Listed: 08/29/2011 Daisy Sex: Female Age: 2 1/2 Months Coat: Smooth coat, Black & white Weight: 15 lbs. Activity Level:  Companion/Active Companion   Daisy is an adorable puppy that was found as a stray. She is very outgoing and friendly, very playful and is full of typical puppy antics. She is currently living in a foster home with several other dogs and children, and she has been learning the ropes of being a wonderful family pet. Daisy's birthday is approximately 6/1/2011. She is current on vaccinations and will be spayed prior to going to her forever home.   For more information and updates on Daisy, please EMAIL or visit Humane Society of Uvalde or call 830-275-1744. The shelter is about 90 miles west of San Antonio. We have volunteers who are willing to help transport if she is the right dog for you. Listed: 06/08/2010 Dakota Sex: Male Age: 2 Years Coat: Smooth, Black & White Weight: 65 lbs. Activity Level:  Active Companion   Dakota is from a large litter of mostly boys. He is completely vaccinated and he's neutered. He's also been taking monthly heartworm preventative since he was 3 months old. Dakota has the most adorable personality ever!!! With so much charm and good looks, he's sure to catch someone's eye.... if only it would happen soon. You see, Dakota has been in foster care since he was just under 6 weeks old. A slow economy coupled with the fact that he's a big, black dog have all worked against Dakota and his brothers. Take a few minutes to google "big black dog syndrome" and learn the plight of these often overlooked dogs. The statistics of black dogs being euthanized in shelters across America are staggering. Black dogs just don't get adopted, plain and simple. Dakota is quite the scholar. He learns things quickly and makes sure the rest of us stick to the routine. He mastered the doggie door in an instant and helped us teach everybody else how to use it. He loves it because he really enjoys playing in the backyard, but comes back inside when he's ready for a nap or a treat. He loves to go for walks and meet new people. Dakota sleeps in his crate at night and likes to have his bone in there with him too, especially if it has a little cheese in it!! To say that Dakota is the lively one of the bunch may be an understatement. As a pup, he'd wait until everyone else was settled in for a nap and then he'd decide to march on top of the dog pile and methodically choose whose ears to pull or whose tail to tug. It was simply sport to him!! And rest assured, he still has that same playful nature. Dakota is a happy dog and loves the company of people of all ages and also other dogs. If you're looking for a shy dog, Dakota's not for you. But if you want a playful, smart and devoted friend, he's a great choice. Dakota won't disappoint! Dakota and Hank (listed below) are brothers.   If you'd like to schedule an appointment to meet Dakota, please contact Project Pawz at 903-874-3722 or via EMAIL.   Check out all the dogs available for adoption by Project Pawz.
