This is Kady, a 1 year old queensland
heeler/??? She is very loving and playfull. She is a big girl (60lbs)
and thinks she is a lap dog. She is good with my cats and is good with
dogs. She does like to dig and chew on everything. I adoped her from my
local shelter. I hope that every one out there that is looking for a companion
dog goes to their local shelter to get a friend and to save a pet's life.
You are their last chance. 
Chi-chi is our littlest dog. She is about
1 1/2 yrs old now and we found him in the road near our house. Obviously,
by her name, she is part Chihuahua. She loves to ride in the car,
sit on my desk while I'm on the computer, tunnel under the covers when
I'm in bed and playfully tries to stick her tongue up your nose faster
than you can stop her. Parent: Lynn
Ruffles
is Chi-chi's sister and possibly a chihuahua and papillon (?) mix.
She is more adventuresome than Chi and it took a while to train her not
to squeeze through the fence to investigate the neighbor's yard. She wants
to play unceasingly with her sister and grabs her by the tail and hangs
on. Of course Chi whirls around to grab hers...they look like a black
wheel going round and round. Here she is investigating the camera...she's
a real corker! Parent: Lynn
Taco
Bell was found in a ditch along with Jojo. She was about nine months then.
She's the leader of the pack around here and Daddy's little girl. She
looks and acts as if she has some Jack Russell in her. She's also
the smartest one in the bunch (we have 10!). She likes to sit gopher-style
in your lap and if you say the word "rabbit", she shrieks and screams
like you're killing her. She does that when she gets excited and happy.
She just adores children and wants to make a bee-line for them whenever
she sees them. She's very gentle and loving with them. Parent: Lynn
Joline
was found in a ditch along with Taco Bell. She is beagle-sized
with very thick, crooked and bowed legs, so we think she also has some
bassett hound in her. She is my lazy pillow-princess. Her favorite
things to do are eat and lay on the pillow next to mine. She is very gentle
and will lay down to be petted when anyone pays attention to her. She
just wants to lay on her pillow and be loved whenever it comes her way.
Parent: Lynn
Cujo
is a Mama's boy. He is obviously part chow, but what else is anyone's
guess. He is a woman's dog and very gentle with our other pets. He will
lay on the floor and let the little dogs use him as a rug. Another of
our larger dogs lays in front of him and insists he clean her ears. He
is very devoted. He is not aggressive with strangers, but is leery of
most men at first. Parent: Lynn
Fluffy
was born in our laundry room to a pregnant beagle we rescued the week
before. She was one of nine and the only one we couldn't find a home for.
When she was a baby, I'd make kissy noises under her ear on her cheek.
Now, when she wants some loving, she pushes her cheek against your face
to get her kisses. Her mom was a small beagle, but dad?...wow,
he must have been a big, black dude because she is three times the size
of mama and you'd never know she had any beagle in her at all. Parent:
Lynn 
T-Bone
(T-T, for short), is another of our rescued beagle's babies. We
found a home for him, but was brought back because he was hanging onto
the baby's diapers. They thought he was "mean". T-Bone was only being a baby himself and playing. He's extremely gentle and loves to drape himself across your lap. Don't know what his father was, but he must have been big, cause T-T is four times the size of his mama. The only thing of hers that he has inherited is a small ridge of reverse hair on the top of his nose that runs between his eyes. Parent: Lynn
Stubby
is so crazy...she is half greyhound and I rescued her from our
shelter when she was four mos. old. A pitbull in the next cage had just
bitten the end of Stubby's tail off and they were going to put her down
because she was just a stray. She races around our fenced in several acres
and playfully but gently teases our other dogs by racing around them,
knowing they can't keep up with her. Her favorite friend is our littlest
dog, Chi-chi, whom she lets "beat her up". Parent: Lynn
This
is my Shelby. I rescued her from the local animal shelter. She is a labrador/german
shepherd mix, but is more lab than anything. She loves to play fetch
and keep-away. She is a very friendly dog, both with people and with other
dogs. She's never shown agression towards me or anyone else, unless you're
walking on "her property" (she is an excellent watch dog - barks, never
bites). I've taken her on vacation with me the past two years and we've
gone to the beach both times. She just loves to go swimming in the ocean!
