Here's a pic of our new addition! We adopted him from the pound and were told he is a shepherd mix. He's about 9 months to a year and just an absolute love bug!!! His name is KC(KC Chiefs) and will be my new walking partner. Thanks for letting me share.

Do you know any of his history? Any idea whether or not he was mistreated? Does he seem at all shy, or does he cower at all?
Thanks for savings an animal's life, Alyson.

He's very sweet and playful. He only cowers when my grandpup asserts her dominance with him. He hides behind me and looks at me as if to say, what's her problem mom? I have been backtracking his file and this is as far as I've gotten so far. We adopted him from the Oregon Humane Society in Portland on the 14th. He arrived there on the 7th of February from Greenhill Humane Society in Eugene OR. He arrived at Green hill on the 26th of October 2005 from another shelter in Winchester OR. Green hill said he was adopted once and returned by the same woman who said he ate her jewelry. I have no idea as of yet how long he had been at the last one, but have emailed them asking for some info. He doesn't appear to have been mistreated, or at least doesn't act it. Surprisingly, as much time as he has spent in the system, he isn't shy at all. Someone had to have worked with him at some point because he can sit, lay down shake, stay etc... Or he is just very smart and quick to learn. My 16 YO son taught him to play dead yesterday in about 1/2 hour. He is just so eager to play and please. He seems genuinely happy to just finally have a home. When we came back for him at the pound, you could see the look of "oh, you came back! I get to leave" on his face. I hope I can get more info on him. I'd really like to know what he is. His tail curls like a Basenji, but I don't think that's what he is. What ever he is, he's jut the sweetest 65 pound lap dog....:)

..... is that a mutt is far more intelligent than a pure-bred. I don't know if that's true, but it sure sounds like it, at least as regards KC. I like him. I think you did a good job adopting him. Barbie had great success with Annie-Belle, and she too saved a dog's life. I just love that, and I think both of you are super terrific. I know you'll enjoy KC for a very long time; like most loved dogs, he'll reward you two-fold.

Thanks so much for your kind words. KC actualy is joining our other two pound puppies. One is my 12+ YO black lab mix(yes, mixes are wonderful!) who is, sadly on his last bit of time with us. The other is my daughter's black lab mix, she is 3. My daughter is coming home and will take her with her. I've already decided that when it comes time for my old guy to go, I will definitely adopt another. I love having at least two around under my feet...:)
