Meet Matt!! This ball of energy has a huge heart and is wanting to be your new best pal. Matt is not only handsome but super sweet! He is fabulous with other dogs and cats, enjoys going to dog daycare, dog parks, hiking, running, and long walks. He is very nervous in new surroundings, and needs a confident and dedicated person to help him blossom. Because of his shyness, he would do best in a quiet home with a steady routine.
As you can see in the video, Matt does great at daycare! Are you that special someone Matt's been looking for to show him the ropes of the good life? Give Matt a chance to show you how sweet he is!

Movie star name, movie star looks, and movie star charm- that's our Matt! This handsome (oh, so handsome) boy is a showstopper, a head-turner and a crowd pleaser. He is also housetrained, crate trained, playful with dogs, great with people and extremely silly. It's hard to say enough about what a great dog Matt Damon is to have in one's life. You might think a dog like this has it all, but our Matt has had some challenges. When a malnourished Matt was rescued from a county shelter, we noticed he didn't walk quite right. A visit to the orthopedic vet confirmed there were issues. Shockingly, the issues were with all four legs and each one needed surgery. We were incredibly fortunate to be able to raise the funds from generous donors to pay for all of Matt's surgeries and his rehab laser treatments. He is doing incredibly well and is totally ready to find his new family. He is looking for a loving home (LOTS of love) that doesn't include too many stairs and does include canine socialization opportunites (he LOVES to play with dogs. Matt will settle in and be an amazing companion sleeping at your feet when he is tired, and eager to join in on any adventure.

Nyla is as sweet as she looks. She came to us from a local shelter and was so happy to be in her new foster home, all she did was wiggle and smile for hours! Nyla loves to sniff out new friends, canine and human alike, but we’re not sure how she does with cats. She is also sometimes picky about men and may get nervous around some. She has a boxer-like energy level (which means there’s plenty to go around!) and loves to play or go on walks and explore. Nyla is incredibly well behaved and is a fast learner when taught through positive reinforcement, so she would love it if her new owner would teach her more, especially how to fetch! Right now, she will go and get a ball or bone, but then will plop down anywhere to play instead of bringing it back. At the end of a hectic day, she loves nothing more than to lay at your feet or lay her head in your lap while you relax. She is pure joy bottled in a doggie body, and her name means “champion”. Won’t you let her be the champion of your heart? For more information, contact her foster at cmpilch08@yahoo.com.

What a face! Beagle mix, the shelter said, but we're still guessing about Patti's "mix." Collie? Sheltie? Cattle Dog? We really don't know.

Paul came to Lost Dog from Puerto Rico where he lived the life of a street dog. He is a little shy on meeting new people, but is eager to make new friends and learn about the comforts of a real home. Paul is an energetic dog who would benefit from a fenced yard, and he would do well with another dog in the household.

Breed:Chihuahua mix Sex:Male Age:Approx. 3 year(s) Color: Tan with white Size: Approx. 15 lbs. Status: Available with foster Good With Kids: No Good With Cats: Not Yet Determined Good With Dogs: Yes
When Peanut came to us, his back legs were twisted like pretzels. (Hang on. There's a good almost-ending.) His knees were severely bent, and he could only scoot on them. After four surgeries and lots of physical therapy from his foster, he has full use of his left rear leg and always improving use of his right rear leg. How's his behavior, you wonder? Starting with the basics, Peanut is housetrained and crate-trained already. He's a very sweet and loving dog with his people and is a wonderful snuggle companion. Peanut is shy and can be unsure with strangers. (An easy, gentle approach seems to work just fine with him, though.) He's understandably defensive about his legs, so he's not good with children. How about his personality? Peanut is quite the imp! He likes running (yes, running) in a fenced yard and playing with dog friends. He loves his favorite stuffed frog, ropey toy, and chew bones. This little rascal also enjoys burrowing under pillows, raiding laundry piles, and emptying closets of as many shoes as he can. This cutie is going to make you smile! Yes, Peanut has come so far, but it's still just an almost-ending. It won't be a real happily-ever-after until Peanut has a home with you forever. For more information about Peanut, please contact his foster at Sewdoll@aol.com.

Peanut Butter is a complete love bug. She adores people, and is soft and velvety to pet. She’s good on the leash, crate trained and is in the process of learning basic commands. She is an eager learner who just needs someone with a firm hand and patience. She would be a GREAT companion for a runner. Because of her high energy level and enthusiastic greetings, we are not recommending her with smaller children. Peanut Butter needs to be an only pet for the time being. She gets very excited when she meets other pets out walking, so she will need an experienced owner to help teach her how to greet others calmly and politely. For more information, contact gmbaron@gmbaronlaw.com.

We have heard it said that a dot on top of a dog's head is an angel's kiss. We think that might be true, since Pearl was one of the lucky ones who got out of the shelter and got brought to the Lost Dog Ranch. She is getting used to her new life and can't wait to start her forever life with her new family.

It's not that Priscilla has a short attention span, it's just that she wants to keep moving. This girl is so zippy! She's a very energetic dog and likes to zoom around investigating everything. Priscilla does take a break from all the adventure she uncovers, and she likes to share her love with her person. Soon she's back on her paws and racing around. She did well with other dogs at the Lost Dog Ranch, but can be grumpy with dogs when in a home environment, so may be best as an only dog. She is housetrained, and has been exposed to cats, and mostly sniffs at them curiously.

Looking for a blue-ticked, floppy-eared best friend? Meet Rae - once you meet her, she'll turn into your ray of sunshine, that's how sweet she is! She came to us with her buddy Charlie, who has since been adopted, so now Rae would like a home of her own. Rae lost both of her eyes to a degenerative disease, but she is getting by just fine and has a cheerful spirit. She rides well in the car, loves to snuggle, and while she gets overwhelmed by overly active dogs, she does ok with calm and laid back dogs (though she would love to not have to share the attention).

Reed and twenty of his best friends recently came to Lost Dog Rescue after a lifetime of living together with over one hundred dogs in cramped quarters. Because there were so many, the dogs didn't get outside much and didn't get much individual attention. All of them are a little shy and in need of some TLC to help them adjust to a new life. They will do best in quieter homes without young children or large dogs. They have lived with cats and are used to being around small dogs. These little ones truly deserve a second chance and are eagerly awaiting the special folks who will shower them with love.

Soraya is a loving dog, who just wants to curl up with her human to snooze, and then go for some nice walks, and don't worry - she walks quite nicely on the leash! Soroya does most things nicely and will make a fabulous and low-key companion as the only dog in the household. She is perfectly housebroken and crate trained. She does not chew on things or jump up on the furniture. She knows "sit" and "go to your bed". Her two favorite things are going for walks and sleeping in her bed. Her absolute favorite treat in the world is pupperoni, seconded by a dingo or pedigree bone. She has no interest in toys or games, but adores being pet.

Sugar has a double-dose of cute! It takes her some time to adjust to a new place or situation. When she's uncertain, she's quite defensive. After she settles in, Sugar shows that she's a sweetie and devoted companion. Sugar bonds very strongly and quickly to one person and becomes protective of her favorite. Because of that, we don't recommend her with children. She also wants to be the top dog, so she probably should be the only dog in her new home. Our smart and inquisitive girl likes to be involved in her person's everyday life. Are you tired of a Sugar free life? Maybe it's time to meet this little cup of Sugar.

What a unique looking pup our Susie is! This beautiful girl came into the shelter with her sister Sarah, and they were both clearly someone's pet. Susie is very curious and constantly sniffing and observing, but she is hesitant in unknown situations. You won’t find her cowering in the corner, though – she’ll be watching and moving forward. Susie gets along well with other dogs, acquiescing without being overly submissive. Susie is easy going about other pets, so could be accepting of small mammals, birds and cats. Both the girls are housetrained and walk well on a leash. Susie has a healthy interest in food as a reward, so is very trainable, as well. Susie is overall a very good natured and easy-going gal. Given her laidback nature, she would be a great second dog! For more information, contact her foster at Maria@Douglass.com.

Tori may have been the smallest of her litter, but she's made up for it by having a large personality. While she can walk on a leash, she prefers to lay in the shade, roll in the grass, and chew sticks. She enjoys playing with both large and small dogs. She sleeps for at least 8 hours without needing a potty break and can stay for up to 5 hours on her own during the day. She is moving through a chewing stage so chew toys are a must.

Trent is ready to get the party started, and hopes that you're ready to join right in! This boy still has his puppy energy, so he would be great for an active family or someone with kids. He does have limited vision in his right eye and it looks a half-closed all the time, but that definitely does not stop him from any romping around. He loves to be around other dogs and is ready to explore the world, and he hopes you'll be the one that will take him on his journey.

Trouble and Truetie are tiny little short-legged JRT mixes who were used for breeding until they were taken to a rural shelter. Trouble is the more curious one – always the first one to stick out her nose and try something. But she is also very easily startled, so she runs back to the safe spot next to Truetie. Trouble has the potential to live up to her name once she gains confidence. These little sweeties are shy and scared of what might come next, but they know it’ll be fine as long as they’re together. Their new home really only needs one bed and one set of bowls, because these girls share everything – even treats! They are looking for a quiet home and calm routines, with people who can help them adjust to a different kind of life.
For more information, contact the foster at jenniferbrown7@yahoo.com.

Truetie and Trouble are tiny little short-legged JRT mixes who were used for breeding until they were taken to a rural shelter.

Tyler is a true beagle--super sweet, loves dogs, kids, and cats, and very
snuggly. He is a simple boy who craves love, food, a daily walk with good
smells, and stuffed animals (in that order!). He will sit for a smile and curl up
next to you all night, and he can even follow basic commands unless, being the
beagle that he is, he smells something too interesting to resist! Tyler would
thrive in a home with doggie companionship, a fenced-in yard, and a family
who understands beagles (and of course, loves to snuggle)!

for becoming the Pal for Paws Sponsor of Wander.
Breed:Beagle mix Sex:Male Age:Approx. 1 year(s) Color: Tricolor Size: Approx. 28 lbs Status: Available with foster Good With Kids: Yes Good With Cats: No Good With Dogs: Some
Wander and his brother Truck came in together from a rural area. Wander is blind, so he needs a little help protecting himself from new things in his environment that could damage his eyes further, such as branches and corners of tables. Other dogs invading his personal space make him nervous, so he would not match well with high energy playful dogs. Wander loves belly rubs and can fetch a ball or stick if it's thrown nearby. If you are interested in adopting Wander, it would be helpful to come visit him at his foster's home. He is very frightened of sudden noises or movements. This is especially true outdoors. He is also frightened of noisy crowds and so does not do well at a bustling adoption event. He's met and interacted with adults and children in the neighborhood on a one-to one basis. Wander is crate trained and loves hanging out with his brother Truck. Truck and Wander do not need to be adopted as a pair. Either would make a great new family member. For more information, contact the foster at rachelreed@cox.net.

Winston is a sweet little guy who came from a bad hoarding situation. He’s a proven to be a delight in his foster home. Are you looking for a quiet companion to follow you around and lay at your feet? Then Winston is the guy for you. He likes to go for walks and snuffle around the yard. He’s house trained and crate trained. He’s proven to be trustworthy when left un-crated for up to 4hours at a time. Other dogs are fine as long as they are not too big or rambunctious. Winston will look to you for direction and learn quickly if you show him what you want. You see, Winston is deaf so he watches to learn. He knows signals for sit and we are working on lay and shake. He responds well to treats. Winston just wants his own person to love. Can you be his person? For more information, contact her foster at jsiniard@netzero.net.

Yvonne came to Lost Dog pregnant and gave birth to 9 wonderful puppies, who have since found homes. Yvonne was a wonderful mother, but she is now ready to settle down into her role as adoring companion. She is shy on first meeting, so she will need a patient owner to coax her into feeling secure. She would also benefit from having another dog in the household to keep her company.

November is the month we set aside in the U.S. to give thanks for our blessings. Most people count their cats among their blessings, and in many cases, senior cats. While there is something very special about raising and caring for a young cat through its senior years, it takes a really special person to intentionally seek out and adopt a senior cat and give him or her a loving, caring home for the remainder of its life. These cats sometimes come with medical conditions requiring regular extra care and expensive medications. They are often not as playful or cute as younger cats and kittens. However, they simply can't be matched for devotion, unconditional love, and warm companionship.
Senior cats are perfect companions for older people who find it difficult to keep up with the antics of kittens. Older cats as housemates help fill in the void of loneliness and provide measurable benefits in lowering blood pressure and stress relief.
For many years, the ASPCA and Petfinder.com have worked together to sponsor November is the Adopt a Senior Pet Month.
It's not too early to open up your home and heart to a senior cat, though. If you are looking for the kinds of benefits only a senior cat can offer, take a minute to review some of the bios for older cats on our Lost Dog and Cat Rescue website.
