Small, Cuddly, and Energetic

We currently have six small dogs that are in need of homes. Claire, Spritz, Lil Buddy, Guppy, Harry, and Peaches. For pictures go to www.pawshancock.org and click on Animals to bring up their web pages.

Claire is a very small beagle female who loves to cuddle but needs to have her time outside to run and sniff. While she has never been worried about my husband or brother, once she is out of the kennel environment, she has shown timidity towards men. She was returned to rescue because she didn't readily accept the presence of a man. This can be fixed easily and is really no excuse, but if a person isn't willing to work on the problem, then it's not the home she needs.

Lil Buddy (we put the Lil in front because we have a Big) is a min pin mix, housebroken, very friendly, also a little timid around men but less so than Claire. He loves to have his outside time, but is more than willing to come inside and snuggle, especially in cold weather.

Harry was first fostered by someone who wanted an agility dog. He was said to be too much of a couch potato. He was adopted by someone who wanted a dog that would cuddle, and she said he was too active for her lifestyle. Somewhere in between we have what Harry needs. He and Claire run and play every day, come inside and eat and snooze. Harry is very smart, and already house broken and clicker trained.

Spritz was found as a stray by a family. They kept him for three weeks. Spritz can climb better than any dog I have seen in a long time. This dog should get a chance at agility training as he absolutely loves the challenge. He's smart, housebroken, knows sit. He needs someone who will be his pack leader and keep him focused. He's a Jack Russell/beagle combo.

Guppy is an older male min pin/chi/pom? mix. He's a character and food guards with other dogs. It has never been a problem with me. I can take his food away any time I want. He is house broken, goes outside to potty and is willing to come back in and snuggle up. He does need his time outside to run around a bit.

Peaches is around 6 years old, house broken, quiet. She sneezes occasionally and isn't real fond of very young children. She's a cocker spaniel/poodle/bichon? mix and is perfectly willing to go outside and then come in and snuggle up.

Guppy and Peaches are at the point in life where they have mellowed out and are willing to spend less time sniffing the ground and more time on the couch.

The other four, Spritz, Claire, Harry, and Lil Buddy simply need more exercise, someone who will give them rules and structure, and even a job wouldn't hurt. None of this group will get along with cats.

Somewhere out there, there are people who want to adopt that will fulfill their needs and give them a wonderful home to live out their lives --- we just have to find them!
