Salter-Furver in care
|
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. 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 kennelling 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. **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** At this time the rescue has decided that due to my behavioral/reactivity issues I will be furever in care.

Briscoe-Medical Hold
|
Name: Briscoe (medical hold)
Sex: Male Breed: Terrier X Age: 8months approx Good with cats: yes Good with dogs: yes Good with kids: older kids only Well hello, my name is Briscoe. You may have seen some pictures of me here and there but I have been hiding from the spotlight while the rescue gets to know me, I wanted to introduce myself so you could get to know me and learn more about how dogs like me NEED rescue. I am currently on medical hold. I came into the rescue because this incredible family adopted me from California but had NO idea the type of medical needs I had because nothing was disclosed. I kept getting super sick and it was discovered I had pretty severe Juvenile Diabetes plus high anxiety. The crazy part, I am still only a puppy! It's taken a while to figure out my diabetes so I have been working with some amazing vets to try to get to me a place where it is under control. I am super nervous about getting poked with needles (I mean who isn't right?!) So I have a sensor in my shoulder for my daily scans, and I have to have insulin a couple times a day, plus anxiety medication AND a special rate diet. The folks at Paws In Need have been working around the clock to get me in a stable position to improve my quality of life. Thank goodness the family that had me spotted my issues and worked with Paws in Need to get me the care I needed. I spend most of my days playing with my foster siblings, working on my obedience training and having great naps. For the most part I am a perfectly normal dog now, I just have to have some special care and attention to detail. As soon as my blood glucose is a touch more stable I can finally get neutered! Dogs like me that require alot of care cost rescues lots of money but I promise my life is 1000x worth it. I am such a happy and good boy and thank you so much for continuing to support paws in need To donate to my care please email: Amanda@pawsinneedrescue.com |
Eileen-MEdical Hold
|
Name: Eileen
Gender: Female Age: 3yrs (approx in 2021) Breed: Domestic Medium Hair Rescue Story: Dumped in a rural area Good with Dogs? Yes! Good with Cats? Yes! Good with Kids? Yes! Hello I'm Eileen, the wonder kitty! I came into the rescue with a pre-existing injury. I had been dumped out in a rural area with a broken leg. Over time that leg then healed itself back into place where I lost all ability to move or feel it. After several tests it was determined that my leg would require amputation. Now I live my days as the cutest little tripod kitty! You'd think having only 3 legs would stop me from my adventuring... It doesn't! I am a very happy and adventurous cat. I live with both cats and dogs foster siblings and I'm the life of the party! I love to lay sprawled out in the kitchen while the dogs and cats play with me, taunting me. And trust me, 3 legs does not stop me from jumping! It's actually quite impressive watching me motor around the house! Anytime food is involved, I am THERE. Her fosters have never met such a good & motivated cat. They call her the garburator! When it comes to snuggling, I am top of the charts too. I love to snuggle close, making bread with my one front paw, and I love to rub my face on you, often leaving little dribbles of loving drool. I have a lot of independent woman qualities yet I still have my moments where I am the neediest little love bug around. How come she is on hold? Well ever since her surgery I have been struggling to adapt to the life of a tripod. I am the mostly happy go lucky, living life normal cat. However I have had very inconsistent issues with ongoing pain post-surgery while adjusting, as well as stress related behavioural symptoms like improper urination and depression-like behaviours. I am currently trialing different management medications to balance out my purrrrrsonality and keep me healthy and pain free long term! Once we have a proper handle on getting me and my needs, 100% I will be on the prowl for that puuuurfect family to love me for the unique queen I am! Medical:**I only have 3 legs, and I am on an anti-anxiety medication & pain meds daily to help me relax** To donate to my care please email: Amanda@pawsinneedrescue.com |
Graham- Medical hold
|
Name: Graham
Gender: Male Age: approx. 1 year (as of May 2021) Breed: Domestic Long Hair Rescue Story: Owner surrender Good with cats?: No, I am not good at making friends Good with dogs?: No, I am not good at making friends Good with kids?: yes if they respect my space Hi, my name is Graham. I was returned when I became too demanding of attention and was being rude to the dog in the home. What can I say, I like lots of attention and playtime. It was found that I was having issues with my teeth and they were causing me pain. When I was chewing, my molars were hurting my opposite gums. Those teeth have been removed now. That was a hard time for me because I really enjoy my snacks. It will be a really good idea for my new family to give me dental snacks and help me with keeping my teeth clean. Hint hint, I'll do just about anything for a licky stick! Unfortunately I’m not very friendly toward other animals. I actually like most cats but I just have really poor manners and think it's fun to tackle them like a football player - and most cats don't like that. Also, I can get really hangry at mealtime! So for those reasons it's best if I'm the only kitty at home so I can get all of the attention. I have a beautiful floofy ginger coat, almost the same color as a graham cracker, and it's so soft. Regular brushing helps keep my coat in good condition and I’m fine with brushing except for when you get too close to my belly and back end. Do you like chatty kitties? I have lots of stories to tell. I almost always answer back when you talk to me but I will also be the one to start a conversation because I like lots of attention. Another thing I like to do to get your attention is put my paws on your leg when you’re getting my food ready because I'm so excited - so it’s a good idea to keep my toes trimmed - which is another great opportunity for licky sticks I love being petted, especially on my head and scratches on my chin. I love to be close to you and will follow you around the house – I love to sit next to you on the couch or by your feet, and I also like to sprawl out on the kitchen floor behind you. Be careful you don’t step on me! I also love to play, of course. Tunnels, wands, and springs are the best. I am really good at using the scratching post, I like carpet ones and cardboard ones. And I never have any litter box accidents. **Medical: Graham had teeth removed recently and his mouth will need to be monitored in future to make sure everything is healthy.** He also is undergoing a leg surgery and his bill is climbing! Please consider sending a donation to Grahams ongoing medical care! |
bellini-medical hold

Name: Bellini
Gender: Male DOB: May 23, 2021 Breed: Domestic short hair Rescue Story: Owner surrender Good with cats: Yes! I would love a kitty friend. Good with Dogs: Yes with slow introductions I’m Bellini the shy guy of the group. I am very content to be a lap cat. I’m a big ball of fur and I love to chill. I still get scared when there are sudden movements or loud noises but I’m slowly getting better. I live in a house with a dog and plenty of cats and kids so I do get better by the day. My favourite toys are laser pointers or mice, nothing too loud. I use my litter box and scratching post well. Do you think you have my furever home?? |
