Pit bulls abandoned at boarding facility

gar-ike.jpgGar and Ike are about 8 months old. Their former owner left them at the boarder's and never returned for them. They are people-friendly and OK with most other dogs. Foster mom feels they should be adopted separately and wouldn't recommend a home where there are cats.

They are crate-trained, need a little work on housebreaking, and very playful. They are, of course, strong like that breed is.

When a visitor stopped to by, they barked at first but were by no means ferocious guard dogs. When she walked in the gate, they greeted her with wagging tails. They did jump up, but she said "Sit!" and they did. They have great potential to be wonderful pets and need someone willing to work with them now, while they're so young.

For details, e-mail robinp2@ptd.net.

Sweet Jindo dog needs home ASAP

Kathleen lives in L.A. and her father recently passed away suddenly at his home in Harrisburg, PA. Kathleen is there now, frantically settling his affairs and trying to find a home for his sweet Jindo dog, Lucy.

Lucy has been with Kathleen's father her whole life, is about 8 or 9 years old, healthy and very sweet with people; however, she would do best in a home without other pets.

If you know anyone in Pennsylvania that can help re-home Lucy and prevent her from being taken to a shelter, PLEASE call Kathleen at (323) 447- 8997. She has few resources in PA and needs her dad's beloved dog re-homed immediately.

Here are some photos of Jindo dogs (these aren't Lucy, just an example of what Jindo dogs look like):
