Klaus

Klaus is a TERRIFIC companion who is looking for a loving home that can tolerate a completely housebroken, reliable, well-mannered, leash trained, dog- and cat-friendly, and quiet guy who doesn't jump on people, the furniture, tear your carpeting up, etc. You've got it -- it's hard to find anything wrong with Klaus.

He was turned into rescue by his former owners when they didn't feel like he was adjusting well to their 8 month old twins. As you will see when we post his pictures, he is good looking, black, cropped and docked, and quite overweight, further proof that he was a good dog and particularly skilled at looking hopeful when there is food around.

He is reportedly 9 years old, although he does not look or act that age, and does his best to keep up with the 5 young male and female dober-kids in the house. (His former owners got him from a shelter 2 years ago, so who really knows how old he is?) Now that he is on a lean and mean diet, Klaus is shedding some of those excess pounds and feeling more energetic all the time. This guy is superb, and is more than happy to be a loving and loyal companion, content to sit beside you for a scratch. Or, just stick out your hand or toe, and Klaus will slowly scratch himself, literally for hours. He also loves to chew and chew and chew on bones and is very cute carrying a bone or ball around the house.

Klaus will not disappoint the lucky new family that adopts him -- he will return the kindness with excess to spare! For more information, approved applicants can contact Laura (Blue Grass, IA) at knollbg@msn.com or 563/381-8031.
