Echo

Gender: Male
Age: 5-7 years
Status: In foster home

Hi, I'm Echo. I don't know too much about my life except I was picked up on the streets of Palm Beach, covered in fleas. A nice man came and got me from the pound (I don't like it there…) and brought me to a doctor to help me get rid of my fleas and heal my skin problems that the bugs caused.

My foster mom has me on high quality food and something called a green bean diet. I have to lose about 15 pounds. I'm also on some herbs to help with my immune system and skin. I'm on limited healthy treats, like carrots and apple.

I know how to sit and I'm not messy when I eat. I love all sorts of food, veggies and fruits. I don't bark often and love to go for walks and nap. I'm not one for toys, but an occasional run around the house with one in my mouth is fun. I love all dogs and people and am very interested in cats, so I don't know if I like them or not.

I have a quirk or two that I should mention. I don't like crates. They scare me and I get nervous in them. I also need a little time to get used to new people, so until I get to know them better I don't like to be rolled on my back or grabbed sharply by the collar. But don't let these things scare you. I am a wonderful dog and will make the right person a great companion.
I just don't know if all humans are nice so I tend to be careful at first -- must be due to my time on the streets. Please don't overlook me and take me home!!

Love,
Echo

Romeo

Gender: Male
Age: 3 years
Status: Needs a foster or foster-to-adopt home

Romeo was surrendered to EGRR because his family lost their home and had to move to a place that didn't allow large dogs. This is becoming a familiar story to us. With the number of foreclosures growing, many dogs are being uprooted from their wonderful, loving homes.
According to Romeo's teary eyed Mom, he is just a perfect dog. We agree with her on all but one thing – this 3 year old boy tips the scale at 108 lbs. He needs to lose about 30 lbs, and will be eating green beans until that happens. We know Romeo is good with children – he lived with them, including a 4 year old. He likes other dogs and cats as well. He is housebroken, obedience and leash trained. Of course, he comes when he is called, too. Romeo is very appropriately named because he is a real lover. If you would like to meet our lover, please contact EGRR and ask for Romeo.
