Happy Endings - 2005 Q3

Muffy
5 year old Muffy was turned into rescue because her owners felt bad that they didn't have enough time to spend with her. Very sweet, friendly and shy, she was an easy little girl to love. She was adopted by a single woman in Cochranville, PA (a past adopter) who works part time at Longwood Gardens and has a lot more time to devote to Muffy. Muffy also has a cat as her new sister and companion. She was in this year's STCA rescue parade at Lulu Temple.

Pytouko
Pytouko, a sweet and gentle 2 year old black male scottie was turned in by his 18 year old owner when he was off on his way to college. He had obviously been well loved, but not well cared for. After he stayed at Judi's in foster for several weeks on a quality diet, and was groomed by Nancy Walthers, he was looking and feeling a lot better. He was adopted to a family in Kerhonkson, NY, and now has an older black lab brother and some teenagers to play with.

Duffy/Bubba
Duffy/Bubba is a 5 year old handsome wheaten scottie, who was turned in for not being a boxer (yes, it's true). The family had taken him from a neighbor who no longer wanted him a year ago, when their boxer died. Even though he was perfectly behaved, healthy and lovely, the family really wanted another boxer. Fortunately, he will now spend the rest of his life with someone who appreciates his wheaten scottiness. He now has a new mom and dad and a wheaten scottie sister to play with in his new home in Milllington, NJ. Special thanks to Nancy Walthers for the great haircut before he left rescue.

Nessie and Mensch
7 year old Nessie and 10 year old Mensch came from the same breeder in NY. A few years after a divorce, their mom in NYC had some medical issues which made it difficult for her to walk the dogs, so she contacted us to rehome them together. We were pleased to be able to find them a lovely mother and daughter living together in Audubon, PA. who were excited to add them to their family, which included another older female scottie and a young westie. Nessie and Mensch have wonderful, endearing personalities and are a great addition for these scottie lovers.

Kerry
5 year old Kerry had a very rough start to her life. Being unwanted by her mom, she was taken to her father's warehouse, where she spent quite some time, we believe, with guard dogs. She was finally turned into rescue, but came in with a serious fear of other dogs. She was fortunate enough to be fostered by an older couple who took excellent care of her and restored her mental and physical health. She was recently adopted to a family in Newark, DE. who also have an adopted daughter and no other pets. Kerry is already making great progress in getting over her fear of other dogs since she's been with them, and is enjoying her new life.

Scottie
Scottie, is a 4-5 year old sweet male scottie who was taken in by a relative when one of his elderly owners died and the other went into a nursing home. Although he wanted to keep his aunt and uncle's dog, his own dog was attacking Scottie, so he needed to get out of there right away. He was fostered with Jim and Linda and then adopted by a retired professor, living in Vineland, NJ, who had recently lost his last scottie to lymphoma. He was very lonely without his scottie companion and I'm confident Scottie is now being very spoiled.

Buster
Buster, a boisterous 7 month old male scottie pup, was turned in by his 21 year old owner when he was transferred to North Carolina for work. He was fostered by club members, the Heitz's, who spent a lot of time trying to wear out his boundless energy. He was groomed by Lisa Cerone and was then adopted by a couple who adopted Kirby from us last year. Buster is now living in Sinking Springs, PA with his new scottie brother and sister and learning housebreaking skills.

Cydney
Cydney, a 2 year old black scottie, had one of his front legs amputated after being crushed in a car accident. His owners dumped him at a PA shelter with the staples still in his chest after the surgery. He was picked up by Animal Alliance, a private rescue group in NJ, who contacted us to take him. After shaving his dredlocks and completing his medical care, Cydney was adopted to a family in Homer, NY who also have a beagle and a cat rescue. We will never forget Cydney's amazing attitude and ability to get around and his cheerful disposition. He is truly a 'special' scottie.

Lilly
Lilly was just under a year old, an impulse buy for the owner's son, but he was unable to take proper care of her and the other family dog and she didn't get along. She was so full of energy, she was probably too much for the older dog. She was fostered with Jim and Linda, and adopted from there to a couple in Linwood, NJ who had adopted a pair of scotties from us years ago. Their female scottie had recently died from lymphoma, and the male was lonely. We're sure Lilly's keeping him so busy that he doesn't have time to be sad right now.

Cami
Cami, a 5 year old female scottie, was ematiated and has significant hairloss, so is being fostered for rehab with club members, Marlene and Charlie Hoyler, who have extensive experience with terrier skin conditions. We are hoping to get her health stabilized and improved so she can go to her forever home in the future. She's a very sweet and friendly dog and gets along with everyone and other dogs.
