Hi! I'm Athena! I'm a cute snuggle bug but I have a lot of energy too!! They say I'm around 2 years olds, so we'll say I was born in 2015. When I meet people I'm stand offish but offer me a treat I'll warm up very fast. I'm smart, playful, love kids, and everyone I meet, especially once I get food. I love car rides and do good with most dogs. I'm not a fan of kitties or small dogs though. They just aren't my thing. I'm Kennel and house trained , walk well on the leash with minimal corrections, I know how to sit especially if food is involved. I've attended boot camp to learn stuff and how to behave like a lady. I'm hoping someone is willing to keep working with me and give me the love I want, need, and deserve for the rest of my life. So if you are responsible, don't have any small animals, and don't mind having lots of treats on hand for me...please set up a meet and greet so I can show you what a good girl I am!
~LOVE, Athena
Meet Kozzie!!! And what a perfect little smile! He is a Husky/Lab mix and use to be on a dog sled team. He loves Kids, dogs, and car rides! He does not like chickens. He will chase them to eat. This cutie is house trained, crate trained, knows sit, stay, lay down, heels therefore walks well on the leash. He is a true gentleman and will let you out the door first. If that's not enough he can amaze you by letting you place a treat on his paw and he will actually leave it there- until given the go ahead to eat it! What an amazing little boy. He does seem to have separation anxiety, but is wonderful in a kennel if you have to leave him. Kozzie loves to run so a fenced yard for his safety is important. Kozzie would be a fantastic family member if given the chance! Who wouldn't want to meet this handsome fella!?!
Brody is a big loveable brute. He has mild hip dysplasia as well as ADHD. He is very stubborn, but will learn to please. He considers cats to be 'fast food'. He loves coming in from the cold and being covered with a blanket, where he will sleep for hours. His favorite thing in the whole world is cuddling. He is great with children and likes to swim and fetch things. He likes to eat potted plants, so gardeners beware. You can scratch him anywhere and he loves it. He can be aggressive to other dogs when there are women giving him attention, or around food. He loves rawhides, provided you have started to peel them for him, and due to his ginormous cranium melon, can destroy one in under twenty minutes. He also likes to eat pillows. Brody would require a moderately sized fenced yard and lots of attention. He has a very intimidating bark for a doorbell, but loves to meet new people when they are invited in. He would do best in a one-dog home. When he is scolded, he does a great Sylvester Stallone impression.
WINNIE IS A CANCER SURVIVOR!!! Winnie was the victim of neglect, but luckily she is safe and happy now. Winnie is approximately 7 years old. She is a chihuahua and terrior mix. Winnie has been through a lot though. Shortly after being rescued from her bad home situation we discovered that she had breast cancer. BUT the good news is we caught it early! The stage 1 tumor was removed at Michigan State and Winnie is now cancer free! She is doing great and ready for a special home of her own. She sure does deserve it! If you'd be interested in meeting Winnie, please let us know.
Hi, my name is Pink. I am a very nice girl about 2.5 years old. I am a female Pit Bull. I LOVE to snuggle. I ADORE kids and do well with male or female dogs. I do not like cats though! I have loads of energy! If you would like to apply for me please go to www.fewstepsfromhome.com or email this rescue for more information on me! Oh and I know how to rollover, lie down, sit, stay and let adults out the door before me. I'm sooo good, though I need a little more practice walking on a leash.
Woofers was brought to me by a friend who found him abandoned, without food, water or shelter. Woofers is about 7 yrs old. He is housebroken and has a great attitude! I took him to my vet for a check up. I was concerned about diabetes or kidney problems because of his excessive drinking and needing to go out to urinate and his weight. My concerns were unfounded! His blood work came back very good! The vet said the drinking is probably due to dehydration and could possibly be classified as a psycogenic drinker. That means that he possibly drank a lot of water when he was bored and it developed into a habit. Since he has been with me his drinking has decreased as has the need to go out and urinate. He is about 15 -20 pounds overweight and has a bit of a problem sitting and laying down due to this. He is on a regiment of 3/4 cup of Taste of the Wild along with 1 can of green beans 2 times a day. His walks need to be easy and somewhat short - no longer than 2 miles until he starts losing weight. His front leg - near as the vet could figure without x-rays - was very badly damaged at the elbow. While this will always affect his gate, it should present no real problems. There is some arthritis involved. He gets along with my dogs. I just have to watch him at "food time". He really likes people (the vet and techs thought he was really special and sweet natured). He really seemed interested in a small child at the vet's. He wagged and wanted to sniff and say hi to the little tyke. Also, he showed no aggression towards any of the other animals that came in. Please contact Few Steps From Home Animal Rescue if you think you could give Woofers a great new home.
