Pet(s) of the week...

Ruby

Ruby is a one year old Border Collie/Lab mix. She is a doll! In her one short year she has already had a litter of puppies and not had a lot of socialization with other dogs. Now that she is in foster, she knows for the first time what it is to just be a dog! She loves to run and play, but she is relatively mellow for a young Border Collie. She loves people and children, great with cats and once she gets to know other dogs she is great with them. Her only issues to work on would be introductions with other dogs. She is fearful at first and show aggressive signs when meeting them, but we have only been working on this with her for under a week now. In no time she be able to meet other dogs very easily, we are confident. She also has a tendancy to guard her food, not with people but with other animals. We are feeding her separately from the other animals she lives with now and there is no problems. But again, this can easily be resolved too. Ruby loves to snuggle and is super on a leash! She is the kind of dog that would LOVE to learn tricks if you have the time to teach her. She is already very good at sit and down. 'Stay' we are working on :] if you want to inquire about Ruby contact savethepetseugene@gmail.com

ALSEA - Adopted!!

Alsea is a female pitbull terrier mix. She is a medium sized young adult. She has been at Lane County Animal Shelter for quite some time and was just taken into foster. We hope to give her a shot at finding the family she is suppose to spend her life with. Could it be you?
For more information or to meet Alsea contact us at savethepetseugene@gmail.com or call 541 683-7387.

ZOE

Zoe is a very, very sweet girl that was recently taken into a foster home with Save the Pets. We hope she will be able to get a little bit more attention now - and hopefully find a forever home soon. Zoe is much more than just a 'little black dog' (please note that black pets unfortunately have the lowest adoption rates)! She has been to adoption events and is well-loved by the volunteers.

Zoe is a young adult, mixed breed. She looks to be part Boston Terrier, Boxer, or AmStaff. She has plenty of energy and is playful. When she is taken out of her kennel she is ecstatic, excited, and energetic! But, after the initial excitement, she calms down and is a total cuddle-bug! She loves to sit on laps, be hugged, and snuggle with you. When you pet her she looks like she will fall asleep.

Zoe already knows 'sit' and 'lay down', and she's definitely responsive especially with treat rewards. Email us for more details savethepetseugene@gmail.com or call 541 683-PETS.

'Volunteer of the Month'

Renee Douglas

Renee has been in rescue LONG before Save the Pets was formed and she did it all on her own for the sake of the animals. She doesn't care about recognition or praise, she just wants to save as many lives as she can. And that is EXACTLY what she does! If she cannot find a place for a dog to go that is in jeopardy of being put down, she'll take the dog home. And whenever a dog goes home with Renee, we know that dog will be saved! She is dedicated, loyal, and a true saint in our book. Thank you Renee!

Julia Bowlin - February 2009

Julia is one of those people you call when you need help and you know she'll be there for you! She is our dog trainer we work with to help the dogs 'with issues' or are hard to place. Julia thinks all dogs are adoptable making her PERFECT for our Save the Pet's trainer! There is no issue too big or too small that Julia with with. She has helped hundreds of families with issue their dogs were having and probably caused a lot of unnecessary animals to be sent to the shelter or worse. She is truly a gift to us. Thank you Julia!!!

Cindy Munyon - January 2009

We LOVE Cindy! She has been around since the beginning with Save the Pets and she is always there when you need her. She fosters, transports, does home-checks, takes videos and photos of the dogs not to mention does almost daily adds wherever she can post to find homes. She is amazing! She has been a life saver in some of the most desperate of times. Words cannot express how appreciated she is. Another angel amongst us. Thanks Cindy!!!
