FOSTER UPDATE 2/16/2012
I have been fostering Traveler for over a month and cannot even begin to tell you how sweet and loving he is. He is approximately 7 but has the energy and playfulness of a 2-year old. He greets me with a stuffed toy every day when I get home from work. He loves attention and will sit next to you and raise his paw for affection. He is completely potty trained (had an accident the first day I got him, but no more thereafter). He does great all day in the house while I’m at work and would not do well in a crate. He gets along great with other dogs and loves to play fetch and/or play with his toys, go on walks and absolutely loves the water and being outdoors. He tends to be a counter surfer but we have been working on his manners. I also noticed that he has a bit of hearing loss. He would be great with a family that has a big backyard and other dogs in which he could run and play. He will be such a great addition to a family that can provide him the love and attention that he has never had, yet needs so much!

INTAKE REPORT 1/7/2012
Traveler came to us yesterday as a stray and he had been out on the streets for several days.  A volunteer went and picked him up and got him to us.  He is in terrible shape, and appears to be an older gentleman, 7ish years old.  He has fluid buildup in his chest area behind his shoulder blades which makes him look like he has wings, but our doctors will have that taken care of in no time.  He was so very sweet and loving and seemed to be happy that he was with people again. He rode great in the car all the way here.  He was very dirty and will get a much needed good scrub!  He is going to make some lucky family a wonderful new member.
