 If you have a question or would like to meet Hero please call Sandy at 724-909-0459, or email sandraschiller3008@gmail.com |
If you’re looking for a Hero, I’m looking for a
savior. Despite the many times I have been shown to potential adopters,
there always seems to be a reason why they pass me up and choose a
different dog or no dog at all. I have all the qualities of a fine companion...I’m playful and friendly with people of all ages. I am very treat-driven and will sit on a dime for the most meager of offerings. I love tennis balls and will trade for a reward. I can also catch them in mid-air if you aim a little and give me a heads-up! I’m approximately 2 years old, have that wide bulldog head, the brindle coat of a boxer, and weigh about 60 lbs. Although I am not fond of other dogs, for the most part I ignore them and am perfectly willing to turn around and walk away from them. I am much improved walking on leash and I look forward to my walks with the volunteers. My mouth is gentle when taking treats and I love attention returning the affection the volunteers shower on me with kisses to their chins. There is no question that you would be my Hero if you made me your Hero.

I’ve had a few different names and some tough breaks, too. I had a family and my own little boy to look after, but we lost our home and were all living in a car. Now I’m in a kennel waiting for another family to ask me to join their pack. I was called Kong in my past life, but was renamed Conjure when I came to the shelter. Some call me Conjure and others call me Kongo. I don’t always answer to those names but I always answer to kissing sounds with kisses for those who spend time with me, walk me and pet me.
I’m a middle-aged, pot-bellied bulldog mix with a love for people and quick with a smile. I was a “comfort pet” for my family’s 8-year-old boy and I miss him. I am housebroken and prefer to have company most of the time. I would make a great companion for senior people who want a warm, furry head in their lap to stroke, or a walking buddy. I have a few moves that showcase my “big baby” side which has earned me a lot of coveted time with volunteers who find me irresistible. Come see for yourself.

I’ve been here for a while now and have met a lot of people of all ages, but for some reason I just am not the dog that they choose in the end. I'm just a wee bit too energetic for most people. OK...I admit it, I’m off the charts! But that makes me a good match for another equally energetic dog or even an older dog who needs a spark in their life and a kick in the butt!
Several dogs have some to meet me and I’ve welcomed each and every one with a twirl and a whirl and an invitation to give chase and play. Not once have a growled or snapped, because I make friends easily. Kids have met me and although I spend the first few minutes searching for toys to toss around, I eventually notice the people and jump on most of them with enthusiasm. I’ve been told that is not always what they are seeking in a dog but I have a hard time staying calm at my very young age. I’m just a baby really...not even 2 years old and people are expecting me to be perfect when I spend most of my time in a cage. All it’s going to take is some exercise and training to harness my unbridled energy. With my adorable looks and 40-lb size, I will catch your eye. I will also catch a tennis ball over and over again if you will come and take me to the play yard. In the meantime, I’ll be waiting for you.

I sat in a kennel for a year at another rescue,
which is most of my life since I'm not even 2 years old. But I'm a
lively, large lover boy who is desperate to be out of a shelter and in a
real home. I'm a knockout physically with my freckled face, splotchy
pink nose and fine physique. All I want to do is climb on laps and stick
my muzzle into yours which gets me in trouble most of the time because I
am 4 times the size of a real lap dog. Even though I'm a young bruiser I'm not that hard to walk. You would be so proud to have me at your side like some elegant lion strutting my stuff. The volunteers get a huge kick out of my inquisitive expressions and quest for attention. In my kennel (my prison) I'm like a jumping jack, springing up and down with anticipation as to when my next outing with a volunteer will be. As an American bull dog mix, my ideal family would be an active one with people who love to walk, jog, hike and cuddle of course. My giant head takes both hands to pet and I'm not shy or skittish with anyone. I'm too big and clumsy to be around little kids, but older ones would be okay. I could even enjoy the company of another active female dog, but I'm quite enough dog on my own, too. So consider getting me on track to leave, because I'm ready willing and able to be your most loyal follower.

You don’t see many dogs like me around.
Remember Spuds McKenzie? Have you seen the Target dog with the red
bulls-eye? That’s the breed that I am...a stout bull terrier with the
egg-shaped head, pointy ears, and adorable pinkish snout. Not only am I an eye-catcher, I’m also super-friendly with people and love to be cuddled. There’s nothing tepid or skittish about me. I’ll be the first one to greet people and I never say no to a brisk walk. At about 45 lbs and approximately 3-years-old, I’m a catch for adults who want a single dog that will dote on them. I never have accidents in my kennel even though I can’t go outside to go to the bathroom as often as I’d like, so I think you would be very happy at how quickly I would be potty-trained in a new home. My preference is to be the only dog, but I visited with the cats briefly and it’s possible I could live with a calm and confident cat. It’s a mystery why I’m still waiting for a home. My age, size and loving disposition should be all anyone needs to choose me.

As one who has been abandoned, I have developed
some trust issues. I was about 9 months old when I arrived at the
shelter after my owner left me with a friend and never returned. My
life, though short, has not been filled with the usual training,
exercise, and love that most “dog people” think about and provide when
they look for a new companion. The volunteers were surprised by my outbursts at them when they stood at my kennel. They learned to take it slow and once I got to know each of them, I was the adorable angelic girl they all saw deep within me. I have not been properly introduced to many new things and am easily spooked, but one by one I am learning all about the many things and people around and am getting better every day. My bald little butt, due to flea dermatitis, is now covered with a velvety black coat. My petite square face is irresistible when I lock eyes with people and I sit at the speed of light when offered a treat. I may not be the perfect dog for everyone, but for people who are willing to take the time to get to know me, I’m as lovable and darling as you will find anywhere. I have played with some of the dogs here and have made many volunteers smile and laugh.

Do I look worried to you? I guess I am a little
bit because this is the 2nd time I have been returned. My super-shy,
submissive demeanor is why I was chosen in the first place, but then
after a week or two some people are discouraged that I am not climbing
into their laps to be cuddled or tossing a toy in the air. As a border
collie mix, it is quite common to be skittish and that’s the best word
for how I react to an outstretched hand that wants to pet me. Surely you have heard about dogs described as “fight or flight”? Well in my case, it is the latter. There is no “fight” in me at all which makes me easy to place with kids, dogs and even cats. In fact, one of the cats in the first home I was at briefly picked on me! My excellent qualities include being house-broken, safe around children and friendly with other dogs. I might even fare better with a confident dog in my corner who could show me how great it is to be petted, hugged and showered with affection. It will take a knowledgeable and patient owner to coax me out of my shy shell but I hope it happens soon. They originally named me “Sissy” but that name doesn’t seem to be one that I should be stuck with since I’m trying so hard to learn how not to be one.

I’m a very lucky dog because
the police stepped in to save me from an abusive owner. Another young
dog and myself had been witnessed by neigh-bors being beaten and
strangled and they called the police. At only around 8 months old, I’m a big puppy with beautiful markings that hint at shepherd and mastiff. I go nuts every morning when the people come in because I’m so frantic from being in a kennel for so long. I jump and squirm for my breakfast and to go outside and relieve myself. I can’t “hold” it for those 10-12 hours and my kennel is soiled which is awful for me to be around, but I know I could be potty-trained quickly if I only had a normal daily dog routine. I’m a teensy bit shy when I meet new people. but that doesn’t last long. My dream owner would be an active person or family who wants to go for long walks, jogs and spend time teaching me all the things a young dog needs to know. Being a quick study, it won’t take me very long at all.

Smiling in the face of adversity because people here care about me. At around 8 years old, I can still mix it up with my best buddies, Prince and Ruby even though we are all waiting for new homes. Our Mom got very sick and passed away and we are back at the shelter where she took each of us in when we were at our most unhappy and vulnerable.
Our 4-pack included Sissy who did go home with a new family recently. We are all senior dogs who are housebroken and comfortable around other dogs. Prince is the shyest one but we are one grand trio to behold on a walk together! I’m Sadie with the dense black and brown coat and distinctive widow’s-peak. I’m a little overweight from inactivity. It would not be surprise to look at me lying around and think I’m a little depressed at the huge change in my life, but I’m doing the best I can to adapt. It wouldn’t be a stretch to call me a couch potato, but I have been enjoying the play yard romps and belly scratches that the volunteers provide. For an easy dog who does not require a ton of exercise – pick me to be your gal pal.
