Domino is a 1 to 2 year old male Chihuahua mix who showed up in the Thorndale pound. Since he was the only small dog there at the time, we pulled him out as quickly as possible to avoid him getting accidentally hurt with the number of larger dogs.

Sugar is a 2 year old black lab mix who came into the Thorndale pound with her two puppies in tow. Unfortunately, the babies developed demodex, so she had to be separated from them, but they are big enough that she was ready for them to stop nursing anyway! Sugar likes other dogs as long as they aren't too pushy and in her face; she's had enough rough housing with two pups!　 She likes to play with tennis balls and just hang out with people.　 She would probably be fine with small children since she is very tolerant of handling and likes to be touched and played with, but we recommend supervision with any new dog. Sugar knows sit, so she has had some training in the past. At this point we do not know if she is housebroken since she has always been outside since we have known her.

Checkers is a 5 month old Chihuahua mix who ended up at the CPP when his elderly owner realized she just couldn't handle a young puppy. He is a very sweet, tiny guy who would like a quiet home where he can get plenty of attention. Despite being so fragile looking, Checkers is not at all afraid of larger dogs and would love the companionship of another pup in his new home.　 We do not know if Checkers has ever been around cats. Because of his young age and very small size, we suspect that Checkers is not fully housebroken.

Tori is a 3-4 year old 15-20 pound poodle mix who was turned over to CPP when her elderly owner was no longer able to care for her. She had lived in the woman's backyard with her companion, Glory, her entire life with very little interaction with anyone outside of the home.　Tori has lived with other dogs and probably would enjoy a canine companion, but she is very nervous at adoption events and acts snippy when new dogs approach her. She prefers to sit in someone's lap or in a corner to try to calm herself.　 Because of her nervousness, Tori would probably do best in an adult home or one with children old enough to give her space when she's feeling insecure. Because Tori has spent her life almost entirely outside, we do not know whether or not she is housebroken.

Fred is a 5 month old lab mix puppy who had repeatedly been in and out of the Thorndale pound since their birth since their mother's owners refused to take responsibility for any of their dogs. After two tickets from the sheriff, they just left the puppies in the pound the third time they were picked up. The boys are happy and love people despite their rough start and handled their first exposure to the big city with a bomb. They may be related to Betty and Wilma, but they came in a week later than the girls, so we're not sure. Our best guess is that they will be at least 50 or 60 pounds when fully grown, but it depends on what the rest of the mix is!  Fred and Barney both just want a family to call their own that will help train them to become the best dogs they can be.

Yodel is a three year old spayed female terrier mix who was rescued in a small Texas town when she was about three or four months old.　She came to CPP immediately, but because of her shy personality, we didn't push her for adoption.　Yodel is still a very shy dog, and she is wary of new situations, but she can also be very affectionate and adores the company of other dogs.  Because of her shyness, Yodel would do best in a calm, quiet home with a confident dog or two who can help her adjust to becoming a pet.　 Older children who would be gentle with Yodel would be fine. She is not currently housebroken, and we do not know how Yodel is with cats.

Opal is a 7 year old lab mix who has been with CPP since puppyhood. Her mother was a middle-aged black lab who was a "neighborhood dog" who had several litters over the years. Given her mom's lack of real medical care, it was no surprise when Opal was born missing half of her tail and a portion of a back leg. This people oriented dog doesn't let her missing leg slow her down though, and Opal is an avid swimmer and very athletic. Opal can be a little picky about which dogs she likes, which has resulted in her being returned a couple of times over the years. Generally, she prefers males, and she likes to be the top dog in the household.　 With people, she is fairly mellow, so she would probably do fine with children that were big enough not to get knocked over. Opal was housebroken, but she has lived in a kennel environment for several years and would need a refresher course.　We do not know how Opal is with cats.

Patches is a 6 year old spayed female terrier mix who was living with a family in a trailer park before she came to CPP. She was kept outside on a rope because her family didn't have a fenced yard, and　because she wasn't fixed, she had puppies.  Unfortunately, this friendly girl is also heartworm positive, and CPP has been treating her with the slow kill method recommended by our vet. Initially, Patches is very feisty with other dogs and wants to establish pecking order, but once she is comfortable, she gets along well with other dogs and ignores attempts to start fights over resources such as food. Because she has always been an outside dog, Patches probably is not housebroken, but she is so eager to please humans that she should learn quickly.  She is also very friendly with all of the people she has met and loves getting attention. We do not know how Patches is with cats.
