with eyebrow lift,  head tilt, and dorky expression. To know him is to love him. He craves attention and is extremely loyal. Laying on your feet is a great past time for him (makes a warm pair of slippers) He would do best with larger size dogs due to his need to play. He is neutered and his vaccinations are current. He has been wormed and has been micro chipped. He loves to go for car rides and walks. He is doing well on leash. Has been started housebreaking. With the right training and loving attention Frank will make a fabulous pet and companion animal for the right person. Is that you? 2/14/2010

Shadow had a skin issue when he was turned in. His skin is recovering well. He was turned into Rescue due to financial problems of the owner. He would be a very loyal companion to a family who will give him the attention he deserves. Remember he is a puppy and does get into things. He will eventually grow out of it. He needs to go to a home with no children. 2/4/2010

Rose: is a 3 yo Saint/ Walker hound mix. She is a very friendly dog. She's great in the house. 2/3/2010

ANNIE: Meet our Miss Annie.  No doubt about it, she'll steal your heart the minute you meet her.  Though she's a purebred Saint, she's compact (maybe just the right size for a first-time Saint adopter??).  But don't let her size fool you -- She's got the heart and the energy of a dog twice her size.  We're working on helping her develop leash manners.  Annie's 18 months old.  She's spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, housetrained, and HW-negative.  As a baby she had an eye disorder called "cherry eye".  It was surgically corrected and had no impact on her vision.  (We swear she can find cookies blindfolded.)  Annie plays nicely with other dogs but hasn't yet met a cat. The ideal home will include a fenced yard, a canine playmate, kids over age 6 or 7, and an adopter committed to completing formal obedience training with Annie.  Saint experience will be a definite plus. Don't let this little charmer slip through your fingers. 2/2/2010

LuLu: Hey you, I’m Lulu. I’m a 6-year old rough coat and I’m here because I am looking for a new home. My previous owners could no longer keep me and they turned me over to this rescue. I used to live in a home with other dogs as well as children and can do so again. I am however selective in choosing my friends, it is a woman’s prerogative you know. I think I would be ok in a home with children 6-years old or older. I am house trained and I do know some basic commands; that will make getting to know one another easier. These wonderful folks here at the rescue say that I could stand to lose a pound or two so will you take me walking? I love to go on walks abound the park or even the neighborhood, that would bond us together even more than our time at home. I would be a perfect fit for your family if you choose me. And if you choose me I will show you how to play ball as I am an expert! 2/1/2010

Belle: is a 7 1/2 year old long haired girl. Very loving with people, is tolerant of children. She wants to be the dominant female, and would be happier being the only female. but likes all the large male dogs she has been around in foster. Belle does not get along with cats, she will chase them.  Belle is house trained, and likes to go for walks, but that's all the outside she is interested in. A nice bed or better yet a cuddle on the couch, and Belle is in her own heaven! 2/1/2010

Tucker: is about a year old-recently neutered, and sweet as can be! He was found as a stray, but is already housebroken and well mannered, so at some time in his past, he was a family pet.  He has no obedience training, but doesn't seem to have any real bad habits either.  He loves to play with other dogs, and shows little interest in cats. He loves to ride in the car.  Tucker may have been abused, as he is rather head shy and timid around new people. 1/29/2010

Dixie: Well hello there. My name is Dixie. I am a rough coat with what I think you humans call a split mantle. I also have a partial mask which makes it easy for me to hide from you when we play hide and seek. I love the outdoors, walking on the sidewalk and long walks on the beach, what girl doesn’t, right? Now my last owner really thought I loved the outdoors sooo much that he always had me riding in the back of his pickup truck. Now, being a rough coat, it gets a bit warm for me especially when the sun is out. Well this wonderful lady followed us and when she had a chance se spoke with my owner explaining that it was a bit hot for me, bless her soul. She said that if he ever wanted to get rid of me to call her. I knew he wouldn’t, he loved me. Well as the story goes, he called her the next day. I was abused in my past but we won’t talk about that, it’s all behind me now. I am current on my rabies shot and I am on heart worm meds and frontline. I am a very loving animal, really I am. I mean I didn’t hurt the lady that rescued me one bit. I believe that I am about two years old and as such I am a bit active.  When my savior gets home I am so happy that I jump and am ready to play. I do get along with other dogs but sometimes I like to be the boss. 1/29/2010

Carson: is a very sweet gentle dog., about 2-3 yrs old. He came into our program as a stray. The shelter says he gets along with cats. He does get along with other big dogs. He has had all his shots and is heart worm free. He does dig so he needs a strong fenced yard but he would rather be inside your home.

Emma: This sweet 8 month old girl came to us after her owners could no longer afford to care for her. She is great with other dogs, cats, and children. She would be best in a home with children over 5 years of age as she is still a growing silly puppy who does not know her own size. She is very lovable and enjoys playing with her toys and her foster siblings. For more information on how you can make Emma a part of your family, please contact us. 1/24/2010

Hallie: This sweet gal, estimated to be about 12 weeks old, came to us along with her brother, Harlow, after they were found abandoned in a carrier outside of an animal shelter. They were pretty sick when we took them in but soon nursed them back to health! They are wonderful little pups, believed to be Saint Bernard mixes of some sort. They get along well with other dogs and would be good in a home with young children. Proof of completion of an obedience class will be a mandatory clause in the adoption contract. 1/24/2010

Rascal: 1 year old, long haired male.  Rascal is the brother of Thumper.  The 2 of them came down together.  Rascal is full of energy, likes to be loved.  He enjoys being outside, but has to be watched, as he likes to dig, and has jumped the fence.  Rascal is the alpha male.  He is good with children.  He cannot be around farm animals.  He is a very sweet boy who deserves a loving home. 1/24/2010

CAMEO: Cameo is Sky's daughter. She's 3 years old, shorthaired, vaccinated, heartworm-negative, housetrained and microchipped. She's scheduled to be spayed in a few days and then will be ready to charm the socks off some lucky family. Though quite thin at present, once she packs on some much-needed weight, boy, then will she be impressive! Her feet are like dinner plates and the size of that head, well, think basketball. Cam's markings are interesting She has a half mask on her face, and patches of white fur on her ear flaps (referred to as "hospice ears" after the Hospice of Saint Bernard in Switzerland, an incredibly beautiful place in the Swiss Alps where the Saint Bernard originated). Cammy is amazingly gentle with kids of all ages. She plays nicely with other dogs and with cats. She's a big fan of dog cookies and tummy rubs. Her very favorite place is right there on the couch with her humans, usually with her head in someone's lap. Don't miss a chance to meet pretty Cameo. She won't disappoint.  We'd prefer a fenced yard for her, and Saint experience will be a definite plus. 1/24/2010

Sugar: is a longhaired female approx 2-3 yrs old.   She's very sweet and wants her forever home. She was a stray so we don't know a whole lot about her. Would prefer a home with older children. Not sure how she is with other dogs or cats, but she is definitely a people person dog. 1/22/2010

Taylor is a super sweet girl- she's lacking a bit in the obedience department and needs to lose a little weight but will make some lucky family very happy.

Ben: is a very large rough coat Saint, about 6 years old.  He has not had good care, coming into rescue as a heartworm positive stray at least 50 lbs underweight, with horrible ear infections, to the point that he was almost deaf.  However, his ears are now better (he CAN hear, at least when he "wants" to), and he is slowly gaining weight.  Ben is housebroken, and non-destructive (although he does like to collect his human's items sometimes and take them out the doggie door and "store" them for his family (but never chewing anything up!).  Ben gets along fine with other dogs-large and small.  He adores children, and is truly a gentle giant.  He has a massive, beautiful masked face, and the best temperament ever, even considering his neglectful past.  He would love nothing more than to find a family to call "his own". 1/17/2010

Pygmalion "Pyg": is a 9 mo old neutered rough coat. His owners turned him in because they were moving to Alaska and could not take him. He's in definite need of some etiquette lessons. We are working on his food and cat manners. Since he is a puppy, his adopter must have previous Saint ownership experience. 1/17/2010

Jack:-  Jack is approximately 3 years old.  His owner died and he was turned into the pound, he was adopted out and then returned.  He needs someone committed to giving him a permanent home.  Look for a photo and more info to come in the near future as Jack is in transition from pound dog to foster dog. 1/16/2010

 

Berkley: is a rough coat male saint.  He is approx 2-3 years old.  He needs a home where he is not overstimulated by lots of sounds and action or he becomes overexcited. He wants to be right with you all the time and will show you lots of love and attention.  His ideal home has no kids (he likes them but they are too overstimulating), no cats, and probably no other dogs (he would need to meet your dog). He needs an obedience class to learn how to better channel his energy.  He will run if off leash so he will need a home with a fenced yard.  Berkley is beautiful and loving and looking for a committed person to give him a stable home where he can settle in. 1/16/2010

Keisha:  Short haired female.  Approximately 3 years old.  Keisha was given up by an older couple who has health issues and felt they wouldn't be able to care for her.  Keisha is a very nice dog who will attach herself to you.  She is a dominant female, but gets along with the males and females in her foster home.  She also gets along great with the cats.  Because she is so strong, she would need to go to a home where there are no small children.  She enjoys going for walks, and absolutely loves riding in a car.  She does pretty good on a leash, but will pull at first when she walks. 1/10/2010
