EDDIE, A GOLDEN BOY

Eddie, our very handsome Golden boy with a wonderful smile and magnificent feathered coat, is looking for a new, forever home. Eddie is 2 1/2 years old. He is a very friendly boy who enjoys playing ball, swimming and outside play activities. Eddie is on vacation at TOP DOG RESORT in Sioux Falls. The staff has taught Eddie good training habits like sit, come, down, stay and off. He is completely housetrained. Eddie will make a wonderful family pet with family members who have time to give him exercise and playtime. Eddie is energetic when he plays so we are suggesting that any children in the family are 8 years and older. Pet Pals For Life had Eddie neutered and his shots updated including bordatella. His heartworm test was negative and he has been started on heart guard and frontline. If you would like to adopt this splendid Golden, submit an application which is accessed from our home page at www.petpalsforlife.org

Eddie lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

JACK THE HOUND DOG

This cool looking 1 1/2 year old Hound mix is Jack. He was adopted from the shelter as a very young pup. His present owner has had him ever since.

If the front door is open, and he sees children, Jack will bolt out the front so he can go play!! Jack loves walks and playing fetch. He gets along with other dogs and really enjoys the water. Jack is just one of those super friendly boy dogs that does well with a family that has time to spend with him. Jack is neutered, housetrained and his shots are current. He's a magnificent family dog. Apply for Jack online at www.petpalsforlife.org

MARLEY SUE

Marley Sue, our little Italian Greyhound, turned 1 year old on January 29th, 2008. She is the epitome of "human's best friend". Marley nuzzles her way into your heart and gives so much love. Since she is used to being the center of attention, she may 'puppy pout' if not given her due. Marley loves to play fetch and tug of war. Balls are her favorite toy! She is extremely energetic and requires an owner who is also energetic. Marley does like to cuddle, especially under the covers to stay warm. When she was younger, Marley had a lot of social anxiety around strangers and other dogs. As she matures that is improving. Marley will be the greatest dog for someone once she gets past the difficult puppy years. Marley has been spayed, and is current on her shots. She is still learning her housetraining skills. Therefore she would do best in a structured environment, including a feeding schedule, regular exercise, and being kenneled when someone in the family is not able to watch her. Marley has never had any experiences around kids and does get really nervous around them. Since she does feel most threatened by children at this point, it would be best if Marley is adopted into an adult only home. Apply for Marley Sue online at www.petpalsforlife.org

PYPER AKA PEACHES

It is amazing what vetting after years of neglect and over breeding, in addition to love and tender care, can do for a little dog. We introduced you to Peaches after we rescued her from a shelter where she had been taken after being abandoned in a rural county in South Dakota. This tiny little dog needed major surgeries to repair the damage from years of breeding puppies for profit. She came through all the surgeries and was then placed into foster care with Kari and her family. Since then, Peaches has learned what it is like to be a pet, to be spoiled, to be part of a loving family, how to walk up and down stairs, how to eat from a bowl, all the things family pets should experience.

Peaches' foster family has renamed her Pyper, and we are now looking for a new, forever home for this little dog with the sweetest face and disposition. If you would like to adopt this wonderful little girl, complete the adoption application which is accessed on the left side of this homepage. Our original story of Pyper aka Peaches is at the bottom of this page.

"I am Pyper. I am looking for a family that will love and care for me. I am a very 'proud little girl' and will make a wonderful family pet."

If you would like to adopt Pyper, apply online from our homepage at www.petpalsforlife.org

BLACKIE - A NEWFIE BOY

This totally cool Newfie/Retriever mix is Blackie. He is a �senior boy� at the young age of 10. Sadly, Blackie was taken to the shelter the day after Christmas when his family moved from a rural area to town. It is so difficult for a senior dog to get adopted in a shelter. So Pet Pals For Life took Blackie into their rescue. Cindy has been fostering Blackie and has fallen in love with him because he is such a gentle dog that only wants to follow her around and wait for loves and pets. But Cindy has four large dogs of her own and Blackie does withdraw when they are all around. He just waits for his time alone with Cindy. Blackie is an easy dog with a wonderful curly coat and a beautiful head. Until he came to Cindy�s home for foster, Blackie has always lived outside. Now he is accustomed to being a house pet but still enjoys romps in the backyard. This �young senior dog� acts like a puppy with his tail held high when he shows off for his foster mom. Cindy has considered keeping Blackie. But she has come to the decision that what Blackie really needs his own home where he doesn�t have to share attention with so many other house dogs. If you would like to adopt Blackie, complete the adoption application accessed at www.petpalsforlife.org

Adoption Donation: $45.00

Blackie lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

MERLE THE SHELTIE

Meet Merle, a one year old blue merle Sheltie. Merle was purchased as a second Sheltie by his family. They have another Sheltie who is very mellow and have decided Merle is too energetic for them to train. He has been an outside dog up to this time so his housetraining skills are not known. He does get along well with other dogs and children. He is also fine with cats. Pet Pals For Life would like to see Merle become a house pet in a family that has time to work with him. He will be neutered and his shots updated prior to adoption.

We introduce you to PEPPER, a neutered male who is approximately 3 years old. The staff at Heartland Humane Society believe he is a Blue Heeler mix. Pepper needs someone to show him a great deal of love and affection. He will require a home with owners who are willing to spend time with him and work on gaining his trust with humans. He is very sweet and friendly when he is comfortable with you. Although Pepper does have an alpha personality, he gets along well with other dogs. He seems curious about cats and is fine around children. Now that Pepper has realized the attention he is getting is very good and that he is not going to be hurt, he can't seem to get enough of it. He has a beautiful coat, gorgeous gold eyes, and his vet care is all up to date. Pepper is very special and deserves much love and patience. He has made great progress in his trust of people and his fears. He has become very lovable (even crawled into bed with his foster parents!). You have to meet Pepper to really appreciate him. He will steal your heart. Please contact Heartland Humane Society at 605-664-4244 , email hhs@iw.net if you would like more information about Pepper.
