Dog of the week: Rover!




My name is Rover and my foster mom found me with my tail very badly skinned.  Someone thought they could dock my tail with a wire wrapped around my base.  I had to have my whole tail amputated but I still can wag my butt - which I do alot!  I am overall a happy boy.  I am a yellow lab mix, I guess.  I will play Frisbee all day long and catch it in mid-air and seem to have some kind of agility trianing.  I love to hear the crunch of milk jugs.  I am energetic and love to play, and I sit and shake on command.  I really love people, a lot.  I weigh about 65 lbs, have been neutered, heartworm treated and on preventative.  I have had all my shots, too.  I need a big yard or lots of trips to the park for exercise. I don't try to escape the fence, I just love to dig and lay in my self-made puddles.  But I somehow seem to stay reasonably clean.  Amazes my foster mom.  I go into my kennel with a treat, and am mostly house trained.  I will walk on a leash, but need more practice.  Thanks for giving me a look. Maybe there is someone (you maybe?) who needs a big fur guy for a friend and is willing to help me learn to be a good dog?  Please contact the nice rescue people about me - I would love to meet you.  Bring a frisbee!!

  1. hello I'm #2 and work to keep these dogs going with food and water, Rover really needs a good home because he is smart and can do most anything that he is taught. Who ever adopts this wonderful dog will be so proud of adopting a shelter dog. Thanks "Fred"
