All KnC dogs are/have been basic obedience trained in the Kids 'n' Canines program under the supervision of master trainer Elissa O'Sullivan. These are just some of the truly great dogs at CHA who have lots of personality and charm to share with their new families!
The CHA Lonely Hearts Club is for animals who have been at the shelter for a long time or who have special
needs. They may be shy, frightened, or unhappy in the shelter, so they may not run to introduce themselves to visitors. But they do want to go home with you. The volunteers know these animals are special. All they need is a special person to take them home.
Cleopatra
Breed: Bull Terrier Mix
Color: White / Tan
DOB: 02/2007
Sex: Female
Size: Large; > 50 lbs (posted; 12/2007)
You can’t help but fall in love with this mutt-nificent lady. She is
young, beautiful, full of life and waiting for you to come take her to her
new palace. Cleopatra was found in an abandon house by dog wardens – it
definitely wasn’t much of a home. A dog of unknown origin, we suspect
Bull Terrier or American Pit Bull Terrier to be in the mix. She is very active
and wants a home where she can run and play. Although you may not be able
to tell in the shelter, she is actually very shy in new environments. She
likes dogs of all sizes and has gotten along with cats in volunteer’s
homes. She loves to go to doggie daycare and loves the dog park once she
gets use to all the activity. Cleo has been though basic obedience and has
expressed an interest in trying agility. Her one dream in life is to have
her own chaise lounge to call her own!
Tank
Breed: Pit Bull / Terrier
Color: Tan
DOB: 06/2007

Just look at that cute face, how can you resist it? Tank is a smart, loving
little guy with a great personality. He enjoys taking walks and is very curious,
as he likes to play with bugs and sticks along the way. He has had some obedience
training and does very well with sit, down and come. He is working on heel,
stay and leave it. He enjoys sitting on your lap and cuddling, but is also
energetic and loves to play. He is looking for a loving family to take him
home so he can start his new life in his forever home. Tanks goal in life
is to find the most comfortable chair to sleep in.

Jose
Breed: Poodle Mix
Color: Buff
DOB: 01/2003
Sex: Male
Size: Small; < 20 lbs (posted; 05/2008)
Despite all he has been through, Jose’ has a wonderful disposition!
Jose’ is a poodle mix who was found in horrible shape, lost and wandering
in the woods. He was so matted he could barely move, we couldn’t even
tell if he was a boy or a girl. When he was shaved, his skin was so infected
from all the tick bites that he has been on antibiotics for weeks. He is
also suffering from a leg and knee injury. Jose’ is scheduled in June
2008 for two surgeries with 6 weeks of recovery. Even with a grant from RASCAL
CHARITIES, the shelter cost will be $800.00. CHA Animal Shelter has a special
program called the EMERGENCY MEDICAL FUND for animals who are in need of special medical treatment. It is through your donations that we are
able to have this program to help animals like Jose’. Please help by
donating today. Make checks payable to CHA Animal Shelter and note EMF in
memo.
If you are interested in fostering or adopting Jose’, please stop by
the shelter and fill out an application.
