Eric Von Weenie, despite his appearance, is a dachshund/cairn terrier cross rather than a purebred dachshund. This three year old attention hound has been with CPP since he was a puppy, and he needs a home that can understand his dependency on human interaction. Eric gets very attached to his family members and will cry if he knows they're nearby but out of sight. He is not used to be around small children, but he would be fine with teenagers and adults.

Dolly-Is a 2 to 2 1/2 year old Catahoula/hound mix, which is related to both Sonic and Phoebe.  She is a sweet, calm dog who loves to just follow her nose wherever the smells lead her.  Dolly will definitely need basic obedience training and a home that understands the typical hound personality. 

Stinger is a year old neutered male lab mix who thinks that every new person is a friend he simply hasn't met yet. This exuberant boy loves meeting new people and other dogs, and he'd be thrilled to have a family of his own to love on for the rest of his days. Stinger loves the children he meets in his foster mom's neighborhood and at PetsMart, but because of his size and activity level, he might be too much for smaller kids. He'd adore having a child or two to play with and run around a backyard with as long as they were big enough to rough house.  At about 60 pounds Stinger is still a big baby, and he probably won't fully mature mentally until he turns 2 or 3. Right now he needs loving, consistent training to help him polish up some proper house manners (he still likes to jump up and try to counter surf). He is doing well on housebreaking, although Stinger hasn't yet figured out how to ask to go outside. He does wonderfully in a crate and will sometimes nap in his while his foster mom is home. Stinger probably would do best in a home without cats because while he isn't aggressive towards them in his foster home, he is too focused and interested for his foster mom's liking. He also doesn't back off when swatted. Stinger also loves other dogs, but he can be a little pushy about demanding playtime. If he were paired with a dog with a similar activity level, they would probably have a blast and be tired most of the time though!

Sandee (below) is her sister.

Jake-is about 3 years old and 65 pounds. He has been successfully treated for heartworms. He is a yellow Lab mix, but we're not sure where he got his shorter nose and protruding forehead. He is 100% goofy - a very happy boy. Housebroken. Jake seems to have some genetic defects which cause him to favor one rear leg over the other (not hip dysphasia) and cause a canine tooth to point outward. These are characteristics that he lives with happily and will probably not cause any serious problems in the future. Okay with cats and likes other dogs. Probably good with kids - just may be a little playfully rough. Seems to have very fun dreams.

Lady Bug is a 5 year old American pit bull terrier who has lived with CPP for three years of her life. She may have started her life as a "hog dog" out in the country, but when Lady Bug saw a chance to flee, she took it. She's a typical pit bull in that she considers every human she meets a potential new friend, and Lady Bug is enthusiastic in showing her affections. Because of her strength she would do best with older children or an adult only home. Lady Bug was starving when she was found, so she still can be protective of her food towards other dogs. Also, she doesn't have much experience living with other animals, so she might do best as an only dog. We do not recommend that Lady Bug go to a home with cats.

Zoe is a 57 pound black lab mix and is a year old. She is updated on all shots.  She is fun loving and great with kids.  She tends to chase cats though.  She enjoys walking and needs someone who can take her for a walk or run.  She is extremely submissive.  She does well with other dogs.  She is house trained.  She can sit when asked.  She does enjoy jumping.  When seeing people she tends to have a lot of energy, but calms down quickly.  She is a wonderful dog, she needs a family that has time to love on her.

Sonic-is a male Catahoula hound mix, approx 2 years old and 65 pounds. He's very gentle, and can be a little shy at first in new surroundings. He's working on
becoming housebroken and crate-trained. He doesn't jump but will pull on a leash when a cat is around.
Sonic is friendly after he gets to know you. Seems to get along well with most other dogs, although he sometimes is protective of his food or toys. Loves to chew on ropes and balls, and loves the water. Preferably a house with out cats.
