Truffles-URGENT Truffles is urgent because she cannot stay in her foster home for much longer. She is the SWEETEST dog who needs a quiet, adult-only home who can teach her confidence, hang out with her, and enjoy her company! Her foster-dog brother has started to develop extreme fear of thunderstorms and his anxiety is starting to rub off on the other dogs in the home. We do NOT want Truffles to develop this fear (she does not have it now) and need to get her into a permanent home asap. Truffs would be fantastic for an older couple, and an adult who works from home. She is much more comfortable with women (but could get used to men, provided the man is willing to give her some time. She is just nervous and has probably had some bad experiences in the past with some less-than-upstanding gentleman). She is a love of a dog who deserves another chance — and believe me, she will repay you in spades with love! CLICK HERE to read more on Truffles and visit her PetFinder Page

Bella-URGENT Born on February 26, 2007, Bella is listed as urgent because she is loosing her current foster home. Bella is a very loving dog to her family and visitors, but does not live successfully with female dogs of any size or cats. She does fine with male dogs who are 50 lbs or larger. Bella is currently 48 pounds and loves her human caregiver more than anything in life. Bella is an affectionate girl who was misunderstood by her first family, who thought she’d train herself if confined to a crate most of the time. Her foster mom has done a terrific job training Bella, and Bella is now happy, healthy, outgoing and ready to be a loyal friend for you. And she’s prettier than her pictures, too. Bella’s foster mom is delighted to report that Bella has made some big breakthroughs in obedience training and is 100% with her house training! Her recall has is very, very good. She also loves to play with other dogs. Bella is ready to make someone a wonderful family pet! Because she is in need of URGENT placement, please contact Adele at lonepine_ahr@yahoo.com directly.
