Hunter has broken canines due to attacking the fence (chainlink)
apparently thinking the male next door wants to get to Cherokee.

They both are big love bugs with their owners.  An evaluation will be
done in the next few days as to their reactions to strangers.  They are not
housedogs.  Strong containment will be required.

She has never been in the house, but she will ride in the back of the

ARK-BLACK BART NEEDS A NEW HOME - PLEASE REPOST

ARK-BLACK BART NEEDS A NEW HOME - PLEASE REPOST

According to the owners, he goes for daily walks with 4 other dogs, and
lives with 2 doxies and 8 cats.  The wife is disabled and the husband has
suffered a mild stroke and it doesn't look good for his future.  Bart is very
protective of them since this has happened and will not allow anyone to
help him if he should suffer another stroke.  He fears animal control or
police would shoot him to help him.

He stays in a 4' fence (this is not to be expected when he is rehomed).  He
has never been crated.  He is just over 3 yrs old.

He does guard his things to the point of correction so he will need some
experience handling.

EVALUATION BY A RESCUER:

Bart is a big lovable overgrown puppy. In the face he does look wolfy, but
with the dew claws, and when the one time he curled that tail up over his
back..... Mr. Tanner said at the vet last visit he weighed in at 105 lbs. but
has gained some weight. I believe he probably does. he is BIG! He is an
inside dog definitely. Everytime he goes out and pees or poops he gets a
treat when he comes back in. He's smart. He will go out and pee, come in
for his treat, then want back out to poop so he will get another treat. He
sits for his treats, will give you a high five. So he has done some
obedience training, but he is allowed on any of the furniture and doesn't
always mind when told to GET DOWN the 1st time, or stop immediately
when playing when told to stop. I think he is a really smart animal. Just
obedience has not always been enforced strictly all the time. He knows
his boundaries. A small gate in to the kitchen isn't even as high as his
back but he doesn't even attempt to challenge it. HE seems to leave food
and drinks alone.
As soon as he realized it was OK for us to be in the house he was fine
with us. He immediately wanted to crawl over our backs to assert
dominance, but I didn't allow it and he accepted it readily after the 2nd
failed attempt. He had a gentle mouth when playing with me, he loves to
mouth your hand and arm. Mr. Tanner said he does play rough with him at
times, but when I told him easy when he got a little rough, and froze and
refused to play any more he immediately stopped and seemed to
understand he was getting a little rough and then went back to being very
gentle.
He said he is aggressive towards the vet who had hurt him previously,
but with another vet he did OK, although was very scared and trembling
and he would have guaranteed how he would have done with him before
the visit, He had also given him a tranquilizer before the visit. He has
never been chained or contained in a small space, he gets very nervous
in small tight places. He is taking him out in the back of a SUV more and
more to get him used to it, but he has never been crated. (I haven't seen a
crate so far that is big enough to hold him)
When walking him he keeps him on a short leash, just in case they meet
another dog that he doesn't like. but he said that is not usually the case.
He loves the snow and takes him out on a long leash to play and wrestle
with him
He eats out of the same bowl as 2 other smaller dogs, but will become
food agressive if anything special is put in the dish. He is territorial in the
house and will lung up if the other dogs or cats come to close. but we
didn't see any attempt at any follow through with the threat. He said he did
bite one of the other smaller dogs the other day when it stole his toy and
had to take him to the vet. He had a small puncture wound in his neck.
NO ONE will come into the house uninvited!!!! He is very protective of his
family.

Bart came into this house as a puppy and all the other animals were in
place already. I'm just not real sure how he would be taken into another
house with dogs and cats???? It could be an iffy situation.

Bart is a big over grown baby, that needs lots of love and attention, but
needs to be with someone that knows how to show a gentle but firm hand
to discipline him and be free with the rewards. Instead of discipline I
think he has been trained with rewards for good behavior, and ignored
the bad, if you know what I mean.

The owner said he would love pics of Bart in his new home and an
update on him now and then, but would never visit him in his new home
as it would be to disruptive for Bart. and he doesn't think he could stand it
anyway. He loves Bart, as well as the other animals as is obvious by the
play structures he has built for them all. And he has done everything
possible for their safety and comfort.

SC- HUSKY GIRL- AMAZING GRACE needs your help! PLZ REPOST


Some of you may already know that Huskies R Us is in distress, as a lot
of rescues are right now. I believe that is it is pretty scary out there for
everyone. We are unable to accept any more pets in at the time. Most of
that know me know that I don’t like having to ask for donations and will
only do so in a dire situation. This is such, Gracie needs your help.
Please, if you can, help us to help her- she deserves it

http://i39.tinypic.com/s5lpg2.jpg.

Gracie is a long haired blue eyed Siberian Husky that came to us from a
local shelter a few short days ago. She is low heart worm positive but
she's getting treatment for that now. The first morning that Gracie was
with us she began to scream in pain and laying down and not wanting to
move. Out of the three days Gracie has been with us she has been in the
hospital two of those days. Right now her bill is over $300 and is going to
get worse. (Hospitalization, x-rays, medication, etc). She needs additional
testing to find the exact cause of the pain and the bloody diarrhea.  Hip
dysphasia has been ruled out- the pain is coming from the spine area

Poor Gracie had been in the shelter since January 21st of this year. I
brought her home on March 31. Because we are in such a financially
distressing time I went to shelter to pull just one, but after I got there I
couldn't leave Gracie. Gracie is a somewhat unusual Husky, she showed
no interest in the cats, (even when they ran) or even at the ferret! She is
calm and very laid back

Before we can adopt sweet Gracie out we need to know what is wrong
with this poor girl and get her medically sound. Of course our vet is trying
a few things now, BUT we need some additional testing and with no more
funds and a growing vet bill.. I am hoping some of you are in a position to
help. She is worth it

Gracie's doctor is Dr. Kathy Jordan at Crossroads Animal Hospital and
she will be accepting debit/credit card payments for anyone that wants to
donate that way, her information will be listed below. We also have
paypal if you want to use that

NOW for the sweet part.. Spring is here- and we have 12 hand crafted
ladies handbags... these are brand new, sewn with love by a great
southern lady -and to everyone that makes a donation to Gracie for $20 or
more (paypal or to Vet) will receive one.. postage is on me.

For anyone wanting references pertaining to myself or my Rescue ..
please just ask

SC - GORGEOUS WOOFER BOY NEEDS A HOME - PLZ REPOST

From the foster mom:

Taj greeted us like long lost friends. We remained at the shelter over an
hour, in which time he met with another pup being released, a rottweiler,
Taj was friendly until the other dog showed aggression then he kinda
bucked up..(only low growl, no showing of teeth) but only in defense. He
does not do well with small and furry. There was a ferret in the office and
he wasn't happy about it, but again, he laid down when told to and the
ferret was within 2 feet of him.

photobucket.com/albums/bb72/kfcwolf/daecf0c5.pbw
There was light pulling on the leash outdoors, not as much as I expected
with him being in the shelter as long as he was. He jumped in the back
seat of the car before I told him too and made himself comfortable on the
backseat.

On the way home we made several stops. One was to get a biscuit and
tea. We pulled into a parking lot got him out gave him water.. and to let
him walk while we had breakfast/lunch. He LOVES biscuits! He will sit,
give a BIG paw.. and "speak" for his treats which he takes gently from
your hand.

Back in the car.. got him home... we will see how he gets along with
others soon. I've seen no signs of aggression in him at all. I have rubbed
my hands all over him, tugged on his ears and his tail.. looked at his
teeth.. and placed my hand in his mouth with food on it.
