At Sirius K9 Training, we like to see every dog have the best home. Quite often we come across dogs that are in need of a loving home. Below are a few of the dogs available now for adoption.

URGENT....PLEASE HELP US FIND A HOME!

EDDIE - MALE GERMAN SHEPHERD

"Eddie" is a large, handsome 2 year old "Special Needs" boy. He was born with a heart condition, which was not discovered until he was a year old. He is cryptorchid, but has not been neutered yet due to the risk of surgery. He needs an echocardiogram to determine what, if anything needs to be done for him at this point. The funding for the echocardiogram has been promised and will be paid directly to the veterinarian. One of the vets says his condition may be managed with meds, but which one would depend on which part of the heart was affected.

UPDATE: Echocardiogram performed on 6/16/08 at UC Davis.
Results:
Eddie's echocardiogram showed that his heart has 2 problems, one on the left, one on the right. On the left, is a mild-moderate sub-aortic stenosis, (SAS) a narrowing of an artery below the aorta, causing a thickening of the heart, because it has to work harder to pump through the narrow artery. The other is a mild-moderate faulty tri-cuspid valve on the right side of his heart. He doesn't need medication at this time, and may live quite some time.

Eddie is a very handsome dog, very black & red. He's probably no more than about 75 pounds, but muscular and plush, so he looks big.

Eddie is not good with other males, but has been great with all types of female dogs!  He loves to play!  Due to his heart condition, Eddie didn't get out a lot as a youngster. He needs more socialization and training in an adult home, and would not be for a first-time GSD owner.

Eddie is in an emergency, temporary boarding situation!

If you or someone you know are interested in meeting Eddie, please contact Liz Abel at: 951) 232-8987 or email: Littlebit4500@msn.com

BO - MALE GERMAN SHEPHERD

"Bo" is a large, neutered male, 3 yr old German Shepherd. He stands about 26" high at his shoulders and is about 40" long from head to rump.
This beautiful German Shepherd was saved once and now his owner has passed on and people are trying to find him another forever home. He is a wonderful boy. Do you know of anyone who might wish to adopt him???

Bo's records were located but we don't have them yet. We do have the paper license which states he is neutered and will be three yrs around August. He was rescued a couple yrs ago or so from the LA Animal Shelter....scheduled for euthanasia.

If you or someone you know are interesting in meeting Bo, please contact: Sharon R. Breese

SAD CASE OF ANIMAL ABUSE NEEDS YOUR HELP!

PIT BULL PUPPY SET ON FIRE IN LANCASTER, CA.

Abigail's story came to the attention of Karma Rescue on May 6, 2008 when a horrible story broke on the local news:

Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the scene around 11:30 p.m after receiving a call from a neighbor. The woman told a camera crew at the scene that she and her stepson heard horrible yelping sounds, went outside and saw that a dog had been set ablaze in the front yard of the vacant house next door.

While totally engulfed in flames, the dog started running in circles in the street. The woman then ripped off her jacket and threw it on the dog to put out the flames. The dog, which is about 1 year old, survived but suffered burns to the head, stomach, rear right leg and paw.  

Deputies took the injured dog to the Los Angeles County Animal Shelter in Lancaster. Karma Rescue is currently raising money for her medical bills which are going to be extremely high due to the severity of her burns and the level of care that they require. Karma is also taking her out of the shelter and placing her in a foster home where she can heal in a loving and warm environment.

Abigail stands not just as a dog, but an example of the amount of abuse this breed endures.  They can take the pain, and never bat an eye or turn mean...in fact, after a human set Abigail on fire she still had the need to give a kiss to the vet tech as she lifted her off the gurney, Abigail reached around, with burns all over her body, and gave her a kiss. 

Abigail is an incredibly sweet and trusting girl considering what she has been through. Please help us give her a second chance.
