Second chances for those who need them most

Winston is the latest Shamrock dog to find his forever home. Read his story, along with those of other dogs who have found their loving families, on Page 4

Name: Charlie

Age: 6 years

Breed:

Pekingese

Sex: Neutered male

Charlie is the cutest little guy with a big grin, wagging tail and lots of kisses for his favorite people. Becoming one of Charlie’s favorites takes a little doing, because he is a bit of an insecure guy. We don’t know what his life was like before he became a Shamrock dog – sadly, that’s the case for most of the dogs we take in – but we don’t believe it was very good. He isn’t comfortable with strangers, but if he’s allowed to get to know you on his schedule, he will learn to trust you and give you all that love and happiness. Charlie has Cushing’s, which means his adrenal glands don’t work properly, and he is on daily medication. The medicine has really helped him gain confidence and be a much happier boy. We just love him. Maybe you will, too.

Name: Primm

Age: 2 years

Breed: Shiba Inubeagle mix

Sex: Spayed female

Primm is the sweetest girl. She loves being petted and giving kisses in return. She also loves to play and run. She has lots of energy and would make a great partner for a serious walker, jogger, runner or hiker. While she does well with dogs in social situations – on walks or at daycare – she wants to be the only pet in her home. See, she doesn’t like to share her living space with other animals. An adults-only home would be ideal for her. The best home for Primm also would have a secure, fenced yard. And, just in case you missed our first reference, she would really, really like to have an owner or owners who like being active as much as she does.

Name: Larry

Age: 4 years

Breed: Shepherd mix

Gender: Neutered male

Maybe it’s because he’s big (about 65 pounds). Maybe because he’s a sort of generic-looking shepherd mix. But no one has shown any interest in Larry since we got him. And that’s a real shame, because Larry is one of the sweetest, nicest dogs we’ve rescued. He loves people and other dogs and gets along with everyone. All he needs is a chance to prove what a wonderful boy he is. w
