Story
My name is Brutus, and I am eight years old. I recently lost my mom, so I am looking for a new home. I have been neutered and am current on all my shots and am heartworm negative. I am on monthly heartworm and flea preventative (Simparica Trio). I am allergic to chicken, but I do very well on lamb based dry dog food. I love to be outside, go for walks, play with my stuffed babies and I am just as happy hanging out on the couch with you. I am not crazy about cats, so I would rather not live with them. I am very smart and easily directed and I am kennel trained but not destructive if given the run of the house. I am basically a happy go lucky kind of guy so if you are looking for the perfect family companion, that’s ME!! Our transport heads to the north east every week. RescueVet transport goes all the way up to Rhode Island, delivering fur friends to their forever homes. Transport fee is an additional $185.00. If you’d like to make this handsome fella part of your family, please follow our link below to fill out an adoption application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
Lucy is ready for her new home! She is an unclaimed stray so we don't know her history; or her breed really. I have her listed as Basenji (she has a curly tail!) & Dachshund mix but she could be anything from Chihuahua to Beagle to Black Mouth Cur. It would be fun to DNA test her!! Lucy is 18# with an estimated DOB of Feb 2024.  She is young & still learning things; she is unsure often but is very energetic. Lucy seems to be housetrained but we are still working on crate training. She needs an experienced owner or someone willing to work with a fear free force free trainer. She would really benefit from some classes to help with her confidence.  Lucy has been dog friendly & is playful but she will need slow introductions to new dog friends.  She needs another playful dog in the home or an active owner that'll make sure she gets daily exercise & enrichment.  Lucy has some resource guarding with food.  That just means she needs to be fed separately or in a crate.  Lucy has not been cat tested yet but that can be arranged if needed. She should be ok with older children (13+). Lucy does well on a leash so she doesn't require a fenced in yard but will need to be leashed or on a tie out at all times. Lucy's adoption fee is $225. She is fully vetted for 1 year, spayed, microchipped, & on monthly preventatives. Applications for adoption are at www.trackingintheshadows.com. Please live within 1 hour of South Bend or Elkhart, IN. *We do not accept electric/underground fences. All dogs & cats in the home must be spayed/neutered & up to date on core vaccines & preventatives in order for your application to be approved.* ##2177789##
