SEBASTIAN

SPONSOR ME

New energy and fitness resource announced

ARPH Press (Maine): State officials announced today the discovery of a revolutionary new product that not only addresses inflationary heating costs, but miraculously provides dramatic fitness and weight loss potential. Spokesmen revealed that “Sebastian” has been under secret development for about two years. Highly portable at about 50 lbs., he provides a renewable power source guaranteed to spontaneously warm the heart.

At his lowest setting, his thick, fluffy white/blue merle coat and fuzzy bob tail enable him to cuddle and warm any chair or couch occupant. Scientific staff “believe this capability is largely enabled by the repetitive stroking of his coat. Generated friction seems to encourage this resting state.” For this reason, developers strongly suspect Sebastian has great potential as a Therapy Dog.

In his highest gear, Sebastian plays with busy, puppy-like energy, thus offering great weight loss and fitness opportunities for the human operator in addition to further warming benefits. Favored settings include “wrestle”, “chase”, “tug” and “trot”. These settings are best applied within the confines of a sizeable and secure fenced yard since the audio detection feature of this model is not enabled. Sebastian is fully deaf and his cute floppy ears are purely ornamental. Vision is quite functional for day to day needs, but modestly compromised. Ball and Frisbee detection radar is operable over a wide range. Outside of secured areas, leashed walks are a must to prevent envious on-lookers from stealing him away as well as manage the innate “seek and inspect” modes that can not detect on-coming traffic or other potentially damaging situations.

Sebastian is readily programmable through a series of hand signals. Factory settings currently include, but are not limited to: sit, lay down, wait, come, toilet, and leave it. Programmers continue to rapidly expand the capabilities of this prototype through formal training.

Sebastian gets along well with other male and female canine models in his series, but it should be known that his play style may be considered rough by some. Cats trigger a chase instinct that may be modifiable under careful dog-savvy feline experimental conditions. Adult human males and females are greeted with appropriate affection, but small progeny would be overwhelmed by his wide turns and enhanced bounce momentum.

To meet him is to love him. Please call or visit your nearest Sebastian showroom now for an exclusive demonstration of this unique, handsome and very smart boy’s capabilities. Sebastian is housebroken, crate trained, neutered and current on vaccines.
For more details on Sebastian please contact Catherine . More information on living with a deaf dog may be found at http://www.deafdogs.org/ or our deaf dog info page.

Sebastian thanks his sponsor Julianne Daley


WINNIE

SPONSOR ME

Winnie-the-Blue ARPH # 11370 (Vermont) Winnie is extraordinary! She is a confident, strong, playful, sweet, sensitive, smart and very adaptable. Winnie has been through a great deal in the past year and is looking for a forever home that is willing to love her as much as her foster home does, and she looking for a home that can offer her what her current foster home cannot – a home where she is an only dog, and therefore has the freedom to roam about, and has people that can focus primarily on her to allow her to express her joy in being alive!

Winnie is a large, spayed blue merle female. She thrives on positive attention – she loves just about everything – taking walks, going for runs, swimming in the river, playing with toys, being groomed, laying at your side and she especially loves cuddling…she is a master snuggler and she is filled with joy and love! Winnie is currently living with another Aussie and a cat, but she will do best as the only dog in the home; dog savvy cats are fine by Winnie.

Winnie is blind… but mostly and firstly Winnie is an Aussie. Because of this, although her challenges are many, they are in fact few. The things that will challenge her forever home are her barking, her strength on walks and her need for a slow introduction to new people. Winnie's sense of sound is strong and she can bark more than is reasonable – so she needs a calm quiet environment and an owner that is both patient and clear when enough is enough! Like most Aussies Winnie can be protective and can be reactive to changes in her environment so she needs an owner that is in charge and will be clear with her about the rules. Winnie needs a home that can give her consistent moderate exercise.

Winnie has a tremendous amount of life energy and love. She is a blessing beyond belief and she needs a forever home that will dedicate time to her…and love her…and that forever home will be lucky to share her joy in life!

If you think you are able to share your home with this beautiful Aussie, and you have an approved application with ARPH (including a home visit) please contact

SADIE

SPONSOR ME

Sadie originally came from GA where she was abandoned by a family who moved on without her. Sadie’s age is estimated at somewhere between 4 and 7 years. Due to her matted fur Sadie was shaved down so her coat is now gradually growing in. She was not very outgoing at first, but gradually over one week got used to her foster mom’s pack of Aussies and rat terriers. She is now active and happy, but still very quiet and calm. She has had the run of her foster mom’s house after the first week and has had no accidents. She is leash trained although she is a little stubborn. She likes to think about things while outside off leash, but responds quite happily when she realizes you really want her to come. She seems to enjoy her own space, but will share willingly. When she first meets another dog, she will give her little growl and act like the queen. She has never exhibited any real forceful behavior; she just likes everyone to know who is the boss. Upon meeting new people she is very friendly. Her foster home has not had her around small children or cats so we do not know how she would react around them. She was given a dog bed to lounge and sleep on, but Sadie prefers the floor of her foster mom’s closet...on top of her shoes! Sadie is spayed and fully vetted and ready for her forever home.

If you are interested in Sadie and you have an approved application please contact
Michelle.

CHLOE

SPONSOR ME

Chloe is a delightful,spayed, 7 year old Aussie that is remarkably smart and well trained. She knows many tricks and is eager to show them off for a cookie! She is a medium sized dog with a short, easy to care for coat who tolerates nail clipping and grooming well. She is fully vetted.

Chloe's favorite sport is swimming! She likes that more than anything. She is also trained in agility. She plays frisbee and ball like a champion, bringing them back every time for you to throw again...and again...and again.

Chloe was well loved in her former home but she was not happy sharing her family when the new baby arrived. They thought it best for everyone, including Chloe, if she had a new home where she would be the star attraction. She has settled well into her foster home, is clean and respectful, loving and eager to please.

Chloe is guarded with new dogs that she meets, her personal space must be respected, but once she knows the dog she is more than happy to accept the company.

Chloe is content with moderate exercise. She plays hard but will also nap while you work on the computer or watch TV. She walks well on a leash and is crate trained. She plays with her toys and loves to chew bones. She has a fair amount of prey drive and will keep your yard squirrel and bird free. She has not been tested with cats but with her high prey drive, either an an aussie savvy cat or a cat free home would be best.

Chloe will do well placed with children over the age of 8. She will be happy to be an only dog. A dog savvy owner will make her feel more secure with meeting new friends.

If you would like to know more about Chloe, contact
Paula. Oh, and did I say she loves swimming?
