Wednesday Adoptables–Meet Xander!!

in Adopt / adoptables / Barks and Blooms / foster / Lab-Rescue.org / rescue / sponsor / Wednesday Adoptables / Xander  by May 15, 2013

This week we are highlighting the Most Excellent Xander who is available for adoption from Lab-Rescue.  There are many labs there who can be fostered and adopted; or if you can’t do those, you can sponsor!  Give them a call at  (301) 299-6756.


Xander is a 4 year old neutered black male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm positive; Lab Rescue will pay for his treatment. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 45 lbs. He knows some commands including sit and is working on down but would benefit from some additional training. He walks ok on a lead but does better with an EZ Walk harness. He is gentle and friendly and adores people.

Update from Xander’s foster family:

Xander has settled in nicely here. He loves to play with my two labs and has good house manners. He is housebroken and crate trained. He is gaining weight nicely and has a wonderful appetite. He is very sweet and affectionate and good on leash too. He rides well. Xander loves balls and toys and will play as long as you will let him! He has to carry a ball or toy around in his mouth all the time. It is very cute. He is not destructive of toys at all, he just loves to carry them around! He really has a great personality and is getting more handsome every day as he gains weight. Just thought I would share this funny video with you. This is how he lets us know that they are all ready to come back in the house LOL. He is like “Hey! Whatcha doing in there? Come let us in!” It is too cute!

Adoptables Wednesday–Meet Misty!

in Adopt / adoptables / Barks and Blooms / lab / Lab-Rescue.org / labrador retriever / rescue / Wednesday Adoptables  by May 8, 2013

Misty is a 9 year old black spayed female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs but not cats, and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. She weighs 47 lbs and should gain a few. Misty is a very sweet, friendly and gentle girl who has no idea she is 9!

Update from Misty’s foster family – 5/2/2013

Misty has only been with us for a few days, but she has settled into our household routine quickly. On our very first walk together she was excited and did lots of sniffing and pulling. By the morning walk the next day she had improved dramatically and by the evening she was walking nicely. She adapted well to the Easy Walk harness. She has reacted, with a great deal of excitement, to squirrels that we have seen and would give chase if I let her go. She notices birds and reacts with interest to them also. Since the weather was so nice the second evening she was with us, we decided to take Misty and the resident Lab out to dinner at an outdoor cafe in our neighborhood. Both girls were extremely well behaved even with other dogs and diners nearby. Misty is people oriented and loves to snuggle and be stroked and petted. She especially loves belly rubs and will roll onto her back, with her legs straight up in the air, and wiggle her whole body, just begging you to rub her belly. Her tail is like a metronome, going back and forth all the time. In fact the most noise we’ve heard from her is the tail thumping on the wall. We have yet to hear her bark. At night she sleeps loose in the bedroom, alternating between a dog bed and the floor. So far her manners have been good. She is very food motivated and is a quick and eager learner. In the house, and in the fenced yard, she will usually come quickly when called. She enjoys being near you. If you’re looking for a loving and devoted companion with a sweet personality and pleasant energy level Misty may be the girl for you. With Mother’s Day fast approaching Misty asked me to mention that she since has been a mother several times she is hoping that someone will now honor her with a permanent loving home where she can be showered with love on May 12.

Wednesday Adoptables! Meet Odin

in Barks and Blooms / Fallston Animal Rescue Movement Inc. / Odin / rescue / shepherd mix / Wednesday Adoptables  by May 1, 2013


ODIN

Odin is a very smart, 50 lb, 1 year old shepherd mix. His is crate trained, housebroken, and good with other dogs, cats, and kids. 

Odin is staying with the wonderful folks at Fallston Animal Rescue Movement. (or F.A.R.M.)

The F.A.R.M. was started by Greg and Barbara Bertling to find homes for some of the wonderful, loving pets abandoned, lost, or given up and scheduled for euthanasia at area shelters. Thus, FARM means the difference between life and death for the pets rescued.
They provide food, shelter, medical care, behavioral evaluation and affection. They take great care to find responsible, loving, permanent homes for each pet we save.

The FARM has rescued and placed over 8,000 dogs and cats since its beginning in October, 2000.

Wednesday Adoptables! Meet Wonderful Alice

in adoptables / Barks and Blooms / lab / Lab-Rescue.org / rescue / Wednesday Adoptables  by April 24, 2013
Alice is a 7 year old black spayed female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs and cats, and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. She weighs 58 lbs. Alice is energetic, but does not pull on a leash. She likes cats, and enjoys playing with them. She has a good temperament and is curious to meet other dogs.

Update from Alice’s foster family 4/24/2013

Alice is a sweet, affectionate girl, who enjoys hanging out with her humans. She loves to cuddle up with her foster while watching TV or reading. She passed her first home alone test today, alone for 5 hours with free reign in the house and passed with flying colors. We think she napped the entire time. She has a wonderful temperament, likes to play but knows how to entertain herself when told to go lay down. She sits for treats and her meals. She’s a petite girl, who would make a great city dog, as she walks great on a easy walk harness around the neighborhood and wags her tail whenever she spots a human who may give her some attention. A great gal!
