These two are on "last call", ALREADY NEUTERED and come with sponsorship $ for anything else needed. No one can help either of these boys?

We need a response on these dogs by the end of the week!!!


THERE IS NOW A $200 sponsorship on EACH of these dogs!!!

Remember, we have done their vaccinations (excluding rabies), dewormed, and given flea prevention and since both dogs are ALREADY NEUTERED this money could be used to help other animals in your care!

The following animals are only available to approved, licensed rescues. They are NOT available for adoption through our shelter and are in NO WAY to be posted to Craigslist. If they are posted to Facebook, please retract any and all mention of the shelter where the animal is located. This is for the safety of the animals as well as shelter staff.
Do not call the shelter! Respond via email only to: ake...@cherokeega.com<mailto:ake...@cherokeega.com> <mailto:ake...@cherokeega.com>

Thank you!

Tripod is, you guessed it, a three-legged Lab! He is two years old and weighs 65lbs. We're not sure how he lost his leg, but we sure know he's a sweetie! This handsome devil came in with his buddy, Shutterbug, and they're a pretty adorable pair. Tripod is the outgoing one, very affectionate and friendly with dogs and people alike. He passed our behavior assessment without issue until we got the the "food aggression" test. This test is performed to judge the dog's ability to eat with another dog near his food bowl (not to be confused with resource guarding toward humans). Unfortunately Tripod failed this portion and is not eligible for adoption through our facility (dogs in adoptions are paired in a single kennel). He DOES eat well with Shutterbug though if someone was looking for a pair. Must have rescue commit by 4/2!


Shutterbug is a one year old male Lab mix. He weighs 35lbs and passed our behavior assessment beautifully. Shutterbug is just on the timid side and not a good candidate for our loud adoption kennels. He tends to hide a little when visitors pass by and is slow to warm to strangers. When he does, though, he's full of affection. It just takes him a little longer. He loves his buddy, Tripod, if anyone is looking for a pair! Must have rescue commit by 4/2!
