Sad and lonely, I, Moose, roamed the streets with my family nowhere in sight and no place to call home.  A gentleman had spotted me trying to stay warm in the cold winter weather and called the Hobart Animal Shelter to report me as a stray.  Although nobody came to claim or adopt me there, I was grateful that the shelter had provided me with food and a warm place to stay for a few days.  I have since been placed in a foster home through LWR.  I was a little scared at first, but am adjusting well now.
Considering that I am only two years old, I am quite a big boy, weighing around 100 pounds.  The good news is that the vet thinks I am full grown; the bad news is that I think I am a lap dog.  J  I love romping around with my foster brothers, so I would prefer to have a four-legged-sibling in my forever home.  As much as I like to play with dogs, I also like to cuddle with you for a nap, or chew my bone while you hold it for me.  I also enjoy playing fetch, and am currently working on learning how to “drop it.”  I am completely house trained, and even sleep in my own big boy bed at night next to my foster parent’s bedside.  I have a tendency to growl when I am scared; this is just my way of communicating to you that I feel threatened and need some space.  I may look intimidating, but deep down I’m a really sweet, loving dog and wouldn’t want to hurt anyone.  I need a family that will understand that it’s going to take me some time to build my trust in them, but I promise I will come around.  Will you be that family for me?  I would prefer not to live with little kids or cats.  I am getting used to spending time in my crate when mom is at work. I am being fostered in Highland IN (south of Chicago).

Caught you looking…that’s okay because I am great to look at!  Now that I know you are interested let me tell you a little about me so you can understand how lucky you would be to have me.  My name is Koby and I am 8 years old, but I have the body and spirit of a 3 year old which is really cool because I am a well behaved man with a puppy spirit.  I like other dogs and have a really good time playing with them, but I am also very content to be the only dog in the house.  If I am the only dog, I can be the king of the couch…well unless you already are the king in that case you will need to move over to allow room for the new “prince”.  One thing, though, you will need to know about me is that I do not like cats, not at all, and to be honest they really bother me.  So if you have a cat, I would not be a good match for you.  I am sorry about that, but I thought you should know before you got too excited about meeting me.  I am currently living with my foster family near Louisville and the woman of the house had me “snipped”, whatever that means I am not really sure but it was painful.  At my foster home, I live in the house, but that has not always been the case.  For a lot of my life with my previous owner, I was stuck outside and to tell you the truth I really prefer being inside.  I am fully trained to include house trained, crated trained, couch trained and treat trained.  I am pretty good about obedience, but I would love someone to teach me some more things and someone who loves to go on walks with me. Finally, if you have any of those two legged things, kids, I think they are called, living in your home; I like them and think they are pretty cute.  I also like that they are really good about leaving treats on the floor…Yummo!  I know I have given you a ton of information, but I am hoping that telling everything about me will help me find my new love.  I was going to try match.com but my foster mother put a password on the computer, so this was my only option.  If you want to meet me, you can contact my foster mom to schedule a time to meet me in person.

Hi, my name is Molly, and you have never met a sweeter girl than me!  My foster mom picked me up from a family whose kids were involved in too many activities, and no one had time for me anymore.  After living my whole 7-year life with them, I felt I should have moved some steps up the family’s priority ladder, but I guess not!   Fortunately, I have found lots of love with my foster family, and the two-legged people actually play with and walk me.  My young two-legged foster brother loves my kisses, and he squeals with delight when I surprise him with one.  This is what being a family pet is all about!  I really enjoy playing with my four-legged foster sister, and think having a smaller buddy at my forever home would be beneficial for me.  Two years ago I partially tore my ACL, but I can still run and play like all the other dogs.  Sometimes my leg gets stiff and a little painful, so I’m taking anti-inflammatory medicine to help me feel more comfortable.  I am a good girl who sleeps next to my foster parents’ bed at night, and have proven my trustworthiness while my foster family is gone during the day.  I have not messed the house once, isn’t that remarkable?  I am sort of behind in the English words that I know, but I just need someone willing to teach me these things – I catch on fast!  There are two cats here that are very different – the male cat and I get along very well, but the female cat must be defending her territory because she hisses a lot. I am spayed, up to date on my vaccinations, micro chipped, and living in Jeffersonville IN.  Wanna meet me?      

Hello. My name is Caesar, and I am two years old . I was owner-surrendered to animal control, and a really nice lady there called LWR, then took me home with her until my foster mom could come and get me. I had a bad respiratory infection, and wouldn’t eat or drink, so I am really thin, but after a few trips to the vet I’m on the mend. My appetite and energy are back, so I should be myself again in no time. My foster mom says that I am a sweetheart and a real gentleman. I politely ask before entering a new room or getting on the furniture, and sit patiently for snacks or toys. I am house trained, and I tolerate being in a crate, but I prefer being left free to roam the house while you are away, and being the gentleman that I am, my foster mom has had no problems leaving me. I do have one bad habit, and that is why my owners couldn’t keep me--I like to escape. I will run out the front door if I get the chance, and I will climb or jump small fences. My foster mom has a six foot fence, and that one I busted through. She knows where to look for me though; I’ll be politely waiting at the front door. I just want to be with my people. I am an angel if you are in the yard with me or if the door is open so I can come back inside when I want. Obviously, I can not be left unattended outside, which suits me just fine. But enough about that, lets focus on my charming personality. I like to lie on the couch with my head on my foster mom’s lap and watch TV. I love playing ball in the yard, and I can catch a frisbee. I think that I would make a great disc dog, and it would be great if my forever home wanted to help me train. I am very focused and eager to learn. There are turtles and bunnies and a snake at my foster home, and although I am curious about them, I seem to be fine as long as they are in their cages. I’d probably be fine with small pets, just remember I am a hunter by nature. I have two foster sisters, and one is a Weim like me. I get along well with both of them, but I prefer to spend my time with the humans in the house. I do really like them being around when the family is gone, it keeps me from getting lonely. I would love to be in a home with other dogs, and would do best with a buddy to keep me company while you are gone. Ok, it’s out, I am a bit of an attention hog. I just love to be with people…I’m a social guy.
If you would like to be my forever home, I would love to meet you. I am current on my vaccinations, heart worm negative, micro chipped and neutered.  I am being fostered south of Indianapolis IN.
