Desparado is a very handsome male, black border collie mix. He was trapped as a stray and is still very shy but very gentle, jjust not sure he can trusts humans. He was named after the Eagles song Desparado "Why don't you come in from the cold." He will be fixed once he is totally socialized to humans.

Pancho is a handsome young black and tan coonhound from Blueridge, GA. He was a stray turned in to the local shelter and rescued by LDR. He was already neutered and is being totally vetted. Pancho has an old injury in his right eye that is being examined to see if the eye can be saved. He is very sweet and affectionate, gets along great with other dogs but has not been tested with cats. He likes to sleep in your arms at night. This is a great family dog! If you are interested in adopting him, you must have a fenced yard. Please email Ron Stoessell at rontoessell@gmail.com for further information.

Rusty is a handsome fella, a typical mountain cur with an orange tint to a reddish-brown coat. He has a white chest and is probably about 7 months old and weighs about 35 lbs.

He is very affectionate, chases balls, loves to play with anyone: kids, adults, other dogs. He likes to sleep on and off the bed at night. Rusty is a great family dog. Please call Ron Stoessell at 985-630-1613 if interested in adopting.

Pumpkin came to Loss Dogs Run from Billy Joe Derreberry near Murphy, NC. She was about 7 months old with a bad wound on the top of her head near her neck. She has been fully vetted and has fully recovered. Her fur color is a solid orangish tan with a black muzzle and black ears. Pumpkin gets along well with other dogs and all people. She can be skittish of humans and is shy but very affectionate. Beautiful dog!

Sugar looks like a white 45 lb Kimmer Cur &amp; possible Am. Bulldog mix, very shy and sweet, about 3 years old. She was found in Wildcat Subdivision in Murphy, NC in late July and brought to nearby Lost Dogs Run, so weak from starvation, that she could hardly move. Sugar recovered rapidly and now is a very quiet and calm dog who just likes to hang around, following her foster mom. She was obviously used as a breeding dog in the past. She is now totally vetted, house trained, and heart worm negative. However, in mid August she had three 2 minute seizures within 24 hours and was immediately put on levetiracetam (initially 3 500 mg tablet a day and now a month later 1 tablet a day) which totally stopped the seizures. Her medicine is not expensive and her dosage is 1/3rd the normal dose and has no bad side effects. We will soon try with no tablets to see if there are still no seizures. Her low energy nature would make her a great pet for a retired couple. She is just so sweet and wants to stay near home. Each morning, she is let out to explore in the neighboring woods and is back within a half hour, eager to go back in the house. Call Ron Stoessell (985-630-1613) or email him at ronstoessell@gmail.com if you can provide a great home for her.
