Maka is a sweet, 9-year-old, neutered male American Stafford. His Mom passed away this morning after a valiant fight with cancer. He needs to be in a new home ASAP to avoid the shelter. He is energetic and has lived with many other dogs successfully. We don’t know about cats or kids. He is a love and likes everyone.
Please contact DogDaz by commenting below and I can tell you who to call. Any rescue, foster, or permanent situation would be greatly appreciated. He is currently located in West Virginia but can be transported.
Thank you for your consideration – Your friends at DogDaz Zoo
There is a lot of jealousy going on in the past year and a half since we rescued Charles. I definitely think it is a little dog thing. He came to us with resource guarding issues and it seems that it is contagious. Now, whenever I am sitting with Louise or Sofie (who were never jealous of my affection for the other), Charles appears and creates a conundrum. He is very demanding of attention. Mild-mannered Louise has had her full of the pipsqueak and has started to get demanding herself. Oh, my! Now no one gets attention. What’s a zookeeper to do?
When you have a fence, and you have 3 dogs, unavoidably, they will always want to know who or what is on the other side. In this case, at the side fence, it is a new black Labrador puppy named Sadie. Gracie, also a black lab, who used to live over there, passed away a few months ago from old age stuff. Now we have a new smell. Always something to bark at. We don’t really want to meet her. We just want to sniff and bark through the fence.
It’s a Wordless Wednesday, so I should let the picture stand on its own, but I thought it was a great representation of each of the dog’s personalities.
Louise is very serious almost all the time but she rarely smiles on a leash, as you can see here. She loves her walks but being outside is worrisome to her and you can see that in her face. Most of Lulu’s smiles are inside the house or running in an open private space. She is my inside happy dog where she feels safe.
Sofie, my inside neurotic, loves to be with me outside and especially likes posing. Her smile is infectious. You would never know that this is the same dog that barks endlessly inside the house and eats through doors. She is my outside happy dog as long as I am with her.
Charles, well, he is just Charles. Serious on the walks because he has a mission and has to keep up with the big dog pace but usually smiling as he trots along. He’s just happy to be included in the event. Charles will not sit down on command which makes it really hard to get good pictures of the group. Inside or Outside Charles is generally a happy guy. He’s my everywhere dog.
