Rescue Pyrs Available for Adoption
Missy
Missy and her daughter Lilly were pulled from Ruth Steinert Memorial ASPCA. They were brought in as strays. Missy is the one with all the skin problems. Lilly is her daughter. They must be placed together as Lilly completely falls apart when separated from her mother. They have been spayed, brought up to date on vaccinations and Missy's skin and coat are doing well. These two are at the boarding kennel. More on them as soon as I get somewthing written up by the boarding kennel owner. You can see more pictues in our Abuse, Special Needs section of the website.
If you would like to adopt these ladies, please fill out a Rescue Survey Form and contact Barbara Bowes.
Amy was turned over to Rescue by a local Shelter. I believe she was picked up as a stray. More to come on Amy as soon as I get her bio from her foster home.

Annie is 10 months of age and came from a local breeder in Tamaqua. She was purchased by an older couple who could not handle her once she got big. Annie was spayed on 9/20/08. She is up to date on vaccinations and Heartworm negative.
Annie is a typical puppy. She will "get into things" if left unsupervised. She crates well however. She is a sweetheart and loves everyone she meets. She is outgoing and friendly. She needs training to walk well on lead. She does not seem to have been taught much in the way of obedience but she is a fast learner. She loves all other dogs and seems to not be overly dominant in nature. Annie is a very good girl who loves attention and praise.

Bailey is 3.5 years of age. She is up to date on vaccinations and spayed. She was turned over to Rescue as she does not do well with young children. We have some ideas on why this might be happening and she will be seeing our Vet to have some tests run to see if we can find the problem. She is however, good with the other dogs here and I've had no problem with her. She is quite overweight and is on a diet. Test results will be posted once we have the tests run and have the results back. Given her laid back and seemingly sweet nature, we feel that there may be a medical issue causing her problem. She tries to avoid young childen when they are present here. She will move away from them if allowed to do so. We also need to have her checked for some potential orthopedic problems which may be causing her to be a bit cranky as well. She is not yet available for adoption pending the outcome of the tests.

Daisy is back in Rescue. She was adopted out and all was well for quite a while. Recently however, she had decided that the young children in the family were beneath her in the pack order of the home. We will be running a thyroid panel on her to see if that could be the problem. Her coat is sparse and does not look very healthy. The signs point to perhaps her being hypo thyroid. She does adore children of all ages but when food is involved, she becomes food protective. This behavior popped up recently so we are first going to look for a medical cause. She is not yet available for adoption pending the outcome of the tests.

Kipp was the name given to him by the Rescue who took him in. His original name was Ice. He does respond to the name Ice. He was an owner turn-in to Animal Control in the Lambertville area of NJ. Animal Alliance NJ took him and the female in, had them spayed and neutered and updated most of the shots. We reimbursed the Rescue for their costs.
Ice has been heartworm and Lyme tested. He is negative. He LOVES to be brushed. Both he and Snow came to us on, 3/22/08. Ice has lost most of his undercoat more than likely due to the anesthesia from when he was neutered. This is not uncommon. He's a big old sweet boy who needs to learn the rules of the house. He can be somewhat food aggressive with other dogs so should be fed separately. He's very attached to Snow so we are hoping to place them together. He does not seem to be good with cats. We have very little info on these dogs and if anyone has more information on them please email me and let me know.

Kiiva is the name given to her by the Rescue that took her in from animal control. Snow was the name given to her by her owners. She was an owner turn in along with Ice to Animal Control in the Lambertville NJ area. Animal Alliance NJ took her in and had her spayed and updated her vaccinations. We reimbursed the Rescue for their costs.
Snow has been tested for heartworm and Lyme and is negative. She is very sweet and loves to play, especially with Ice. She can be quite standoffish with new dogs and would probably not do well with other large breed females. She is not good with cats. Although they certainly like each other a lot the two of them are not so bonded that they cannot be placed separately. It would be nice to keep them together, but if that's not to be they will do just fine separately. I'll update photos as I can. We have very little info on these dogs and if anyone has more information on them please email me and let me know.

This is Chance. Chance was an owner turn in due to divorce. What to say about poor Chance? Well, we were told he was up to date on his vaccinations. He was not! We were told he was healthy. He was not! We were told a lot of other things as well. And quite frankly, I'll be holding on to him a while to be sure that his temperament is as the owner stated. The one thing I do know that is true is that he is neutered. Chance was a strong positive for lyme disease and had an upper respiratory infection and a slight fever. He was on antibiotics and is feeling much better. He is eating well. Evidently Chance had escaped from his yard and had gotten covered in burrs so he was shaved down. I was told he was 5 years old but he didn't turn 5 until April 15, 2008. He has behaved fine with the girls here. He has shown some food aggression with other dogs, but it depends on the dog. Chance had severe ear infections and had two ruptured ear drums. He has been treated and is now doing fine. Chance is now healthy and and he's a very good boy who loves attention. He's still fine with my cats. Chance weighs 98 lbs. and is a little bit overweight.

The new photo of Samson was taken on 2/23/08 at an adoption day at Tractor Supply. He is wearing a Gentle Leader collar, not a muzzle. He has come a l-o-n-g way over the past couple of years.
Samson needs a special home. He was born on 9/17/04 which means he is now a bit over 3 years old. Samson will need good fencing. If he panics he will bolt and he MUST be kept in secure fencing.
Samson is afraid of people when he first meets them. Samson is at the boarding kennel and Greta has worked with him extensively. He is coming along, but still has fear issues. I'm pasting what Greta wrote about him here. "At his former owners he was used to sleeping on her bed, he loves to be groomed if you can get him to stand still long enough. If he trusts you he will be all about playing not that grooming stuff. If he is afraid he will cringe even when you try to brush him. What a wonderful dog, once he gets to know you. He loves to play but he needs to develop a trust with you before he will even show that side of his personality. He is best meeting new people out in the yard not having them approach his kennel. They also need to meet him on his level, if they walk towards him he will panic (yes we are still working on that). Yesterday he was even brave enough to let someone he never met give him a hug, the look of terror was in his eyes but when he realized there were treats involved he was more relaxed. But when the man stood up he was ready to run back into his kennel. He enjoys the company of other dogs and seems to learn from them that people are okay. He will bark at cats and other critters in the yard and people when they pull into the drive way but is learning the word "Quiet" and that when mom says that he needs to stop barking. He seems to take his clues from his new kennel neighbor Lucy. When Lucy barks, he barks and Lucy has been taught "Quiet" so he is learning that also. He loves to play with Lucy running and jumping along the kennel line wagging his whole body. He gets his toys out of his Dog Igloo where I put them when I clean the kennel, and will chase a ball but hasn't quite figured out what to do when he picks it up. Some toys he just plays with others he shreds, like the medium size basketball that only lasted a few days. He has learned that tennis balls bounce and they can be fun. He is beautiful, very white long hair with two gray spots on his back and a few gray hairs on his face. Very pretty face.He seems to enjoy kids more then adults but women are his favorite. If a kid moves too fast he is gone but he watches them and acts like he wants to play. He is pleasant to walk as long as there are no small critters (cats) he thinks he needs to chase then he forgets that you are on the end of the leash and tries to drag you along. He is afraid to go into the house but will do so if you insist. He stops and backs up before the door but if you just keep him moving he is okay. Every new experience will take time and patience till he has his confidence in the person. I did have him crated and he panics in wire crates but will settle down, once he realizes he can't escape. (Wire crate must be very strong as he will try it) When he got neutered he went willingly into the largest size Vari kennel with no problem. He has grown since then so I'm not sure if he would still fit."
