Hossman

Hossman is a sweet Fawn boy. He loves to go for walks, rides and running in the backyard. Out of nowhere he will pick up a toy and just toss it around the house. (He sounds like an elephant when he does.) He is a beautiful fellow who would love to find a loving forever home. He is definitely a couch potato and would rather be on the couch or chair (someplace soft and comfy) than be on the floor. Hossman would prefer not to have a home with cats or very small dogs. He is a special hound who suffers from a seizure disorder, and is currently on medication that is controlling his seizures very well. He has been in foster care for some time and they have really helped him find the correct medication and dosage to get his seizures under control. He will need to go to a home committed to giving him his medication on schedule. This medication is not expensive (under $10 for a three month supply, see below for more information) so please do not let this disorder or need for medication distract your interest in this handsome boy.

Below is an update from his foster home:
Hossman's medicines cost under $10.00 for a three month supply. We do not have him on any special diet, but he tends to eat anything that he can smell on the counter, in the sink, out of our coffee cups...you get the idea. He has had only a couple of seizures this past year. If there is a drastic change in his environment then he will probably have one. We were away overnight and someone stayed at the house, and he had one then. There is really nothing you can do other than just make sure there are no other dogs around him when he does have a seizure and keep him from hurting himself. When it is over they are very disoriented and will pace the house and drink lots of water. It is best to keep a log of his seizures so the vet knows what is going on.

He loves to lie on the couch and will not move unless you move him. He prefers a chair to the floor. When he is let out in our back yard, he will run and pounce the other dogs. I have to keep an eye on him so he does not get too rough.

Watching him play with toys is hysterical. He will throw them everywhere, and yes, he thinks our shoes are his toys. I have never seen him chew up anything. He crates fine as long as there is a very comfy quilt in it.

Nitro

Nitro has been in his new foster home for 3 weeks now. He was originally labeled a spook, but that's not entirely accurate. When off leash in the house or in a fenced yard, he will stay away from people. Of his own choice he prefers to stay in the kennel room. When in a fenced area he will stay away from people and will move if you head in his direction. However once the leash is attached he is a completely different dog. He LOVES going for walks. Without a fenced yard in his new foster home, he has had to face the world. Nothing seems to faze him. He has ignored the traffic;paid little attention to the small yappy dogs running their fence line when we walk buy; the horses when they walk by the dog stall in the barn and has shown little interest in the wild turkeys in the yard. We have met snow machines without incident and today the neighbors shooting guns, no reaction. Completely cat safe as well. Jumps into the van, lays down and not a peep out of him. When no one is looking he will sneak into the living room and bring stuffies to the kennels and the ones that make special noise will be destroyed. He will come from his kennel when called and now that he has learned our walk routine, will come out on his own when it's time. He even barked at me last week when I wasn't getting ready fast enough. He may always be a bit of a recluse, but otherwise he will be a very nice dog for someone willing to let him be the dog he wants to be. It would be great if someone adopts him and continues walking him as he loves the outside world.

Angie - New Arrival!

Angie is a recent return due to her owners illness and was unable to care for her any longer. She is settling in at her foster home with a pack of other GH's. At her initial placement she was thought to not be cat safe and not comfortable around small children. She will be evaluated again with cats and children. She was a bit overweight when she arrived and was tested for any thyroid issues. She is now on thyroid meds and is beginning to slim down. She loves exploring the yard and smuggling on the couch.
