MINI DOXIE RESCUE PLUS

Sally’s new home must have a yard and it must be secure. She is not a barker so her being outside is not going to bother the neighbors. It’s clear that being outside makes her very happy. It’s her preferred place to sleep during the day. She loves to wander around and explore the yard and its nooks and crannies. Sally spent her life deprived of the outside world so now that she can go outside, she wants to spend all day out there.

She prefers you to just sit quietly near her.

She will let you pick her up and pet her, she just has no interest in seeking out people. She has lived a long life with no affection or attention from humans so she is not really interested in it now. We had our little eraser nose neutered, microchipped and brought current on his vaccinations. He’s been making huge improvements now that he is healthy. Living in an apartment and having to go non-stop did not set him up for success. We are working on Milton’s house training. With his slightly longer legs, a step or two in the home should be OK for him. He will do best in a home with another playful dog. He is a bit fearful of strangers and getting out more would help with that. Milton loves his people and really wants to spend time with them. Now he loves to romp and wrestle with the gang. They quickly taught him some manners and what is appropriate for play. It’s not the first rodeo for our long term fosters either. While he loved the other dogs in his foster home, his behavior with them was considered rude. He had been an apartment dog who did not get out much. The vet’s best guess is that it is an old injury that was never treated.Īs he was getting healthy, we began working on his behavior. We also had some tests run on her cloudy eye to be sure it was not something that causes her pain. We took her for a dental and the results were surprising – she didn’t need a single tooth pulled!! To only need the tartar cleaned is rare in a senior dog. She adores her people and it’s impossible not to adore her back. However, if you are home, she wants to be near you. She just wants to hang out near her people and take naps. Peanut wants a new home where her people are around most of the time. She doesn’t really care about them one way or another. Peanut ignores the other dogs – except when she had to give a stern correction to an annoying puppy. (As befits a diva, she prefers her blanket be down.) She is content to be in a nearby dog bed with a blanket to burrow under. We know this because she has not ordered us to let her be on the bed or the sofa. Peanut does enjoy a short stroll and she may be housebroken with a doggie door. As she has gotten over the trauma of 3 weeks in the shelter, she has begun to relax and be a bit more independent. If she gets to be near you, she is quiet and very well behaved. A quick potty break and a sniff or two and then she wants you to come back inside with her. She is also not a fan of hanging out in the yard, preferring the comforts of inside. She has made it clear that she belongs wherever the people in the house are. She has a voice and she is not afraid to use it to communicate with you.

Peanut is very friendly, but she is also very demanding. He is neutered, microchipped and current on his vaccines. Munch has always received excellent medical care. A friendly and confident female dog in his new home would be perfect for him. He has successfully lived with cats in the past. He needs a no-stairs-home or one with a few steps that can be ramped.Ī new owner needs to be prepared to give Munch a week or so to get comfortable with his new surroundings. He needs a yard (bonus- he appears to be housebroken with a doggie door). Munch cannot live in a city or in a condo or apartment. (If he doesn’t want to go, it’s almost impossible to drag him.) Once he knows you, he loves walks and enjoys a brisk pace. As he gets comfortable, he will then go on a walk with you. We expect the first week or so that Munch will spend much of time in his crate. His new home needs to be prepared to take him on daily walks. In foster care, we have taken some pounds off him, but he still has more to go. Munch is overweight, exacerbated by his spending his days under the bed. Once he is comfortable with you he loves having pets and “butt scritches”.

This plus the coming addition of a new baby, made the family decide they needed to downsize their dogs and find a better home for Munch. They tried taking him for walks but they had to drag him down the hall and he wouldn’t move when once he was outside. Munch was terrified of all the people and noises. Then the family moved to a 3rd floor apartment in California. The vet tech lived on a ranch in Texas and although he was shy, Munch did well when he moved there.
