Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound lists available dogs and puppies as of June 18

The Highland County Dog Pound has the following dogs available for adoption or rescue pulls as of June 18, listed courtesy of the Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound.

(1) Petra: Petra is a little female Yorkie/Chihuahua Mix who is 3 years old. Petra is spayed already. She was an owner surrender who lived with 3 children who were very young. She has lived with another dog (Bluey). Petra is VERY scared. She will growl at you through her kennel. Once you get her out and sit with her, she becomes literally your best friend and throws a fit if you have to leave. She is very much a flight risk though as I let her run around in our office and she went back to being scared of me. I was finally able to pick her up yesterday as she clung to me when another worker entered the room. Petra did have fleas, which she is being treated for.

(2) George: George is a black and tan Cconhound who is around 3 years old. He currently weighs 50 lbs, but he is very skinny. George does have some skin issues, as you can probably see in the pictures. He is a very sweet dog who had most likely been used for hunting at one point in his life. George is very stressed out and not doing well here in the shelter.

(3) Lexi: Lexi is a Shepherd/Doberman mix who is 7 years old. She weighs around 50 lbs. She has been around cats and kids and other dogs. She was an owner surrender due to her owner having to move.

(4) Casper: Casper is a suspected shepherd mix who came in as a stray. Casper had been staying in the same spot on the side of a busy roadway for two days due to not wanting to leave his friend who didn’t make it. Casper was so happy to see us. He is pretty skinny for his size, weighing only 43 lbs. He is very young, between 1-2.    

(5) Gretel: Gretel came to us as a stray. She weighs 60 lbs. She is currently in a temporary foster home until she can leave our care. She is great with dogs and seems fine with the cats. Gretel also doesn’t mind horses so may be good on a farm or around livestock. She is potty trained. If you have any questions or would like more pictures/videos of her let us know.

(6) Leah:  Leah is a female beagle mix who is 2-3 years old and weighs 41 lbs. While 41 lbs may seem like a lot, Leah is very petite. She is very sweet and does fine with other dogs. 

 (7) Bones: Bones came to us after his owner passed away. A woman who cared for the owner said that Bones was a stray that had showed up. He got his name because he was exactly that, skin and BONES. Bones is a young, loving mixed breed.

She came to us as an owner surrender.  She lived with younger kids and was perfectly fine. She is also good around other dogs, as she came with a small dog. She is very terrified at the moment with her family leaving her. She is, however, very sweet and loving when you spend one-on-one time with her. 

(26) Weezy:  Weezy is a female mixed breed who came to us as a stray. Weezy is around a year old and weighs 35 lbs. Weezy is very friendly and seems to be OK with other dogs. Weezy got her name because she was born with a smaller trachea than normal, so it makes her wheeze all the time. The vet said it doesn't seem to hurt her or anything as of right now. She is very energetic and loves to play.
