Updates...


I have received several emails asking when our website will be up and running and I am happy to announce that the website will be fully operational within the next two weeks. When it is up, I will email everyone who signed up for our mailing list. If you haven't signed up and would like to be notified, please let me know by emailing me at, Elizabeth@k9safehouse.org.

K9 Safehouse is hard at work saving all breeds and ages of dogs from some very dire conditions. As some of the shelters that we work with are strictly outside shelters, these conditions will, unfortunately, become extremely dire in the winter. These animals are in desperate need of foster homes so that we can get them out. If you can foster, or would like to find out more about our foster program PLEASE email me.

Thanks!

Adopt Alexis.....Now!

Alexis is a sweet, red head (aka Australian) Border Collie that K9 Safehouse saved from a high kill shelter months ago. Her foster parents love her, but we need to find a forever home for her!

Alexis is very charming - as you can tell from her photo - and is great with other dogs, cats, kids, etc. She has a wonderful, playful personality and will keep you laughing. She loves running around in the backyard, at the park, playing Frisbee, etc. just as much as she loves snuggling up on the couch and watching TV.

She walks well on a leash - no pulling, knows basic commands, and is housetrained.

Alexis loves children and other dogs and would do best in a home with either, or both.

She is one and a half years old, up to date on vaccinations and spayed.

If you can adopt Alexis, please email Elizabeth@k9safehouse.org

More Adoptable Dogs!


Hi everyone! It's been a bit since our last posting. As I may have already mentioned we are working on a newsletter to keep everyone updated. Once it's complete we will either mail or e-mail to all who have signed up for our mailing list. Our newsletters will include info on adoptable dogs, a Q and A offering advice for common dog "issues", updates on our dogs that have been adopted, upcoming events, and much more! We are excited to be making such great forward progress and wish to thank everyone who has helped up along the way, stay tuned! If you are interested in signing up for our mailing list please email: Elizabeth@k9safehouse.org and let me know - please provide mailing address or the email address that you'd like the newsletter to be sent to.

Now, for our adoptable dogs:

First, we have Athena. Athena is an absolutley STUNNING, female German Shepherd. She is about three years old and weighs 72 lbs. Athena has been temperament tested and is of no concern with regards to children, grown-ups and other dogs. However, I am told that she is not a fan of cats (or maybe she is a fan of cats, and we're just not fans of what she'd do to a cat), so NO cats, please! If you are interested in adopting Athena, please email!


Here we have Zeus! Zeus is our handsome little Husky mix (no idea what he's mixed with!). Zeus is another great dog - gets along with everyone - and will make a fantastic family pet. He is about one year old and weighs about 35 pounds. Remember, Husky mixes have a bit of energy to burn and do best with an active family and a lot of space to run around. If you are interested in adopting, please email!


And here is Herbie (love that name). Herbie is a baby - still waiting on an exact age from the shelter - hound mix. He is about 22 lbs and ANOTHER great dog. He loves playing with the other dogs at the shelter and eats up any and all attention that he can get from the humans there. Poor Herbie has spent such a long time awaiting a home (almost his whole life) in the high kill environment of the shelter. Please consider giving this baby the loving home he deserves!

Next, we have Daisy. Poor Daisy was brought into the shelter by her owners who said they could no longer keep her because they were moving. They brought her in with her brother. Her brother was adopted almost immediately, but poor Daisy has been there alone and scared for several months. I feel badly for all of the dogs but I felt a little worse for Daisy. She had the only home she has ever known taken from her, and her brother, too. Daisy is a very sweet dog - lots of energy as she's a border collie mix -, loves playing with other dogs and children. She is a whiz at fetch and loves a Frisbee. If you can give Daisy a place to call home again, please email!



Lastly, (for now), we have Thomas! Thomas is a two year old Chow chow! I LOVE these furry guys! Thomas is wonderful with all other dogs, kids, grown-ups and cats, too! Thomas is a mushy ball of love and fur and wants nothing more than a family to call his own. If you can give Thomas a loving family, please email!

As always, all of our dogs are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Please email: Elizabeth@k9safehouse.org with any questions you may have!

Fun, Loving Home Needed For Simba!

Sweet, shy Simba needs a place to call his own. His short life has been so hard - first living as a cast away in the streets and then in the loud, overcrowded, scary shelter - he deserves the best home we can find him!

Simba is a six month old yellow lab. He needs a home filled with lots of warmth and love, lots of cuddles and toys and...a furry brother or sister. Simba is shy (can you blame him?) and needs the company of another dog to bond with and to learn to open up to his new people.

Despite this, Simba is a typical puppy and loves to play with his favorite toys - stuffed animals, bones, etc. He loves to romp around with other dogs in the yard and would do best with a fenced in area to play in. Simba is as smart as he is beautiful and is housetrained/crate trained.

He is up to date on all of his vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and all ready to go to his forever home.

If you can open up your fun, loving home to Simba please email, Elizabeth@k9safehouse.org.

More Adoptable Dogs and Puppies!



We've been super busy at Our Silly Dog Pack and have had a hard time keeping up on this site. A lot of our dogs have been adopted to great homes and their stories (as well as happy photos, if we have them) will be posted shortly!

Currently we have several great dogs in search of a great home. They are as follows:

First, we still have Maury (pictured above)! Maury is a five month old Boxer mix. He's very smart, playful and has an amazing sense of humor. He loves to play with other dogs and loves the company of all people (adults and kids, alike). He is fully housetrained and super cuddly
.

Next, we have two, three month old Shepherds, Neo and Jag. Neo and Jag are sweet (and beautiful) babies. They get along well with other dogs and have a lot of energy to burn. They would do best in a household with another dog or, even better, going to a forever home together!


Then we have Rebel, a ten month old boxer baby! Rebel is 40 pounds and likely will not grow too much larger. He is as sweet as he is handsome and has been in the shelter with his lab buddy, Sebastian (below). They are both available for adoption!
Sebastian is a happy-go-lucky Chochoalte Lab. He's a little over a year old and always has a smile on his face. Gets along great with other dogs, cats, kids and grown-ups, too! He and his friend Rebel (above) have been in the same kennel at the shelter for awhile and have become fast friends. It would be wonderful if these guys could be adopted together or if they could go to a home with a playmate!

We also have these three lab babies - 16 weeks -, 2 Yellow and one Black named, Treat, Trip and Trixie. Again, they are labs - great with people, kids, etc. They are babies and they LOVE to play together. Their picture really says it all!

Lastly, there is April! Look at that face! April is a sweet, affectionate, cuddly girl. She is a little over a year old and weighs about 25 pounds. Terrier mix? I don't know...your guess is as good as mine! April is in a foster home with several other dogs and gets along well with everyone. She is fully housetrained and a real smartie pants to boot!

If you are interested in providing any of these dogs with their forever homes, need more information or are looking for a particular breed/size/type of dog that you didn't see here, please email. Additionally, we are always seeking fosters and if you feel you can provide a temporary home for a dog in need, please email - Elizabeth@k9safehouse.org.

Thank you for considering saving a rescue dog!
