Happy Endings - 2006 Q1

Bradley
8 Year old Bradley's mom died young of cancer, leaving his dad unable to care for their 10 dogs. We took Bradley and arranged for the yorkies, westies and schnauzer to go to our rescue colleagues in those breeds. Bradley had a matt so large on his head, that he wasn't able to close his eyelids. We don't know how long he'd been that way. Judi Dahl fostered Bradley, cut out his matts and treated a badly infected hematoma in one ear that had become krinkled. Bradley is a gentle soul that gets along with everybody. He came to our grooming seminar where Marge Rosa completed his grooming. He was adopted to a retired teacher in Mt Tabor, NJ who also has a female wirehaired doxie and a female maltese rescue. Everyone gets along famously and they all pile up to sleep on mom in the bed every night!

Angus
A 1 year old energetic scottie pup, Angus was picked up as a stray by the Gloucester County Animal Shelter, who contacted Susan Finn. The Finn's fostered him, took him to the vet and groomed him, so he'd be ready to adopt. Shortly afterwards, we sent down a semi-retired biology professor from Staten Island to adopt him. Angus' energy is keeping his new dad on his toes, but that's exactly what he was looking for!!

Duffy
An elderly couple purchased a scottie puppy to help ease the pain of losing their older scottie. Within a few weeks they realized they didn't have the energy to keep up with a puppy's needs. Duffy came into rescue and began exhibiting symptoms of CMO within a few days, about the right age for it. Foster parents, Nan & Don Barcan began treating him with a mild anti-inflammatory until he outgrows this active stage in another 6 months, which seemed to do the trick. He was adopted to a family in Downingtown, PA with 2 children and another dog and is doing wonderfully!

Liam
You may remember Liam, we got him after a police seizure of many terriers from a NYC apartment when the owner died. Very unsocialized and traumatized, Judi worked with him for a long time to get him ready to go forth into the world. His last placement, although they made great progress with him, didn't ultimately work out. His new owners had a lot of company for the holidays and with all the excitement, people, and other dogs, he became traumatized again and fearful of the dogs and hid under the bed. Hearing this, Judi was there in a flash to retrieve Liam. Within a few hours of returning to Judi's house, he was his old happy self again and happy to see all his old pals. We placed him a few weeks later with two women in Queens who had recently lost their scottie to cancer and had no other dogs. They are also building a new home in upstate NY close enough for Judi to visit. All is going perfectly and they simply love him. We hope this is the last stop for dear Liam.

Wheatley
Rescued from a breeding kennel, Wheatley, a very shy, 3 year old, wheaten scottie quickly learned housebreaking skills and leash walking in the Barcan's care. She had always chewed her feet to comfort herself to the point where her legs were stained from saliva. This habit stopped within a short time with love and things to keep her busy. Wheatley was adopted to a family in Darien, CT with 2 teenage children, a female scottie and a female yorkie, and is continuing to learn and evolve. We miss her!!

Raven
A sweet, shy 3-4 year old black scottie, Raven was attacked by another scottie at her kennel home, injuring both ears and causing them to fall over. As with all the other breeding kennel girls we took into rescue, she needed some time to learn how to live in a house, get over her fears, housebreaking skills and leash training. The Hoylers worked with her for several weeks to give her these skills and she was a fast learner. She was subsequently adopted by a single woman in Silver Springs, MD who is in the process of moving to a home in Cape Cod. Retiring soon, she will be able to spend the majority of her time with Raven, who she adores

Plum
A 4 year old, beautiful, black scottie, Plum was so scared that she needed to be carried everywhere when we got her. In time, she became very comfortable with our dogs, who helped teach her that she'd be OK. When she was ready to move onto her forever home, she was adopted to a single woman in Cape Cod, with another female scottie, and who'd adopted from us before. The 2 girls are tightly bonded already and love to walk on the beach together. When on the beach, Plum walks with her head and tail up and is really learning to enjoy life!

Jersey
When his owners decided to move to NYC, they knew 9 year old Jersey wouldn't be able to make the adjustment to city life and contacted us for placement. He did very well in foster at Judi Dahl's house with her other dogs and as an indoor dog. What a winning personality! We arranged a 5 person transport of past adopters and friends of scottie rescue to get Jersey to his new perfect home in Ontario, CA. They love Jersey and he's really enjoying all the attention and exploring all over the house and garden. His new mom teaches yoga classes from home and her clients bring Jersey toys and treats, so he can't wait for visitors to arrive!!

Max
A friendly, 3 year old scottie/cairn mix was turned in by his owner who didn't have time for him. This was also his second home, as her sister had originally adopted him from a shelter and given him away to her. Unphased, Max enjoyed everyone's attention and was easy to place. He was adopted by a couple in Carmel, NY who had adopted from us before (my first rescue in the club). They'd recently lost that scottie to bladder cancer at almost 15. Max is enjoying having his mom at home and lots of land to run around instead of being confined all day!
