Happy Easter Everyone!
It was a quiet Easter for CompAnimals - no new ones in & nobody going to a new home....but YESTERDAY we drove to the Baltimore Shelter (BARCS) and picked up 8 dogs! A nursing Momma Pit Bull (now Brooke) and her 7 tiny newborns. Once she settles in & is comfortable we will take pics & post on the site.
OTHER RECENT NEWCOMERS - be sure to check out their pics at www.companimals.org:
SMOKEY - a unique mix of Collie & Rotti. 11 months old & full of puppy energy being fostered by Roberta in Newark DE. Smokey is all vetted & ready for adoption.
SADIE - a 2 yr old Rotti that was brought into the SPCA to be put to sleep by her owner because "she needs room to run". Also being fostered by Roberta who just raves about her. Will be available for adoption soon.
CHLOE - a mature Beagle mix girl whose nose got the best of her & she ended up at the DE SPCA. Chloe has been spayed & vaccinated & is ready for adoption. Being fostered by Michelle in Oxford PA.
CRAW - a 1-2 yrs old Chinese Crested being fostered by yours truly. Personality plus and cute as a button. Craw will be neutered on 4/26 & available soon after.
JOCK - a Scottish Terrier who would have probably been adopted at the DE SPCA if it wasn't for his missing hair/skin condition. Has a great personality & already a family interested.
SCHNOOPY DAWG - brought to the Cecil CO SPCA by a neighbor after his owner died. A mellow guy, 9-10 yrs old & very cute. We are calling him a Schauzer/Beagle but his mix is really anybodies guess. Would be great for a retired person who needs a walking buddy. Would also be a great first time foster dog if anyone is interested!
SAMMY - has been with us for a while but only just listed. He is the last of Panda's Litter DOB 11-17-05 (Boston Terrier/Lab) and my favorite. To extra special home only....
FOSTER HOMES NEEDED:
Remember all the little puppies we had at Christmastime? Well, we have been adopting out 1 or 2 each week but still have several left that would benefit from individual foster care & someone who can devote some time to them with crate training & basic obedience to make them more adoptable. They are as follows:
PUCKY: DOB 11-15-05 Black & White Amstaff
This boy is the sweetest in his litter :)
DURHAM: DOB 11-15-05 Black & white AmStaff
This big boy is a CHUNK!
JOY: DOB 11-24-05 Dark Reddish Brown & White Pit Bull (One of Hope's Puppies)
An active, happy girl. A little shy about being picked up but very friendly
PUFF-N-STUFF: DOB 11-24-05 Mostly Black Pit Bull (One of Hope's Puppies)
A mischief maker - this girl wants to be in the middle of everything!
BOJANGLES: DOB 11-24-05 Mostly Black Pit Bull (One of Hope's Puppies)
This boy is the smallest of the litter - very sweet & snuggly & previous foster Mom, Roberta's favorite.
URGENT:
I was contacted by a volunteer from a WV shelter (where Elwood came from) about a White Pit Bull (F) that is "too good to put to sleep". The volunteer has arranged to get her spayed & vaccinated & transport her up here if we can find foster space. Her deadline was Tuesday but she thinks she can get it pushed to Thursday or Fri. I don't normally condone bring Pit Bulls in from other areas as we kill so many of them up here as it is but this dog has an advocate in this volunteer & it would mean so much to her to get her out. Email me at companimals@earthlink.net with FOSTER as the subject if you can help.
And speaking of Pit Bulls - this cute little 1 yr old named CHARITY that I am fostering has learned how to climb over my 4' fence. I am looking for another foster home for her own safety (I am near a busy road) Will need a 5' fence or someone who leashwalks. Charity is great with other dogs & learning crate training. Check her out on the site - she is brown & white spotted & has a cute, almost Boston Terrier-ish face.
ADOPTIONS:
Have tapered off this week.... DEEDEE was adopted & returned when she kept having accidents in the house. She is housebroken here & I think having trouble adjusting to the new routine & leashwalking as opposed to a fenced yard. Oh well - welcome back DeeDee, we'll find a spot for you...
JACKIE (BlackJack) was adopted & is currently in her 2 week trial period. Have not yet heard back - hope no news is good news :) Jackie was fostered by Mark in West Grove PA.
DAKOTA (Black Lab/Terrier) pup went to a new home last week & initial reports are good. She is learning sit, etc & playing well with the other dog in the family. Keep up the good work, Dakota!
RUCKUS (One of Hope's Pups) is scheduled to go to a new home next weekend - in Pittsburgh! Mark will be driving him halfway. Ruckus will be living with a couple of young women who were displaced by Katrina & actually tried to rescue 2 young Pitty Bull pups right before the hurricane. The pups, unfortunately didn't make it. Now that they are in a new home, they are ready to rescue again. Good luck in your new home, Ruckus!
BIG NEWS:
Foster Mom Joy has started her own rescue! Joy has been fostering dogs for CompAnimals for several years or more (mostly the oldies but goodies) and has adopted several as her own. Joy has recently gotten into puppymill rescue - getting the breeding age dogs out of deplorable conditions. She was inspired by her own Dachshund, Heidi, a puppymill survior. Check her new arrivals at www.adorableadoptables.com. Joy's website courtesy of Sherri W also a CompAnimals Adopter!
ADOPTION EVENT:
April 22nd at Concord Pet Supply in Hockessin 10-2
We have flyers up & if the weather holds this should be a great day - Foster Parents, be sure to bring your fur-kids!! DON'T MISS THIS ONE :)
Happy Fostering!
