Jake is a Sable German Shepherd, neutered male. He is VERY dependent on Heidi. He has ear infections on occasion probably because of lack of attention, but no other known health issues and no known shot records. Jake barks. He has never nipped or shown aggression but he will bark. He leaves the decision up to Heidi as to if a person is a friend.

 

They are both about 7 years old.  Been together since they were 1 year old. Their owner died a year ago and the adult children moved the dogs out of the house to a place where they are not welcome. These two poor dogs have been living in a small kennel for a year now, no vet care, no personal attention, just feeding and watering. The family is talking about euthanizing them. Transportation help is available so even if you can Foster these two sweeties, please contact Alycia at  frontiergsd@att.nett

Truckee, California - Tika - beautiful purebred Siberian Husky female, spayed. She has never been crated. Tika is a loving, smart, responsive young girl with dominant female tendencies and fairly strong prey instincts. Tika came to me on January 7th from a completely inappropriate home for a Northern Dog: Southern California, two Newfies, all dogs lived on furniture, ate from the dinner table, slept with owners in King sized bed, no pack structure, no rules, no exercise. She should not be in a home with critters much smaller than she is.  Bottom line, NO CATS OR SMALL DOGS. Tika gets along with my 5-year-old mixed-breed female ~ they are working out the alpha female thing. They sleep on the bed together, run together and engage in competitive play. There is no food aggression, I can put my hand and face into her bowl while she is eating, so can Luna, they always check out each other's bowls, but bottom line, she is kind of like the typical husky... not so interested in the food as she is in what someone else has that she may not. She likes to take over toys, but does not guard them. She does quietly dismantle plush toys. Tika has been amazingly good on recall for a Husky. She has done well in the home for up to 9 hours with Luna. She also dens up well in the car while I am running errands or working. I have been taking her off-leash for big activities since her first week with me. I walk her in the neighborhood on leash during the day. I have a Skijoring harness for her and have been working on commands ~ she thrives at this.  She also proves to be a great mountain-biking dog. Her progress and my success has been that she has had no less than three walks and two hours of solid exercise per day -primarily skiing, a few days hiking on hard-pack and always with Luna, often with one to three other dogs. This is likely why she has been so good in the house, and so good at recall! A tired dog is a well behaved dog! Tika loves people, children, men especially. She has "disappeared" twice. Once in the neighborhood (figured out my paddle-door handle and second doggy door was open) until the neighbor who she was playing with called; and once while on a hike... again only 10 minutes but came back with a bloody snout so running loose is not acceptable. I have been working with a wonderful trainer - Jeanne Collins - here in Truckee on several things. We are doing clicker training, targeting, and using high-value specialized treats to reward Tika when she sees my cat in motion in the house. I do not, however, let her off lead when we are outside within the neighborhood. If you are interested in Tika, please fill out the  Adoption Application  and contact Karyn at SimplyKaryn@gmail.com

Adopted! Foreclosure! Santa Barbara, CA - Lakota ... This beautiful Malamute girl is only 4 years old and she is losing her home to foreclosure. She is spayed and walks nicely on leash. She only pulls when other animals get too close or if she has not been walked in a while (right now she has not been walked much and is overweight, but very calm). She is much better as she meets the local dogs and gets exercise regularly. Someone with an active lifestyle that can get this girl out twice a day would be wonderful for Lakota. She is housetrained will let you know when she wants to go out, and loves being with people. She likes to dig, so a secure back yard with dig guard would be a good idea. She has lived with a submissive male Labrador companion her whole life, but will also be good as an only dog if you can give her the love and attention she needs. Lakota sits for treats and has no toy or food aggression. She has ben around babys, small children and male and female adults and loves everyone. She will be dominant with other dogs so will need a strong handler to assure her place in the pack. A No-pull harness would help a lot. Lakota would do best with a person that understands the northern breeds and can continue her training to help keep up the good work her present owners have done. They love their girl but can't take Lakota with them. If you think you can give Lakota a loving and forever home, please call Pamela Jo at (775) 833-2066. Click here for an Adoption Application
