Elliott, 11 months Male Shih Tzu  Mix Apply To Adopt Elliott is an adorable Shih Tzu who is very sweet and friendly. He is good with other dogs, prefers small dogs. Before his rescue he sat in a shelter for a month with a broken leg. So when he came to us, we had him all checked at our vet and at Vescone and everyone agreed that the leg has healed without surgery. He's a happy and personable guy, but the ideal home would be an experienced small dog person who knows the small dog personality and train him in a positive manner. He rides well in the car, loves to go places with you and his tail tends to wag non stop. Because he is still a puppy, we are looking for someone who is a stay at home or work from home. He's little, so no young children, but 12 and up would be perfect. He came to us with horrible matting in his very fluffy coat, and had to be almost shaved down (as shown in the picture). Shih tzus require grooming every 6-8 weeks and brushing often to keep their coat from matting, which pulls on the skin and is painful for them. This breed can live to be 17-18 yrs old, so we want his adopter to make sure they want to make the commitment to keep Elliott throughout his long life when they make the commitment to adopt. We're not sure if he's been exposed to cats yet. We're collecting donations for Elliott to help cover his orthopedic and vet bills for his many visits during his recuperation. He is ready for adoption immediately. Sponsors: Marilyn Gentilucci John Bullitt Last Modified: 5/7/2008 7:57:33 PM EST Printable Description

Dolly, 1 year Female Labrador Retriever  Mix Apply To Adopt Dolly is a beautiful female lab mix with a big heart. She loves people and shows her affection as often as she can get a lick in. Although she loves attention, she is a calm and secure dog and can spend time alone at home. She is very well behaved, likes to learn new tricks, be outdoors, has lots of energy and loves to run. She has sensitive skin and a mild itch, alleviated with bathing. She would do well in a home that would allow ample outdoor space for releasing her energy as well as either another dog or children to play with. She loves going for walks, riding in the car, and just being with you. She knows many commands such as sit, give paw, lay down, stay, come, heel. She is the perfect dog and deserves the perfect home. Also, she is housebroken and crate trained. Dolly was previously placed by us. Her owner was in a very serious car crash 2 months ago. His family took Dolly in hoping it would be a temporary commitment, but there have been complications, and they are afraid Dolly can not return to her "real home". They have other commitments/animals and cannot keep Dolly permanently, as much as they love her. They hope that she'll find another wonderful home where she'll be appreciated and loved and doted on, as she should be! Last Modified: 5/6/2008 3:01:06 PM EST Printable Description

Silvia, 2 years Female Border Terrier / Terrier  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Apply To Adopt Update! Silvia has completed her heartworm treatment and is doing well. She is available for adoption from her foster home in New York, near Ancram. Silvia’s journey to Save a Dog began in January in Leland, Mississippi which is located in the heart of the Delta. A Good Samaritan saw her in the road where she was almost hit by several cars; she was brought to the city shelter, an unheated facility for which the city provides neither food, water dishes, nor medical care. Fortunately for Silvia, a volunteer from the local rescue, AARF which provides food and supplies for the city shelter, took pity on her and brought Silvia to her already overcrowded home. Two days later Silvia gave birth to three healthy puppies; shortly thereafter, Silvia was diagnosed as being heartworm positive. With the help of AARF and many other volunteers along the way, Silvia and her pups made the 24 hour trip to New York where Silvia is now being treated for Stage 2 heartworm. She will receive her second treatment on May 2 and then will be on restricted activity for another month; her prognosis is excellent as she is approximately two years old. She is a sweet dog, loving, and playful and deserves a forever home of her own. Silvia loves people and would also love to chase cats (so no cats!). She's affectionate, playful, and very eager to please. She loves to cuddle, sleeps on the bed and does not make a sound all night. Silvia weighs about 20 pounds. Because her expenses will exceed the adoption donation, we are asking for sponsors to help with her medical bills.
