DOGS NEEDING HOMES

Blue heeler puppy
Cyrus is a blue heeler that is about 8 months old, he is housebroken, up on all healthcare, male, neutered, and needs to find a new home. He likes Frisbee and ball playing, etc. He is a little too rambunctious in his current home with younger children however in a heeler experienced home he will be a great pet and ball/disc dog. He needs a home that is committed to training him. Please Contact Sue at szqboo77@hotmail.com

These three dogs need a new home.
Two German Shorthair Pointers: 3 1/2 yrs old; brother and sister, both good temperaments; the female (not spayed) shows good hunting instincts, but is gun-shy. The male (neutered) doesn't have a clue about hunting. Nice dogs, very active.

Border Collie: Sadie is a sweet, exuberant, 2 year old BC mix who loves to run and play with other dogs. She is very affectionate and likes to cuddle with her owners. Sadie 's current family has two small children, and while Sadie loves kids, her youthful excitement is a bit much. For this reason, her family reluctantly has come to the decision that she would be happier in a family whose activities are a better match for her. Sadie would make a wonderful pet for an active family looking for a second dog. She is a typical teenage BC type, clever enough to open latches and athletic enough to make any jogger a proud companion. Won't you please consider making Sadie a part of your family? Sadie is located in North West Michigan. You can contact her owners at ddmcgrew@yahoo.com .
Please help if you can.

That's it for now!
