Young, cheerful, and outgoing, Ollie is still figuring out his place in the world.  He is a smart boy and willing to learn new things.  He loves attention from his people and wants to play, play, play.  At almost one year old he can be a bit overwhelming with his zest for life.  He is working on curbing his enthusiasm.

Ollie has a good start on his manners.  At the vet, he was a complete gentleman, quietly allowing handling of all kinds, including feet. Knows to sit politely for treats, he is highly “people food” motivated, which helps with training.  Given his age, his recall is very good but will need some time to solidify it.  He loves hopping in the car for trips, though he seems to prefer to ride on the floor.

Very dog social and looking to play with every pup he meets, we think he may do well as only dog with some occasional playmates, or in an experienced multi-dog home.  He’s great with kids, however he can get overstimulated especially with very young ones.  A home with older children or visiting grandchildren would be more to his liking. He is still figuring out how to work that "Off" switch. 

We found out over the July 4th holiday that he is also unafraid of thunderstorms or fireworks.
Ollie needs to learn proper manners in conflicts with other dogs. He is getting these lessons from older, more experienced bitches in his current home. We are very optimistic that he will the boy we believed him to be when we first got him.

Jack is back! He was adopted, but is now looking for a forever home again.

Jack is 5 years old, 50 lbs and neutered. Jack is an absolute sweetheart. He was originally from an Amish farm before he came to NESR. His foster just adored him. He’s friendly with people and children, likes to play with dogs, ignored her chickens and was good with her cat.

Jack was a bit too active for his adoptive home and too attentive to those cats. They were unable to housebreak him. So he needs a home that is experienced with housebreaking an adult dog.

For information on Jack email Kim staroseranch@jps.net or fill out an adoption application here .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NESR Dogs in Foster

Five-year-old Peety needed a new home after his owner’s house burned down, and he could no longer afford a place where he could keep a dog. Though Peety has not been with his foster very long, we know he is housebroken, and alerts by barking to let you know he needs to go outside. He’s good with strange dogs, and our foster reports he also gets along with her dog-savvy cat. He likes pets from people he knows and is good with grooming, brushing especially, and quietly accepts work on his feet.  With a little bit of time, he also warmed up to our foster’s father. Our evaluator found that he loved learning to play Frisbee, and likes toys more generally.

Peety’s first owner lived in an isolated location, and we think he may have learned some bad defensive habits around strangers as a consequence. He will need management around strangers in the home at first. On neutral ground, he’s fine with other people and dogs. In the home, he’d do best with another female, or as an only dog.

Peety is still a ways away from being adoptable, but he has a lot of positives already, and looks like it won’t be long before he’s ready for a forever home. Peety is currently in the Bay Area. To inquire further about Peety, send an email to Rob at rlm@scareduck.com with “Peety” in the subject line.

 

 

Mr. Lucky has had his share of hardship in his young life, but his luck is changing!  He showed up as a stray, probably “dumped”, on a farm in rural southwest Missouri, was taken in by some neighbors who passed him along to a few other homes until someone contacted NESR.  He has recently come into our care and we are in the process of getting him a veterinary checkup and neutered.  We are also giving him some much needed time and space to decompress so we can fully evaluate him. 

So far he seems to be a nice dog, very smart and willing to learn.  He is curious about his new world.   We don’t know yet how he will be with livestock, children or people in general.  He seems to like his foster Mom and Dad, looking for attention and affection.  They have poultry and goats which he has shown some interest in, but has not been tested. 

If you would like to know more about Lucky, please contact Jody at jrichwagen@antrimweb.com Please put NESR Lucky in the subject line.

NESR Annie is a 6 year old Border Collie who is much more ESy than her intensely focused, high speed relatives.  She’s a very sweet natured dog who was rescued from a rough situation and it will be a couple months before she’ll be ready for adoption.  Right now she is super shy with humans, a little chubby (53 pounds, should be 45 or so), and very curious (but still hesitant) about toys and treats. She gets along well with her new “brothers” and watches them closely trying to figure out how dogs & humans can get along.  She isn’t convinced yet, but she has started carefully taking bits of roast beef from patient people.  She walks very well on leash, has been very good about getting all the mats and other stuff brushed out of her coat, hasn’t had an accident after the first two nights, and has never barked at all in the time she’s been here.

She’s getting spayed in a couple weeks. Our goals after that are for her to continue to learn to trust humans.

If you would like to know more about Annie, please contact jan@caledoniamission.org  Please put NESR Annie in the subject line.
