H.O.P.E Pets for Adoption
Scout is an ~ 4 year old Golden Retriever who is a a really nice dog. Scout who needs a special family - please read all about him!
Scout is a lone wolf - he needs to be the only four-legged child in the home (no cats or other dogs). If you have kids (the two-legged variety), he's great with them. His foster mom says he's great with her kids (all age 10 and over). A fenced yard is a must - Scout can't be out loose as he doesn't like other dogs. So if you have little ones who may let him out, he's probably not the dog for you. Please read on.........
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, please don't give up on him! Scout is a really a loving dog - LOVES people and LOVES playing football - and will toss the ball back and forth to you. Swimming? YAY! Playing drop the football in the pool and swimming combined is the best! Scout will be a super companion in the right home!
Scout is neutered, up to date on his shots, and microchipped.

Harper is a very confident 1 1/2 year-old little lady. She enjoys sleeping in the sun all day and curling up on soft bed covers. She loves playing with anything and everything left to her for toys. She enjoys chasing bugs as her little hunter self. Harper is a little shy and quite independent preferring the other cats to people, although sometimes she will follow you around until she gets what she wants (dinner or toys or a quick pet). She would be perfect for a family that is looking to find a companion for an existing pet or a family that would like to adopt more than one cat. Harper is up to date on her vaccinations, spayed and has tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia.
For more information, please contact her foster mother, Karla @ redefinedesign@excite.com

Amendment I to the Constitution Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are the foundations of any liberal democracy. They protect our right to think and to speak. Without those freedoms the others become moot. If rights are being violated , without a free press, there will be no one to report it.
Attacks on people for having the temerity to think and speak for themselves is a threat to every citizen since it is an attack on our form of government. Paris, France is thousands of miles away. By this time we all know acts of terrorism undertaken by religious vigilantes can happen anywhere.
We are all "Je Suis Charlie" today.
