Macadamia nuts can cause weakness, depression, vomiting, tremors and hyperthermia in dogs. Signs usually appear within 12 hours of ingestion and last approximately 12 to 48 hours.

Socialize me early and teach me simple obedience. I will need a firm, but calm, confident handler.Proper canine to human communication is essential.

I wonder if they would take hounds into programs like that? After all, we do sniff at everything. We're used for hunting.

Don't make the mistake of treating your dogs like humans, or they'll treat you like dogs. :)

Miss Ava, Brewster is right. You're a good teacher and everyone likes you.Don't feel sad that some sees the handicap and not really see you for your self. They will have to work that problem out. You're very top-nothched. :)))

One great way to stop animal cruelty is to spay and neuter your pets. Educate yourselves.Rupert, I hope for you the best. :))

Submitted by Ellie722 at: October 30, 2009
Dear Reader, Please stop animal cruelty, especially in Japan. If you want look up "Animal cruelty in Japan"... I just read an article about it and Japan is a horrible place for all animals... It's just so heart breaking... Hang in there, Rupert...

Submitted by Mandy at: October 29, 2009
I really love Rupert! I would love to adopt him in a heart beat bc he would make a wonderful member of my family bc I have a dog named Stella who would love someone to play with!! BUT I love in Missouri. Would it still be possible to adopt him? I would LOVE to give him a place called home and be able to take this sweet boy to the dog park everyday!!!!!!

Submitted by JC at: October 29, 2009
Rupert hang in there fella. There is someone for you and the ASPCA people are very careful who adopts you. They want to make sure that you will have the best home possible. :))

Submitted by Rupert says at: October 28, 2009

I can't belive that he is in a shelter and not in a loving home. I hope someone takes him home.

Submitted by Joy at: October 19, 2009
Jasmine, I know that some people can be very cruel at times. But don't let that stop you from being a friend to others.It's their loss for missing out on a chance for being a friend. If you know someone that has a dog,or a kitty, ask if you can walk it or play with it. There's a lot of info on the ASPCA site that could help you. Check it out.

Submitted by Jasmine Madison at: October 19, 2009

Submitted by Joy at: October 18, 2009
It was a pleasure of fostering a black/tan hound in my pack for a short time. He was very active, friendly to the other dogs. Very lovable. Loved chasing a ball.He was adopted, and went to a loving family. I really miss all my little friends.
