Letter to Santa...

I just finished my Christmas wish list this afternoon! I am very excited to spend the holidays with my foster family, but I’d love to find a Furever home soon too!

Epilepsy ... but I'm tackling it!

Since my last update, we have discovered that I have Epilepsy. Apparently, it’s more common than you think in dogs. The best guess at this point is that I was just born with it; a genetic condition. So I’m not overly concerned about it. It is what it is, and I still have so much more life to live!!

I am currently on a drug called Phenobarbital. It has prevented me from having seizures too often. Once I get the correct dosage figured out, I may not have them too often at all! The medicine is making me a bit dozy and clumsy and hungry, but that’s because we’re still figuring out the right amount I should take. In time, those minor side effects should go away. And really, I don’t mind having an extra nap a day!

My foster mom says while my medical condition is a bit unfortunate it really shouldn’t slow me down much or change my path in life! I just need the right home that has patience, love and understanding (and maybe a few extra dollars to help pay for my medicine and blood tests, which really aren’t too expensive). I promise to repay you with company on walks and hugs, kisses and snuggles every single day!

If you want to know more about Epilepsy in dogs just Google it. There is lots of information that I found on the web!

Dec 3, 2011 Adoptathon!

I spent the day at an adoptathon, meeting all kinds of people and dogs. I had a good time, and was, of course, an excellent boy. I don't get too excited about things, I'm pretty relaxed ... even in that overwhelming environment.

(I wish these humans knew how to use photoshop - my eyes don't actually glow!)

Hanging with my friends

I am very polite and well mannered, y'know. For example, in my foster home, we are allowed to lay on the couch. I know that is a special treat, so I keep my eyes open for when my foster mom wants to let her human friends sit on the couch! Oh, those humans...

Just get in touch with Misty Creek Dog Rescue to set up a time for us to get together. I'd love to meet you! 

Some more about me ...

I am a smart and gentle boy. I like to be around people and please them - people are the best! I might come across  a bit shy at first, but I warm up quickly.  I am also good with other dogs but like I said, people are my favorite.

The resident dog at my foster home seems to like me and I really do love her company. So I would be happy in a home with or without another dog. That's me ... easy-going! 

I would love a home where I can get lots of exercise and can run around in the yard. And, not to toot my own horn, but I am really a pretty good walker!  Since I am big and strong, my foster mom is keeping me on a tight leash, literally... So I am fine-tuning my already great walking skills so that you don’t have to deal with tugging.

Meet Sherman!

Hi there! My name is Sherman. I'm a 2 year old border collie/lab cross... and as you can see, I'm incredibly cute! I'm a real sweetheart, and have made myself right at home with my new foster family.

Don't let those high energy breeds worry you - even though I love to run and play, I'm so laid back. I am quite content to just hang around, snoozing. I know that the house is for relaxing, so I am definitely calm indoors - my foster mom tells me I'm very mature for my age! I'll take that as a compliment!

I'm just looking for my furever home!
