My PC crashed :( -- please be patient!

My PC unfortunately has crashed... so while I'm rebuilding my documents (and my transport lists) it might take me a while to get back to updating this. Most of the pages have shelter links and I'd encourage you to go directly to those pages while this is being updated. I'll get back to it as soon as I can!

THANKS!

Lab/Chow mix – Control # 04-15-08-1

Hi there! I am a young, unaltered boy who has a lovely yellow coat. I do have a lot of the young lab energy still and would guess I am around 2 years old, give or take. I am really sweet and I loved being visited by a young child recently. I was running around trying to find someone to play with when I got picked up. I am already to go, so come out and meet me!

Doberman mix – Control # 12-26-07-2

Well, hello there stranger. I was taken from my owner because they were forgetting to feed me. I was only bones when I came in, so the staff affectionately calls me Bones. Though I was severely underweight when they got me, I have filled out and now am a nice weight and am all ready to go. I have not let my bad experience dissuade my positive opinion of humans; I absolutely love them. I am not food aggressive, either. I am a big, unaltered boy, weighing around 70lbs and am a gentle giant. I am not sure how old I am, but I do have a little graying around the muzzle showing I am not a puppy anymore. My bags are packed and I am ready for my new home… will that be you?

Pit Bull – Control # 05-03-08-4

It’s so nice to meet you! I am a very sweet, younger girl around 2 years old. I was out wandering around away from my puppies when I got picked up. No one is sure what happened to them, so I am a bit sad right now. I am still full of milk, so I don’t quite have my girly figure back yet. I am medium sized, about 45lbs, and am not real hyper. I am pretty quiet and low key. I enjoyed the attention I got today and was ready to pose for the picture. I am available now, and I sure do look forward to meeting you!

Lab/Setter mix – Control # 04-30-08-5

Hello! It is so great to meet new people. My name is Rocky, and like my brother Barnyard, I too shared a home with Bones. Now I am here looking to find my new forever home. I am a really happy, unaltered boy who is somewhere between two and three years old. I am on the large side at around 60lbs, but I don’t jump up on anyone. I have such a beautiful coat, but was so excited to get out and meet new people that my picture really doesn’t show how beautiful it is. I am really soft, too! I have some manners and know how to sit. I am really sweet and can’t wait to share my huge heart with you!

Lab/Setter mix – Control # 04-30-08-4

Hi! My name is Barnyard, and like my brother Rocky, I too shared a home with Bones. So, here I am looking for my forever home. You will have to excuse my picture, but I was so excited to meet new people it was impossible to sit still! I am a really happy, unaltered boy who is somewhere between two and three years old. I weigh about 60lbs, but I am not a jumper. My coat may not be as beautiful as my brother’s, but I still can hold my own and am pretty soft myself. I have some manners and know how to sit. I can’t wait to find someone to share my huge heart with!

Domestic Short Hair – Control # 05-10-2008-1

Well, hello there! How are you? I am a sweet, unaltered boy who came up to the Animal Control worker for some loving when I got brought here. I am a bit shy being in this kennel, but otherwise I am outgoing and sweet. I am around a year old and have some very lovely yellow eyes. My photographer tried very hard to get a picture of them, but wouldn’t you know, I blinked for each picture. I will be ready to go on the 16th of May, so until then, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Domestic Short Hair – Control # 05-08-2008-1

Short Hair Mix – Control # 05-07-08-3

Hello. I am an adult female who is not altered. I am feral, so I am quite shy around people. I am a bit slim and weigh only about 7lbs. I was caught in a trap around McDaniel Drive and was brought here to find my new home. I won’t be available until May 13th, but I hope it is with you!

Mix Long Hair – Control # 05-05-2008-2

Well hello there! I am a kennel mate with the orange guy who is very shy. I am not as shy as he is, but I do respond to his reactions. There is some confusion as to how I got here. I was told that I was brought here by someone, but my paperwork says I was a stray. I am an adult male who is unaltered and have a very soft black coat. I have some beautiful green eyes and do come to sniff you if you put your hand out for me. I will be available the 13th of May and look forward to my new home!

Mix Long Hair – Control # 05-05-2008-3

I am an unaltered adult male who has green eyes. I am listed as feral due to my shyness. I will be available the 13th of May and look forward to finding my new home.

Domestic Short Hair – Control # 05-10-2008-2

Hi, hi, and hi again. I am a very young girl (only about 9 months at best) who is very eager to get some loving. Forget the treats and toys, all I want is you! I was so eager to get some attention that I was falling out of the kennel. I didn’t make it easy for some pictures to be taken of me because I didn’t want to hold still for them. I have a very soft orange and white coat and pretty gold eyes. I was trapped and brought in the same day my picture was taken, in fact I was still a little wet. I will be ready to go the 16th of May and can’t wait to be loved on… oh sorry, I mean go home with you!

Hello! I am a feral unaltered guy who is small at about 7lbs. I have some large green eyes that get so big when I am worried. I was caught in a trap and brought to this place not too long ago, so I will not be ready until the 13th of May. I am very eager to leave this loud place, so I look forward to meeting you soon.

Domestic Long Hair – Control # 05-06-2008-1

Hi there! I am a younger guy, about 2 years old, who has not been altered yet. I have a pretty grey coat and yellow eyes. I am listed as feral, but showed a lot of interest in the people I met today, though I was a little shy. I allowed them to touch me though, so I am not a mean guy! I was trapped a little while ago, so will be able to go on the 12th of May and look forward to meeting you then!

Please know that King George Animal Control http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/VA258.html has rules for adoption which are outlined in the following paragraphs. If you a building a separate webpage with photos that are contained within this email, please be sure ensure that potential adopters are aware of these King George Animal Control guidelines.


(1) Spayed/Neutered cats or dogs may be adopted by anyone. Residents of King George have first option on available animals, over other individuals & organizations. Other eligible adopters may adopt available animals on a first come, first serve basis. Other Agencies & Certified Companion Animal Rescue Groups (501(c)(3) organizations) may also adopt animals per state law.


(2) Unsterilized animals may only be adopted by residents within King George, Westmoreland, Essex, Caroline, Spotsylvania, or Stafford Counties, and the city of Fredericksburg. Residents of King George have first option on available animals, over other individuals & organizations. Other eligible adopters may adopt available animals on a first come, first serve basis. Other Agencies & Certified Companion Animal Rescue Groups (501(c)(3) organizations) may also adopt animals per state law.

(3) If you are an individual (not representing a Certified Companion Animal Rescue Group) interested in adopting an "Unsterilized" dog or cat, and you do not reside in one of above mentioned Virginia counties, you will need to contact a qualified 501(c)(3) organization to adopt the animal for you. Please email Dani at shelterhelp@kgarl.org.

(4) I am able to help arrange local transports if you are a rescue group and have your paperwork on file at the shelter (see #5 for details). If you are not a 501(c)(3), I may still be able to help. Before I pull an animal, I ask that the receiving party contacts the shelter first to ensure the animal's temperament, size, age, breed, etc, is what you're looking for. Please email Dani at shelterhelp@kgarl.org.

(5) Those certified organizations that express interest in dogs and cats, if you have not already done so, please ensure the correct documentation is on file with the KGAC so that you may pull animals. King George Animal Control will require the following required documents to be faxed (540-775-5770) to them as per Virginia standards: (1) the rescue organization must fax their 501(c)(3) determination letter, and (2) the rescue organization must fax their "No Cruelty Disclosure" statement to the VA animal control facility. The "No Cruelty Disclosure" statement must be on the rescue organization's official letterhead and signed by a head officer of their organization. In the "No Cruelty Disclosure" statement you may need to add some words to the effect that no one in the organization has been convicted of animal cruelty. After you have faxed your documentation, please contact the shelter to confirm that your documentation has been approved. Once your documentation is on file at King George Animal Control, you are eligible to adopt dogs, cats, and other animals.

(6) Special rules for adoption apply to the adoption of Pitbull and Pitbull-Mix dogs. Please see the King George Animal Control website (http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/VA258.html) for details.

If you would like to be added or removed from this weekly email, please email Dani at shelterhelp@kgarl.org.

CARMEN is an approx. 1 year old tricolor female Hound mix. She is very sweet and a little shy, vocal but not too much. She does well with cats and other dogs. She is working on leash training and does ok in a crate but is housebroken. She would be a great buddy for another dog!





NICKI is a pretty black and tan approx. 1 year old female Shepherd mix. She is a little unsure of herself and has the potential to become a really good girl with some TLC. She is shy and doesn't do very well with other dogs because of her insecurity. Desperately needs a foster home!






BUSTER is an adorable red and white 1-2 year old male Boxer mix. He is a really good boy who walks well on the leash and is playful and athletic. He is housebroken, very quiet, crate trained and gets along with other dogs and cats.
**Pic coming soon**

PHOEBE is a cute black and white 1 year old spayed female Border Collie/Terrier mix. She weighs about 40 lbs and is good with everyone. She is an active girl who is improving every day! She'd do very well in a foster-based rescue.

















TIRA MISU is a gorgeous black and white 2 year old female Lab mix. She is eager to please and has come a long way since getting out of the shelter!
**Pic coming soon**

MAX is a handsome approx 3 year old black and tan male Hound mix. He weighs about 60 lbs and has a horrible scar down his back. Despite his scars, he's a beauty! He gets along fine with other dogs and is a good boy.





LOTTIE is a sweetheart of a tricolor 5 year old female Walker Hound. She weighs about 55 lbs and is such a good girl!







HEIDI is a sweet 1+ year old blonde Lab/Shepherd mix. She is a good girl who is desperate for a rescue where she can go into a foster home. She is good with other dogs.
