Skylar is a young (1 or 2-year-old) yellow lab/hound mix that was dropped off at Briarcliff in June of 2011. She is amazingly smart and sweet. She loves her crate, knows come, sit, stay, is working on lay down, and is fully house trained. She is long and lanky, weighing around 65 pounds — and is healthy as can be. She is very lovable, and especially loves to have her belly rubbed! Skylar is a high energy dog outside but knows how to lay down and relax indoors with her family. She also is very sociable with other dogs — the life of the party at the dog park! — although she does sometimes run over little dogs on accident. She needs to learn her size! She has not had much contact with cats or young children yet, but her size and clumsiness may be a little too much for them. Skylar has tested negative for heartworms, is spayed, vaccinated (distemper/parvo, rabies, bordetella), and is currently on heartworm/flea preventative. If you or someone you know needs a big, sweet goofball in their life, Skylar is the girl for you!

We have a new pet up for adoption!  Ralphie is a 4-month-old boy, and he is super sweet.  He loves cats, too!  He doesn’t want a Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle for Christmas – he just wants a new family.  Would he fit into yours?

**Please note – a puppy is a lifelong commitment! Make sure you have the time and energy to train and raise him, and that he will fit into your family.  All of our dogs come spayed/neutered, vaccinated (distemper/parvo, rabies, bordetella), heartworm and fecal tested, treated if heartworm positive, dewormed, treated for any other medical ailments, and kept on heartworm/flea preventative.

On Saturday, October 22nd, join us at our College Park location for the annual Paws on Pavement event.  We will have a 4-mile run/2-mile walk that you can complete with your dog, a pet costume contest, a raffle with tons of great prizes, a bake sale, and many more fun activities!  There are prizes for 1st and 2nd place in the race, for 1st and 2nd place in the pet costume contest, and gift bags for all registered participants.

Details on the event, including a route map and information on registration, can be found on our firstgiving site.  There is also a Facebook event.  Please join us, and help spread the word!
