Moxie

Moxie

Moxie is a sweet girl who is great with people and dogs and absolutely adores her bed. She will keep to herself but does get spurts of energy and will get playful and silly. If you are looking for someone to greet you at the door when you come home with happy barks and wags, Moxie is your girl! She loves to go for walks and say hello other dogs while on leash, which is something that can be worked on. She also loves to bask in the sun out in the yard.

Moxie came to us from a local shelter. We have her listed as special needs as she had a hole in the roof of her mouth that is thought to have been caused by a stick becoming lodged between her teeth. We had three surgeries conducted to repair the hole, but unfortunately it did not take. She acts “normal”, but this condition can result in nasal discharge and she has bouts of excessive sneezing. She has also been treated for heartworm and is now heartworm negative.

Moxie doesn’t need daily special care but she does have these issues that a potential adopter will need to consider. She has been in foster care and her foster mom would be more than happy to discuss her with a potential adopter.

Dan

Dan

Little “Dan the Man” was brought to an area shelter where it was determined that Dan was deaf and blind, which made him less adoptable. Due to his challenges, the shelter knew he would do better in a less stressful environment. Since arriving at the sanctuary, we’ve noticed he can “see” in some capacity, possibly shadows. He sways his head when he’s walking around, which we lovingly call his Stevie Wonder sway. He can be picked up easily once he knows you’re there and kind of expects it. Dan enjoys massages and head scratches. He sleeps a lot, but will try to follow you when you are walking around. He does not like anyone to mess with his food so we just let him eat and once he wanders away from the area we clean up whatever he may have missed or dropped. He will potty when brought outside but will potty inside as well. We haven’t tried a belly band on him yet but as long as he’s okay with wearing one, it will be very helpful. Dan deserves a home where he can spend the rest of his life feeling secure and loved.

Jameson

Jameson

Jameson came to Hallie Hill a bit overweight but as sweet as they come. He has some food allergies that require a hydrolyzed protein diet to prevent skin issues. Shortly after arriving at the Sanctuary, Jameson received surgery to repair a torn cruciate in his knee.

He was recently diagnosed with a condition called Masticatory Muscle Myositis, which has caused wasting in the muscles in his skull. He looks a little strange – maybe like Lurch on the Addams Family – but he’s a great dog and we love him anyway!

Goku

Goku

Goku was pulled from CAS by Pet Helpers, and adopted out 3 times, but always returned for aggressive/inappropriate behaviors. Pet Helpers invested over $1000 in training for Goku, but it did not solve the problem. In the shelter environment, he was only getting worse, so they asked if we could take him. He is a sweet and loving boy here at the sanctuary. His only negative behavior is at the fence line, he guards his territory. He is fantastic out in the community at events and shares an enclosure with another transfer from.

Queenie

Queenie

Queenie was one of three stray females trapped in a local neighborhood. She had a deep scar around her neck from where she was tethered as a puppy and was lame on a hind leg. X-rays revealed shotgun shrapnel. No wonder she was scared of humans! Amputation of a toe relieved her pain so now she walks comfortably. She enjoys playing with her kennelmate and has learned to trust people.
