Kelly... what a gem!

Kelly has resided so long in a shelter that he forgot what it was like to run and play. It didn't take him long to bounce back. This is one happy go lucky dog. He is an absolute gem. Mild mannered. Kelly plays well with a pack of dogs. He is  people oriented and quiet.

   He will not be available for adoption until after Oct 1, 2008 as he needs to be neutered and updated on routine shots. He walks well on the leash. Although he does not know any basic commands he will be taught them by the time he is adopted. He is crate trained and working on being housebroken. If you think you are interested in this dog and would like to get to know him drop us an email. He is a very happy and devoted dog.  Thank you to Janet Rice and Roger McNerney for sponsoring Kelly. You have made a huge difference in his life! It is the gift that will keep on giving.

 

 

 

 

    

 

What was once lost has been found

On Sunday Daisy looked to have found her forever home, but alas being the hound she is she had one thing in mind...run run run. She managed to jump a 5 foot wooden fence twice. Being a responsible person and knowing Daisy would continue to scale the fence she called several times for advice on what to do as she loved the dog and wanted to keep her...but also do right by the dog. After much thought she returned the dog to our care, unfortunately about 3 hours after returning to our house she managed to get out of our 3 fences that we have, the tallest being a 6 foot no climb horse fence. From 9:15 Sunday night until Tuesday evening we searched out property, made phone calls and drove around looking for her. We were informed she was found.

Lucky for her she is being adopted by the family that found her, giving her a good home.

It is always a good day when a dog gets a second chance, third chance, and even a fourth chance at life!

One less dog Ft Drum has to euthanize!

Here is Daisy with a responsible dog lover :)

Daisy, D2 update

She amazes me with her intelligence and willingness to learn. She has made such huge strides since she came. She has been reliable left alone in a room for hours without any destructive behavior. She is starting her crate training and is completely housebroken. This is one of the sweetest, kindest dogs you will ever meet.

Who am I?

I was picked up as a stray in the Town of Watson in Lewis County and brought to the Lewis County Humane Society. They thought I might have belonged to a coyote hunter but nobody ever claimed me. They named me Sheila and they loved me and took great care of me until I was adopted at the end of July. My new home named me Daisy.

  I was in my adoptive home less than a week and they turned me in to the Fort Drum Vet Clinic because they said I was destructive and I ran away. Amanda at Fort Drum thought I could go to a foster home so I could work on some issues and try to find a forever home. They already have a Daisy here and boy is it confusing when neither one of us know who they are talking to. So they call me D2 short for Daisy #2.

I am spayed, housebroken and I am about 1.5 to 2 years old. I might know how to hunt coyotes and raccoons. I love treeing wild animals and baying to let everyone know what is going on. It isn't that I don't want to stick around my people it is just that I have so much fun chasing scents that I forget where I am supposed to be.

Sheila, Daisy, D2 doesn't a dog deserve its own name?

This dog is an absolute sweetheart! She has been bounced in and out of animal shelters and is looking for a permanent home. She is loving and attentive to children, loves to play, snuggle on the couch and have her belly scratched. She is unreliable off lead at this point because of her tendency to follow scents (exactly what her genes tell her to do). She is headstrong on the collar but walks great on a harness. She has been working on her obedience and can sit, come and lie down in controlled settings. Because of her history she has some separation anxiety and can be destructive if she feels insecure. We have worked extensively with her on this issue since she has been here and she has come a long way in a short time. She has a very strong hunting instinct so she is unreliable outside alone even in a fenced yard. Her energy level is moderate. She plays very well with a variety of dogs. She is less sure of cats but seems to coexist with them. This dog is smart, loyal and has a great sense of humor. She is looking for someone who has the time to devote to her and is willing to help her work through some of her issues.

Hello, Just wanted to say that the movies you have with this ad are amazing. I enjoyed watching and reading the whole thing. You truly love the animals and it is very refreshing. There are a lot of us that love animals and would take wonderful care of them. Again there are others who are horrible to them. God has given you a purpose and your doing a great job!! Blessings, Cindy
