[Picture] 8/30/2010   [10-Sammy]   Sammy
Long-haired Chihuahua,  Blonde,  Male neutered,  6 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: We are finally at a point that we can start trying to find a new home for Sammy. I took him in about a month and a half ago. He was a lap dog for an elderly woman who needed a companion. He was never socialized with other dogs or people. He is six years old and has been with this woman the whole six years. Unfortunately, his owner was put in a home and when Sammy bit a child at the rest home she was told she could no longer keep him. Sammy did not come out of his kennel voluntarily for weeks. He would bite anyone who came close enough to get bit, but being the fast learner I am, I now only have one scar and one nicely chewed up pair of leather gardening gloves! He was absolutely terrified of both people and other dogs. However, Sammy has proven to be a very brave little guy who has made tremendous progress! He is a very loving and snuggly little boy who just needs time to adjust to new people. He no longer bites my husband and I and only occasionally bites the kids. He will need to be adopted to a home with no children, no other dogs, and an owner who knows they will need to be patient with him while he gets to know them. Sammy is tiny in stature but not personality! He is a true lap dog. He will snuggle with you on your lap while you are sitting and will sleep way down under the covers in your bed at night. Now that he has gotten to know me, he is right by my side no matter what room I am in. He politely asks to be picked up and lays quietly in your lap or beside you no matter what you are doing. He is completely housetrained, leash trained and sticks close to you when not on a leash. He is truly an easy little dog to own and will be loyal and faithful for the rest of his life if someone is willing to take the time to get to know him. He needs a quiet home with low traffic, since he does not adapt to new people very easily. FMI please contact Lynette at (406) 270-7072 or email: lynette@polsonfitness.com .

Terrier/Poodle X,  Wheaten,  Male neutered,  7-9 mos.  
OWNER TURN IN: Schoodle and Snickers came to Life Savers when their owner could no longer care for them. They are a couple of cuties, both about 16 pounds. Snickers is the more outgoing of the two. Both dogs will need some TLC as they didn't get much attention in their previous home. A gentle hand and some basic training will go a long way here. If you think you can offer one or both a loving, lifetime home, please fill out one of our matchmaking forms at: http://www.lsar.org/dog_matchmaking_form.htm

[Picture] 7/2/2010   [10-Pablobo]   Bo
American Shelter Dog,  tri-colored,  Male neutered,  Young Adult  
STRAY: Pablo
American Shelter Dog is a new phrase to describe the many dogs shelters/rescues get whose breeds are hard to identify. Bo is one of those ( locally we call them Pablo Purebreds). He's kinda Heeler, kinda shepherd, kinda ??? He appears to be sweet and gentle and a little shy (somewhat head-shy too). He was found in Pablo and rather than turn him loose on the streets, the finder called us, at which time one of our foster volunteers came to his rescue. FMI please leave a message for Chris at (406) 883-1853 or 249-1161 or email: kenneth107@centurytel.net. You can also contact Diane at (406) 883-8049 or 212-7544 or email: parkerandpets@yahoo.com .
[Picture] 6/15/2010   [10-Rain]   Rain
Labrador Retriever X,  black,  Female spayed,  1 Yr

Well socialized, she gets along with other dogs and loves people. She's probably never played fetch, but has taken to it like a Lab to water. If you have an active lifestyle, she will be a wonderful addition. Remember, Labs are NOT lawn ornaments to be tied out in a yard. FMI please contact Karen at (406) 883-0140 or email: karenduty@hotmail.com .

Rat Terrier X,  tri-colored,  Male neutered,  Young Adult  
STRAY: San Bernardino, CA
Mckensie is under-socialized and will need an experienced owner to help him make the transition to become the happy companion we know he can be.

[Picture] 5/22/2010   [10-Bella]   Bella
American Staffordshire Terrier,  tan/white,  Female spayed,  8 Mo  
OWNER TURN IN: Bella is a 5-month old Staffordshire Terrier whose owner had to give her up due to personal health issues. She is very sweet and can be quite a clown at times. What makes Bella so special is that she is deaf, but this is not a handicap. She is currently in a puppy class and gets private training to learn sign language. The person who adopts Bella must be very dedicated to her and her continued training. She will be trained with a vibrating collar to get her attention, but she will need constant supervision, and for her own safety must be in an enclosed area or on a leash when she is outdoors. If you feel you have this level of commitment to give Bella, please call Karen at (406) 883-0140 or email: karenduty@hotmail.com. To follow updates on her training, go to: http://www.lsar.org/events.htm

Pit Bull Terrier X,  Brindle,  Female spayed,  Young Adult  
OWNER TURN IN: Ginger is a beautiful girl - inside and out. She's got a sweet and gentle disposition. She is good with other dogs and children but has been abused by men so they must earn her trust. Update from her foster Mom: "She is coming along nicely and beginning to trust more and more every day. She joins me daily on my run and plays forever with all our other dogs. I don't think she should go into a home with cats." FMI please contact Marcy at (406) 883-2300 or 471-9813 or e-mail: dimondmarcy@yahoo.com .
[Picture] 3/29/2010   [10-Huck]   Huckleberry Hound
Plott Hound X,  brindle,  Male neutered,  3 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Courtesy listing: Huck is an affectionate and loving dog. He adores human companionship. He is high energy outside but just wants to lie down near you inside. He is good with our cats but will chase strange cats. He has been exposed to smaller dogs (we have two) but tends to be a bit of a bully. He is not good with strange dogs. He is great with kids. Huck would be best in a home where he will get lots of exercise, or he may be a hunting companion. He has a great nose, is extremely smart and is very athletic. He is very vocal. Huck came to our home as an abused puppy. It took a great deal of time to gain his trust and confidence as he was starving and beaten. He has never shown any sign of aggression towards a human being even though he was treated so badly. He is very strong and stubborn, however, and needs to be worked with by someone strong enough and patient enough to handle him. If you think this is a good match, please call me, Sarah Wilkerson, 406-212-3509 or e-mail: montanawench2001@yahoo.com , and we will arrange a meeting. References requested.
