Wrinkles
     
  

   Pit Bull mix - Wrinkles is one of the 27 pit bulls that were chained to car axles buried in the ground, and other dogs, in the Loess Hills. When Wrinkles was found, she had demedex mange really bad (that is why her skin looks like it does), intestinal parasites, and was severely malnourished. She is cured of the intestinal parasites, eating very healthy, and is undergoing treatment for the demedex and doing quite well. Despite what she has been through, she is the happiest and sweetest little girl ever. She does well with children and she likes to play. She also loves attention and really enjoys a scratch behind the ears from everyone around. She is in a foster home that is doing great work and teacher her how to be a well mannered young lady. Her skin condition is also clearing up very well. The bottom set of pictures are updated ones. Please visit our Loess Hills page to see what she went through and you will see what an amazing dog she really is.
12-18-10 -  UPDATE: Wrinkles is finally potty-trained, her skin has cleared up completely, and she is loving life in her foster home with 3 other dogs and a large red parrot. She no longer has any issues with food or toy guarding and she has really turned into one amazing little dog. New pictures are soon to come.
             

Bam

     
 

Pit Bull - Bam (Formerly Bruno) is one of the Loess Hills Pit bulls that you can read about on our website. When we picked him up from the Loess Hills shelter, he was in such bad shape and so ignored/neglected that we thought he might die that night. He was literally brought him back from death's door and he is finally healthy and doing well. He is very timid and you can tell that he has never had much reason to trust people. He has been in a foster home since he was rescued and doesn't tear up the house and is probably 85 - 90% house-trained (he doesn't like to go out in bad weather). He is a very good dog and there is no way you can't love him. He was in his foster home with 3 other dogs and a cat. He would do much better in a home where he is the only dog and can be the center of attention. He should also be supervised when around large male dogs, smaller ones he seems to have no issues with. He will not start anything, but if pressed, he will definitely finish it. Bam is also not a big fan of men. He warms up much quicker to women and children. I think that if he went to a home with an middle-age, or older, woman that this would give him his best chance to thrive and make some rehabilitation possible. He has been in a foster home with a 35 year old, single male, and he just never warmed up or got to a point where he wasn't scared of him. There is definitely potential in Bam, I truly hope that one of you will give him another chance to find a life that is not full of pain, and torture, or fear. Bam is the true definition of innocence and I know he is worth you taking a chance on.

Jack

   

Jack Russel Terrier - Jack is an owner surrender by some people who were gonna put him down just because he has allergies.

Buddy

     
 

Black Lab mix -  This is Buddy-he's a neutered male approximately 6-8 years old.  He is very well behaved as far as kenneling and he has zero potty issues.  He is truly one of the gentle giants-he doesn't jump up on people, very good with adults as well as children-male or female.  He really needs somewhere he can run and get plenty of exercise but any home with alot of love to give would be great for him. 
Now that he gets attention and play time he is thriving.
