    DDB Dogs Up For Adoption


    WYATT AND REGGIEWYATT & REGGIE- Greens Fork, Indiana: Here are two pictures of two of my foster dogs, Wyatt and Reggie. Wyatt is the big brown guy and Reggie is the brindle terrier mix. I have two beagles as well, but I don't have the best pictures of them yet.

    Thanks,
    Monica Kinley-Wilson

    BOYBoy - Yona, Guam: Boy was reported by a caring individual as he was on a huge chain and never seemed to receive any attention. Boy was super friendly from the very first time we met. His owners agreed to put a smaller chain on him as I could not even move the chain he was on by myself. Building a fence or runner was out of the question. Over the next couple weeks Boy seemed to lose quite a bit of weight and I was told the owners were unable to buy food. He would also have scratches or bite marks on his face and ears and they explained that the neighbor dogs would come over and fight with him. Still they wouldn't give him up.

    Months later they finally came around to the idea and agreed to let him go. Boy went to his foster home on September 21. He is about 3 years old, boxer mix, and heartworm positive. He is a really sweet dog, loves to cuddle, and has found out how amazingly relaxing belly rubs are. He is quickly learning how to play with other dogs. He's a really good boy and a fast learner.

    GRIFFINGriffin - Hudson Valley, New York: Griffin is a 3 year old pit bull mix. He loves all dogs..all shapes and sizes. He likes cats as well.

    Griffin spent all of his life chained and beaten daily. Even by the household children..he escaped this hell an was seized up by animal control after an angry lynch mob..no exaggeration hunted him down and tried to kill him..Griffin fought back and one and thank the lord the judge saw this not as aggression but as normal dog behavior to protect himself.

    Griffin is one of the sweetest most loyal dogs I know. He loves to be loved and give love..and he really would love someone who hikes..BUT does need to go to a home without small children. He needs to be in a home where the child is old enough to know to move slowly around him as he is a bit fearful still.

    I begged the judge to release him to me and rip up the kill order..HE DID!! He gave me 24 hours to pick him up as I live 6 hours away..but I had someone there in two!!

    He is neutered and up to date on all shots and current on flea, tick and heart worm preventative.

    DARLADarla - Hudson Valley, New York: Here is Darla. She is a beautiful Husky pit mix. She is about 4 years old had been chained all of her life. She was chained down the hill from the family home so she could not even see the house. She barely had any shelter and only the ground to sleep on. When she saw me she just about wiggled her tail right off. Well she spins it..it is the cutest thing.

    Darla knows basic command and walks very nicely on a leash.

    She is a very friendly happy girl. She loves everyone she meets, including all dogs and cats. If you rub her belly you will have a best friend for the rest of your life. I just can not say enough nice things about this girl. A week after she was unchained we took her to a dog walk and she was just incredible!!

    Darla is spayed, up to date on vaccines and is on flea, tick and heart worm preventative.

    MASONMASON - Columbia, Missouri: This is Mason! Mason was tied to a tree and abandoned by his owner while 2 other dogs were locked in the house!

    All three dogs were surrendered to Dogs Deserve Better and it has been a long road for Mason, it took this boy a very long time to become healthy, of good weight and heartworm free. Mason is now enjoying his happy, healthy life in his foster home with small and large dogs.

    Mason would make an incredible companion and nothing would make him happier than to be able to go for rides in the car and possibly go to work or travel with his new family. Mason just wants to be by your side, is very well behaved, house trained, and is a bed hog ;-)
