Meet Betsy/Abby from Eleventh Hour Rescue.  She is a 3-year-old coonhound who is house trained and crate trained.  She loves the outdoors, car rides, and meeting new people.  After a tiring romp outdoors, she prefers to curl up on the bed or couch and enjoy a good belly rub.  She was recently given up by her family as their life situation changed and Abbie (originally called Betsy) was not part of their new plans.  She’s a good girl who deserves a chance for a new start in life.  Currently in a foster home, she’s ready to come to your home now.  To read more about her, to see all of our adoptable dogs, to see our upcoming events, or to make a donation, visit  www.ehrdogs.org.

Here’s the Duke from Eleventh Hour Rescue.  This big guy is almost 5 years old and up to now, has spent his entire life in a home environment.  His original family can no longer care for him and he is now in a foster home awaiting adoption to a new loving home.  He is a lab/Rottweiler mix and he is very gentle and loving.  Although he’s an enthusiastic greeter to new visitors, he quickly settles down.  He plays well with children and is very tolerating of whatever comes his way.  Duke loves to play with other dogs, tennis balls, and doesn’t mind the company of a cat.  He walks well on a leash, enjoys a nice car ride, he is house trained and crate trained too.  To read more about Duke, or to see all of our adoptable dogs, to see our upcoming event, or to make a donation, visit www.ehrdogs.org.
