Euthanization is imminent if a home is not found very soon for Shadow.

VERY URGENT! Ojai, California - Shadow is a beautiful, neutered 5 y/o Husky that needs a home very soon. His Foster Home cannot keep him any longer. When he was rescued from the shelter we found out he had a tumor on his leg. His Foster home has paid for

the surgery and it was removed successfully. He has nipped three people including his transporter and his groomer. It's possible that the groomer got too close to his tumor or Shadow was just fearful. Shadow really needs a home where they are experienced with northern breeds and are savvy with training a dominant male Husky. We think he is just frightened and has not been given proper training. Please contact us if you can help this sweet boy as he may wind up back at the shelter and will definitely be euthanized. He is currently in a Foster home but they can't keep him very long, maybe another week. They have paid for his surgery to remove the tumor so any donations will help tremendously.

Please click here Donations and be sure to indicate that the donation is for Shadow. Shadow is about 51 lbs. and up to date on Rabies vaccination. He walks fine on leash, and we think he has been a backyard dog because he is just now getting used to being indoors at his Foster home. He is getting some training from his Foster Dad and he is responding really well but will be dominant around submissive or fearful people. He definitely needs someone with training experience. He has a little food protection and is a bit dominant with other dogs.. Unfortunately, this is what happens to so many poor dogs that are left in a backyard while their owners go to work and are gone for 9 hours and get no training, socialization or leadership. Time is running out for this beautiful boy! Please contact Mike Lehane at Mike Lehane mplehane@ca.rr.com or Pamela Jo at (775) 833-2066. Transportation help available.

Very Urgent! Lake Tahoe, NV - Sadie is a beautiful creamy-white 8-

year-old, spayed female Husky/wolfdog that needs a home by the end of May! Her owners moved so Sadie was sent to Lake Tahoe Wolf Rescue. When Sadie arrived here she was extremely shy, her coat was dry and falling out, and her teeth were brown. She was very fearful. Now her coat is luxurious and soft, she's gained some weight, her teeth are much better and she is more social, curious and housetrained! She runs around and plays with her male canine companion, Muraco like a puppy! She is currently up for adoption and must be placed very soon. Sadie is a mid-content wolfdog and absolutely needs a home with a

large, neutered male companion or she will get very lonely. Sadie is very shy but once she gets to know you she likes daily exercise and human attention. A home with someone that is wolfdog experienced is a must. A person who is self employed, works at home, or retired would also be great for this beautygirl but as long as she has a male companion to hang with, she is fine if left alone in the yard with access to shelter or a doggy door to home. When outdoors, Sadie is shy with new people. Indoors she is curious and will sometimes come up to visitors for a sniff and a pet. She walks nicely on a leash/harness and loves to go for hikes in the woods where she is most comfortable and relaxed, but she is still a little nervous on

the streets of a neighborhood with cars, noises and loose dogs. With a patient and calm handler she responds very well and is soon walking down the street nicely. It would take about 2-3 weeks for Sadie to settle in at a new home but with a regular routine she becomes more and more comfortable and very well behaved. Good daily exercise is great for helping her relax and presently she is going out two times a day for hike in the woods, so an active owner who likes to hike [on a long leash] would be fabulous for this sweetie. Sadie is shy but ok with kids that are calm and allow her to approach them [as opposed to walking up to her or being loud] but we will adopt Sadie into a home without small children, small dogs or cats - i.e. a calm environment. She is good with both men and women, but better with women. She seems to be good with other dogs when introduced properly on a walk. She would not be good in an environment with a dominant female. She has spent her life in a back yard, sleeping in a garage with little human interaction. She is a different girl now and it would be nice for her to have a home where she has a doggy door and can be a part of the family. Sadie is now housetrained and does love to come in and be with you, especially in the evenings to

watch TV. Sadie LOVES to watch wolves and dogs on TV! Presently she sleeps in our bedroom all night and is allowed to come and go through a doggy door. Before bedtime she snuggles on our bed to get extra belly rubs. Sadie needs a secure, escape-proof yard and the option to sleep in or outdoors with her "mate." A patient and gentle owner would make milestones with this sweetie. Sadie is submissive with humans and is not aggressive at all but very skitsy and runs away from you when anxious. She loves to play with her boyfriend and is very energetic for an 8 year old, so a younger companion would be nice. If you are interested in giving Sadie a good forever home, pleasecall Pamela Jo at (775) 833-2066 TIME IS RUNNING OUT! Transportation help is available. If you are interested in meeting Sadie at Lake Tahoe, give Pamela Jo a call or email her at PamelaJoWolflady@yahoo.com

Very Urgent - Washoe County Animal Shelter, Reno NV - Hera -

ID #A080702. Hera is a White German Shepherd about 7 years old. She was lost from her owner but no one came to claim her. She is very sweet and has been at the shelter since May 13. Hera is a little shy in the shelter environment as it is scary and she has been waiting for her owners to come get her. She does warm up quickly though, and needs a permanent home now. A person that is calm and patient would really help this frightened girl to be happy again. She has been at the shelter too long and won't be there much longer. She will be euthanized if we don't find a home or foster for her. Please contact the shelter directly at (775) 856-2000.

Very Urgent - Washoe County Animal Shelter, Reno NV - ID #A236384. This pretty 5-year-old female Alaskan Husky/Border Collie

is such an affectionate, loving girl. She only weighs 40 lbs, is very submissive and shy at first becasue she is scared being in the shelter. She warms up quickly to people. She freezes up when we put a leash on her but likes her treats, so a patient person should be able to get her going. She is just frightened and needs her own human that will love her and work with her. She could use some good exercise too. Please contact the shelter directly. She will be euthanized if she does not find a home soon! (775) 856-2000.
