LABS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

	Tarrie- DOB Color: Black Maggie and Tarrie came to Georgetown Animal Outreach after their owner's life ended suddenly. It's been hard for them and we're trying to keep them together if possible. Maggie is a lovely adult purebred (we think) black labrador retriever - probably 8 years old. She is Tarrie's mom. Tarrie is four or five years old and seems to be mostly black lab, but with a bit of a mix in her. Both are spayed, utd on vaccinations, HW free (and on preventative), housebroken, quiet, and just lovebugs. These two gals came in together and we're hoping to place them together since they are very attached, but realize that might not be feasible. If you can help with either or both of them, please contact Georgetown Animal Outreach at txcodigirl@gmail.com and we'll give you more information.

	Willow- DOB ~5/1/05 Color: Black Willow is a lovely, easy-going black English-style lab in appearance that is healthy and happy. She appears to be about 3 years old and will be current with all of her vaccinations at the time of adoption. She was found roaming the streets with no tags. She really wants to have a family of her own so she can get all of the attention. She knows how to sit (very well) and stay (mostly). She has a tail that seems to wag all the time. She would much rather stay by you than chase a ball. She seems to get along with other dogs, as well. She is housetrained (a HUGE bonus!). For more information, please e-mail marthamiles@sbcglobal.net.

	Leah- DOB ~5/15/03 Color: Chocolate Leah is a female mix who is 5 years old and weighs about 60 lbs. She is being fostered in a home in San Antonio after she was rescued by SNIPSA from San Antonio's Animal Care Facility. Leah had been owner-surrendered at ACS because she caught her hind leg in a fence and injured herself, so her owners were discarding her. SNIPSA treated Leah for her injury, which included having to amputate two of her toes on that paw, and she is now doing great and doesn't miss her toes at all! In her SNIPSA foster home, Leah has become an indoor dog. She has wonderful house manners and she's doing great on potty training. While Leah does love to play with the other dogs in her foster home, she is somewhat more laid back, so much of the time she just enjoys watching the action from the sidelines. She does love her dog toys and her favorite ball. Leah is great with children and is just a little curious about cats. An ideal new home for Leah would be one where she would be given lots of love, attention and understanding. Her adoption fee includes her spay, microchip, vaccinations, physical examination, and treatment for internal and external parasites. She is current on heartworm prevention. For adoption information, please send an e-mail to Shawna at snip_sa05@yahoo.com

	Bella- DOB ~1/1/06 Color: Black Bella is a beautiful female black lab. She is about 2 1/2 years old and weighs 50lbs. She is currently being fostered at Hill Country Pet Ranch. She is a super sweet girl that loves people! She is not, however, great with other dogs. We have a trainer that is working with her on that, but she would probably do best in a home where she is an only dog. She just wants all of the attention for herself! She is great with children and slept with a 10 year old in her previous foster home. She really wants a family of her own. She is a very loyal dog and truly lives up to the term "man's best friend." She also loves to play ball. Although she loves to spend time indoors, she will need a secure, 6 ft. fenced yard at her new home. Bella does have some skin issues that have just developed and we are working on them. We think they may be allergy related. If so, they are very easy to treat. Bella is current on her vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. If you would like to meet Bella, please contact Amanda at a_digman@yahoo.com.

	Bruiser- DOB ~4/15/06 Color: Chocolate Bruiser came to ACS as a stray, and when nobody came looking for him, it looked as though he was doomed to loose his life after 72 hours. But this chocolate boy with the big soulful eyes kept on pawing his way into the hearts at the kennel attendants and so they moved him from one building into another, in hopes of finding him safe haven. Bruiser must have been hit by a car in his former life and has some facial paralysis, which gives him no discomfort but adds to his charm. He is a typical chocolate Lab, full of energy and a zest for life, he loves to play with his fourlegged friends, but his biggest wish is to be the faithful companion to his very own human. If interested in Bruiser please contact Amanda at: a_digman@yahoo.com

	Bailey- DOB ~6/1/06 Color: Chocolate Bailey is a 2 year old, female, Chocolate Lab who weighs about 70 lbs. She is a great dog and super sweet. She was first rescued from San Antonio's Animal Care Facility. She was adopted by a family and lived with them for a few months. Unfortunately, she had to be returned to SNIPSA because the family's standard poodle was aggressive towards her. She is a great dog and has no known behavioral issues. She is currently being fostered at Hill Country Pet Ranch. She is a favorite with all of the kennel workers! Bailey is spayed, current on vaccinations and microchipped. If you would like to meet her, please contact Amanda at a_digman@yahoo.com

	Stanford- DOB Color: Black Big Stan" came to SNIPSA in November of 2007. He was picked up by Animal Care Services from the streets of San Antonio. He is a wonderful dog and everyone that knows him doesn't understand why he has not been adopted yet. He has been in foster care for a while now and really needs to find a forever home. Stanford is a lovable, smart and obedient dog. He is good with most other dogs, but needs to be able to be the dominant dog in the group. He'd do best in a home that has an active younger dog that he can play tug-of-war and chase with. He does not do well with smaller dogs. He also doesn't care for cats. He does however, do very well with children, even younger ones. In his foster home there is a 4 year old that he adores. He is also well-mannered. He doesn't jump up, he knows "sit", "down", "back", "out" and "stay". He also knows his name and comes when called. He loves car rides, swimming and walks. He walks well on a gentle leader leash and will stay right beside you. He is very loyal and seems to prefer men. He loves to retrieve sticks and balls and is learning to return them. He is also crate trained, house trained and knows how to use a doggy door. Stanford participated in the recent Fiesta Flambeau Parade's Vanguard section and had the time of his life! He did well on his leash and enjoyed all the Fiesta cheer. He was eager to meet and greet all the parade patrons. He especially enjoyed the bus ride with many other canine rescues cruising to the parade site. Stanford is neutered, current on his vaccinations and, of course, microchipped. Stanford will make someone a wonderful pet! He has been in foster care longer than any other dog at SNIPSA, if you would like to meet this big, handsome boy, please contact Amanda at a_digman@yahoo.com

	Pipsqueak- DOB Color: Yellow Pipsqueak is a 1 1/2 year old spayed and microchipped mix. She's a medium-sized girl at 60 lbs. Pipsqueak is good with kids, but a little rough with cats. She loves to play and is good with other dogs as long as she has a bit of time to get to know them. She loves having her belly loved and going for long walks. She's quite good on a leash and loves attention from her humans. She's very sweet and is looking for a new home because her owners are a military family and are being restationed in July. Please contact Kelly Madden at maddenkw@gmail.com for more information.

	Chaser- DOB ~5/15/04 Color: Black Hello. My name is Chaser. I am looking for a new family to love. My previous mom thought that my special needs were going to be too much trouble so she brought me back to the shelter. I don?t understand why, but my friends here have told me that I?m a gentleman and someone will be very grateful to have me. I am 4 years old. I?ve already been neutered and I don?t make any messes in the house. I know sit, down, come and I?ll even sometimes shake your hand. I love to play with children of all ages, as well as other dogs and cats. I like to make friends wherever I go. I enjoy taking my Phenobarbital with peanut butter or canned food. (My medication is not super expensive?.you would only have to spare about $5 a month for it.) I do have to have a pill twice a day but I will love you forever if you brought me home today! For more information on Chase, please call Brenda or Sarah at 765-474-5222.

	Cassidy (aka Momma)- DOB ~7/15/03 Color: Black As her alias implies, Cassidy is the mother to our litter of 8 puppies born January 13th of this year. She is a 4 year old about 50 pound spayed lab mix. She is heartworm negative, on heartworm and flea preventative, and current on all shots. Cassidy has been through a lot, and through it all she maintained the sweetest personality and high spirits. She does well other dogs, but she's not fully confirmed with cats and would need to be tested and do a trial to see if she and the cat(s) would settle down and get along or not. Cassidy is located in Baton Rouge, LA. For more information, please contact Christie Cooke or Dr. Schneider at JCAH@cox.net

	Sophie- DOB ~12/1/06 Color: Black SUPER SOPHIE! My foster parents say I am wonderful. I am great with other dogs, kids of all ages, and even cats. I don't even mind those silly cats rubbing up against me. Foster mom says I am housetrained, but yummy food on the countertops is still a little more temptation than I can ignore. "What?" I say, "I thought it was all for me!" Mom says "we're working on it," whatever that means. I'm have an overall lovable Lab personality -- you know, that bubbly, fun, friendly kinda girl. I would like a home with a fenced yard. Some occasional outings would be super as I like meeting new people and doing things. I am spayed and current on vaccinations and heartworm prevention.

	Megan- DOB ~5-8 yrs old Color: Yellow This fun-loving lab will play as much as you want. She's very friendly, but is not used to being indoors so she'll need some patience if you want her to be indoors a lot. She is heartworm positive and has mammory gland tumors, so she will require medical attention. She has $200 of donation money to help cover her medical costs. The Weatherford, TX shelter where she's being held can also help with transport. We're all just so crazy about her because of how well she behaves and how she is always so cheerful.

	Max- DOB Est. 6/1/05 Color: Black Max is a Lab mix boy who was found dumped in the country with his littermates when they were pups. He's grown up in an outdoor shelter/kennel environment, but he has a nice, gentle personality and should be able to integrate into a family home if someone is willing to work with him and give him a chance. Max is a little bow legged in the back, but his vet said it isn't a problem, and doesn't appear to cause pain. Max enjoys other dogs and likes to play with his roommate Bonnie, an older Lab mix. So far, Max has loved everyone he's ever met. Max is neutered and current on vaccinations and heartworm prevention.

	Stormy- DOB Est. 1/29/02 Color: Black I am Stormy. I am an active and playful, yet gentle dog. I have lived indoors before, but am currently living in the shelter with my new friend Nugget. I enjoy playing with Nugget, and he helps me cope with missing my family and the indoor life of watching TV and hanging out with my friends. I have had some basic obedience training and really enjoyed going to the classes. I wouldn?t be hard to housetrain since I have lived indoors before. I am an intelligent girl and a fast learner. I'm a cute, little bit short and stout girl, so I'm more of a medium size for my breed. Do you have a place in your heart and home for me, so I can live the family life I was accustomed to? I get along with other dogs and might be okay with cats. Older, dog-savvy children should be okay. Stormy is spayed and current on vaccinations and heartworm prevention.

	Bonnie- DOB Est. 10/31/99 Color: Black Don't let my gray hair fool you; I still have a lot of life and love to give, but without being high maintenance. True, I'm not the party girl I once was, but that's a good thing because now I'm mature and settled. I like the occasional romp in the sun, but I'm mostly looking for some laid back Golden years and human companionship. I get along with other dogs, too. Right now, I live in an outdoor shelter but would so love to be curled up in the house by your side. We could take occasional walks, and maybe share a snack every now and then. I'm a nice, quiet girl, but I am loyal and would let you know when a stranger is lurking around outside. If you have a place in your heart and home for me, I sure would love to share my sweet smile with you and hang out in the a/c chatting about the wild ways of our youth. Bonnie is spayed and current on vaccinations and heartworm prevention. She has no known health issues.

	Hollie- DOB Est. 9/30/99 Color: Black HOLLIE IS WONDERFUL. We don't know for sure what breed mixes Hollie is, but she has a longish, full black coat and a very sweet, bubbly, kind, people-loving personality like that of a Retriever/Aussie/Lab type. She's quiet, laid back, easy going, and most content when hanging out with her people doing whatever they're doing. She loves her people! Hollie gets along great with other dogs and enjoys their company. She has also lived with a cat in the past, so she'd probably be fine with a dog-savvy cat. When left alone in the yard for extended periods in the past, Hollie has been known to dig out in search of companionship and her people, so she may enjoy the company of another dog in her new home and should be supervised initially. Hollie is housetrained, well-mannered, and will make an easy, loving addition to most any family. Hollie is spayed and current on vaccinations and heartworm prevention. She eats Science Diet food and is healthy. Click here to complete the adoption questionnaire (link at the top of the page) and email it to: kim@dogsrus.org .

	Furry- DOB Est. 5/15/04 Color: Black Furry is still waiting for his own home! He was part of a litter brought to the vet clinic at 5 days of age with no mom. The kind, caring office manager bottle fed them all until they were able to eat on their own and find new homes. Furry is more docile and laid back than your typical Border Collie. He's just a good-ole-boy still hopeful that sweet, black dogs do find loving homes! He would love to meet you, and show you what a nice boy he is and all he has to offer.

He is very kind and gentle. He is not hyper and doesn't jump on you for attention. He gets along well with other dogs. Harley has not been around kids, so a home with no young children will be best. He and his littermates were playing in the middle of a busy road when they were rescued as pups. Even though Harley has primarily grown up in an outdoor shelter environment and not been exposed or socialized much otherwise, he has a confident, friendly, well-adjusted personality.

	Rocco- DOB Est. 9/30/03 Color: Black Rocco is ready to roll! He has the cutest facial expressions with his intent, round eyes! Rocco loves to dunk his whole muzzle in his water bucket and would probably love a good swim! Rocco was a backyard dog when he was left behind by his sorry people who moved and left him in his yard with 4 ft. weeds and no food or water. Despite this, Rocco is still a fun-loving, Lab boy! Rocco is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs. He is easy going and submissive. Rocco still lives outdoors in the shelter environment, but would SO love to have a true forever family to call his own! He likes to talk to you when asking for attention. He would make a very loyal companion and watch dog. This is a nice and handsome boy who just needs someone to spend some time with him fine-tuning the skills he never had a chance to work on.

Shadow gets along well with other dogs and has an overall pleasant personality and demeanor. She will make an excellent companion for anyone willing to spend a little time teaching her some basics.
