Rescue Story: Owner Surrender
Hi there! The name is Buster! I'm a 8-year old, 100 lb Chesapeake Retriever looking to find my forever family. I was previously an acreage dog but now I'm a city slicker that enjoys walks around the neighbour, playing fetch and destroying all the stuffies available. I didn't get walked very much by my previous family but I am good on leash and know how to stay, sit and heel. Because I didn't get much interaction with other dogs growing up I want to ignore them on walks and don't go out of my way to say hi. My foster family has muzzle trained me so that if a dog unexpectedly approaches me on a walk everyone is safe. I currently live in a town house with no backyard, but because I am on a consistent schedule I don't have accidents in the house and gladly wait for my foster parents to return from this thing called "work." Although I'm a big guy I am a HUGE cuddle bug and will gladly take up 75% of the bed and allow you to sleep around me. The retriever instinct in me is strong - so if you are relaxing on the couch I will be bringing you offerings of stuffed toys begging for you to 'Netflix and Fetch' with me. If I sound like the perfect guy for you please don't hesitate to ask about me!
** Training: Enrollment with a force free trainer will be mandatory with my adoption due to my reactivity.**
**Medical: I have slight arthritis starting and will require supplements in the future. I also need to stay on the same diet of Low Fat Gastrointestinal**

Salter-Accepting Applications
Name: Salter
Gender: Female
Age: 3 years in December 2020
Breed: Pyrenees X
Size: XL (90 lbs)
Energy level: Medium-High
Rescue story: I was born into care after my mom was surrendered from a rural area. I was then adopted and my owners tried very hard to work with me & did lots of training but I was still a handful so I was given back to the rescue.
Good with Kids?: No, as I have resource guarding issues and kids can’t read my signals
Good with Dogs?: Yes, most dogs (medium & large playmates only please)
Good with Cats?: No!
Hi! My name is Salter -
My mom, Sandy, had 12 puppies, but only 10 of us survived 3 years ago. I was adopted and then returned because my new owners felt like they could not handle me after much training and adapting. I am a super sweet girl who has done training and knows basic commands in my puppy years. I am a very cuddly girl who thinks 90lbs is a good lap dog weight! I love my tummy rubs! I do like people but new humans tend to take me more time to warm up with, I also prefer females rather than males. I also love my toys, sometimes too much and will become protective of them and will not back down. I am tall so please keep counter areas free of accessible foods. I was house trained before when living in the house and kennel trained but am so big I need an XL heavy duty crate (we can give you an example of this), I am only able to kennel sometimes and would prefer to be free. I used to be good on car rides, but can drool as the motion makes me sick; I have not been in a vehicle for a very long time and would need re-training on this as I won’t get in at all anymore. I am currently on medication (fluoxetine) for my anxiety issues. I do have some resource guarding issues and leash walking issues where I can become reactive. I have been living at the daycare since I was returned, where I have been roaming free inside & out (minimal kenneling has occurred when needed). I am a VERY stubborn girl, as typical for my breed (please read about my breed before applying). Also since being indoors I do tend to have potty training issues at times & sometimes just because I refuse to go outside. I can also be VERY protective of my property and should be in a home where strangers won’t easily enter the yard without proper intros.
**I need a very specific home: no kids unless they are older dog savvy teens, I get along with most dogs but some tend to irritate me and I can be reactive, I will only be rehomed to a home with a fenced yard, and I have lost all my leash training due to being at the daycare so leashes are not easy for me at the moment.**
**Training: Salter will require force free training upon adoption**
**Medication: I am on daily Fluoxetine for my resource guarding issues & anxiety, I also need a special diet of Low Fat Gastrointestinal food or Dental Food*

Kallie-Accepting Applications

Name: Kallie
Gender: Female Age: 12 years (approx in 2020) Breed: Husky X Size: Large Energy level: Low Rescue story: Owner surrender Good with Kids?: Yes! Good with Dogs?: Yes as long as they respect my age & space Good with Cats?: Unknown Hello I'm Kallie! I'm a senior husky mix. I came into care as my owner passed away. I had some health concerns and my mobility wasn’t very good. I have had a couple mammary masses removed, I’ve been spayed, microchipped, I have some ear/skin issues that seem to just keep coming back. I have made wonderful progress though and have had lots of care to get me where I am today. I do have some ongoing health issues that will need to have continued treatment. Now let’s talk about what a wonderful girl I am. I love my people and grow quite attached to them. I do have some separation anxiety and am on medication for it. I do best with someone who is at home most of the time as I do not like to be left alone and can get very stressed. I love to play ball and tug of war with anyone willing and will toss the ball to me for more playtime! I am house trained and I do not get into any trouble being left out loose. I’m not a fan of barriers and have never been crated so that won't work for me. But like I said I’m so good left out that it’s not something I need. I love going for short walks and smelling everything. I can’t do long walks as I get very sore and stiff. I can be reactive with other dogs on leash on my walks, but I’m working on it. My favourite thing to do is to hang out on the couch with my people and just chill. I have been losing some weight for my health for mobility/arthritis issues. I am good with everyone I have met, but those cats I am just too interested in chasing after. I am great with kids who are respectful of me and will play and snuggle with them too. Oh and did I mention I am a very smart girl. I learnt commands so fast, especially for treats! My hearing isn’t what it used to be but as long as I see you, you have my attention. So over all I’m just a pretty happy, chill and very sweet senior gal wanting my retirement home who will love me and make sure my medical needs are continued to be taken care of. I will be your best friend so save a spot for me on the couch, I’m quite the couch hog! **Medical: 1) I will require regular ear cleanings and will have possible future ear infections that will require a veterinary visit and medications to treat. 2) Monitor my fatty lumps. Under my left armpit. 3) I am on Fluoxetine once daily for my separation anxiety. 4) I will have possible future mammary lumps. 5) Monitoring my mobility and hips for arthritis & providing joint supplements & keeping my walks short.** **Behavioral: I do have some reactivity on leash with other dogs & I have separation anxiety & am on meds for that. I will require enrollment with a force free trainer as well** Due to my age & medical needs my adoption fee will be reduced to $300 if you would like to donate to my medical needs please e-transfer to amanda@pawsinneedrescue.com!

Duke-Accepting Applications

Name: Duke
Age: 3 years (approx in 2020) Breed: Lab Collie X Sex: Neutered Male Energy: High Size: : Large Rescue Story: My owner passed away Good with Kids? Yes! Good with Dogs? Yes! I love playing with other dogs! I will require another dog in my furever home. Good with Cats? I haven't been around lots of cats so likely yes with the right cat. Hi! My name is Duke. I’m da best boy in the world, or so I’m told. I am very happy to make friends, so I love going to daycare. If you are looking for a social guy, then look no further! I made many friends while staying at Paws at Play and the staff there said that they hope to see me again really soon and after adoption because they’d miss me too much if I didn’t come back. See? I really am the best! I came into care only because my owner passed away. I have been very loved my whole life and you can tell because I love to snuggle, I know all about treats, and I love to play. One thing I am working on is gaining weight. I know right? You’re all jealous of my svelte figure? Well, my metabolism is high and I’m active, so I eat a lot and burn a lot of calories. You’ll need to budget for a big appetite if you want to adopt me! Hmm, what else can I tell you about me? Well, I have chased some cats, but that was outside while I was excited for a walk. With proper introduction, I may get along ok with a cat in my forever home. I really want a home with another dog in my new home! It’s also important that I find a very, very active family! I wanna hike all the trails, swim all the lakes, and sight see all the wonderful places that allow dogs. Do you wanna do that with me? If so, apply today. I’m told that as the best dog ever, I’m sure to be popular! **Behavioral: due to my high energy enrollment with a force free trainer will be mandatory! Please note! I am a VERY active boy who will need an active home to keep up with me!** Apply to Adopt me Today! https://www.pawsinneedanimalrescue.com/apply-to-adopt-a-dog.html |
