Hi! My name is
Tribute
and I am a very friendly young male. They think I am probably about 2
years old. I get along with other dogs very well and love to play. I am
neutered, micro-chipped, heartworm negative and up to date on shots. I am
also good with small children. You can't see it in my picture, but I
have a nicely curled tail.
Please contact
elkiehelp@gmail.com for more information on
me. |

Dogs listed in the following section have not been

another rescue group.


She is potty trained and listens to all types
of commands. She will sit, stay, shake, speak, come, fetch, drop and play free
dog. She is 8 years old but still playful and loves going for long walks. Her
favorite toys are an old log in the yard, Frisbees, and to carry the sprinkler
around the yard when it is on. She loves to swim in lakes and listens pretty
well when she is off of her lease. Her down sides are that she has a little
arthritis in her back left leg, she will occasionally pull a loaf of bread off
the counter, she is not fond of her hair being brushed and will run away, and
she can get an attitude when smaller dogs pick fights. Her perfect home would
be someone who can give her some one on one attention. She loves all people but
does want to have a master. She overall is a wonderful
loving playful dog. For more information, contact Nicole at <Nlileikis@go2uti.com>.

A great dog needs a good home or temporary
place to stay while we find him a
home.

Name: Baron
Nicknames: Bear, Babar
Breed: Norwegian Elkhound
Weight: 45-50 lbs.
Age: unknown (~ 3-7 years)
Neutered Male
Due to a move to a new home without a fenced in yard, along with the arrival of
a newborn baby, Baron is looking for someone to take him in. He is a great
dog
who will be greatly missed. :(
Baron loves work and play, and thrives with consistent exercise and discipline.
He is a great companion for jogging, hiking, and other daily outdoor activities.
He loves to chase balls and small animals, so he would probably not be good
around cats, other tiny pets and small children. He really likes to be
indoors
with the rest of the pack for at least part of the day, and is good with other
dogs, especially females. Zuzu, his best friend, is a 25 lb. terrier mix,
who
he adores. Because he is a Nordic breed, Baron likes to pull carts, bikes,
etc.
and carry stuff in his backpack. Although he is also bred for hunting, he
does
not like loud noises like gunshots, fireworks, and thunder. Baron has been
trained to sit, lay down, stay, come, and walk on a leash. With consistent
training from his new owner he should be able to perform those commands.
He
will lay down and wait until given the command that it is okay to eat his food
and is also crate trained and does a few tricks.
Baron is best with strangers if they are introduced gradually. When we
first
got him he would nip at people who approached him in a forward manner. We
have
really worked on his socialization and now he consistently greets newcomers
without this behavior. We are fairly certain that his former owner was
abusive
because of this behavior and his fear of any type of stick, be it one for fetch,
hiking, or a broom handle. We have diligently addressed these issues with
the
help of a professional dog trainer and feel like he deserves a home and a good
life despite the scars left by this mistreatment. We hope you will give
him a
chance to melt your heart as he has ours.
Please give us a call and let us know if you feel like Baron might be a good
match for your home.
Thanks so much,
Robin and Joby Kauffman
