12/30/11: Eyes that melt
your heart
Shelby is a amazing,
beautiful girl who wants
a home to call her own.
Shelby is a lover of all
people and will soak up
any attention you have
to give. Poor Shelby has
spent the last few weeks
in a boarding facility
and we would love to
find a matching home for
her to move to soon...
as would she! Shelby is
a quick study and wants
to please, share your
lap and heart. Shelby
has been spayed and
recovered nicely, is
Shelby a match for you?
12/21/11: Shelby Only
Wants One Thing
Shelby is a real sweet
girl who came a long way
in her temporary foster
home for a few weeks.
When she first arrived
she was having accidents
and did not want to go
outside. After a few
days she was on a
schedule, figured things
out, and has been doing
great ever since.
Shelby is a real big
lover and wants to
please. Her coat is
amazingly dark and she
is stunning. Shelby
adores everyone she
meets; she’s a real
people boxer =) . We are
working on her need to
jump when she greets
you. A lot of this
behavior is because she
is just so excited and
loves attention from
anyone she meets.
When she first
arrived she had no idea
what simple things
meant, such as "sit". We
have been working with
her with positive
reinforcement and
treats; she is now
sitting and acts so
proud when she does it!
Shelby will need
some work with her
leash/walking skills,
and will need to go to a
home with a fenced yard.
We expect that she had
never been leashed in
her life.
Shelby
really only wants one
thing and that is to be
loved and make you
happy. She is a very
smart girl and, with
some guidance love and
consistency, she is
going to be an amazing
companion to whomever is
lucky enough to adopt
her.
Shelby was
in heat when she first
arrived. We have since
made arrangements for
her spay surgery and she
is now recovering and
doing well. She is
currently being boarded
and we are looking to
get her back into a
foster / home
environment as soon as
possible.
11/30/11: What On Earth
Are Some People Thinking
FOSTER HOME
NEEDED FOR SHELBY!
Chloe &
Shelby and
Jupiter &
Milo are very
fortunate to have come
into our Rescue program.
Chloe and Shelby are 2
year old sisters who
were given to a mentally
challenged woman with a
mentality of a child in
hopes that she could
make money breeding the
dogs and selling their
puppies. Both dogs were
bred and each of them
had 9 puppies. Shelby's
puppies all died.
Chloe's puppies all
survived only to have a
questionable fate. Seven
of these puppies were
“sold” and placed into a
variety of unsavory
situations.
We
received the call asking
for help from a case
worker who told us about
the terrible conditions
in which the dogs were
being kept. At that time
both adult dogs and four
puppies were being kept
together in a plastic
vari-kennel (a dangerous
situation to say the
least). When the dogs
were let loose in the
house they had accidents
on the floor; they were
then scolded and spanked
and the mess was not
cleaned.
We
agreed to take all six
dogs and made
arrangements to get them
immediately. Sadly, the
mother of the woman who
had the dogs sold two of
the remaining four
puppies for $25 that
same day. Jupiter and
Milo were the lucky ones
not to have been
“picked”.
Thankfully all of the
dogs are very sweet
although they need some
guidance in the manners
department. They are
friendly to people (all
very loving) and good
with other dogs. They
were in good weight when
they arrived but they
were covered in fleas.
All of them needed to be
vetted; all of them need
to be spayed/neutered
before being adopted.
Chloe and Shelby
are in separate foster
homes. Chloe is doing
well but Shelby needs a
new foster home because
she is not friendly
towards cats. Jupiter
and Milo are together in
the same foster home and
are thriving. We will
never understand the
thinking behind giving
dogs to someone who did
not have the capacity to
care for them. Nor can
we fathom how people can
overlook the welfare of
an animal for the sake
of the almighty dollar.
