Skamp male

2007-09-28

Location: Ohio

Skamp is a very sweet boy who minds very well and really wants to please. But he has a troubled past that requires special understanding. A few years ago, Skamp responded to a couple of fearful and stressful situations by biting. Even though he hasn't repeated this in the last 4 years, we still feel he should go to an adults-only home with terrier experience, patience, and sensitivity to ensure that the situation doesn't repeat itself. Skamp gets along fine with dogs around his size (18 lbs.) but dislikes bigger dogs. Skamp does have a strong prey drive and would probably chase a cat if it would run. And he likes to bark, especially when he sees other animals outside. But, despite these issues, Skamp truly is a good, well-behaved boy who is reliably housetrained and just loves to lie on the couch next to his person. Skamp is 12 years old and really deserves to spend his golden years in a loving forever home of his own. His forever home should be within driving distance of his fosterhome (near Dayton, OH) to ensure a smooth and happy transition.

Daisy female

2008-06-11

Location: Ohio

Daisy is 10 years old and weighs 11 lbs. She can be an alpha dog and was on the losing end of one too many battles with an established pack order in previous home. At her foster home, however, she is NOT alpha. Daisy loves meal time and puts on a show of bouncing and squealing until you put her bowl down. She is crate trained and housebroken. Daisy is very sweet and loving. She tends to prefer men to women. Daisy loves her toys and plays with every single one. Daisy loves going for walks and is very praise motivated. She has a pretty good prey drive and will chase cats and other little critters. She is very fearful of kids so shouldn't be adopted to a home with children under age 12. Although she would be a good companion for a home with another small dog, she can be fear aggressive with larger dogs. Daisy has had a rough life and is looking for a quiet retirement home where she can be loved and spoiled, and would be content as an only dog.
