A Great Holiday Gift

Looking for a great gift for yourself? Here she is! Minnie loves taking walks, watching tv, cuddling, playing with toys or chasing snowballs.

She is not a barker. She speaks on command and has some pretty funny vocalizations when she plays hard. Her manners are impeccable in the house. She learns routines quickly and goes to her room at mealtime and when she is asked. Minnie responds appropriately when she is given boundaries and limitations. She is shy and takes time to adjust to new people and settings. If you are looking for the perfect canine companion, Minnie is a must see!

Help The Cause

If you would like to put out Flyers for Minnie here is a link.

It is a pdf file just print and post.

She has been doing great here. Minnie has warmed up to us and is a really great dog. She lets you know when she needs out and even lets you know when she is ready to come in. If she gets too excited she calms down pretty fast in a room by herself or with someone with her.

Really fun to play with outside throwing all sorts of toys, she really is not too picky.

Minnie enjoys following us when we go on the quads with the other dogs and has gotten better about coming when called. I think this is due to her getting to know us. Once she trusts you she is very sweet. Have not seen any issues with men (warmed up to Zach and Patrick (Me) the most.)

As I stated before she will make one loyal dog. She would do well as the only dog if she had a choice, but does get along with and plays great with all our dogs.

Your Minnie Update Report

Minnie 006

She is a great dog! Very shy and takes some time to warm up to you. Plays well with our other dogs too. Appears to get along with our cats as she has not shown an interest in them as of yet.  She is pretty low key inside and sleeps well at night. She is also spayed.

She needs training in the following areas:

Coming when called

Walking on leash

Those items we are working on and that should help her progress into other great areas.

She will play with toys, chase you around the yard and loves to be petted (once she knows you).

 

Minnie will be one loyal dog! She even enjoys kids!

How about a warm welcome

For Foster Dog Minnie.

 

Minnie 003

She rode fine in the car all the way home. She enjoyed looking out the window and seeing stuff go by. Once home she ran circles in the backyard, and enjoyed playing with our dogs.

 

Video to come soon.

A little profile on Jack

1. He is microchiped

2. Has current shots

3. Has been neutered

4. Approximately 3 years of age

5. A golden Lab, in case you did not read below :)

6. Good natured.

     He is starting to show what kind of dog he is. I believe it takes a few days for a dog to relax in a new environment.  When we first picked him up he was scared and unsure, in about 5-10 minutes he started wagging his tail and acting like he knew us for a long time. No problem loading in to the car and enjoyed the ride home. No crying or barking while riding either.

      Once home we took him for a 45 minute walk prior to introduction to our dogs. We introduced everyone with no problems.

       Jack has been on several leash less walks with us, he wanders ahead a little but looks back and comes when called. He will fetch sticks and balls, but does not always bring it back. I am sure with some work he will be a good fetch dog. He does sit, but needs work as he tends to get distracted easy.

        He tends to jump up when greeting people, this is being worked on too.

        Jack will make a great dog! He can be timid but over time and training he will overcome this.

Making his Video Debut JACK!

Saying Hi to Jack

We picked up Jack on Saturday from the Fort Drum Shelter. He was close to being put to sleep but was given a second chance. He has been a great dog thus far. Gets along great with all of our dogs 7 total he makes 8. Comes when called, and is pretty low keyed. Pictures and videos to come. Check back to see his progress.
