Subject: Rescue Help Needed
After hanging up with a woman who's husband has made the infamous "It's Me Or The Dog" threat, I assured her that I would put the word out "there" today. I'm confident if we all work together, a loving, permanent home can be found. So, here goes, feel free to cross post:
FREE TO GOOD HOME:
Male, age 38 - however, often can still act like a two year old.
Will throw hissy fits if he doesn't get his own way. Prefers women, if the *right* guy came along, who knows? VERY possessive of the remote control - if you try and touch it, he will attack. He will sit with you for short periods - cuddling, not-so-much, unless he wants something. Favorite foods are Pizza and Beer - Real Beer, not light beer. Will get an attitude if you mention that Real Beer will make him fat. Messy. Loud. Knows some tricks, such as the quarterback dance.
Can be obnoxious at times, very sweet and loving at other times.
Not a bad sort, really, owner just can't live with the drama anymore.
If you're interested - shipping is an option, you pay for First Class. He does not have a crate, but comes with his own recliner. Comes with money too, but may growl if you ask for some.
There. That's done.....
Our success stories, a.k.a.,our fosters that have found new forever homes:
Axel, Brooke/Ginger, Buddy, Buster, Curly/Charlie, Emma, Faye, Frango/Buddy, Gizmo, Grace, Gracie, Gretta, Gretchen, Hannah/Zoey, Jockamo, King/Ozzie, Lilly, Lexi, Lucy, Monica/Minnow, Olive, Rufus, Sadie, Spanky.
Please read their updates below:
July 15 '08 - 4 year old Neutered, fawn, male. UTD on shots, healthy, housebroken, very sweet, great wih other dogs and seems good with the cats. Let's just say he's on the + size, weighing in at a whopping 41.5 lbs! He should make a great companion. Needs to lose weight and a nail trim, but is otherwise in good shape. Owner surrender due to illness.
Update July 27'08 - Iris Miller reports that Spanky is a finicky eater...who would have guessed! He refuses to eat his kibble....hmmm, prefers table scraps perhaps? Stick with it Iris and Spanky should drop those extra pounds fairly quickly! Spanky continues to be a big hit (no pun intended) for all who meet him. And, surprise to every pug owner out there, he has a stubborn side!
Here's Spanky on the couch with his new buddy, Jake:
Iris says that Spanky has officially lost 2 pounds! Good job!
Emma is a tiny, 7 month old Boston Terrier, rescued from a puppy broker when she was deemed to "old" to sell. Luckily, she has found her way to rescue.
Emma is a very happy little dog. She loves people and is very cuddly. She does great with other dogs as well as cats, and is extremely social. Because she was crated constantly before she came to rescue, she has house training issues, but we are working on them. She will be available as soon as she can be spayed and brought UTD on shots.
UPDATE:
July 14 '08 - Emma went to the vet for her shots, and is scheduled for spay surgery in 3 weeks. She is doing well with her house training and her terrier personality is finally starting to show. She loves to grab a toy and run with it shaking it and teasing the other dogs in the turnout.
July 19 '08, ADOPTED! By Louise and her 7 month old Boston Sophia of West Paris ME. Louise visited today and the 2 dogs did very well together...they look like they could be litter mates! We wish them the best and look forward to hearing about Emma's transition to her new home!
Monica, aka Mino... Adopted 6/30/08!
We have a tiny black female Pug named Monica. As you can see from her photo, she has a damaged right eye and skin fold dermatitis. When she came to us, her black coat was sun bleached from being left outside all the time. She was dirty and smelled like oil...we suspect she often took shelter under cars or other vehicles. Her skin is clearing up nicely now that she is on a great diet. We will have her eye taken care of by our favorite vets at Hampstead Animal Hospital, then she will be good to go! Monica has a fabulous personality and is deserving of a great new home. Check back for photo updates!
Update on Monica:
Monica has had surgery to remove her damaged eye and has come through it like a champ! She is recovering nicely. Her dermatitis is completely gone. She must be feeling so much better! I think she looks like she's smiling!
This great little Pug would make a fabulous companion, and because of her tiny size, she would be a perfect match for an older person or couple. She has lots of personality, bonds quickly with people and has tons of love to share!
Abbie Martin and her 2 girls Sarah and Hannah have taken an interest in Monica, a.k.a. "Mino". We have a play date to see if Mino and their Boston Terrier Lucy might like to be friends!
Sarah and Hannah recently sent Mino beautiful get well cards:
"Mino" says thanks! and she can't wait 'till Tuesday!
Update 6/30/08.

Updates on Hannah the Boston Terrier
Hi Mary-Jo,
How are you? I am so sorry for forgetting to send the Halloween pictures.
Time is going by just too fast. Hannah is doing awesome. I don't know if I
ever
mentioned it, but I renamed her Zoey soon after I got her, as she didn't seem
especially attached to her name. I can't believe it's almost been a year since
I picked her up at the cargo terminal in Philly. She recently traveled with me
to my parents' home in Chicago, and had a blast with their 3 cats and maltese.
My grandfather's memory is going, but after meeting Zoey last year, he always
remembers to ask how she is doing.
Eventually I would like to get a second dog, maybe in the next year or two. We
went on a 1/2 hour run today, and she and the cat are curled up next to me on
the couch snoring! I attached a few pictures of her. I am not very good at
remembering to take pictures, but I will send more as I take them. I can't
believe anyone ever gave up this phenomenal dog.
Best wishes,
Jennifer
Hi Mary-Jo,
I just wanted to let you know that Zoey (previously Hannah) continues to be a
fantastic family member. I fostered another Boston for awhile, and she was on
her best behavior the whole time. The submissive urination is happening less
and less frequently. I thought you'd also find this entertaining- my doorbell
rang the other morning, and it was some little girls from the neighborhood
asking if Zoey was available for a play date. I think she will be missed in
the old neighborhood more than me!
I just wanted to let you know that we are moving to Athens, Georgia. I
graduated veterinary school in May and accepted a 1 year position at the
university down there. I hope all is well with you. My phone number is the
same if you need to contact me for any reason (773) ***-****
Best wishes,
Jen
Updates on Curly/Charlie the Golden:
Curly was the very first dog I took in to re-home. He was a strong, energetic Golden Retriever whose family just didn't know what to do with him. As things turned out, his only real problem was that he was spending too much time in a crate. When they did let him out, he was so happy, as you can easily imagine, he was hard to control. Admittedly, on busy days, Curly spent up to 23 hours a day in that crate. His family knew that was just not right so they surrendered him to me in the hopes he could find the right home.
When we began to foster Curly, it became immediately obvious that he was a fantastic dog. We took him to the Nashua dog park, back when things were just getting started for them. There, a woman named Linda fell in love with Curly and quickly adopted him. She is a dog sitter and she takes Curly, now known as Charlie, to work with her every day...no more crates, just places to run and play and be loved!
And that crate that Curly spent so much time in...we planted it in the turnout. Every day when the dogs go out, they pee all over it! That's what I call poetic justice.
Brooke is a fabulous standard poodle whose family had to move from a large home into a condo. The young, energetic poodle was not able to make the transition, so they asked us to take her.
Brooke has a beautiful personality, tons of energy and is very smart and athletic. A big part of me wanted to keep her and we did just that for about a year after her surrender. I had it in the back of my mind that the original owners would eventually call and want Brooke back, so I didn't want to re-home her too quickly. When it became obvious that was not the case, I began interviewing people who expressed interest in adopting Brooke.
Alainna and I rejected 5 or 6 families before we met John and Peggy Disher of Windham, ME. We wanted an adult only home where Brooke would be the center of attention. We wanted a home that was dog wise, no first time owners. We wanted a family who understood and could afford the upkeep of Brooke's beautiful coat...poodles are high maintenance! And of course, we wanted loving, compassionate people and the Dishers were perfect. They were perfect for Brooke and she was perfect for them...and I couldn't be happier for everyone! The Dishers renamed Brooke Ginger because she moves so gracefully, she reminded John of Ginger Rogers. I thought that was just so sweet.
Rescue is always looking for good foster homes.
Make a difference...volunteer to foster!
