Daytona

 A big goof, I am all legs and awkwardness at times! I am searching for a home with large/giant breed experience as I am a big baby! I am nervous in new situations and need some guidance and reassurance to feel at ease. With a little encouragement, I do well and love to be with and around people. Other dogs tend to make me nervous and I seem unsure as to how to be around them. I have had surgery on my knee joints in the past and have a "touch" of arthritis. Thus, a big comfy bed and not too many stairs would make me very happy! I will need children over 6 or so to be successful.

Breed:  Great Dane, Labrador MixReason for being here:  Over Crowded Shelter Age: 3 years Sex:  NM  Arrived: 1/14/10

Nikki

I am an active and willing hound!  I do have some issues with other female dogs but, could be okay with submissive or male dogs.  I should be just fine for a home with children as I tend to gravitate toward the little ones (they do usually have food and I so love that!).  Do you have a little extra room for me?

Breed:  Hound Mix

Reason for being here:  Over Crowded Shelter

Age: 1 year Sex:  SF   Arrived: 9/30/09

Dillan

Dillan was brought to New Hampshire after being found as a stray in Alabama. He is looking for a loving home that can help him come out of his shell. Nervous at first, but warms up once he gets to know you. A quiet home would be best for him as he is afraid of loud noises. Because of this, he would do best without children under the age of 8.  He loves to play with other dogs, and has been fine with cats he has met here.

John....

Laid back, slow going and just happy to be with people...I would love to find a home with my long time girlfriend June!  I have no issue with the cats here and do okay with most dogs although, I get jealous when too many are crowding my lady!  If you have room for two, picture perfect, easy as we go beagle buddies...come meet us today

and June....

Quiet, easy and oh so loving and sweet...I am a doll! I am searching for a home where my beau John and I can stay together.  We have been together our whole lives and are very well bonded.  I am gentle, laid back and don't need much to keep me happy.  If you were thinking about a "his and hers" set...pick us!

Breed : Beagle

Age: 8 years Sex:  NM& SF Arrived: 1/13/10

 

Andy

I enjoy quiet, snuggle time more than anything else!  I am easy on leash and nearly dote on people to get attention.  I am fairly pushy with other dogs and may be best suited to live as an only pet or with a submissive canine.  I do have some mild possession issues that CVHS staffer's are working with me on here.  Thus, I will be looking for a home with children over 12 to help me be successful.

Breed:  Boxer/Lab Mix

Age 4 years Sex:  NM   Arrived: 1/6/09

Banks

Rather quiet and at ease with myself, I should do well in most situations.  I have done well with other dogs but, cannot live with cats.  I have successfully completed basic obedience as well as agility and would love to continue all the training with you...it is so much fun!  I may do well with all ages so, please bring the whole family to meet me!

Breed: Greyhound

Reason for being here:  Over Crowded Shelter

Age 3 Years Sex:  NM   Arrived: 12-19-09

 

Cammie

I am working on my trust with people..you see, I got loose one day and scared and ended up in the woods for 2 weeks before anyone was able to get me.  I need time, consistency and leadership from any potential new home.  I must attend training to help us grow together and become a team!  It would be best if there were either a calm canine companion in the home to help me learn or none at all so that all focus be on me.

Breed: Chow Chow/Australian Cattledog

Reason for being here: Stray

Age 2 years  Sex:  SF  Arrived: 11-30-09 

 

Big Red

I'm an old man with a lot of spunk and energy! I love to be around people! I do enjoy walking with you and playing fetch just as much as I enjoy quiet time with a good pat. I have done well with the cats here and although, somewhat fussy with my canine companions do well with them after a proper introduction. **UPDATE-  11/30/09- I got a "makeover" for the holidays!  I went to visit Great Bay Animal Hospital and the Doctors there cleaned my teeth, took my lumps off and repaired my entropian eyelids (this was so itchy before!).  I am a new me and ready to go home with you!

Breed: Hound

Reason for being here: Stray

Age 10 Years Sex:  NM  Arrived: 9-18=09

 

Maddie

A little bit on the wild side when I get going, I love to race about, play fetch and mostly keep away!  I am incredibly food motivated so, training will be easy and fun for us to do together.  I do settle nicely and listen well when we are learning together.  Due to my tremendous energy, I am looking for a home with lots of activity and children over 12 please.  I can be fussy with canine companions, so let's meet first and make sure we get along!

Breed: Hound Mix

Jared

Your breed standard of a great hound dog is what I exude!  I let my nose distract me whether it be when we are playing outdoors, working on my manners with treats or simply hanging out.  I love to smell about the place and see what is going on in the place!  I do play well with most other dogs but, can be a little rough at times.  Cats make me nervous as I may have never seen one before Cocheco Valley but, I'm learning about them.  I would prefer children over 8 or so to make sure we can all be successful.

Mason

A true ambassador for the breed, I am amazing!  I am happy and wiggly and love to be around just about everything and anybody willing to spend some quality time with me.  I am very appropriate when playing and already know a lot of commands.  I am a very good boy, please come meet me today!

Breed: American Staffy

Reason for being here: Over Crowded Shelter

Age 2 years Sex: NM  Arrived: 2-4-10

 

Colleen

I am a perfect combination of intelligence and foolishness all in one wonderful package!  I seek out attention and love to be around people.  Playtime is great for me whether I am simply tossing the toy up in the air to keep myself busy or playing fetch with you.  Cats are of no interest here to me so, I think I could live with them, kids should be just great too!  I can be a little pushy at times with other dogs, mostly when I want all the attention but, do well after a proper introduction.  I make a lot of noise when I play with them, so don't be alarmed!

Breed: Border Collie mix

Jason

I am a very handsome fellow I know!  The staff keeps referring to me as a lion but, I am not a mean guy at all...it's just my flowing mane!  I am fairly easy on leash and laid back...don't seem to mind cats and do okay with most dogs but, will need to meet first to be sure.

Breed: Chow Chow mix

Blue

I have spent the majority of my life outside and am in the process of learning what it is to be loved, indoors and know there is another meal coming.  I am doing well with this transition and love to be around the hustle and bustle here.  I do enjoy playing with most dogs but, my play style can be a little too rough and tumble for some.  Any canine companions should meet me first.  I am asking for children over 8 please, so that I may settle into a new home more easily.

Breed: American Pit Bull

Reason for being here: Over Crowded Shelter

Age 7 months Sex: NM  Arrived: 2-4-10

 

Tracey

I'm the move to a new home with lots of energy! I love playtime and think squeaky toys are the best invention ever!  Other dogs make my day...so a resident canine may be perfect for me.  I don't seem to mind cats but, given my enthusiasm for life, I may chase them just for fun! I should be just fine with children over the age of 4.
