Hi, Everybody! My intake name was Kenny, but my foster mom calls me Mr. Benny or Ben-Ben because I’m a real comedian! I’m called a “Bagle” so I’m a Basset-Beagle mix; I am full of energy, personality, and love! Sitting in a human’s lap to be loved on is my idea of heaven of earth! My foster mom says I need to work on my leash walking skills, but I’m doing an awesome job with my potty-training skills (Please, don’t be upset if I have accidents because I’m so excited to be in my new forever home!) For right now, I am crated when the humans are away from home or to sleep at night, but I may do fine when I realize what it’s like to have free run of the house at night. Because of my Beagle DNA, I have a strong scent drive so a secure fence extremely important for me. My foster mom told the Belly Rubs people micro-chipping might be a good idea, Don’t you want to be my hero by making me your forever Bagle boy??? Please, apply on-line at www.BellyRubs.org to make my dreams come true!

Teddy is a 2 year old basset mix. He is good with other dogs and shelter staff say he is very sweet guy. Keeps his kennel clean unless shelter staff get behind. He would love a forever home of his own. This sweetie is available and awaiting on his family. Apply at BellyRubs.org.

Buddy Boy iss a 2 year old and is a ball of energy so he needs a home where he can either go on lots of walks or has a fenced yard to play in, but the foster thinks he wouldn't do well being left alone as he loves being around people and enjoys playing with dogs. A home with no cats is probably best only because he will terrorize them because he wants to play. He has done well with potty training but is still not left in the house unattended. He is in a playpen as he hates crates. His only real issue is the food aggression he has but that is only because he thinks you are going to take his food away from him. I think this stems from something in his past and learning to trust someone could change that. He is very sweet, loves attention and will make a very loyal companion.

He needs to lose some weight, but that is quite manageable. He is good with other dogs and people. He is about 8 years old. Shots are up to date, current on heartworm and flea. He does fine with other dogs as far as we have seen. He is very vocal when out on his leash, but once he's introduced he is friendly. He actually had a dog run up and bite him once and he just stood there. He currently lives with another dog in the house. Does well with children and strangers. He loves to snuggle on the couch and in bed. Cries if not allowed in bed, but will eventually sleep on his dog bed if told no. Very house trained and crate trained. Likes short walks, but does not have the energy to walk for very long. He is very food motivated which works well for training, but also means that he will hunt down the garbage when your back is turned. We keep the trash can behind a closed door as he can be sneaky when he wants. “ This boy needs a loving home and some TLC. Are you it? Fill out an application at bellyrubs.org and start the process.

Jasper is a big hunk of love. In fact, we would like for him to slim down just a bit. We think some former owner really showed love with food. He loves cuddling and being near his foster mom. He really likes things his way and gets a little nervous if doctors and new folks want to manhandle him too much. He’s getting slimmed down and healthy and ready to be the center of someone’s home. Jasper hangs fine with his foster siblings but prefers people and most of all wants to be the boss and your main squeeze.

Show the dog the water and food bowl, the way to outside for potty breaks and the dog bed or couch and the hound is good. You will know the senior’s temperament, as it is already established.

Jesse is Daisy’s loyal caretaker. These two bonded pair are the sweetest dogs. Jesse, age 7, will make sure Daisy is taken care of before she settles in. And of course, they love to cuddle together.

Daisy is still a little skittish and has only recently realized that inside the house is ok. I’m sure once she discovers the couch she’ll never leave!
