Faith

Faith is a beautiful 5 yr old black female with natural ears and a docked tail. "Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light." ~Helen Keller. This is a very apt quote considering Miss Faith's world was turned upside down when her owners had to regrettably surrender her due to financial hardship. This sweet stable girl has taken her life change in stride and with the help of her foster mom, has had a seamless transition into foster care. Faith was a much loved and adored family member and lived harmoniously with several other dogs in her previous home. She does not have a history with cats. Faith is a definite snuggler, never venturing far from her humans, staying glued to their side most of the time. She has a decent vocabulary that could be easily expanded. She knows the following requests: sit, down, and outside. Faith has impeccable household manners and sleeps through the night in her crate. Faith actually enjoys her crate and appreciates the security it provides, so for her benefit and pleasure, we strongly suggest that she be provided with a crate for her "safe spot".

Her favorite activity is to lounge and relax with her head resting on her human's lap. She's a quirky dog, although not a barker, she does "talk" at the TV anytime a dog, deer, emu or bird comes on the screen. Faith is a very balanced mature girl who would adapt to about any household. She is at that ideal age where she is ready to play or go for a walk on a moment's notice, but also has a reliable "off" switch and enjoys a leisurely afternoon nap on the sofa with her people.

Heidi

Heidi, aka Sleeping Beauty, is a 3-4 yr old red female with cropped ears and a docked tail. Heidi came to us from a shelter where she was picked up as a stray. It was apparent she had recently whelped a litter and was in rough physical shape. At first we thought this drowsy sweet girl was catching up on her beauty sleep after her whole shelter ordeal, but nope! This girl just likes to nap... a lot. She is a very quiet and polite lady. Heidi is very stable and balanced, nothing really throws her off her game. She takes things in stride, nothing seems to rattle her: loud noises and other animals are all AOK with Heidi. She currently shares her home and sofa with a male Doberman and they are very good friends. She is crate trained but really does not require it. HMDD fosters always crate their fosters during their time with us as it sets the dog up to succeed as they transition into their new and improved life. Heidi appreciates attention but she is not overly clingy and is definitely not underfoot as some Dobermans tend to be. We have no idea about the scarring on her face, but she harbors no emotional scars from whatever caused them. She is not hand shy nor is she afraid of people or other dogs. Heidi will continue to flourish in about any household as long as her new family does not want an overly active dog. She has impeccable house manners.

Jada

Jada has continued to blossom in her foster home. She is now 14 months old and is learning more and more with every passing day. Her favorite activity is her daily walk. She is now up to 1.5-2 miles per day and is doing well. Jada is like a sponge, taking everything in. She does need a fenced yard in order to keep her safe and her curiosity in check. Jada is very treat motivated and has proven to be a quick learner. We suggest someone with either working breed experience or someone with a good sense of humor. Like most smart young dogs, Jada will keep you on your toes!For example, if she wants to play and her person wants to nap or relax, she would be best placed in her crate. If not, Jada has been known to recruit her unwilling owner in a game of "Chase Me" precipitated by stealing a towel or sweatshirt nearby. She's a smart comical girl who will quickly worm her way into hearts of her new family. She absolutely loves the company of other dogs. We have not tested her with small dogs. She gets nervous around small children and cannot live with cats due to her prey drive.

Lexi

Lexi is a 6 yr old black female with natural ears and a docked tail. Lexi has been in extended foster care with us while we addressed her urinary tract issues. Luckily for her, Columbus is home to an expert veterinarian who specializes in all things related to the canine urinary tract! This Summer, Lexi underwent a surgery to re-route some of her plumbing. She is now fully recovered and is looking for a forever home. The best way to describe Lexi is as a "Nanny Dog". This patient soul has been the babysitter of countless foster siblings. Lexi has taught all of them the ropes! From 12 week old puppies to 8 month old punks to grumpy seniors, Lexi has handled them all with grace, patience, and the occasional well deserved gentle correction. Lexi has the temperament of a saint. She also has impeccable house manners. Saint Lexi would prefer a home with her own yard since one of her favorite past-times is to lounge in the sun. She is at that ideal age when her "On/Off" switch works perfectly, ready to chase a ball on a moment's notice but also knows how to enjoy a nice long afternoon nap. Lexi is a loyal, loving companion who yearns for her own forever home.

Ruckus

Ruckus, as defined by Merriam Webster: a noisy fight or disturbance. Well, our Ruckus is the antithesis of that! This 5 yr old blue boy is tranquility personified, or dogified if that's a word. Ruckus came to us after his owner passed away. He is enjoying the quiet peaceful second phase of life with his loving foster mom. He enjoys his daily walks and runs, being the perfect gentleman while passing cats, dogs, ducks, bikes and other runners. He is very non-reactive but can get nervous, timid, and scared if approached by dominant or feisty dogs. Ruckus knows a plethora of requests: sit, stay, come, look, find the ball, "no", heel, gimme kisses... He is one easy boy: Ruckus doesn't enter the kitchen, has impeccable manners in the house and does not need to be crated while left unattended. He is permitted on the furniture and enjoys lounging with his people on the sofa. He is extremely loyal and VERY Velcro. During both of his Holiday parties he attended, he was the bee's knees with all of the guests. Making sure to spend equal amounts of time soliciting attention from each and every attendee.

Ruckus did not have a stable home in his first life so he does get very nervous and scared if there is yelling or screaming or someone exhibiting aggressive tendencies. He's a sweet gentle soul who is looking for a serene home who can appreciate his kind and giving heart. No young children, please, due to their level of excitement. Teen children would be fine. Ruckus does not appreciate car rides, he gets very stressed when the car stops moving. Ruckus is not looking to be an over the road travel companion.
