Bear
Available for Adoption
(Rochester Area)
(Last Update 08-16-10)
Meet Big Bear !!

He is a 2 year old 95lb giant with a heart of gold !!

Bear is a happy boy who gets along with everyone.

He's crate trained, house broken, has great indoor manners, is fine with our cat, and gets along with our 1 1/2 year old Shepherd, although he really doesn't "play" with her.
He could chase a tennis ball outside for hours.
Bear LOVES being with people, can't seem to get enough of us !!
Bear is good in the car, although he will bark if he sees another dog. He could use a little help learning how to walk nicely on a leash. We've taken him several times to the park, he does great with everyone he meets (people and dogs) but still has to learn to heel, as he tends to pull.

Bear is neutered, up to date on shots and micro chipped.

Judo
Available for Adoption
(Rochester Area)
(Last Update 08-23-10)
Meet Judo

Judo is a 3 year old male born 9/12/07. He was removed from the owners home along with Jaya. He is still under weight at 76 pounds.
He is always looking to eat, he acts like he is starving, eats very fast. I have been putting his food on a baking/cookie sheet so he doesn't eat so fast. He doesn't like being in the kennel, but has been adjusting very well. He is very playful, loves squeaky toys and balls. He does well with other dogs, but wants to play. Does well on the leash for walks. Did awesome when I washed him outside with the hose, he stood right there and let me give him a bath. His tail is always wagging and seems to love people.

His right up says that he does not do well with cats and not sure about children.
He knows some commands and comes when he is called.
He is a beautiful dog, would do well with other dogs in the home, he has a lot of energy and wants to play and please.

Max
Under Evaluation
(Rochester Area)
(Last Update 09-02-10)
Dorothy Cusker
Silver level
Guardian Angel
Ruth Craugh
In Honor of BrightStar’s Shane and his Mom Kyla

Cherub level Guardian Angel

Meet Max

Please meet Max. He is almost nine years old with a broken heart, and spirit. His owner died and he stayed vigilant by his side in their house for a week until they were discovered. The Humane Society in their area immediately contacted BrightStar to have us step in and help this kind, sweet dog.

Max has a very bad flea infection. As luck would have it, he is also allergic to fleas, so his skin is raw from inching and scratching. His hair is almost gone on his tail and back end. His ears are red and crusty with an offensive odor. He is about 20lbs. under weight and walks with a slight limp in the front. His hips are not very strong either.

As soon as he arrived off to the vet we went and had a full check-up done. She found that his ears were already starting to improve from the flea preventive that was given him at the shelter. We were told the offensive odor would also start to go away as long as we kept his ears cleaned and medicine applied on a daily basis for about two weeks. Then ear medicine applied on an as needed basis. His nails were quite long, so we trimmed them as short as we could to help him walk a little better. They probably hadn't been trimmed in quite a while. She suspects hip dysphasia and arthritis are his problems with his movement. Because of his age, x-raying his hips are not an option. The next step was to draw blood to check for heart worm and Lyme disease. Max is heart worm negative, but as luck would have it, he has Lyme disease. There is no cure for Lyme disease, we just need to keep it under control with Doxycycline Hyclate. Max get four pills a day for thirty days. That should keep the disease under control until he becomes symptomatic again, then back on the pills.

The vet said with a improved diet, and his medication, and lots of TLC, Max should be on the road to recovery sooner than later. He looks as though he may be a beautiful black and tan "plush coat". Time will tell. Now all we have to do is try to mend his broken heart and spirit. That is going to be tougher that the physical healing.

Please keep Max in your prayers and maybe consider being a Guardian Angel for this beautiful handsome boy. Max is a gentle giant with a heart of gold.
