Dog of the week: Monty!

Meet Monty!

Monty is a young, happy, spunky Poodle who is searching for his forever home.

Monty was surrendered to LOYAL through a local SPCA shelter after he had been hit by a car, suffering a broken leg. After being fully vetted, Monty was placed in foster care in a home that was not able to keep him long-term; you see, Monty isn't fond of men (likely caused by abuse in his past), and unfortunately there was a man living in his foster home that Monty did not get along with.

While Monty is a friendly, outgoing fellow who gets along well with other dogs (and who would love a dog friend to live with!), he deos have his insecurities surrounding men and would do best in a female-only home, or in a home where the man will give him lots of time, patience and understanding as he settles in and learns to trust again.

Monty would do best in an adult-only, experienced home where he can be taught rules and taught how to live with a family.  He can play rough, though he means well, so dogs over 10 lbs. are recommended.  Monty would also love a fenced yard to run wild in.  Who wouldn't?!

Could you be the right family for Monty?  Submit an application through our website and find out!  Until then, Monty will wait patiently, paws crossed, in his foster home.

Dog of the week: Mickey!

Mickey is an adorable 10-year-old Maltese who, through no fault of his own, is on the search for a new forever family.  Unfortunately Mickey's former family did not care for him or his brother throughout their lives, and recently surrendered them to LOYAL Rescue as they had purchased a new puppy.

But Mickey doesn't want to dwell on the sad state of his surrender, and is ready and willing to put it behind him and to move on with his life.  He visited a vet (for the first time since 2001, in fact!), had some dental work done, and is now spic and span and officially available for adoption!

Mickey is good with other small dogs, and would be ok with older children who are respectful of his age and his size.  Cats are not recommended.  Mickey is house trained and leash-trained, and loves to soak up all the attention his foster family sends his way.

Mickey would love to become the newest member of a quiet family where someone is home all or at least most of the day.  He loves his humans, and would not be well-suited to being alone for long periods of time. 

If you are interested in adopting Mickey, please submit an application through our website, or send us an e-mail for more information.

Mickey is waiting!
