Today we're turning it over to Cheyenne!

"I am just a baby approximately seven months old. I am a happy girl and willing to learn. I am very good with other dogs both male and female, and I love to play, I can keep up with the best of them.

I am a beautiful red sable and may be housebroken. I have done well when I was in the house. I need to be taught some obedience, but that will be easy if you just take some time and work with me as I am still just a baby. My rescue Momma says I have the prettiest German Shepherd stance. I will be a big girl too. I am tall and just need to put on some weight. I am sure with my long legs I could get over a short fence so please tall fence required. And who knows? I may even lead you to the best small business to start all about dogs!

I have now been spayed which is a very good thing, since I was just about to come into my first heat. I have been wormed, vaccinated, heartworm checked and on preventative."

We found Cheyenne through OK Adopt A Dog in Harrah, Oklahoma.

Sassy (Sassafras) is an indoor dog. She loves to play fetch with tennis balls, chase the water stream from a hose, and catch bubbles and help pick up brush in the yard. Sweet typical Kelpie disposition. Very smart and needs to be kept busy.

Sassy loves people and other animals. Her rescuers would not recommend her with children under 10 since she is very active and doesn't know her own strength yet. She would be ideal for a flyball enthusiast or someone interested in teaching her agility training. And the best part is you won't have to look into a free online dating site to find your new best friend!

This beautiful little girl was severely injured at the tender age of 4 weeks with upper and lower jaws broken. Near death, she had a strong will to live and after numerous surgeries has recovered remarkably. She snores a little due to a deviated septum as a result of the injuries, but other than that her recovery is nothing short of a miracle.

We found Sassafras through the Association for a Pet Adoption Center in Temple, Texas.

We're turning it over to Tundra today:

"I'm a white furred, blue eyed beauty. As sometimes happens with that combination, I'm deaf.

I'm a very friendly, engaging puppy who likes other dogs. I just need a family who will patiently teach me using hand signals. If you have another dog, great. I'd be happy to learn your house rules from him or her.

Thanks for reading about me, and I hope to see you soon."

We found Tundra through the Animal Humane New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Teddy is a 2 year old neutered male Chow Chow / Australian Shepherd mix. He is house trained and crate trained, and takes treats very gently.

Teddy is the kind of dog who can wait patiently while his owner is at work. He has a very sweet and acquiescent personality. It's like he is always trying to tell you something with his eyes.

Teddy needs a decent sized yard where he can run his herding patterns. He loves to carry toys in his mouth, or to chase them and then lie down beside them. Running to you and sitting down or lying down is very fun for him, too.

Teddy was frightened when he was first rescued. He now has many friends and does well in most situations. He has been to training class, the vet's office and has been groomed - he was relaxed most of the time. Teddy's best home is with adults who are home bodies.

We found Teddy through The Misha May Foundation in Lakewood, Colorado.

This little guy is just as sweet as can be. He is very timid as he came from a puppy mill situation. He is starting to come out of his shell and is running free in his rescuers home.

He sleeps in the family bed with the other dogs and humans. He loves having a yard to run and play with the other dogs in. He is still shy of people, but they are giving him lots of cuddle time and he is coming around.

Max is about six years old. His hair has been shaved as he was in very poor condition when he came to rescue. He has very curly hair and should be a good dog for people with allergies as he shouldn't shed much if at all.

She adapted to the sanctuary immediately and loves to jump into the car to go for a ride. She is about 5 years old and an excellent fit for a family, couple, or individual - especially a senior who would dote on her.

She gets along great with the other dogs, and ignores the cats. She looks like a standard daschund mix due to the long body and short legs. She weighs about 30-35 pounds and does not have any special medical or emotional needs due to the scars.

Baxter is a big, muscular, super special dog. He needs a special home.

Baxter has very strong protection instincts with his people which has led him to some problems in the past. This is not to say he is mean or viscous, just very protective.

Outside of his home he is the most friendly dog to everyone he comes across. He loves to go to the park or the petstore for some great attention. And he is an attention getter!

Everyone loves Baxter at first sight. He is big, meaty, and always wearing a smile on that handsome face of his. He has some funny, weird quirks like sitting on his head if you give him a good bum scratch and he runs backwards when excited, odd, but hilarious! You may want to look into some rechargeable batteries for this little Energizer Bunny!

He is fully housebroken and crate trained and knows his commands. Baxter's ideal home would be with a confident person or couple that has breed experience. He needs to be the only dog as he does not appreciate other dogs in his space.

Today we're turning it over to Taboo!

"Hello there! My name is Taboo. I am so adorable. I am approximately 2 years old which means I am young enough to need an active family - but I am mature and smart enough to pick up on training and manners quickly.

What more could you ask for? I originally came to a local Maine shelter as a stray, but my family never came looking for me. I have since been transferred to Charley's Strays in the hopes that I will find my forever family.

I tested positive for Lyme disease - but I have been treated. I know how to sit on command, and sometimes I know how to stay. I am a little bit jumpy, but I am willing and able to learn. With a bit of obedience training I will be the best friend you ever had. I get along with most dogs (I prefer the ladies - if you know what I mean) and I get along well with cats. I would need to meet any future housemates to make sure I like them."

We found Taboo through Charley's Strays in Clinton, Maine.

Kasi (pronounced like Casey) is a beautiful, sweet, 9-ish years young, 43 pound, Husky/Lab mix. She has a beautiful, light yellow, soft, silky coat, with a quirky, curly tail. Her most memorable characteristic, however, is her bright, happy, heartwarming smile that is usually a fixture to her facial expression!

Kasi came into foster care for the second time in September 2009 after being in her adoptive home for 4 years; they were moving and decided not to take her along. She was extremely overweight from undiagnosed hypothyroidism, so she wasn't very eager to do much of anything at first.

However, since being on her medication, Kasi has a new lease on life: she has lost 41 pounds and loves going on walks and exploring outside in the safety of a fenced yard; she is truly enjoying life to the fullest now!

We found Kasi through Furry Friends Network in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania.
