Terrier - Medium - Young - Male - Dog - DUSTY

DUSTY is a mix of Terrier and perhaps Shepherd although he is a small to medium sized dog - about 35 pounds. He has a happy-go-lucky personality and is full of energy to play and have fun. DUSTY deserves to have a good home after being in a city Pound and abandoned by his owner. When applying please consider your application seriously. We are unpaid volunteers trying to save these animals in addition most of us have jobs and families. When applying for an animal don't apply unless you are serious about taking a rescued animal into your home. To apply based on curiosity only to back out has cost another animal its life since the time we spent on your application could have been used to save another life.Once you are official notified by e-mail that your application has been approved you have 24 hours to make the donation on a pet who has not yet arrived into New England. Otherwise if a dog or puppy is sent on the transport and you are not at the drop location to receive your rescued pet, he has been abandoned once again .If a dog or puppy is already being fostered in New England and you feel you must meet the dog to finalize an adoption, only a reasonable amount of time will be allowed to accomplish this task, otherwise the next person on the list will be allowed to visit and possibly adopt the dog. If after agreeing to adopt one of our fur babies you decide to back out we will not consider another attempt to adopt from us in the future. FOR PUPPIES: HOMES CONSIDERING PUPPIES MUST BE PREPARED FOR:FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES FOR POTTY TRAINING-THEY CAN ONLY "HOLD" IT FOR ONE HOUR PER MONTH OF AGE.CRATE TRAINING FOR THE NEXT 10 MONTHS KEEPS THEM FROM CHEWING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.SUPERVISION WITH CHILDREN, AND OBEDIENCE TRAINING.SOCIALIZATION-A GOOD DOG MUST BE EXPOSED TO A LOT OF STIMULATION AS A PUPPY SO THAT NEW PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENTS DO NOT INTIMIDATE THEM AS ADULTS. THE MORE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES -IN AND OUT OF THE HOME- AS A PUPPY, THE BETTER.ADOPTERS THAT WANT TO HAVE GOOD DOGS MUST BE PREPARED TO PUT THE TIME AND EFFORT INTO TRAINING. PUPPIES IN PARTICULAR ARE A LOT OF WORK !! THEIR BEHAVIOR AND STAGES ARE EQUIVALENT TO A 2 OR 3 YEAR OLD CHILD. IT TAKES A FULL YEAR TO HAVE A CALMER, WELL ADJUSTED DOG! PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER ADOPTING A PUPPY IF YOU HAVE NOT THOROUGHLY THOUGHT THROUGH THE PROS AND CONS OF A PUPPY...PUPPIES CHEW, JUMP AND THEY CAN BE HYPER. THIS IS NORMAL PUPPY BEHAVIOR.PATIENCE, TOYS, SOCIALIZATION, SUPERVISION AND OBEDIENCE TRAINING IS A MUST!!All known information is listed here. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and don't come with a known history. We do our best to estimate age, breed and health, but we are giving an educated guess. We start the rescue process and we send dogs to homes where you are in effect the finishing school for the dog.http://newenglandallbreedrescue.org/forms/adoptionapplicationneabr.rtfPlease submit all Adoption Applications to: application@newenglandallbreedrescue.org
