Muffin's coat is slowly coming back after she lost most of it due to severe flea infestation which had also been left untreated. Poor Muffin started out her life much loved by a dear owner who sadly passed away when Muffin was 7 years old. She was then "inherited" by a neglectful family member. She's now with us and is doing well.

To adopt Muffin you must first fill out an application at the Pekingese Club of America website: http://www.pekingeseclub.org/

Murphy is a collie mix who we are guessing is about 10 years old. He is fully potty trained, neutered, but will need to be updated on his shots (I will take care of this if needed). I am guessing he is about 50 lbs. He is good with other dogs, very quiet and sweet personality. He is a great eater, he hardly ever barks. He does have arthritis, but I know it would get better with a softer surface to lay on and some TLC (and maybe a few baby asprins). He would be perfect for a single person or someone older, he is a very low maintenence dog. He just likes to lay around and relax and be petted.

Lucy still gets somewhat playful when the mood strikes her and is holding her own with the other dogs in her current foster home. She is not completely housebroken and does need to "go" more often than a younger dog would. She loves to sleep with her foster mom, but is content to sleep in her little doggy bed if she has to.

11 yr. old, 22 1/2 lb. terrier mix, neutered, up to date on shots. Beau is in need of a dental which we hope to get done in the next couple of weeks. He is a friendly old man who loves to lay on the couch and watch the world go by. He likes car rides, being petted, and his life long companion Brandi. He gets along with our crew of small dogs and ignores the cat. While he doesn't play with our 6 yr. old daughter he seems to get along with children also. Though the shelter he was pulled from listed him as a terrier mix, our vet feels he's a possible Lhasa-poodle mix. We very much would like him and Brandi to be placed together, though it's not a strict requirement.

May 6, 2003 - Sad Update on Beau: Beau passed away last night. I was so hoping for more time for him. Either here with us or in a new home of his own. This seemed rather sudden, but I know that as a senior he wouldn't have been around forever. A little longer would've been quite wonderful though.

BRANDI

Brandi, 11 year old, spayed female terrier mix, up to date on shots. Brandi is a 20.5 pound terrier mix who doesn't act her age. She loves to play with our other dogs and likes my 6 year old daughter. She too, ignores our cat. Our vet felt she may have some Manchester terrier or miniture pinscher in her mix. She has more energy than her buddy Beau and feels the need to watch over him and one of our other dogs. She's an extremely smart girl who knows how to open cupboard doors, baby gates, and has found herself on the other side of our enclosed deck? She would definately need both a fenced yard and a watchful eye. While Beau would possibally adjust to life without Brandi, we feel that Brandi would not do well left alone and would need a stay at home human or another dog friend to keep her company. Ideally we'd like them to be adopted together.
