[Picture] 8/16/2008   [08-08-003]   Jack
Jack Russell Terrier X,  red/white,  Male neutered,  Adult  
OWNER TURN IN: Jack is back with us because he was "too much dog" for his adoptive Mom to take care of. He would do best as an only dog as he likes to "interact" a bit too much with other pets in the household. He is definitely a terrier!
[Picture] 8/16/2008   [08-08-005]   Sassy
Labrador Retriever X,  black/dark brindle,  Female,  7 weeks  
OWNER TURN IN: Arrived at 5-weeks old as an owner surrender. The 7 pups were surrendered to the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County animal control and are now in foster care with Pintler Pets. Sassy is a cute, smaller pup who has a little bit of dark brown brindle coloring and a white spot on her chest. These pups are healthy, happy, and are well socialized. They are just beginning to develop their individual personalities. They are blank slates on which to write their life stories. Adoption pending.
[Picture] 8/16/2008   [08-08-008]   Lefty
Labrador Retriever X,  black with white on toes,  Male Intact,  7 weeks  
OWNER TURN IN: Lefty is the only one of this litter with white on anything but the chest. He has a little bit of white on his left foot, hence Lefty. These are darling little pups that will probably grow to medium sized dogs.
[Picture] 8/16/2008   [08-08-010]   Stockton
Labrador Retriever X,  dark brown brindle,  Male neutered,  7 weeks  
OWNER TURN IN: Stockton is the tinier of the males of this group. His coat is mostly brindle and he is all cuteness. Adoption pending.
[Picture] 8/16/2008   [08-08-006]   Cole
Labrador Retriever X,  black,  Male Intact,  7 weeks  
OWNER TURN IN: Cole is all black and looks the closest to a purebred Labrador (which of course he isn't). He is a classic example of the official, Montana State Dog - the black Lab cross. Fortunately, they are all darling with sweet dispositions. Adoption pending.
[Picture] 8/16/2008   [08-08-011]   Boomer
Labrador Retriever X,  black/brindle/white,  Male Intact,  7 weeks  
OWNER TURN IN: Originally surrendered to Anaconda-Deer Lodge County animal control by their owner. They are now in foster care. They are all healthy, happy, little pooping and pee-ing machines. They are sweet and are well socialized. Adoption pending.
[Picture] 8/16/2008   [08-08-009]   Malone
Labrador Retriever X,  dark brindle,  Male Intact,  7 weeks  
OWNER TURN IN: Originally surrendered to Anaconda-Deer Lodge animal controlat 5 weeks old, these 7 pups are now in foster care. They are definitely Labs with some brindle coloring mixed in. All are just adorable, fat and happy. Malone has a little bit of white on his chest with dark brindle coloring.
[Picture] 8/16/2008   [08-08-007]   Jazzy
Labrador Retriever X,  dark brown brindle,  Female,  7 weeks  
OWNER TURN IN: Arrived at 5-weeks old as an owner surrender. The 7 pups were surrendered to the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County animal control and are now in foster care with Pintler Pets. Jazzy is a beautiful, quiet (right now) pup who is mostly dark brown brindle. These little darlings are well socialized, and are chubby and healthy and happy.
[Picture] 8/13/2008   [08-08-004]   Peanut
Italian Greyhound,  white/steel gray,  Male neutered,  4 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Peanut is originally from El Paso County, Colorado and is microchipped. Peanut is super sweet, scared and needy. He is "mouthy" as far as taking a hand in his mouth and wouldn't be good with kids. He just wants to be held and to get out of the shelter situation. Don't just think of him as a pretty face; his new owner should be familiar with the breed and its requirements. Update: Peanut is in foster care.
[Picture] 7/29/2008   [08-07-018]   Sonny
Labrador/Husky X,  reddish yellow,  Male neutered,  1.5 yrs.  
STRAY: transfer from Anaconda-Deer Lodge animal control
Sonny is a happy youngster who would like to get out of the shelter, and be able to play and romp. He is a good boy who listens well and is an interesting combination of breeds resulting in a pretty coat and matching eyes.
[Picture] 7/29/2008   [08-07-016]   Bruno
Malamute,  black/gray/white,  Male neutered,  Adult  
STRAY: transfer from Anaconda-Deer Lodge County animal control
Bruno seems like a great dog for someone looking for a Husky. He has a beautiful, soulful face, a long lanky body, but his tail could use some work! He is a good boy who is obedient and doesn't pull too much on a leash, especially for a Husky. He is good friends with another Husky that came in with him, Chelsea. Adoption pending.
[Picture] 7/29/2008   [08-07-017]   Chelsea
Malamute X,  black/gray/white,  Female spayed,  Young Adult  
STRAY: transfer from Anaconda-Deer Lodge animal control
Chelsea and her friend Bruno both have the potential to be great dogs, but right now they need some TLC. Chelsea especially is fearful of being beaten. If you pat her, she acts like you are going to hit her. She does not bite but does need some patience; some time to get used to the idea that she is really a good dog. When she is happy, her facial expressions are just wonderful. She is small for a Malamute, and there has been some discussion that she may have some Husky in her heritage. Adoption pending.
[Picture] 7/26/2008   [08-07-020]   Delilah
Husky/Shepherd X,  gray/tan,  Female spayed,  10 weeks  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
Delilah is an absolutely adorable little thing with a face that just won't quit. She is spunky and outgoing. She presently gives the cats grief, but is young enough to learn that cats rule. Out on a test drive.
[Picture] 7/13/2008   [08-07-015]   Duke/Maverick
Labrador Retriever/Collie X,  black,  Male neutered,  10 Mo  
ABANDONED: abandoned outside our gate
Duke (originally Maverick) was adopted from us last year and abandoned outside our gate. He is a very nice dog who needs an appropriate home next time. He is fairly mellow and has an honest, handsome face.
[Picture] 7/11/2008   [08-07-011]   Patches
Australian Shepherd X,  blue merle/white,  Female spayed,  1.5 yrs.  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
Patches is the most shy of this group, but she is still very sweet. Of course, they have just arrived and are unsure of why they are here with plenty of good food, fresh water and people who speak kindly to them. We are sure they will get used to it. In foster care.
[Picture] 7/11/2008   [08-07-007]   Cinnamon
Heeler X,  red,  Female spayed,  2 Yr  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
Cinnamon is a sweet girl who will spice up your life. She, as well as many of these dogs, need to experience the good part of life. By the looks of the scars on her nose, she has had to fight for her food or to protect herself. Cinnamon is calm and rides well in a vehicle. She is not as small as she looks; she weighs 52 pounds.
[Picture] 7/11/2008   [08-07-008]   Cricket
Cowdog X,  tri - black/white/tan,  Female spayed,  8 Mo  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
Cricket, at 27 pounds, will never be a large dog. She is also a very shy dog who needs a lesson in Confidence 101.
[Picture] 7/11/2008   [08-07-006]   Echo
Australian Shepherd X,  multi-color, browns/white/black,  Female spayed,  Adult  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
Echo is about 1 year old and is 56 pounds. She could have the most beautiful coloring if her coat is taken care of. She arrived matted and we will have to work on that. After she is groomed, her coat will not be that difficult to take care of. She has an interesting assortment of black, white and browns. Like most of these dogs from Browning, Echo has no idea that leashes lead to great adventures. She must think they only lead to beating and bad things. Echo has the potential to be a great dog; she is not mean or snippy. Update: Echo's grooming was donated by Pauline's Pet Boutique in Butte. She is feeling oh-so-pretty now. She is still very shy and unsure on a leash but something tells us she will make a fantastic friend in the right home. She is tremendously loving and smart as a whip. Not good with cats.
[Picture] 7/11/2008   [08-07-014]   Brutus
Labrador Retriever X,  red-golden,  Male neutered,  7 Mo  
OWNER TURN IN: Brutus is an enthusiastic 7-month old pup who loves to play. He is a bit too active with very small children as he tends to knock them over with his play. He has grown up around kids though. He also has grown up with a doggie buddy. Brutus is mainly a dark reddish gold Labrador with a little bit of pitbull mixed in him. He is not aggressive, and is even on the timid and shy side. His owner can not handle two dogs with his work and one of them has to find a new home. Call 406-491-4147 if you are interested in Brutus. He is not at the shelter.
[Picture] 7/11/2008   [08-07-010]   Sandy
Cowdog X,  pale gold/white,  Female spayed,  Adult  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
Sandy is quite shy upon arrival, and we will have to work on that. So many of these dogs from Browning have had no training on a leash but should warm up readily. Sandy only weighs 25 pounds. They are available for dog walks to teach them that leashes are not bad things. They will need someone with patience, but from past experience, they soak up any attention they get.
[Picture] 7/11/2008   [08-07-012]   Fritz
Border Collie X,  black/white,  Male neutered,  3 Yr  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
Fritz is a beautiful, medium-sized dog at 48 pounds. Like most of these dogs, he views a leash as an instrument of torture instead of a lead to the freedom of a walkie. They need some work on walking on a leash and basic voice commands. They are all very sweet dogs who just want to be loved.
[Picture] 7/7/2008   [08-07-004]   Scout
Labrador/Pointer X,  black/white,  Male neutered,  1 Yr  
STRAY: transfer from Anaconda-Deer Lodge County animal control
Scout is on the smaller side, considering he is mostly Lab and maybe a little pointer too. He has a very handsome face and an athletic physique. He has a docked tail (sort of), perhaps because of an accident or maybe because his original owners thought he looked like a bird dog. He is basically a good dog and has the added advantage that he is a nice medium size.
[Picture] 7/3/2008   [08-07-001]   Izzy
Labrador Retriever X,  dark chocolate,  Female spayed,  3 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Izzy has a cute face and a very shiny dark brown coat. We don't know what her likes and dislikes are yet, but she seems like a very friendly dog.
[Picture] 7/2/2008   [08-07-003]   Libby
Shepherd X,  black,  Female spayed,  10 Mo  
OWNER TURN IN: Libby was with us as a pup from Browning last October. She was surrendered for chasing cats and birds. She also needs a secure fence. On the "up" side, she is an incredibly beautiful dog who seems to have a great propensity for learning. She possesses the shepherd intelligence. Libby walks pretty well on a leash and could be taught basic obedience in no time. She would definitely excel in a obedience class.
[Picture] 7/1/2008   [08-07-002]   Jake
Labrador Retriever,  yellow,  Male neutered,  1 Yr  
STRAY: transfer from Anaconda-Deer Lodge County animal control
Jake (such a unique name for a Lab!) is a rather large boy who could use a little work on obedience. He is much too big a dog to not know heel and sit. He is a willing learner and will make a great companion after he is polished. Update: Jake has turned out to be a fabulous loving dog who thrives on love and affection.
[Picture] 6/30/2008   [08-06-019]   Kusko
Malamute,  black/gray/white,  Male neutered,  3 Yr  
ABANDONED:
Kusko was found chained to a mailbox. He is a good big boy who may be a purebred Malamute, but also may have some Akita in him. He could use a good stripping of his coat for the summer months; he looks a little ragged at present. He walks pretty well on a leash for such a big boy. NGWC, GWD, GWK
[Picture] 6/23/2008   [08-06-017]   Rosebud
Aussie/Heeler X,  red/white,  Female spayed,  10 weeks  
OWNER TURN IN: Rosebud was surrendered when she was 6-weeks old and is presently in foster care. She is a cutie who currently weighs 15 pounds at 10-weeks old. She will need a cowdog-savvy owner as she is a smart and independent sort. She is ready to get out into the world and explore. Adoption pending.
[Picture] 6/10/2008   [08-06-002]   Nikki
German Shepherd X,  gold/black/white,  Female spayed,  3-4 yrs.  
OWNER TURN IN: Nikki is a beautiful long-haired German shepherd crossed(?) with a collie. She was surrendered for not getting along with the horses at her former home. She is somewhat choosy about her dog friends. She seems to have a lot of smarts and is basically a good dog that needs some direction. Her plume of a tail accents her gorgeous gold coat. She is very vocal as lots of shepherds are and will let you know when someone is around.
[Picture] 6/8/2008   [08-06-005]   Ginger
Border Collie X,  red merle/white,  Female spayed,  3 Yr  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
Ginger has the build and temperament of a Border collie, with just the faintest resemblance to having some Pitbull in her heritage. Her coat has just faintest merle coloring to it. She is just the sweetest thing who has obviously had way too many puppies in her short life. She is now spayed and looking forward to getting her girlish figure back as well as finally experiencing some fun and pampering. She was hanging out near the hospital in Browning looking for someone to rescue her. Update: Ginger is in foster care to give her a break from the shelter. She is still adoptable.
[Picture] 5/28/2008   [08-05-026]   Laci
Labrador/Shepherd X,  black,  Female spayed,  6 Mo  
STRAY: transfer from Anaconda-Deer Lodge County animal control
Sweet little Laci has her adult teeth and so we believe that she will not get too much larger. She is at least 6 months old. She and her brother Loki would do well with a family or active people who would get them plenty of exercise.
[Picture] 5/28/2008   [08-05-025]   Loki
Labrador/Shepherd X,  black,  Male neutered,  6 Mo  
STRAY: transfer from Anaconda-Deer Lodge animal control
Loki and his sister Laci appear to be black Labrador retrievers or shepherds crossed with something smaller... maybe a terrier. They are active, spunky little things.
[Picture] 5/14/2008   [08-05-014]   Calla
Shepherd/Cowdog X,  black/tan,  Female spayed,  5 Mo  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
Calla is a lovely little pup, who is somewhat shy but will bloom with time and attention. She will be a medium-sized dog. Updated photo as of 07/21/08.
[Picture] 5/14/2008   [08-05-013]   Irena
Cowdog/Collie X,  tri-dark brown/brown/white,  Female spayed,  5 Mo  
STRAY: transfer from Browning MT
This little girl is not shy at all. In fact, she will tell you all about herself. She is a spunky, smart thing who would probably do best in an active household. Updated photo as of 07/21/08.
[Picture] 5/12/2008   [08-05-027]   Shadow
Labrador Retriever,  black with gray muzzle,  Female spayed,  Older Adult  
OWNER TURN IN: Let's hear it for the full-figure gals who still like to kick up their heels. Shadow's family are divorcing and there was no place for Shadow. She originally came from our shelter a couple of years ago, and here she is again. She still gets spunky when she goes for a walk and is a happy girl. She takes an inexpensive, daily thyroid pill (which doesn't seem to be melting the pounds off as promised). No matter, she isn't too worried about her rather expansive girth but would do well with some daily exercise and a few less calories. Shadow would prefer a home with no other dogs to share with.
[Picture] 4/25/2008   [08-05-019]   Koda
Husky/Border Collie X,  black/white,  Female spayed,  1 Yr   Collar: red
STRAY: transfer from Anaconda-Deer Lodge County animal control
Koda is an energetic youngster who is loving life, but certainly doesn't want to spend it in a shelter. She would rather be out exploring the world and all it has to offer. She has the Husky- independence trait.
[Picture] 4/22/2008   [08-04-028]   Crisco
Lab/Pointer X,  black,  Female spayed,  1 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Crisco is listed as a Lab/hound cross on her impound form, but her head and athletic build looks more like a Lab/pointer mix. She is a beauty but needs the exercise that a hunting dog requires to be content. She has a classically beautiful head and a very lean, well muscled body.
[Picture] 4/21/2008   [08-04-035]   Joey
Lab/Shepherd X,  black,  Male neutered,  Adult  
STRAY: transfer from Anaconda-Deer Lodge County animal control
Joey is a beautiful, big, happy dog. He loves to be brushed after a bath and walks well on a leash. We would guess he would like water but haven't tried him yet. He is a nice combination of breeds, with the friendliness of a Lab and the intelligence of a shepherd. His coat is a bit longer and is quite a bit softer than most Labs. Update: Joey is touring the Bitterroot Valley to see if he can get a home there thanks to the Mobile Pet Adoption Center folks. We will let you know when he does.
[Picture] 7/10/2007   [07-07-002]   Little Guy
Labrador Retriever X,  black/white,  Male neutered,  4 Yr  
OWNER TURN IN: Little Guy is good with other dogs and kids, but needs a home without cats. He loves to play with tennis balls and will entertain himself with them constantly... not stuffed toys, not tennis balls on a string, but yellow tennis balls. He may make a great working dog.
